At least seven people were killed and several wounded in an Israeli attack on a former school building in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources reported on Sunday.
According to medical sources, the general director of the Hamas-controlled Housing Ministry is among the dead.
The Israeli military (IDF) says it carried out a precision strike against terrorists, using the former school to carry out attacks.
“This is another example of the systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure by the Hamas terrorist organization, in violation of international law,” the IDF wrote on its Telegram channel. It said Israeli forces had taken a number of measures to reduce the danger to civilians, but “will continue to act against terrorist organizations that use schools and civilian institutions as shelters.”
The information from both sides could not be independently verified.
