The IDF says it struck three Hamas rocket launchers that were placed adjacent to humanitarian shelters in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, and were used in attacks on southern Israel.
Before carrying out the strikes, the IDF says it ensured that civilians were evacuated from the area.
“This is another example of Hamas’s exploitation of humanitarian compounds and areas for its terrorist activities and its use of the civilian population as a human shield,” the IDF says.
The IDF says it also hit a separate rocket launcher in Khan Younis yesterday, after it was used to launch three rockets at southern Israel. Additional infrastructure was also targeted in the area, the IDF adds.
