“This facility was a critical node in Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure,” the IDF said in an official statement. “Operatives were using the location to orchestrate ongoing hostilities against Israeli targets.”

Palestinian media outlets have reported that at least four individuals were killed in the strike, although it remains unclear whether the casualties were combatants or civilians sheltering at the site.

The Israeli military stated that it employed a precision-guided munition in the strike and conducted extensive aerial surveillance and intelligence-gathering beforehand in an effort to minimize collateral damage.
