IDF: The IDF Conducted a Strike on a Structure used by Hamas Terrorists to Attack IDF Troops

Yesterday (Monday), a structure in which Hamas terrorists were operating inside the Islamic University in the Sabra area was struck by the IAF, with the assistance of IDF ground troops. The terrorists used the structure to fire anti-tank missiles and to direct and carry out attacks against IDF troops. Before the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including aerial surveillance checks.
This is another example of the systematic exploitation by Hamas of civilian infrastructure and the population as a human shield for its terrorist activities.

IDF ground troops are continuing intelligence-based, targeted operations in the Rafah area. Over the past day, the troops eliminated several armed terrorists, and IAF aircraft dismantled numerous terrorist infrastructure sites that contained terror tunnels identified by the troops.

Following the projectile launches toward communities near the Gaza Strip last night, IAF fighter jets struck military structures adjacent to the point from which the launches were fired in Gaza. Additionally, the IAF struck terrorist infrastructure sites, weapons storage facilities, and terrorists in the central Gaza Strip.
