The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives at a command room embedded within a former school in the northern Gaza Strip a short while ago.

According to the military, Hamas was using the Ghazi Al-Shawa School in Beit Hanoun as a hideout and to prepare rocket attacks in recent weeks.

The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, according to Palestinian media.

The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
