Joint IDF and ISA announcement: Hamas Weapon Storage Facilities Located Inside Mosques and Alongside Humanitarian Infrastructure Yesterday (Monday), the IDF and ISA struck and dismantled five Hamas weapon storage facilities and a Hamas launch site in several strikes across the Gaza Strip. In the facilities, Hamas stored rockets, weapons, explosive devices, grenades, ammunition, and additional military equipment in order to advance terror attacks against IDF troops in the Gaza Strip. These storage facilities were established inside mosques and alongside humanitarian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. This is another example of Hamas’ systematic exploitation of the civilian population and infrastructure, including mosques and humanitarian infrastructure, in violation of international law. It should be emphasized that prior to all the strikes, advance warnings were issued to the population in order to mitigate harm to civilians. Additional precautions included the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance. These strikes in the Gaza Strip serve as a clear warning: The IDF and ISA will not tolerate terrorist activity of any kind against Israeli civilians, and will continue to act with determination against any threat and take the necessary measures to safeguard the security of Israeli civilians. Security forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire framework and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
