Two buildings used by Hamas in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, close to a school used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians, were struck by Israeli fighter jets earlier today, the IDF says.
The military says the buildings were used by Hamas operatives for various attacks and to manufacture weapons.
The IDF denies some Palestinian reports that the strike targeted a fuel facility in the area, near the Dar al-Arqam School.
The Hamas-run civil defense reports five dead in the strike.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
