The military says it carried out a drone strike overnight against a Hamas compound in central Gaza’s Bureij, based out of a United Nations school.
According to the IDF, several Hamas operatives were gathered at UNRWA’s Abu Alhilu school when the strike was carried out.
It says the strike was “carefully planned and carried out using precise munitions, while avoiding harm to uninvolved [civilians] as much as possible.”
The compound at the school was used by Hamas to plan attacks against troops operating in the Strip, according to the IDF.
Another 65 targets were hit in airstrikes across Gaza over the past day, the military says. The IDF says the sites include buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots, rocket launch positions, observation posts, other infrastructure and cells of gunmen.
The strikes come as troops continue to operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah and in the Netzarim Corridor in the central part of the Strip.
The IDF says troops operating in Rafah located several “significant” tunnel shafts and caches of weapons over the past day.
