An Israeli air strike that killed multiple children at a former school twelve days ago had been targeting one local Hamas figure, the BBC has been told.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a Hamas “command and control centre” had been embedded inside the compound in Gaza City, which it targeted in a “precise strike” on 21 September.<\/p>\n

It killed 22 people, including 13 children and six women, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.<\/p>\n

The school, closed during the war, had been housing displaced people, the health ministry said.<\/p>\n

One young girl, Amal, told the BBC she had been inside the school building when it was hit and saw bodies \u201ctorn apart\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat have we done as children? We wake up and go to sleep terrified,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least protect the schools; we don\u2019t have schools or homes – where do we go?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources have told the BBC that one of those killed was a local Hamas figure, meaning many civilians died due to a single main target.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
