Israel’s IDF and Shin Bet say they dismantled five Hamas weapon storage facilities and a launch site across Gaza, including locations inside mosques and near humanitarian infrastructure, destroying rockets, ammo and other military gear while issuing civilian warnings and using precision strikes under a cease-fire framework. Israel accuses Hamas of exploiting civilian sites, cites recent weapons finds in mosques, and its diplomats criticized Hamas’s threats in the broader context of the Israel‑Hamas conflict.
