Earlier today, IAF fighter jets, guided by IDF intelligence and the ISA, executed a precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded within an UNRWA school in the Nuseirat area. The compound housed Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, including members of the Nukhba Forces who participated in the brutal October 7th attacks on southern Israeli communities.
These terrorists were using the school as a base to direct and plan further terrorist activities against IDF troops. Several operatives, who were in the process of planning imminent attacks, were eliminated in the strike. Extensive precautions, including aerial surveillance and additional intelligence gathering, were taken beforehand to minimize the risk to uninvolved civilians during the operation.
