An Israeli military operation targeted Hamas militants in a school in northern Gaza overnight, resulting in casualties and injuries. The strike occurred at the Al-Shujaiya School in the east of Gaza City, which was being used as a shelter for displaced civilians, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
The Israeli military stated that the attack was aimed at a Hamas command and control center that was reportedly located within the compound of the former 'Shejaiya' UNRWA School. The military emphasized that precautions were taken to minimize civilian casualties.
While the Israeli military claims that the school was being used by Hamas militants, this information has not been independently verified. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of civilians in conflict zones and the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes.
International organizations and human rights groups have called for a thorough investigation into the incident to determine the facts and ensure accountability for any violations of international law. The escalation of violence in Gaza underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestinian factions.
