At least 54 Palestinians have been killed – most of them in a school building sheltering displaced families – during Israeli air strikes on Gaza overnight, hospital directors have told the BBC.

Fahmi Al-Jargawi School in Gaza City was housing hundreds of people from Beit Lahia, currently under intense Israeli military assault. At least 35 were reported to have been killed when the school was hit.

The IDF said it hit 200 targets across Gaza in 48 hours as it continued its operations against what it called \"terrorist organisations\".

Meanwhile, a senior Hamas official told the BBC on Monday that the group had agreed to the latest ceasefire proposal from mediators.

A Palestinian official familiar with the talks said the plan includes the release of 10 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in two phases.

In exchange, there would be a 70-day truce, a gradual partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners, including several hundred serving long or life sentences.
