This week, under the direction of the IDF Intelligence Directorate and the Southern Command, the IAF targeted and destroyed military sites, guard posts, observation posts, weapons storage facilities, and command and control centers belonging to Hamas. These targets were located along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
The sites that were struck in the Rafah area, where Hamas terrorists were operating, facilitated the smuggling efforts led by the Hamas terrorist organization, including the smuggling of weapons that endanger Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip.
Targeting this terrorist infrastructure impedes Hamas’ ability to smuggle more weapons into the Gaza Strip. Operating in these areas enables Hamas to seize humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip, assist in the smuggling of weapons, and partake in Hamas’ attacks against IDF troops in the Gaza Strip.
