In a targeted overnight operation, the IDF and Shin Bet successfully destroyed four Hamas weapons warehouses across the Gaza Strip. The sites contained Kalashnikov rifles, explosive charges, anti-tank launchers, ammunition, and other military equipment. According to the military, these weapons were stockpiled for use in attacks against Israeli troops operating in the area and against Israeli civilians. The strikes were carried out to eliminate the immediate threat posed by the terror group’s ongoing efforts to rebuild its capabilities.

The operation highlights Hamas’s continued violation of the ceasefire agreement as it systematically works to rearm and prepare for future assaults. Israeli forces under the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with existing understandings and will continue acting to neutralize any emerging dangers. This latest success demonstrates the close coordination between the IDF and intelligence services in identifying and dismantling terror infrastructure before it can be used.

As long as Hamas prioritizes weapons over the welfare of Gaza’s population, Israel has both the right and the duty to act decisively in self-defense. These precision strikes protect Israeli soldiers and civilians while degrading the terrorist organization’s ability to launch new attacks. The Jewish state will not stand by while its enemies rearm under the cover of temporary pauses in fighting.
