TEL AVIV, July 24. /TASS/. Israel has struck Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

"Overnight (Thursday), the IDF and ISA struck and dismantled Hamas terror infrastructure sites in several areas throughout the Gaza Strip, including weapons storage facilities, a weapons manufacturing site, and underground terrorist infrastructure," it said. "The storage facilities contained Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers, mortar shells, explosive devices, and additional military equipment. These weapons were intended to be used against IDF troops operating along the Yellow Line and against Israeli civilians. They were dismantled in order to remove the threat."

According to the IDF, Hamas "continues to systematically and flagrantly violate the ceasefire agreement while attempting to rebuild its military capabilities and terrorist infrastructure."
