The Israel Air Force struck Hamas terrorists operating in a command and control center embedded in what had previously been the UNRWA “Sheikh Jamil School” in Khan Yunis on Sunday, the military said on Monday morning.
The school, also dubbed the “Ahmed Abdul Aziz School,” was located within the Khan Yunis Humanitarian Zone in southern Gaza, the IDF added.
The military further noted that the terrorists had planned to carry out terror activities against IDF troops and the State of Israel from within the training compound in the area.
Terrorists exploit civilian infrastructure
Before the strike, the IDF implemented extensive precautions to minimize civilian harm, including the use of aerial surveillance, intelligence, and precision munitions, the military said.
“The terrorists operated from a structure that previously served as a school, which is yet another example of how the terrorist organization systematically operates within civilian population,” the IDF stated.
“The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip systematically violate international law, exploiting civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as human shields for terrorist activity,” it added.
