The IDF and Shin Bet announce that an airstrike the army conducted yesterday targeting a terror command center in north Gaza’s Jabaliya resulted in the killing of 12 fighters from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including several who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
“Large quantities of weapons were stored inside the command and control center, and it was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terror attacks against IDF troops and the citizens of the State of Israel,” the the joint statement says, adding that the site previously served as a medical compound.
Those killed also include a platoon commander in Hamas’s military intelligence unit, a deputy platoon commander in a Hamas anti-tank unit, a Hamas engineer operative and two platoon commanders in Hamas’s elite Nukhba force.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm ahead of the strike.
