How Israel Exposed and Destroyed Islamic Jihad Rocket Production Sites in Gaza
(Walla-Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - In the IDF's recent operation against Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket fire from Gaza, one minute after targeted attacks on three Islamic Jihad officials, the Israel Air Force bombed 12 PIJ targets that included a tunnel that contained the largest workshop for the production of rockets, laboratories for the production of explosives, launch pits and weapons depots. By the end of the operation, the IDF had attacked 32 infrastructure targets. One target was a material storage site for chemicals that were very difficult to smuggle into Gaza. Another targeted location was a tunnel where a factory was built for the production of rockets deep underground. The IDF used artificial intelligence to locate production workshops. The IDF's research division assessed that Islamic Jihad's main rocket production areas were "completely wiped out."
