The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed a massive Hamas rocket production facility on Monday that the terrorist group used to build the long-range rockets that it fires at Israeli cities in its efforts to kill civilians and terrify the population.

In a statement, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said:

In the central Gaza Strip, IDF forces are concentrating their efforts on fighting in the area of the central camps in Al-Bureij. There, they located Hamas’ main underground weapons manufacturing facility, situated 30 meters below ground. This factory produced long-range rockets, mortar bombs, and parts for UAVs. It was built along the Tancher axis, also known as Salah ad-Din Road, and is used by humanitarian aid trucks traveling from Rafah to the north. Hamas built its terror manufacturing facilities along the humanitarian corridor, underground, and above ground, within civilian factory spaces. Embedded within civilian areas, we found, dismantled, and are now destroying these facilities.
