A game of football, a boom, then scattered bodies: video shows moment of Israeli strike on Gaza school
As death toll from strike rises to 31, video broadcast by Al Jazeera captures panicked aftermath
The scene shows a moment of respite and relative calm in Gaza: a crowd of people watching a football match in a school playground. A player fails to control a long pass from a teammate. The opposing goalkeeper gathers the ball and looks to launch it back up the pitch.
But just after he throws the ball, a deafening boom sends everyone present running for cover, including the person filming. “A strike! A strike!” someone screams.

EU designates XNXX a very large online platform under DSA
The European Union has designated adult content website XNXX as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under its Digital Services Act (DSA), the bloc said in a statement on Wednesday.

British diplomat and Japanologist Ernest Satow (1843-1929) climbed Mount Fuji in the summer during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) and was completely taken with the view from the summit.
Satow extolled it as "the height of majesty" and "spectacular beyond words" in his guidebook, where he explained Fuji's ascent and descent routes and its flora to European and American readers.
A compilation of his notes, translated into Japanese under the title of "Aanesuto Satow no Meiji Nihon Sangakuki" (literally, Ernest Satow's stories of Japanese mountains in the Meiji Era), contains lessons for alpinists that are just as valuable today as they were nearly 150 years ago.

'Beginning of two legends': Photos of Messi and baby Lamine Yamal resurface
In 2007, a young Lionel Messi posed for photos with a baby in the dressing room of the Camp Nou in Barcelona for a charity calendar photoshoot.
Messi, who was 20, was already making a name for himself and would go on to become arguably the greatest of all time.
But little did the photographer know that the baby would also make waves in international football less than 17 years later.
Messi was bathing Lamine Yamal - the 16-year-old who is taking the European Championships by storm.
His goal against France in the semi-final on Tuesday is one that will be talked about for decades.
