The military tells AFP that a strike on a residential building in Gaza City’s Shejaiya “struck a senior Hamas terrorist who was responsible for planning and executing terrorist attacks” from the area.
It does not give the target’s name, while accusing Hamas of using “human shields.”
Hamas authorities in Gaza say 23 people were killed in the strike, without differentiating between combatants and civilians.
