The IDF conducted a precise strike on Wednesday in the Beit Lahiya area, in the northern Gaza Strip, targeting a weapons and drone storage site, the military said.

The weapons were intended to be used for the execution of an imminent terror attack against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, the military said.

"IDF soldiers in the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," the military said.

The strike comes after the IDF announced the end of a series of strikes across the Gaza Strip that came in response to Hamas's numerous ceasefire violations and the resumption of the ceasefire enforcement.

"In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of strikes, in which dozens of terror targets and terrorists were struck, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire in response to Hamas’s violations," the military stated.

"The targets struck were key terrorists, including three battalion commanders, two deputy battalion commanders, and 16 company commanders; observation posts; weapons production warehouses; launch posts; underground tunnels; and mortar shell firing posts," the military said.

Four out of the terrorists killed took part in the October 7 massacre, including Muhammad Isa, commander of a Nukhba platoon, Fawwaz ‘Uwayda, commander of a Nukhba terrorist cell, Hatem Maher Mousa Qudra, a Nukhba company commander, Muhammad Abu Shari’a, and Nidal Abu Shari’a, terrorists from the Mijahideen terrorist organization.
