The IDF earlier struck Hamas operatives at a command and control center in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip. The IDF spokesperson announced that the operatives were using the facility to plan and execute terrorist operations. Additionally, it was emphasized that 'before the strike, measures were taken to minimize the risk to civilians, including the use of precision munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence information.' The IDF spokesperson's statement was issued following Palestinian reports claiming the strike targeted a school.
