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 Umm al-Fahm School in Beit Lahiya to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops and against Israel.
The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Palestinians.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
