Israel’s military and Shin Bet said targeted strikes across Gaza destroyed three weapons depots used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, along with a launch pit from which rockets were fired at Israel during the war. The depots held dozens of weapons, including rockets, Kalashnikov rifles and other combat equipment. The IDF said Hamas terrorists had recently visited the depots and used the weapons to conduct guard duties and consolidate control in Gaza. Southern Command forces remain deployed under the ceasefire agreement and will continue removing immediate threats, the military said.
