IDF fighter jets struck the lathe area on al-Sana'a Street in western Gaza City after issuing an evacuation warning, according to Abu Ali Express. The same location was hit earlier Sunday by an Israeli drone, killing four Gazans. No casualty figures from the latest strike are yet reported.
IDF fighter jets struck the lathe workshop district on al-Sana'a Street in western Gaza City on Sunday afternoon around 16:35 Jerusalem, following an evacuation warning issued earlier for the same location. The strike is the latest in a series of attacks on the site today, which began with an Israeli drone strike at approximately 14:07 Jerusalem that killed four people, according to Gazan sources via Abu Ali Express.
The sequence of events, as reported by The Zioneer throughout the afternoon, unfolded in rapid succession: at 14:07 Jerusalem, an Israeli drone struck the Beit Afana workshop with three missiles, causing casualties. Shortly after, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the same location. Reports then emerged that two operatives had been killed in the drone strike, before the death toll was revised to four. The IDF subsequently stated that it had struck a weapons production site in Gaza City. The latest fighter jet strike, which occurred after an evacuation warning, targeted the same area.
The IDF has used evacuation warnings in previous strikes in Gaza, as The Zioneer reported on June 23, when fighter jets struck three buildings in al-Atatra, al-Tuffah, and Sheikh Ajlin after issuing warnings. The ongoing operation in Gaza has included multiple strikes on infrastructure and personnel associated with Hamas and other armed groups.
No casualty figures have been reported from the latest fighter jet strike, and the IDF has not yet released operational details. The specific target of the strike remains unconfirmed, though the location had been identified earlier as a weapons lathe.
