In the heart of a school in Daraj Tufah, the IAF struck Hamas operatives at a command and control center established at the former Musa Ibn Nusayr School. According to data from the IDF Spokesperson, the site in its new capacity served Hamas operatives for planning and executing terror operations against Israeli soldiers and the State of Israel.
The IDF emphasized that prior to the strike, “numerous measures were taken to minimize the risk of harm to civilians,” including the use of precise munitions, aerial reconnaissance, and the collection of intelligence from various sources.
Using Human Shields as a Method to Accuse Israel of Genocide
The use of the school as a Hamas base represents yet another in a series of grave violations of international law. For the IDF, such strikes are made significantly more complex due to the terror organization’s deliberate use of civilian populations as human shields—a combat tactic aimed at causing harm to uninvolved civilians and placing the blame on Israel.
The IDF Spokesperson’s announcement underscores Israel’s commitment to targeting only Hamas operatives while minimizing harm to civilian populations. This comes against the backdrop of ongoing international accusations of alleged war crimes by Israel in Gaza. However, the facts consistently demonstrate that Hamas bears responsibility for civilian casualties, intentionally creating such outcomes to further its own objectives.
