Across the Gaza Strip: The IDF and Shin Bet said Wednesday morning that they carried out targeted strikes yesterday in several areas throughout Gaza. According to the announcement, three weapons depots belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad were destroyed. In addition, a rocket launch pit from which rockets were fired toward Israeli territory during the war was destroyed.
According to the IDF, the terrorist organizations stored dozens of weapons of various types inside the depots, including rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, and additional combat equipment.
The IDF also identified that, in recent months, Hamas operatives have been arriving at the depots and using the weapons inside them to carry out guard duties and reinforce their control of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF Spokesperson added: "The IDF will continue to act decisively to degrade the capabilities of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip and to thwart any attempt to rebuild them or possess weapons intended to harm our forces. IDF forces under Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to remove any immediate threat."
