The Israeli military says it carried out a strike a short while ago against a Hamas command center embedded within a school-turned shelter in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah.
According to Palestinian media, at least four people were killed in the strike on the Al-Aishiya school.
The IDF says that the command center was being used by Hamas operatives to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israeli civilians.
The military says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm, including by using a precision munition, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
