The Israeli army said the site served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders and that 'numerous steps' were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.
More than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a Gaza school sheltering displaced people, the official Palestinian news agency said on Saturday, while the Israeli army said it had hit a Hamas command centre. "The Israeli strikes targeted the displaced people while performing Fajr prayers, a matter led to a rapid increase in the number of casualties," the Gaza government media office said in a statement.
The far-right minister also labelled a proposed deal for a ceasefire a "dangerous trap" and said that any deal to end the war in the Gaza Strip before Hamas had been destroyed would allow Hamas to regroup and murder Jewish people. Those statements were "outrageous and absurd" and would jeopardise Israel's security, according to US White House National Security spokesman John Kirby.
