The IDF and Shin Bet announce that several “key Hamas terrorists” were targeted in an airstrike in Gaza City a short while ago.

The operatives were at a command center that was used by Hamas to plan and carry out attacks on Israel and troops, the military says.

The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike. According to Palestinian media, the strike hit a former school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.
