IDF says it struck Hamas terrorists using school in Gaza; 9 reported dead
The IDF says it struck Hamas terrorists who were operating from a school in central Gaza, guided by pinpoint intelligence.
Hamas was using the school as a base to plan and to carry out “terror attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel,” says the military.
The IDF says that ahead of the strike, it carried out a number of steps “to limit the harm to civilians.”
The WAFA Palestinian news agency reports that at least nine Palestinians were killed and 20 injured in the strike on the school, where displaced people were sheltering.
