The IDF also eliminated terrorists operating inside a Hamas command and control center in the compound of the former 'Umm al-Fahm' School in northern Gaza.
The military added that prior to the strike, it had taken steps to avoid harming civilians, including the use of precise ammunition and intelligence information.
Civil defence rescuers in Gaza said an Israeli strike Thursday on a school-turned-shelter killed at least seven people, with the Israeli military saying it had targeted a Hamas command centre.
