The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet have confirmed the elimination of 31 terrorists in a recent airstrike on a Hamas command center located within the Al-Taba’een school compound in Gaza. Initially, the IDF reported 19 terrorists were killed, but further intelligence raised the number to 38, contradicting Hamas's earlier claims of civilian casualties. The airstrike targeted a facility where Hamas and Islamic Jihad members were allegedly planning attacks against Israel. The IDF's operation has been part of ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the region.
