The IDF struck using a combat aircraft of the Air Force, guided by intelligence information from the Intelligence Corps, the Shin Bet, and the Southern Command, targeting terrorists operating in the “Dalal” school compound in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza City. The compound was used by the Hamas terrorist organization as a hideout for terrorists and commanders within the organization. Terrorist acts against the State of Israel were planned in this compound.
Before the strike, numerous measures were taken to minimize the chance of harming civilians, including the use of precision munitions and additional intelligence information.
The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law, ruthlessly exploiting civilian institutions and the population as human shields for terrorist activities.
