The IDF and the ISA on Wednesday struck in three areas across the Gaza Strip and dismantled three Hamas weapons storage facilities.

Hamas stored weapons, explosive devices, anti-tank missiles, and additional military equipment inside the facilities.

"Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the issuing of advance warnings, the use of precise munitions, and aerial surveillance," the IDF stressed.

Hamas' attempts to regain military capacity directly contradicts the ceasefire agreement the terror group signed. It also prevents the implementation of the second stage of the US plan for rebuilding Gaza, which requires Hamas to disarm.

"The IDF will continue to operate decisively to degrade Hamas’ military capabilities in the Gaza Strip and thwart any attempt by the terrorist organization to reconstitute these capabilities or possess weapons intended to harm IDF troops," the IDF added.

"IDF troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any threat."
