IDF strikes Hamas naval police headquarters, kills several terrorists

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that they had struck Hamas's naval police headquarters in Khan Yunis. The military stated that the facility served as a hub for advancing and executing attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.

According to the IDF, the headquarters was actively involved in the planning, direction, and execution of terrorist activities. The military further alleged that Hamas was using the facility to rebuild its military capabilities under the guise of the ongoing ceasefire, exploiting civilian infrastructure for weapons smuggling.

Reports indicate that several terrorists were killed in the strike, including a commander within Hamas's military wing. In addition to the headquarters, the IDF also targeted three Hamas weapons storage facilities in southern Gaza in the preceding week. The military reported that local residents were provided with advance warning before these strikes, which reportedly led to the identification of Hamas terrorists attempting to move weapons from the sites.
