At least 28 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a school in Deir┬аal-Balah┬аin central Gaza Thursday morning, says the Gaza Ministry of Health.
The strike hit Rufaida School, which is sheltering displaced people. The Israel Defence Forces said it targeted Hamas militants who were operating in the compound.
“Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance┬аand additional intelligence,” the military said.
At least 54 people were injured in the attack, according to the Health Ministry.
