A Palestinian man was killed in an Israeli strike near a school in Gaza City, Hamas-affiliated media in the Strip report.

The drone strike near Dar al-Arqam school in the city’s Al-Tuffah neighborhood killed Majid al-Subagh, according to Palestinian media reports.

The area of the school has been targeted by Israel in the past, with the IDF previously saying the site was being used for Hamas activity.

The IDF tells The Times of Israel that it struck a terror operative in the area, and the results are under review.
