Israel Defense Forces Destroy Hamas Weapons Depots in Gaza

The targeted depots contained dozens of weapons, including rockets, explosives, mortars, Kalashnikov rifles, and other combat equipment. The operation aimed to degrade the military capabilities of the terrorist groups and prevent them from rearming or launching attacks against Israeli forces and civilians.

Prior to the airstrikes, the IDF issued advance warnings to the civilian population to minimize the risk to non-combatants. The military also utilized precision munitions and aerial surveillance during the strikes.

According to Kikar HaShabbat, the operation followed a separate action on Wednesday, in which the IDF eliminated three Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists who were planning attacks and violating the ceasefire agreement. Southern Command forces remain deployed in the region to neutralize any immediate threats.
