According to security analyst Yair Goldblatt, the Israel Defense Forces struck a factory producing weapons parts on al-Sana'a Street in western Gaza City earlier today. No casualties have been reported.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on Sunday evening that the Israel Defense Forces struck a factory producing weapons parts on al-Sana'a Street in western Gaza City. The report confirms the nature of the target at a location that had been hit multiple times earlier in the day.
The sequence of events began at 14:07 Jerusalem, when an Israeli drone struck the Beit Afana workshop on the same street, with reports of casualties. Shortly after, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the location and then struck it again with fighter jets. Palestinian sources reported four killed in the initial strike, and later reports described the target as a weapons production lathe and a Hamas weapons manufacturing site. At 16:35 Jerusalem, fighter jets struck the lathe area again after an evacuation warning, according to Abu Ali Express.
Goldblatt's report, citing his own sources, provides on-record confirmation that the facility was a factory for manufacturing weapons components. No casualties from the latest strike have been reported.
The strikes are part of ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza City. Earlier on Sunday, the IDF also struck a weapons manufacturing site in the Sabra neighborhood, as The Zioneer reported at 17:47 Jerusalem.
It remains unclear whether Goldblatt's report refers to the same strike as the 16:35 fighter jet attack or a separate subsequent strike. No official IDF statement has been released.
