The IDF carried out a targeted strike Saturday on a Hamas underground facility in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, after identifying the terror group was restoring the site in violation of the ceasefire, the military said. Three targets within the underground infrastructure were hit.
The IDF confirmed that on Saturday it struck an underground infrastructure site of the Hamas terror organization in the Deir al-Balah area of central Gaza. The military said three targets within the facility were hit after IDF surveillance identified Hamas was attempting to restore the site, in violation of the ceasefire agreement. The IDF noted that Hamas systematically locates its military infrastructure in civilian areas, using the population as human shields.
This evening's bulletin follows The Zioneer's initial report on the strike at 21:03, which was based on the same official IDF announcement. The text now includes additional detail: the IDF specified that three targets within the underground site were struck, and that the strike was a consequence of Hamas ceasefire violations.
Earlier today (16:10), The Zioneer also reported an IDF strike on a Hamas command center in Gaza, though it is not yet clear whether that strike is linked to the Deir al-Balah operation. Both attest to continued Israeli enforcement of the ceasefire terms amid ongoing terror infrastructure rebuilding attempts by Hamas.
