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.
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.
It killed 22 people, including 13 children and six women, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
The school, closed during the war, had been housing displaced people, the health ministry said.
