DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli airstrikes hit a school being used by displaced people in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing dozens of people, as the country's negotiators prepared to meet international mediators to discuss a proposed ceasefire.

At least 30 people sheltering at a girls' school in Deir Al-Balah were taken to Al Aqsa Hospital and pronounced dead after a strike that Israel's military said targeted a Hamas command and control center used to store weapons and plan attacks.
