Another mosque identified by the IDF as an ammunition depot was the Abdullah Azzam Mosque in the Nuseirat refugee camp. According to the army, the mosque is an important part of the camp, is surrounded by residential homes and is just 86 m. from the offices of UNRWA’s North Nuseirat relief and social services.
“An explosion, an accident or even a fire in the warehouse could result in injuries to civilians, from worshipers in the mosque to people who come to receive humanitarian aid,” the IDF said.
Following a Wednesday tour of the Gaza Division, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “Hamas fires from within the civilian population and into the civilian population – the world should charge Hamas a price for its crimes.”
Gantz was accompanied by Deputy Defense Minister Alon Shuster, General of the Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Toledano, Head of the Operations Directorate Maj.-Gen. Oded Basiuk and Head of the Gaza Division Brig.-Gen. Nimrod Aloni.
Gantz said the Defense Ministry has been “working extensively” to create a sense of security for residents of the South, as well as work toward allowing the residents of Gaza to have a better economy while continuing to disrupt Hamas’s attempts to strengthen itself militarily.
“Today, the IDF revealed to the world examples of the depth of Hamas’s use of the civilian population, which it chooses to put in the front line of fire,” Gantz said. “The whole world should be exposed to the crimes committed by Hamas, and exact a heavy price for that.”
