The IDF struck in the central Gaza Strip overnight Friday, dismantling three Hamas weapons storage facilities containing launchers, mortar shells, RPGs, explosive devices, firearms, and other military equipment, the military said. The weapons were intended for use against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. The military stated that steps to mitigate civilian harm were taken, including precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
The IDF reported on Friday afternoon that troops under the Southern Command struck three Hamas weapons storage facilities in the central Gaza Strip during the night. The depots held launchers, mortar shells, RPGs, explosive devices, firearms, and other military equipment, which the military said were intended for attacks on IDF forces operating in the Yellow Line area and on Israeli civilians. The IDF said steps were taken to mitigate civilian harm, including precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
This strike follows a pattern of ongoing IDF operations in the central Gaza Strip under the ceasefire framework. As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 10, 01:23), the IDF struck Hamas targets in the same area with artillery fire. The latest operation targeted storage facilities rather than personnel, and no casualty figures have been released. The IDF statement emphasized that forces remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and continue to remove immediate threats.
