The Israeli military and Shin Bet security agency say they have now verified the deaths of 31 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives in Saturday’s airstrike on a school in Gaza City, writes The Times Of Israel.
Hours after the strike, the IDF named 19 Palestinians it said were terror operatives killed in the attack against an “active” Hamas and Islamic Jihad command room, based out of a mosque in the al-Taba’een school complex, in Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood.
The IDF now releases the names and pictures of another 12 Palestinians it says were killed in the strike and were terror operatives.
More than 100 people were killed in the strike, according to Hamas authorities. The IDF expressed heavy skepticism over the claim, saying the numbers appeared to have been inflated.
