The Israeli military conducted a strike on a school in central Gaza, targeting a Hamas command center that was being used to plan and execute terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel. The Israel Defense Forces stated that the command and control center was embedded inside a compound that previously served as the 'Shuhada' al-Nuseirat school.
The attack resulted in the death of at least 17 people and left 42 others wounded, according to officials from Al-Awda Hospital. The Israeli military defended its actions, stating that the strike was necessary to prevent further attacks on IDF troops and to protect the security of Israel.
The incident has sparked condemnation from various international organizations and calls for an investigation into the targeting of a school facility. The United Nations has expressed concern over the civilian casualties and called for all parties to respect international humanitarian law.
Hamas, the militant group controlling Gaza, has vowed retaliation for the Israeli strike on the school. Tensions in the region remain high as both sides continue to engage in hostilities, further escalating the conflict.
The situation in Gaza continues to be volatile, with civilians caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The international community is closely monitoring the developments and calling for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
