Overnight, the IDF says, it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives at a command center embedded within a former school in Gaza City.
According to the military, the Hamas operatives were using the Musa Bin Nusair school to plan and carry out attacks on troops in Gaza and against Israel.
The school was serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, and Palestinian medics report at least six dead in the strike.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using a precision munition, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
