"A short while ago, with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on Hamas terrorists who were operating inside command and control centers embedded within the 'Shuhada al-Aqsa' Hospital in the area of Deir al-Balah," the IDF said in a statement on Telegram.
The IDF added that the command centers had allegedly been used by Hamas fighters to plan and carry out attacks on the Israeli military and Israel.
The military said that measures had been taken to reduce the risk of harm to civilians before the strike.
The IDF already struck the same hospital a day ago.
On Monday morning, the IDF issued another statement on an attack on Hamas facilities in Gaza.
"Overnight, the IAF and IDF artillery struck targets in the central Gaza Strip that posed a threat to IDF troops operating in the area," the statement said, adding that the Israel air force struck Hamas launching sites and underground infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip a short while ago.
On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, Hamas fighters infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians, and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid.
The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, since October 7, 2023, the death toll has exceeded 41,870, and more than 97,100 people have been injured.
