At least 30 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a school in central Gaza on Saturday and dozens more were wounded, according to Palestinian health ministry officials.
The Israel Defense Forces said the attack targeted a “Hamas command and control center inside the Khadija school compound in central Gaza,” according to a statement on Telegram. The IDF said the area was being used as a “hiding place” to plan attacks on Israeli troops and as a weapons storage area.
The Israeli military also said it alerted civilians to the strike plans in order to mitigate risk to them.
