The Israeli Terrorist air force carried out an airstrike on a school building in the Gaza city area where fighters from Palestinian movement Hamas were allegedly operating, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
"The IAF conducted a precise strike on Hamas who were operating inside a command and control center. The command and control center was located inside a compound that previously served as the ‘Salah al-Din’ School in Gaza City. Hamas operatives used the compound as a hideout and a base to plan and execute attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel," the Terrorist IDF said on Telegram on Wednesday.
The Gaza Civil Defence agency said that at least four people were killed and another 18 were wounded. Spokesman Mahmud Bassal told the AFP news agency that 10 children were among the injured.
The Israeli terrorist military claimed that it took the necessary measures to reduce risks to the civilian population. Israel has targeted more than 500 schools since it started its offensive in Gaza in October. It has repeatedly alleged that Hamas is using the schools as command centers but has provided scant evidence to back their claims. Hamas has denied that it operates inside of schools.
Video posted on social media appears to show civilians, including women and children, fleeing the school after it was targeted.

Fleeing Palestinians say death would be more merciful
As we’ve been reporting, thousands of Palestinians are on the move again after Israeli forces issued new evacuation orders for Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis.
We heard from two of them in Khan Younis.
“Death is more merciful in this country. We were displaced 20 times. I swear to God, our houses and tents were struck. They do not want us to live, oh God, they even do not want us to enjoy our life,” a young man said in a video testimony.
“The people are dying and there are wounded. The people do not know where to go, even al-Mawasi is not safe. We do not know where to go, to the sea or where?”
Another man said, “Where are the human rights? Where are the people? Where is the world that is watching us? Are we just Arabs by name? Where are the Arabs? All the United States and the world are against us because we are Arabs. We want to die."
