IDF: A short while ago, with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center in the area of Nuseirat in central Gaza. The command and control center, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served as the Al Jaouni School, was used by Hamas terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence.
This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure in violation of international law. The IDF will continue to operate against Hamas in defense of the citizens of Israel.

Attached is a quote of the Commanding Officer of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar: Last night, during a life-saving operation for a critically wounded soldier from the Gaza Strip, we lost two of our finest reserve soldiers in the crash of a “Yanshuf” helicopter from the 123rd Squadron during the landing phase. Additionally, eight soldiers were injured, some critically. After touring the crash site and visiting the injured at the Soroka Medical Center, we embrace the families of the fallen soldiers and will continue to support the injured.
This was an operational accident, where the “Yanshuf” helicopter crashed during the most vital mission of evacuating the wounded. In the heroic rescue mission on the ground, troops of the 162nd Division acted with determination to save lives.
During the 11 months of the war, the Air Force has evacuated over 1,800 wounded, including evacuations from deep within the Gaza Strip under significant life-threatening conditions. The mission of saving lives continues. The Israeli Air Force mourns its soldiers but presses on, continuing its missions across all operational arenas. Even now, the “Yanshuf” helicopter is on standby for rescue operations. As Unit 669 says, ‘Call upon me in times of trouble, I will be there for you and rescue you’ — every day, including today.
This morning, an investigative committee was appointed to investigate the details of the crash. I am proud of the Israeli Air Force, its missions, and its achievements. I fully support all the squadron’s soldiers and the soldiers of the Rescue Unit. We mourn the loss and continue operating.”
