IDF: Launch Pits Embedded Near the Largest Fuel Storage Facility in the Gaza Strip Located by the IDF

Over the last week, the 605th Battalion has been operating along the Philadelphi Corridor in the Gaza Strip in order to locate terrorist infrastructure.

Yesterday (Wednesday), the troops located rocket launch pits along the Philadelphi Corridor that were situated a few dozen meters away from the Gaza Strip’s largest fuel storage facility for civilian use. Any damage to the facility - including rocket fire from these nearby launch pits - could endanger the lives of tens of thousands of Gazan citizens in the surrounding areas. The IDF did not damage the fuel storage facility while dismantling the launch pits.

This is a further example of the systematic abuse of civilian and humanitarian infrastructure by the terror organizations in Gaza.
