The military says it struck and destroyed several Hamas weapon depots in the central and northern Gaza Strip this week, including one inside a mosque.
The weapon storage site in a mosque in the Strip’s north is “another example of terror organizations using civilian infrastructure for terror purposes,” the army says.
The IDF says the weapons were intended to be used in attacks on Israeli troops in Gaza and Israeli civilians, and the sites were struck “to remove the threat.”
