A Hamas command and control center embedded within a school in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah was struck by Israeli fighter jets a short while ago, the IDF says.
The Hamas-run media office in Gaza claims that 31 people were killed in the attack.
According to the IDF, the strike killed Hamas operatives hiding within the United Nations school being used as shelter for displaced Palestinians.
The military says that the command room was used by Hamas operatives to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops in Gaza and against Israel.
Additionally, the IDF says the site was used to develop and store weaponry.
To mitigate harm to civilians, the IDF says it carried out “many steps,” including using a “munition adapted to the type of strike,” aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
“This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic violation of international law and exploitation of civilian structures and population as human shields for its attacks against the State of Israel,” the military says in a statement.
In recent weeks, more than 50 airstrikes have been carried out against Hamas sites embedded within schools and other sites used as shelters for civilians, according to the IDF.
FR allahu akhbar chorus deeply saddened.
Another 31 innocent women and children put to death by those bloodthirsty Israelis.
The civilians being protected were Hamas. Wives and children are guilty and can not be considered as “innocents”
Did the IDF use the microwave weapon? Did any heads explode?
Israel gets this, WE (the former USA) do not. War is not pleasant, but ROE is B.S., and you can't engage an enemy by "humanitarian" means....
Good on you, IDF.
</ sarc>?
Those 31 “innocent” women and children support Hamas
31 was the total count. There was no breakout of soldiers v civilians.
I think you forgot your sarcasm tag.
It reminds me of the time I asked dad, “...did you meet any French people while going through there to the Rhine?”
He said: “We had strict orders not to speak to them or approach them. With so much danger and destruction there, any remaining ‘civilians’ were certainly up to no good. Any actual 'citizens' concerned for their safety would be long gone.”
Golda Meir said there would be peace when palistinians loved their children more than they hate Jews.
How the HELL do you know there were women and children? The info is from HAMAS an Islamic terror group. In any case who says they were “innocent”? Support for Hamas is a legitimate death sentence. Terrorists were hit. They hid among civilians. Any dead civvies are their responsibilty.
Get some Joos!
Hamas strikes Israel - kills 1500 innocent people.
It was sarcasm. It’s hard for me to believe anyone missed it.
My first thought was sarcasm but we do have some here on the board who are of an opposite thought. I did look for an /s so wasn’t sure till your response.
The shocking images of women and children cheering and desecrating the body of Shani Louk as he remains are trucked through the city like a parade float. There are no innocents; if there are, let God sort them out.
Mia Schem, a former hostage, said, "There are no innocent civilians." https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/israel-posts-video-saying-are-no-innocent-civilians-gaza-rcna157111.
CNN almost sounds like an apologist for HAMAS and Gazans. Oops, did I say almost? https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/19/middleeast/gaza-neighborhood-israeli-hostages-intl-cmd/index.html.
If you are a Jew and you are shocked by the anti-semitism on display in this country, you are a fool. It has always been there. Silent and deadly like a cancer growing and being fed by Universities and the influx of Islamic immigrants. American Jews have spent decades helping it survive. Democrat (leaders) are racists and antisemitic. Jews in the party leadership are the Judenrate of their generation. What you saw in Gazan could happen in New York City and other Democrat enclaves. As one Muslim friend told me, they do not send their best and brightest as refugees into the United States.
Sorry for the spelling errors, in a rush, Mrs. GOAT is tapping her foot by the door.😀
30 dead, 100 injured in IDF strike on Hamas command center
July 27 (UPI) — Israel Defense Forces reportedly killed 30 and injured 100 when the IDF launched an airstrike Saturday against a Hamas command center inside a school compound in central Gaza.
The IDF earlier issued evacuation orders in Khan Younis in advance of a new offensive against Hamas militants there.
Residents of the southern neighborhoods in Khan Younis were warned to leave, but Hamas does not allow civilians to use its tunnel network throughout Gaza to evacuate or seek shelter.
