The IDF confirmed Wednesday that it struck a weapons storage facility inside a mosque in the northern Gaza Strip, along with additional weapons depots, as part of ongoing operations against terror infrastructure. The statement, attributed to the IDF Spokesperson, did not specify exactly when the strike occurred, but noted that the weapons were intended to harm Israeli troops operating along the Yellow Line and Israeli civilians. The military also highlighted the continued exploitation of civilian sites, including religious buildings, by terrorist organizations for military purposes. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, the IDF had previously announced a similar strike on a mosque-based weapons depot over the past week, indicating a pattern of terrorist groups embedding military assets in civilian areas.
