The terrorists continue to hide where they know Israel has to attack but will also kill civilians. This is the nature of these low life terrorists.
The Israeli air force conducted a strike on a Hamas command center located within the Khadija school in the Deir al Balah neighborhood of central Gaza, as announced by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday. The military reported that Hamas militants used the school as a base for planning attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.

According to the IDF, the site also served as a storage and development facility for a substantial arsenal of weapons. In preparation for the operation, the IDF emphasized that they took multiple precautions to protect Palestinian civilians, including using precise munitions and gathering intelligence through aerial surveillance.
“This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic violation of international law and exploitation of civilian structures and population as human shields for its attacks against the State of Israel,” the IDF stated.
The strike resulted in significant casualties, with at least 30 Palestinians reported killed and over 100 wounded, according to officials from the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry. The ministry claimed that the strike targeted the schoolyard and a medical point, leading to the deaths of many displaced individuals, including children and women. Hamas condemned the attack, describing it as a “heinous massacre” and accusing Israel of violating international laws designed to protect civilians.

This incident highlights ongoing concerns about Hamas’s use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, a tactic documented throughout the conflict that began on October 7, when Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel, resulting in over 1,200 deaths and 253 kidnappings. The IDF has previously uncovered weapon caches in civilian areas, including a UNRWA school complex in southern Gaza, which housed a mosque and a medical clinic. During an operation at this site, an explosion from a concealed tunnel killed three Israeli soldiers.
In another incident in June, the IDF identified 17 militants killed during a strike on an UNRWA school in Nusierat, where Hamas was again accused of using civilian structures as shields.
