Israeli forces have destroyed two Hamas weapons depots in the Gaza Strip, striking facilities in the Bureij area and Gaza City in an operation conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet. According to the Israeli security agencies, the warehouses contained dozens of weapons and military supplies, including rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), rockets, explosives, Kalashnikov rifles, grenades and ammunition magazines. Footage released by the IDF shows an official military graphic highlighting the targeted locations on a satellite map of Gaza, followed by aerial images of explosions and thick smoke rising from the strike sites. The operation targeted weapons stockpiles that Israeli authorities identified as part of Hamas's military infrastructure. Their destruction represents another effort by Israel to weaken the group's ability to maintain and replenish its weapons capabilities across the territory.

Israeli media reports said the operation included advance warnings to civilians and the use of precision-guided munitions intended to reduce the risk of harm to non-combatants. These precautions were particularly significant given the densely populated environment surrounding many military facilities in the Gaza Strip. The strikes form part of Israel's broader efforts to locate and destroy Hamas weapons infrastructure and limit the group's capacity to carry out further attacks. The reported discovery of rockets, explosives and other military equipment in the two warehouses also highlights the continued presence of weapons stockpiles despite sustained Israeli military operations in Gaza. While the destruction of the facilities marks a significant development in the operation, the broader impact on Hamas's remaining military capabilities has not been independently established.
