Jerusalem: The Israeli army announced on Monday that it had targeted and struck "several terrorists" in central Gaza who were allegedly using a school in the Nuseirat area as cover. "A short while ago, based on intelligence and using precise munition, the IAF struck several terrorists who were conducting terrorist activities, using the structures of a school in the area of Nuseirat as cover," the army stated, referring to the Israeli Air Force.

A source at the Al-Awda hospital in Nuseirat informed AFP that the hospital had received several wounded individuals for treatment following the attack on a school managed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).

The Israeli army accused Hamas and Islamic Jihad of systematically violating international law by exploiting civilian structures and populations as human shields for their terror attacks against Israel.

On Saturday, the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza reported that 16 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced individuals in Nuseirat. At the time, the Israeli army stated that its aircraft had targeted "terrorists" operating around the Al-Jawni school in Nuseirat, also run by UNRWA.

The conflict in Gaza has now entered its tenth month. The hostilities erupted following Hamas's attack on southern Israel on October 7, resulting in the deaths of 1,195 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures. The militants seized 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza, including 42 that the military believes are dead.

Israel responded with a military offensive that has resulted in the deaths of at least 38,193 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to data from Gaza's health ministry. 

The ongoing conflict continues to escalate, with significant humanitarian impacts on the civilian population in Gaza, as international observers and organizations call for measures to protect civilians and ensure compliance with international law.
