The Israel Defense Forces says it hit Hamas infrastructure across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, destroying three weapons storage facilities, a rocket launch site and an observation command center. A 10-second video released by the military shows a map of Gaza with each target marked, overlaid with aerial footage of explosions and plumes of smoke rising from every labeled location. The IDF says the sites were being used to advance attacks against Israeli troops and civilians, and that advance warnings and precision munitions were used to reduce harm to people living nearby. These details come from the Israeli military's own statement and footage, and they have not been independently verified.
The strikes land in the middle of a fragile and constantly tested ceasefire that took hold on October 10, 2025, ending the two-year war that began with the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel. Since then, the IDF has regularly announced strikes on weapons depots, launch sites and militants, arguing that Hamas keeps violating the truce while trying to rebuild its military strength. Just this month, the military reported destroying several weapons storage facilities linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in similar operations. Hamas and Palestinian officials have meanwhile accused Israel of breaking the ceasefire as well, leaving a wide gap between the two sides' accounts and raising fresh questions about how long the truce can hold.
