The IDF and Shin Bet destroyed five Hamas weapons storage facilities in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night, the military said. One warehouse was located near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah and contained Kalashnikovs, explosives, anti-tank weapons, and ammunition, according to the IDF.
The operation, carried out overnight Saturday, targeted five weapons storage sites across several areas of the Gaza Strip, the military said. The warehouses contained Kalashnikov rifles, explosive devices, anti-tank launchers, ammunition, and other military equipment. One warehouse, located adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, was being used by Hamas operatives to store weapons, according to the IDF, which described the location as another instance of the terror group's systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure.
The strike is the latest in a series of IDF operations against Hamas weapons storage facilities in Gaza. The Zioneer has reported several such strikes in recent weeks, including the destruction of four weapons warehouses in central Gaza on July 16 and three warehouses in central Gaza on June 12. The IDF has stated that the weapons were intended for attacks against Israeli troops and civilians.
