Israeli Air Force strikes PIJ bomb-making site in Northern Gaza
TEL AVIV, Israel — The Israeli Air Force, in conjunction with the Shin Bet, said it carried out a precision strike targeting a bomb-making facility and a warehouse containing combat equipment belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the northern Gaza Strip.
According to the Israeli military, the targeted site had recently been used by PIJ’s production unit and also by Hamas for the manufacture of explosives and storage of weapons intended for attacks against Israeli forces and civilians.
The military said the strike was conducted to remove what it described as an immediate threat in the Yellow Line area.
In a statement, the Israeli military noted that measures were taken before the operation to minimise civilian casualties, including the evacuation of the targeted area, the use of precision-guided munitions and aerial surveillance.
The military further stated that troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in line with existing operational arrangements and would continue operations aimed at neutralising security threats.
