From IDF targets Gaza school compound where Hamas operatives were planning attacks
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives operating from a former school in the northern Gaza Strip a short while ago.
According to the military, Hamas was using the al-Faluja School compound in Jabaliya to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops and against Israel.
The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans, and Palestinian media report several casualties 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.
