In a recent operation, Israeli fighter jets targeted a Hamas stronghold located within a United Nations school in Nuseirat, central Gaza. The strike, orchestrated by IDF intelligence and the Israel Security Agency, aimed at Hamas and Islamic Jihad members, including those involved in the deadly October 7 attacks in southern Israel.
The airstrike resulted in 39 fatalities, according to Palestinian reports, amid claims that the school served as a shelter for displaced civilians. The IDF asserted measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties, including extensive aerial surveillance and intelligence gathering.
Hamas condemned the strike, labeling it as an act of genocide and urging international intervention. The incident has intensified calls for a ceasefire and heightened scrutiny of military operations in densely populated areas.
This attack coincides with broader military actions by the IDF in the Gaza Strip, targeting multiple locations as part of ongoing efforts to neutralize militant threats. The situation remains volatile, with significant humanitarian concerns raised by various organizations operating in the region.
