The IDF and Shin Bet say an airstrike in northern Gaza’s Jabalia a short while ago targeted a group of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives at a command center used by the terror groups.
Palestinian media reports that the strike targeted Jabalia’s former police station, and that at least nine people were killed.
According to the IDF, the site was used by the terror operatives to plan and carry out attacks on Israeli civilians and troops.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including the use of a “precision munition, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.”
“The terror organizations systematically violate international law while taking over civilian infrastructure, and while brutally exploiting the civilian population as a human shield for its terror attacks,” the military adds.
