The Israeli military (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency jointly targeted and destroyed three weapons depots belonging to Hamas's military wing in the Gaza Strip last Thursday. According to the IDF, the depots contained dozens of weapons and munitions, including RPG launchers, rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, and other military equipment used by the terrorist organization. The IDF stated that these facilities were used by Hamas to store its arsenal.
This operation comes as a Hamas internal document, dated April 2024, was recently revealed. The document reportedly outlines proposals from Hamas's engineering department to plant explosives around refugee camps and detonate them as IDF forces approach. The stated aim was to create panic as a smokescreen for the escape of Hamas operatives, while endangering the civilian population in the camps.
Further proposals in the document included planting explosives along routes that Gaza residents might use, intended to impede IDF advances. It also suggested firing sonic bombs in the camps to generate chaos and allow Hamas militants to flee. Israeli defense officials commented that this demonstrates Hamas's willingness to endanger civilians to advance its terror activities.
