After an investigation that took place over the past hour it has been found that amongst the dead at the Jabalya school were Hamas terror operatives and a mortar battery cell who were firing on IDF forces in the area. Hamas operatives Imad Abu Askhar and Hassan Abu Askhar were amongst terrorists that were identified as killed. 
 
We face a very delicate situation where the Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as a protective vest, said IDF Spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Avi Benayahu, following the incident.
