The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet conducted airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, destroying four weapons storage facilities belonging to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The IDF stated that the terrorist organizations had stored dozens of various weapons, including rockets, explosives, mortars, Kalashnikov rifles, and other combat equipment in these depots.
The strikes were aimed at degrading the capabilities of terrorist groups in Gaza and thwarting any attempts to rebuild their military strength or use weapons against IDF forces. Prior to the attacks, advance warnings were issued to the civilian population to minimize casualties, alongside the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
IDF forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area and will continue to operate to neutralize immediate threats. These operations follow a series of recent actions by the IDF in Gaza. On Wednesday, the IDF eliminated three terrorists from Hamas and PIJ who were advancing terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and systematically violating the ceasefire agreement.
These terrorists were killed in airstrikes in the Gaza City and Al-Furqan areas. Among those killed were Husam Walid Hassan Abu al-Ata, a PIJ commander, Magdi Maeen Yusef al-Ayoubi, a PIJ operative, and Muhammad Aja, a Hamas company commander. The IDF reported that these individuals had been working to restore the terrorist organizations' capabilities in the Strip and promote terror attacks against Israeli forces and citizens, in consistent violation of the ceasefire.
