IDF: Fighter jets strike building at Gaza City’s Islamic University being used as base by Hamas operatives

Israeli fighter jets struck yesterday a building at Gaza City’s Islamic University, where Hamas operatives were gathered, the military says.

According to the IDF, the university building in the Gaza City neighborhood of Sabra was used by Hamas operatives to launch anti-tank missiles, observe Israeli troops, and plan other attacks.

Before the airstrike, the IDF says it took “many steps,” including aerial surveillance, to mitigate the potential harm to civilians.

Other strikes were carried out in Gaza over the past day.

In southern Gaza’s Rafah, the military says troops killed several gunmen, and a drone struck several sites used by terror groups, including tunnels.

The IDF says fighter jets also struck buildings in northern Gaza near a rocket launching site used in an attack yesterday on southern Israel by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Several more targets, including weapon depots and cells of operatives, were struck in central Gaza, the IDF adds.
