The IDF has located additional military infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Al-Shati area of the northern Gaza Strip, a spokesman said Tuesday afternoon. "Hamas uses civilian infrastructure such as schools and civilian buildings to launch rockets, store weapons and carry out attacks against the IDF," the spokesman said. "This is just one example of the broader operational method used by Hamas in Al-Shati and other areas." "It reflects Hamas' combat tactics throughout the entire strip - using civilian buildings and infrastructure for terrorist purposes. "Hamas continues to endanger the lives and safety of Gazan civilians."
