Israel carried out airstrikes on key Hamas terrorist figures and infrastructure in Gaza overnight Tuesday, including a senior terrorist in a former school in Daraj Tuffah used as a command and control center, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives in Khan Yunis and Deir al Balah were also targeted.

Over the past 24 hours, more than 50 terrorist targets were struck across Gaza, including weapon caches, underground infrastructure and Hamas military sites.

Precautions were taken to minimize civilian casualties, the IDF emphasized.
