IDF: A short while ago, the IDF struck a high-rise building that was used by the Hamas terrorist organization in the area of Gaza City.
Hamas terrorists planted intelligence gathering means, explosive devices, and positioned observation posts.
The terrorists responsible for installing the intelligence gathering means and explosive devices have been operating in the area near the building and have used it throughout the war to plan and advance terror attacks.
Prior to the strike, steps were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including advanced warnings to the population, the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip systematically violate international law, brutally exploiting civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as human shields for terrorist activities.
The IDF will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations.

IDF: Three Waves of Strikes Completed and Over 360 Terror Targets Struck: The IDF Expands Activities in Gaza City
As part of the next stage of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots II”, the IDF, led by the Southern Command and in cooperation with the Israeli Air Force, began a strike operation on terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza City area.
The Israeli Air Force has so far completed three waves of strikes based on precise intelligence, during which more than 360 terrorist targets were struck using dozens of aircraft.
The Beginning of Targeted Strikes on High-Rise Structures That had Been Converted Into Terrorist Infrastructure
This past Friday, the IDF began striking high-rise structures that had been converted into terrorist infrastructure, including cameras, observation command centers, sniper and anti-tank firing positions, and command-and-control compounds.
So far, several high-rise structures that posed a direct threat to IDF troops have been targeted in precision strikes.
First Wave – Targeted Strikes in the Daraj Tuffah Area:
The IDF struck a series of terrorist infrastructure sites – the main ones being:
* Central observation and sniper positions used by the Daraj Tuffah Battalion, intended to be used against IDF troops as part of Hamas’ defensive plan.
* An internal investigation facility of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Additionally, operational shafts built beneath structures and weapons storage facilities were targeted as well.
Second and Third Waves – Strikes in the Daraj Tuffah and Al-Furqan Areas:
The IDF struck a series of terrorist infrastructure sites – the main ones being:
* A Hamas underground gathering point from which terrorists had prepared in recent days for terror activity against our troops.
* A lathe used for the production of RPG missiles and mortars, and a site used for the production and storage of weapons.
Prior to the strikes, extensive measures were taken to minimize the risk of harming civilians as much as possible.
In the coming days, the IDF will increase the pace of targeted strikes, based on precise intelligence, with the aim of dismantling Hamas’ terrorist infrastructure, disrupting its operational readiness, and reducing the threat to IDF troops as part of the preparations for the next stages of the operation.
