IDF says it carried out strikes on Hamas members operating out of former schools in northern Gaza
Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out targeted strikes against Hamas operatives at command rooms embedded in former schools in the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF says.
According to the military, Hamas was using command rooms in the Muscat and Rimal schools in the north of the enclave to “plan and carry out terrorist operations against the IDF and the State of Israel.”
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
