The IDF struck Hamas's naval police headquarters in Khan Yunis on Sunday, the military confirmed on Tuesday.
"The facility was used to advance and execute attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel," and is "involved in planning, directing, and executing terrorist activities," the statement said.
According to the IDF, the headquarters was reportedly being utilized to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities under the cover of the ongoing ceasefire. The terrorist group is exploiting civilian facilities as well as military infrastructure to smuggle weapons, the military said.
Several terrorists killed, weapons storage facilities destroyed
Several terrorists were reportedly killed in the strike, including a commander in Hamas's military wing.
The IDF also targeted three Hamas weapons storage facilities in southern Gaza last week. Local residents were given advanced warning prior to the strikes, which led to the identification of Hamas terrorists attempting to transfer weapons from the site.
