IDF strikes Hamas arms depots, including one inside Gaza mosque

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Wednesday that it conducted strikes over the past week on several Hamas weapons storage sites in central and northern Gaza. These depots contained weapons intended for use against Israeli soldiers and civilians. One of the targeted sites was located inside a mosque, which the IDF stated is an example of “terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip exploiting civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes.” The military emphasized that these sites were dismantled to eliminate the threat. IDF soldiers remain deployed in the enclave as per the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement, which began on October 10, 2025, following the conflict that started on October 7, 2023.
