(IsraelNN.com) Among the more than 20 Gaza targets bombed by the IDF over the course of Thursday night - the sixth night of the current anti-Hamas Cast Lead military offensive - was a mosque doubling as a Katyusha and Kassam rocket storehouse. 

The Hulfaa mosque in the northern Gaza rocket-launching center of Jabalya, four kilometers north of Gaza City, was used to store a large number of Grad-type Katyusha missiles, Kassam rockets and other weaponry and ammunition – as evidenced by the long series of secondary explosions and fire that followed the attack. 

Fifth Terror Mosque
This was at least the fifth mosque attacked by Israel during the course of the current offensive, signifying that Israel is no longer playing by the "protecting religious sites" rules that Hamas constantly violates.

Israel Air Force planes, guided by Shabak (General Security Service) intelligence, pinpointed the target with perfect accuracy.  The mosque also served as a rocket launching site, a Hamas terrorist meeting place, a staging ground for terror attacks and a communications center, according to the IDF.

Home of Ex-Hamas Gov't Minister Bombed
The IAF continued its offensive on Friday morning by bombing the homes of a top Hamas terrorist and a former Hamas government minister.  At least one of the homes camouflaged a tunnel under it and served as a storehouse for war materiel. Sources in Gaza reported that two people were killed in the bombing.  Tunnels and other sites were also bombed.

Among the other Hamas terrorist targets bombed over the night in Gaza was a small truck carrying anti-aircraft rockets, as well as mobile rocket launching pads ready for firing, sites for the manufacture and storage of weapons and ammunition, Hamas buildings and a tunnel used to transfer war materiel. 

The successful attacks followed Thursday’s IAF bombing of the Hamas Legislative Council and the Hamas justice department buildings in Gaza City.  Other targets on Thursday included at least six tunnels under the Philadelphi Route between Gaza and Egypt, a police station in Rafah, and a coastal security outpost near Gaza City.  The Israel Navy took part in Thursday’s attacks.

The IDF announced that it would continue to attack any target serving as a base for terror attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel.
