The Israeli military defended its strike over the weekend against a school in a Gaza City mosque, one serving as a shelter but which Israel says was also used as a command post by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

The Iran-backed Islamist groups decried the Aug. 10 attack, one the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said used “precise munitions,” for a death toll they’ve variously reported as 60, 80, 90, or 100 people.
