IDF strikes Hamas terror infrastructure in Gaza

This comes after the IDF struck and destroyed a structure in the Jabalya area of the Gaza Strip that was used as an ambush position for Hamas terrorists and as a storage facility for various types of weapons on Tuesday, the military said on Wednesday.

The position was located approximately 50 meters from the Yellow Line, 70 meters from Kamal Adwan Hospital, and 170 meters from a school, the IDF said, calling it an example of Hamas's systematic use of civilian and humanitarian infrastructure, contrary to both the ceasefire agreement and international law.
