On Wednesday, the Israeli military conducted an airstrike on the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in the Gaza Strip, claiming it was being used by Hamas for weapons storage. The strike resulted in significant destruction, with AFP footage showing smoke rising and Palestinians searching through rubble. The Israeli military stated that it has dismantled several Hamas weapons facilities in recent weeks, asserting that advance warnings were given to civilians prior to the attack. Despite a fragile ceasefire, violence continues in Gaza, with over 1,200 casualties reported since the truce began in October 2025. Eyewitnesses expressed frustration over ongoing attacks, questioning the validity of the ceasefire. Officials from Gaza's ministry of awqaf condemned the airstrike, alleging that Israel uses false justifications for its actions. UNESCO has reported damage to 164 sites, including 14 religious sites, since the onset of the conflict.
