Terrorist Weapons Storage Facility Explodes In Gaza
Published 3 years ago
At least one person was killed and ten or more wounded when a weapons storage facility belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist movement caught fire and exploded in the Al-Zawiya market in Gaza City on Jul. 22, 2021.
The Israeli Defense Force denied any involvement, and the reason for the blast has been pinned on improper munitions storage practices. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group intentionally stores weapons and operates out of densely inhabited areas in hopes that retribution strikes by the IDF will cause civilian casualties. This time the terrorists inflict the civilian casualties themselves with no mediator.
"Instead of responding to UN calls for the reconstruction of Gaza, terrorist organizations continue to manufacture weapons and promote the construction of military sites," IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee stated. "These terrorist organizations store their weapons in the heart of residential neighborhoods and among civilians, exposing them directly to danger."
