The Israel Air Force (IAF) struck a number of terrorists who were operating in the area of UNRWA's Abu Oraiban School building in Nuseirat, the military said on Sunday. 

The strike was conducted based on IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), working in coordination with the IAF.

The location, according to reports, served as a hideout and operational infrastructure from which attacks against IDF soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip were directed and carried out.
