Israel says Hamas targeted in deadly Gaza school attack
Stockholm, October 1 (Hibya) - The Israeli army said Hamas militants were the target of a deadly Israeli attack on a school in northern Gaza overnight, CNN reported.
At least seven people were killed and scores were injured in the attack on the Al-Shujaiya school, which houses displaced civilians east of Gaza City, according to the Palestine Civil Defense.
The Israeli army said on Tuesday that a Hamas command and control centre was "located inside a compound that previously served as the 'Shujaiya' UNRWA School."
"A number of steps were taken before the attack to reduce the risk of harm to civilians," it said.
CNN has not been able to independently verify the Israeli army's claim that Hamas was operating at the school.
