Around 6,000 people had been sheltering at the compound, he said. The Gaza health ministry has so far not provided casualty details. "The headquarters was used by the terrorists of the terrorist organisation Hamas to hide and from there they planned and promoted terrorist operations against the IDF forces and the citizens of the State of Israel," the IDF said."Before the attack, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and intelligence information.
A spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, urged Israel's ally Washington to put an end to the "blind support that leads to the killing of thousands of innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly."The air strike comes as the United States, which has sent extra warships and jets to the region to support Israel, has urged both Iran and Israel to avoid an escalation.
Mr Blinken said a ceasefire agreement could result in the release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas and "create the conditions for broader regional stability", the State Department said. In a joint statement on Thursday, the three countries' leaders invited the warring parties to resume talks on August 15 in Doha or Cairo "to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay".
More than 18 people were killed in Israeli strikes on two other schools in Gaza City only two days ago, Gazan authorities said, with Israeli authorities claiming to have struck Hamas militants.
