According to the IDF Spokesperson, the strikes targeted an observation post in the Daraj Tuffah area that Hamas operatives had been using against Israeli forces operating in the sector, a rocket launch site in the Faqra area, and three weapons warehouses in several locations across the Strip.
"Hamas stored dozens of weapons of various types inside the warehouses, including rockets, explosives, mortars, Kalashnikov rifles and additional combat equipment," the IDF said. "The IDF and Shin Bet will continue to act decisively to degrade the capabilities of terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and to thwart any attempt to rehabilitate them or to hold weapons with the aim of harming our forces."
The IDF added that "prior warnings were issued to the population before the strikes, in addition to the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance, in order to minimize the risk of harm to civilians."
