IDF, Shin Bet target Hamas sites across Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet conducted strikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday night, targeting Hamas weapons storage facilities, a manufacturing site, and underground terrorist infrastructure. The IDF stated that secondary explosions confirmed the presence of weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers, and mortar shells, intended for use against Israeli civilians and troops operating along the “Yellow Line” defensive barrier within Gaza. The military asserted that Hamas “continues to systematically and flagrantly violate the ceasefire agreement while attempting to rebuild its military capabilities and terrorist infrastructure.” Israeli forces currently control approximately 60% of Gaza, positioned east of the Yellow Line, which was established during the conflict that began on October 7, 2023.
