Watch: IDF strikes Hamas and PIJ weapons manufacturing workshop in humanitarian area

Israeli Air Force aircraft, guided by intelligence from Military Intelligence and Southern Command, struck a weapons manufacturing workshop of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in the humanitarian area of Deir al-Balah last night (Tuesday).

Before the strikes, many steps were taken to minimize the risk of civilian casualties, including the use of munitions appropriate for the type of attack, precise imagery, and intelligence information.

IDF forces also conducted an operation in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus, uncovering an explosives laboratory containing ready-to-use charges. Engineering units subsequently destroyed the lab and its contents, preventing potential attacks.

In addition, a unit from the IDF's 636 division neutralized an armed terrorist near the settlement of Bekaot.
