Several dead – Israeli army: Terrorists hit at school

They directed and planned numerous attacks on soldiers in the Gaza Strip. Israel said that appropriate measures were taken to prevent harm to the civilian population. On this occasion, Hamas was again accused of using civilian facilities as bases or protective shields, in violation of international law.

Commander attacked
In addition, a commander of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) naval unit was reportedly attacked from the air. “We are investigating reports that several civilians were injured as a result of the attack,” the Israeli military said. The information could not initially be independently verified.

According to its own information, the army on Monday attacked 40 targets in the Gaza Strip from the air, including sniper and observation posts and Hamas military installations. “Over the past day, the forces have eliminated terrorists,” it said about the operation in Rafah.

Half of Hamas Eliminated?
The Israeli army reported that half of Hamas’ military leadership had been eliminated. Since the start of the operation, 14,000 fighters have been killed or captured. In total, almost 39,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war, and almost 90,000 have been wounded. This information does not distinguish between civilians and fighters.

According to Hamas, at least 49 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours, including in the airstrike on the school run by the aid agency UNRWA.
