A group of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives gathered at a school in central Gaza’s Nuseirat were struck by Israeli fighter jets earlier this evening, the IDF says.
According to the military, the operatives were carrying out “terror activity” from within the school and “using it as a shield for terror.”
The IDF says it used precision munitions in the strike to mitigate harm to civilians.
