The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted an airstrike on a facility in Gaza City, targeting a Hamas command and control center located within the Al-Tabi'in School. According to Israeli sources, approximately 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad members were present in the facility during the attack. The IDF reported that the strike resulted in the deaths of at least 19 militants, asserting that the targeted room housed only terrorists, with no civilians present. The operation utilized three precise munitions, which the IDF claims could not have caused the extensive damage alleged by Hamas. The strike, which reportedly killed over 80 people, has sparked controversy, with some questioning the use of a school as a military hub.
