IDF releases video of attack on Hamas ‘smuggling’ sites near Gaza-Egypt border

The Israel Defense Forces have released a video Friday appearing to show airstrikes being carried out against Hamas positions along the Gaza-Egypt border linked to the terrorist group’s “smuggling efforts.” 

“Fighter jets, helicopter gunships and remotely manned aircraft of the Air Force... this week destroyed military sites, guard posts, observation posts, weapons warehouses and command and control rooms of the general security mechanisms of Hamas located in the border area of the Gaza Strip and Egypt,” the IDF said. 

“The sites that were attacked in the Rafah area, where Hamas terrorists operated, aided the smuggling efforts led by Hamas and included weapons that endanger the IDF soldiers operating in the Strip and the citizens of Israel,” it continued. 

“Damage to these terrorist infrastructures harms the terrorist organization's ability to smuggle more weapons into the Strip,” the IDF added.
