Gaza Strip - August 07, 2024

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) targeted a Hamas and Islamic Jihad weapons production facility located within a designated humanitarian area in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Tuesday. The operation, based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, aimed to neutralize militant infrastructure while minimizing civilian casualties through advanced targeting methods.

Prior to the strike, extensive precautions were implemented to safeguard civilians, utilizing accurate munitions and thorough surveillance. The IDF emphasized that Hamas routinely exploits civilian and humanitarian zones for military purposes, illustrating a pattern of endangering non-combatant areas.

Concurrently, IDF forces conducted targeted operations in Rafah, dismantling terrorist infrastructure and engaging hostile elements. Operations in central Gaza also saw coordinated efforts with the Israeli Air Force (IAF) to eliminate terrorist threats, including strikes on sites used for hostile activities against IDF personnel.

Throughout the Gaza Strip, the IAF executed multiple airstrikes on terrorist targets, including structures used for launching attacks against IDF units and military facilities.
