The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives operating out of a former school in the northern Gaza Strip a short while ago.

According to the military, Hamas was using the Khalifa Ben Zayed School to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops and against Israel.

The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
