The IDF destroyed in an overnight strike in the Gaza Strip Thursday an UNRWA school that was used as a hideout by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. 

According to intelligence gathered, the building – located in the Nuseirat refugee camp – was used by Nukhba terrorists who perpetrated atrocities on Oct. 7.

"A short while ago, fighter jets… conducted a precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded inside a UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat," the IDF said in a statement, adding that the terrorists "directed terror attacks from the area of the school while exploiting it as a civilian location and as shelter." 

Several terrorists were eliminated in the strike. 

"The strike eliminated terrorists who had planned to carry out terror attacks and advance imminent terror schemes against our forces," the military statement said, adding that "many steps were taken before the strike to minimize the risk of harm to uninvolved people," including analyzing aerial footage and using precise intelligence.

UNRWA has faced harsh criticism, and several countries have withdrawn funding from the agency after revelations that some of the terrorists who participated in the deadly onslaught were employees of the agency, and its infrastructure in Gaza was used for terrorist purposes.
