IDF strikes kill Hamas terrorists, destroy terror ambush point near hospital in Gaza

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.

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.

The structure was destroyed, and multiple terrorists were killed after they planned to attack IDF troops and began to rebuild Hamas's military capability from the structure.

Steps were taken to mitigate the risk to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance, the IDF said.

IDF, Shin Bet, conducted strikes to kill Hamas commander

This comes days after the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) killed the terrorist Ismail Abu Pul, commander of a weapons production site at Hamas's production headquarters, who took part in producing charges and anti-tank missiles for the terror organization in a strike on the Al-Maghazi area in Gaza.

In addition, the same production site, which was established near an aid distribution point for an international organization, was attacked, the military said, calling it an example of Hamas's systematic use of civilian infrastructure for the purpose of promoting and executing terrorist plots against IDF forces operating in the Yellow Line area and Israeli citizens.
