Dozens of people were killed in an overnight Israeli air strike on a United Nations-run school in central Gaza, authorities said. 

"CNN" reports that the attack was carried out with US-made weapons.

A CNN analysis of the scene and a review by an explosives expert found that US-made munitions were used in the attack on the school.

CNN identified fragments of at least two US-made GBU-39 small-diameter bombs (SDB) in video shot at the scene by a journalist. 

This marks the second time in two weeks that CNN has been able to verify the use of US-made munitions in deadly Israeli attacks on displaced Palestinians, the first being a deadly IDF attack on a displacement camp in Rafah on May 26.

The school, run by the UN's Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), was housing displaced persons in the Nuseirat refugee camp at the time of the incident, the Gaza government's media office said.

At least 45 people were killed in the attack, a spokesman for Gaza's Health Ministry said.

The Israeli military confirmed that it carried out the airstrike, after targeting a Hamas compound operating inside the school.

Palestinians in central Gaza have reported that the intensity and frequency of Israeli attacks in the past week have felt like the beginning of war./ CNA
