Many terrorists who hid inside the schools were identified as operatives of Hamas and Islamic Jihad and were brought in for questioning. Some of the terrorists that were brought in for questioning took part in the October 7th massacre.
"This is further evidence of Hamas’ use of the civilian population and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as human shields for its terrorist activity," the IDF said in a statement.
