A Hamas command center in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah was targeted in an airstrike a short while ago, the IDF and Shin Bet say.

Palestinian media report that the strike hit the Deir al-Balah municipality building and that at least three people were killed.

According to the military, numerous Hamas operatives were at the site when it was struck.

The IDF and Shin Bet say Hamas operatives used the compound to carry out attacks against troops and Israel and were planning additional attacks.
