The Israeli military says it carried out a strike overnight against “key terrorists” who were embedded within a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood.
According to Palestinian media, at least 25 people, including children, were killed in the strike on the Al-Jarjawi School.
The IDF says that the school was being used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a command center.
“The command and control center was used by the terrorists to plan and gather intelligence in order to carry out terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops in the area,” the military says.
The military says it took “many steps” to mitigate civilian harm, including by using a precision munition, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
