An Israel Air Force aircraft struck the Khan Yunis municipality building in the Gaza Strip during an overnight operation, the military said on Sunday.
The strike was carried out using intelligence information provided by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and the Southern Command.
Among other things, in the building was an operational shaft that was connected to an underground route that served as a meeting place for Hamas terrorists, the military noted.
Before the attack, the military carried out several steps to reduce potential harm to civilians, the IDF added.
