The Israeli military says warplanes conducted a pinpoint strike a short while ago on terror operatives who were at a command center in a compound that formerly housed the Ibn Rushd school in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza strip.
Additionally, the IDF says another pinpoint airstrike targeted a second Hamas control center in Deir al-Balah, located in the former site of the Shuhada al-Aqsa mosque — where Hamas medical officials have claimed 5 were killed and 20 injured.
The command centers were used by Hamas to plan and carry out terror attacks against IDF forces and the State of Israel, the army says.
Both strikes were carried out at the direction of the Military Intelligence Directorate, and only after many steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including using accurate munitions, aerial visual intelligence and more intelligence information, the IDF adds.
