The IDF confirms launching strikes at the European Hospital in southern Gaza, saying it targeted Hamas operatives at an underground command center below the medical center.
The military says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
“The Hamas terror organization continues to use hospitals in the Gaza Strip for terror purposes, cynically and cruelly exploiting the civilian population in and around the hospital,” the military adds.
