Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A group of Hamas operatives gathered at a school in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood were struck by a fighter jet a short while ago, the military says.
According to the IDF, Hamas was using the Dalal School as a hideout for operatives and commanders, and it had planned attacks against Israel from the site.
The IDF says it carried out “many steps” to mitigate harm to civilians, including using aerial surveillance and precision munitions.
Hamas authorities reported at least 12 dead in the attack.
