The IDF and ISA conducted precise strikes in the Shati and Deir al-Balah areas in the Gaza Strip on Monday to destroy two Hamas weapons storage facilities, containing dozens of Kalashnikov rifles, magazines, and additional military equipment.
These facilities, established inside two mosques in the Gaza Strip, were used by Hamas terrorists to conceal and store weapons.
Before the strikes, advance warnings were issued to the population to mitigate harm to civilians. Additional precautions included the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
The IDF condemned the use of the mosques as weapons storage facilities, calling it "another example of Hamas’ systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure, including mosques, in violation of international law, to advance and execute terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians."
