(Ynet News) Yael Ciechanover - The IDF disclosed the identities of nine terrorists eliminated Thursday at an UNRWA school in Nuseirat in central Gaza, after Palestinian claims that scores of civilians were killed in the incident. Military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that the IDF is continuing efforts to identify additional terrorists killed in the attack and condemned global media for echoing Hamas's claims of civilian casualties "before checking the facts." "Our Air Force used precise munitions to target the three specific classrooms that the terrorists were hiding in....We stopped a ticking time bomb. We delayed our strike twice because we identified civilians in the area....We conducted the strike once our intelligence and surveillance indicated that there were no women or children inside the Hamas compound, inside those classrooms." He added the attack targeted "Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, some from the Nukhba force. Terrorists with blood on their hands....Some of them took part in the brutal massacre of October 7."
