Over 20 Gazans said killed in IDF strike targeting Hamas command center inside school
An Israeli strike on a school in northern Gaza on Saturday killed at least 22 people, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health Ministry, while the Israel Defense Forces says it targeted a Hamas command center in what used to be a school.
The IDF said earlier today that it struck Hamas’s “command and control center, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served” as a school. It said steps were taken to limit harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
“The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law by operating from inside civilian infrastructure,” the army said.
