Again, Israeli Army Attacks Hamas Command Centre In Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, early Monday said its air force attacked a command centre of the Palestinian militant organisation, Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF said the command centre was located in the Deir al Balah area in central Gaza embedded within the Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital.

In the same area, the army had earlier said that it attacked Hamas command centres that had been located in a former school and a former mosque.

The IDF said that numerous measures had been taken to reduce the risk to civilians before the “precise” attack.

According to the army, the command centres were used to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against Israeli soldiers and the state of Israel.

The IDF said this was another example of what it called the systematic misuse of the civilian infrastructure by Hamas, violating international law.

Recall that the conflict, which began exactly one year ago, started when fighters from the Palestinian Islamist Hamas militia and others invaded Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostage.

Israel retaliated with massive attacks that have resulted in what the Hamas-run health ministry says are more than 41,800 people killed.

Hamas does not distinguish between militant and civilian deaths.
