The Israeli military announced that it had carried out an airstrike on the Chadijah school in Deir al-Balah in order to destroy a Hamas command center located there. Islamist Hamas fighters had used the building to coordinate attacks on Israeli troops and hide weapons. Hamas systematically uses civilian objects for its own purposes and abuses civilians as shields. This information could not be independently verified either.
The Gaza war was triggered by the unprecedented massacre of more than 1,200 people killed by terrorists from Hamas and other groups in Israel on October 7 last year.
