The IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) struck a Hamas weapons manufacturing site in the Al-Maghazi area of the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing Ismail Abu Ful, a commander at the site. The military said the site was built near an international aid distribution point and accused Hamas of systematically violating the ceasefire by attempting to rebuild its capabilities. Abu Ful was involved in producing explosive devices and anti-tank rockets, according to the IDF.
The operation, confirmed by the IDF on Sunday evening, targeted a manufacturing site in the Al-Maghazi area of central Gaza. The military identified the site as part of Hamas's production headquarters, used to manufacture explosive devices and anti-tank rockets. The site commander, Ismail Abu Ful, was killed in the strike. The IDF noted that the facility was built adjacent to an aid distribution point run by an international organization, accusing Hamas of systematically exploiting civilian infrastructure. Advance warnings were issued to the local population prior to the strike, the military added. As The Zioneer reported Sunday evening, the strike came amid what the IDF described as systematic ceasefire violations by Hamas, which has attempted to rehabilitate its military capabilities. The military stated that troops under Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and continue to operate to remove immediate threats. This operation follows a series of similar Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip aimed at preventing Hamas from restoring its weapons production infrastructure during the lull in major combat, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
