Palestinians say 8 killed in strike that targeted Hamas command center in Gaza school

At least 8 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a school in Gaza city, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency WAFA reports.

The IDF earlier said in a statement it had “conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center… embedded inside a compound that previously served as the ‘Halima al-Sa’diyya’ School in the northern Gaza Strip.”

The Israeli army said in a statement it had “conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control centre… embedded inside a compound that previously served as the Halima al-Sadia School in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Wafa says the dead were in refugee tents inside the former school.

In a separate incident, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, WAFA says.

There is no immediate army comment on that incident.
