The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted an airstrike on a Hamas control center located within a school in Gaza City on Sunday. The IDF stated that the target was a command and control center used by Hamas terrorists to plan and execute attacks against the IDF and Israel. The center was embedded in the former 'Safad' school premises in Gaza City.
Prior to the strike, the IDF emphasized that multiple precautions were taken to minimize the risk of civilian casualties. The IDF's action was a response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with tensions escalating in the region.
According to the health ministry in Gaza, more than 40,000 Palestinians have lost their lives since the outbreak of the conflict. The situation remains volatile, with both sides engaged in military operations and facing international scrutiny over civilian casualties.
The IDF's targeting of the Hamas control center underscores the complex nature of the conflict in the region, with civilian infrastructure being used for military purposes. The IDF maintains that its operations are aimed at neutralizing threats posed by Hamas while minimizing harm to non-combatants.
The international community continues to call for a de-escalation of hostilities and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Efforts are underway to provide humanitarian aid to those affected by the violence and to facilitate dialogue between the conflicting parties.
