In a critical military operation, Israel's airforce announced on Tuesday that it struck a Hamas command and control centre located within a Gaza City school compound. The military emphasized that steps were taken to mitigate civilian casualties, including the deployment of precise munitions.
However, civil defence authorities in Gaza reported that at least 10 Palestinians lost their lives in the school compound, which housed displaced families. The incident underscores the ongoing tension and severe human cost of the conflict.
Hamas has firmly denied the Israeli allegations, maintaining that it does not use schools and hospitals for military purposes. This claim remains a point of contention as both sides continue to accuse each other of endangering civilian lives.
