The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) neutralized the location from which Hamas previously launched rockets towards the city of Ashdod located in Israel's Southern District. "The strike was precise, avoiding harm to civilians who evacuated the area prior to it," the IDF wrote on Monday, as the photo attached to the post shows a civilian tent area adjacent to the site in the central #gaza Strip targeted by the IAF. The IDF also noted that the air strike caused secondary explosions, "indicating the presence of weapons in the area."
