Israel accuses the Islamists of using civilian buildings for their own purposes. Once again, Hamas terrorist command centers are said to have been located in former school and mosque buildings.
The Israeli army says it has once again attacked command centers of the Islamist Hamas from the air in the embattled Gaza Strip. One was in the center of the sealed-off coastal strip in a building that used to be a school, it was said. Another command center was located in the same area in a building that previously served as a mosque. Arab reports said there were 15 dead and dozens injured in the area. Neither the Arab reports nor the army’s information could be independently verified.
Before the “precise” attacks, numerous measures were taken to reduce the danger to civilians, the army said. The attacked buildings were used to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against Israeli troops and the State of Israel. This is another example of the systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure by Hamas, which violates international law, it said.
