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 a short while ago.

According to the military, Hamas was using the Shuhada al-Zeitoun School to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel.

The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, and Palestinian media report several casualties in the attack.

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