The Israeli military struck a weapons manufacturing site that Hamas established in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City on Sunday afternoon, according to reports. No details on casualties or damage have been released.
The IDF struck a weapons manufacturing site in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, confirming the location of a strike that was previously reported without a specific neighborhood. The operation unfolded through a series of linked reports from The Zioneer starting at 14:07 Jerusalem: an initial drone strike on the Beit Afana workshop, an evacuation warning for the same location, claims of two operatives killed, then four casualties from the workshop, and finally the confirmation of a strike on a weapons manufacturing site. The current report narrows the target to Sabra.
The Zioneer's initial dispatch at 14:07 Jerusalem reported an Israeli drone striking the Beit Afana workshop on al-Sanaa Street in western Gaza City with three missiles. Minutes later, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for that location. Subsequent reports at the same timestamp cited two operatives killed, then four casualties from the workshop. By 14:07 Jerusalem, the IDF had struck a weapons production site in Gaza City, described as a weapons manufacturing site. The reporting relied on local Gazan sources and the Abu Ali Express channel, with no immediate Israeli confirmation for casualty figures.
The strike comes amid an ongoing IDF campaign to degrade Hamas's military infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported on June 24, Hamas has been rebuilding rocket-launch positions and preparing for the next confrontation. The IDF has struck newly built Hamas rocket positions (June 24), terror infrastructure in western Gaza City (June 22), and a Hamas command center in Gaza (June 29). The current operation aligns with the military's stated goal of targeting weapons production capabilities.
No details on casualties or damage from the Sabra strike have been released. The earlier casualty reports from the workshop strike—claiming two then four killed—remain unverified by Israeli sources, and the identities of those reported killed have not been specified. The extent of the weapons manufacturing site's destruction is also unclear.
