IDF hits Hamas arsenal in Gaza, destroys three weapons depots

The IDF and the ISA on Wednesday struck in three areas across the Gaza Strip and dismantled three Hamas weapons storage facilities. Hamas stored weapons, explosive devices, anti-tank missiles, and additional military equipment inside the facilities. "Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the issuing of advance warnings, the use of precise munitions, and aerial surveillance," the IDF stressed. Hamas' attempts to regain military capacity directly contradicts the ceasefire agreement the terror group signed. It also prevents the implementation of the second stage of the US plan for rebuilding Gaza, which requires Hamas to disarm.
