The IDF and Shin Bet have reported that the Israeli Air Force conducted a strike on the operational headquarters of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad.
The headquarters were situated in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital in the Deir al Balah area, located at the center of the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, the targets of the strike were the commander of this Islamic Jihad headquarters and the terrorists present at the site. The strike was carried out with precision to minimize collateral damage.
The IDF confirmed that Al-Aqsa Hospital was not harmed during the attack.
"The presence of terrorists in the hospital courtyard is further evidence of the systematic exploitation of humanitarian and medical facilities by terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip for their nefarious activities," stated the IDF and Shin Bet in a joint statement.
