A group of Hamas operatives at a school in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis were targeted in an airstrike, the military says.

According to the IDF, the al-Hasna school was being used by Hamas as a command center where operatives “planned, directed and carried out many attacks” against Israeli forces in the Strip.

The operatives were hit by fighter jets and drones.

The IDF says that the strike was “carefully planned and carried out,” and it used precision munitions to mitigate harm to civilians.
