The attack on the "Al-Tabeen" school complex, which according to the IDF served as a Hamas military headquarters, was carried out using three small missiles – incapable of causing the extensive damage claimed by the terrorist organization. IDF sources reported the strike targeted the lower men's floor of the mosque located within the complex after it was confirmed that terrorists, who had been under surveillance for several weeks, were present there. Additionally, IDF ensured there were no women or children nearby before carrying out the attack.
