Operation Cast Lead Day 5: Gazan Mosque Used as Rocket Storage and Launching Site Targeted

http://www.israeli-weapons.com

Dec. 31

The IAF targeted a mosque in the Tel El Hawwa neighborhood of Gaza City on Wednesday afternoon that was used by Hamas as a Grad missile and Qassam rocket storage site. The Gazan mosque was also turned into a staging ground for rockets and for launching missiles. The most recent rocket launching from the mosque occurred Wednesday morning.

The strike set off numerous secondary explosions caused by the munitions stockpiled in the mosque. In recent days, joint IDF and ISA intelligence efforts brought to light the information that terrorists were stockpiling weapons in the mosque and carrying out rocket attacks against Israeli communities from the mosques grounds, as well as using it as a hiding place.

The IDF will continue to attack any target used for terrorist activity and will not hesitate to strike those involved in terrorism against the citizens of the State of Israel, even if they choose to operate from locations of religious or cultural significance.

The IDF is engaged in a battle with Hamas and other terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and does not aim to target the Palestinian civilian population.

Summary of humanitarian aid efforts:

A total of 93 trucks transporting provisions, medical equipment and medicine entered Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing. Five ambulances also crossed into the Strip.

12 Palestinians, including two children, were transferred to Israeli hospitals.

Since the early morning hours on Wednesday, the IDF has attacked over 25 targets in the Gaza Strip. In addition to the mosque, these targets include the following:.

Weapons manufacturing and storage facilities in southern Gaza, including a storage site in the Khan Younis area where Amar Abu Ghalula, a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad's rocket infrastructure, was present. Three additional Islamic Jihad operatives were in the facility at the time of the IAF strike.

A tunnel in the Khan Younis area that was used for the smuggling of operatives and weaponry.

A Hamas outpost and training camp in Gaza City, which was also used as a weaponry manufacturing site and place of assembly for senior members of the terror organization.

Rocket launching sites, several of which were underground, as well as a number of loaded Grad launchers.

So far, throughout Operation Cast Lead, the IDF has so far attacked 450 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF will continue to operate against terror organizations and will not hesitate to strike those involved both directly and indirectly in attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel.

Fuck ye

[ahmedhusseinny]

Mashallah! What a beautiful sight!

Love to see Hamas getting their ass handed over to them. They can stoop to any level, even desecrating Mosques. Being a Muslim, I HAVE NO PROBLEM when such mosques are razed to the ground.

In the era of peace, beautiful mosques will come up, Inshallah.

@sameh184 to bad for you because israel killed 1000+ hamas terrorists and about 50 woman and children so your wrong and i wish to see arabs do the same to israel...israel is killing more terrorits then harming civilians..arabs just kill each other and there surrounding i say arabs are virus to them self and to others

@sameh184 For those who do not know any better, Hamas was solely responsible for this confrontation and all the others that followed this one- so they're directly responsible for the deaths of Palestinian children and women alike; in this war and every one after it. If you go to war and use civilians as a protective shield for you "heroic" fighters, don't make a more of an ass of yourself of what you're now by claiming that the opposite force has killed your women and children. So fuck you.

I've heard of a second Gaza war.

the way Hamas treats us,we are preparing for a HUGE ground strike to shut those pussies once and for all.

then they will admit who asked to cease-fire.

they will be ended.

in cast lead (1) they lost 1500 terrorists,I guess that wasn't enough for them and they probably want to lose 5500 terrorits,cause we can do it anytime!

[C0ldWarrior]

@sameh184 Children and women you say eh?? Now how's this to your understanding- hamas uses women and children as human shields, they hide behind women and children in hope of being shot by Israeli combatants and then be claimed as some sort of a "martyr" or some shit like that- now does a real "martyr"(whatever the fuck that really means anyway) want to be blown away with kids?? What a fucking coward I'd say about a motherfucker like that! :D LOOOLL

[drorbenami]

@sameh184 what is the death toll of sunnis killed by shiates and shiates killed by sunnis in iraq. the killing in gaza stopped. when is moslem killing moslem in iraq going to stop?

[emLevit]

@sameh184 Naturally you forgot to mention that those civilians were killed by Hammas terrorists using their own people as shields.

[HotIceMan1]

@Mone008 first of all how can they show you the weapons? secondly the additional explosions show clearly that the mosque storage weapons in it. ALL OF YOU WHO IS NOT A FANATIC ISLAMIC HAVE ONE THING IN THEIR MINDS: WE ARE WITH YOU ISRAEL AND CONTINUE FIGHTING THE TERRORISM!
