"The compound, and the mosque that was struck within it, served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility," Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said on X.

He added that casualty figures given by the Hamas-run media office "do not align with the information held by the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), the precise munitions used, and the accuracy of the strike."
