An Israeli airstrike on a school compound in northern Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least four individuals, as reported by Gaza Civil Defense. The strike, which targeted the Umm al-Fahm school in Beit Lahia, also left a number of people injured, with casualties being transported to Kamal Adwan Hospital for treatment.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the airstrike was carried out due to Hamas establishing a 'command and control center embedded inside a compound that previously served as the Umm al-Fahm School.' The IDF emphasized that precautions were taken to minimize civilian casualties.
