Gazan Mosque Used as Rocket Storage and Launching Site Targeted
[Israel Defense Forces/Ynet News] The Israel Air Force targeted a mosque in the Tel El Hawwa neighborhood of Gaza City on Wednesday that was used by Hamas as a Grad and Kassam rocket storage site. Rockets were launched from the mosque's grounds as recently as Wednesday morning. The airstrike set off numerous secondary explosions caused by the munitions stockpiled in the mosque. The attack on the mosque was carried out in line with legal authorization provided by the military's experts on international law. Earlier, Judge Advocate-General Avichai Mandelblith approved strikes against sites used for terror activity, even if they happen to be located in holy or sensitive spots.
