The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives at a command room embedded within a former school in Gaza City in the past hour.
According to the military, Hamas was using the al-Falah School in the Zeitoun neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops and against Israel.
The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, and Palestinian media report at least 10 deaths in the strike.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
The IDF has repeatedly hit Hamas operatives operating out of schools, civilian shelters and hospitals, frequently drawing international condemnation.
