A group of Hamas operatives gathered at a United Nations-run school in the central Gaza Strip was struck by fighter jets earlier today, the military says.
According to health officials in Gaza, five people were killed in the strike on the Al-Razi School in Nuseirat.
The IDF says the terror operatives were using the school to plan and carry out attacks against troops operating in Gaza.
The IDF says it took several steps to mitigate harm to civilians, including aerial surveillance and using “precision munitions.”
Separately, the IDF says it carried out a drone strike on a company commander in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s naval force, in western Khan Younis.
According to Hamas health officials, 17 people were killed and another 26 were wounded in the strike, which hit a fuel station.
The IDF says it is “looking into the reports stating that several civilians were injured as a result of the strike.”
