Israeli strike on college kills at least two Gazans

An Israeli strike hit a college housing displaced people on Tuesday, killing at least two in the Saftawi area of the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian Civil Emergency said.

Israeli forces killed 33 Palestinians across Gaza in the past 24 hours as they battled Hamas-led militants, Palestinian officials said on Tuesday, but brief pauses in fighting allowed medics to conduct a third day of polio vaccinations for children.

The campaign, which was hastened by the discovery of the first polio case in a Gazan baby last month, relies on daily eight-hour pauses in fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in specific areas of the besieged enclave.
