The IDF says an airstrike earlier this evening in the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the southern Gaza Strip targeted several senior Hamas commanders.
According to Palestinian media, more than 20 people were killed in the strike in the Khan Younis area.
The military says that the senior Hamas commanders were "engaged in terror activity in the humanitarian zone in Khan Younis."
Following the strike, the IDF says it identified secondary blasts, indicating the presence of weapons in the area. Palestinian media publish footage purportedly showing the strike.
The IDF says it took numerous steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including by using a precision munition, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.
"This is a further example of Hamas' cynical exploitation of the civilian population and infrastructure as human shields for terrorist activity. The IDF will continue to operate against terrorist organizations that use the humanitarian area as cover," the army adds.
