The IDF spokesperson said today (Tuesday) that, in cooperation with the Shin Bet, five weapons depots and a Hamas launch site were struck and destroyed yesterday across the Gaza Strip.

The depots that were struck contained rockets, weapons, explosive devices, grenades, and additional combat equipment used by Hamas terrorists to advance terrorist attacks against IDF forces in the Strip. The depots that were struck were set up inside mosques and alongside humanitarian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

According to the IDF, "This is another example of Hamas's cynical use of civilian infrastructure, including mosques and humanitarian infrastructure, in violation of international law and through the cynical exploitation of the civilian population. The strikes in the Gaza Strip constitute a clear warning. The IDF and Shin Bet will not accept terrorist activity of any kind directed at the citizens of the State of Israel, and will continue to act decisively against every threat and take the necessary measures to safeguard the security of Israel's citizens."
