Israel destroys Hamas command and control center in apartment tower



Jerusalem Post:
The Israel Air Force struck a 13-story building in Gaza City on Saturday evening that housed an enormous Hamas command center, IDF sources said, adding that only combatants were inside at the time.

Gazan health officials said 17 people were wounded in the attack. Reuters cited local residents as saying that the building housed 44 families.

The IDF struck three mosques used for terrorist activities. Two were in southern Gaza, with one used for meetings between members of Hamas’s military wing and the other used to store terrorist infrastructure.
The third mosque, in the north of the Strip, was used as a meeting point for Hamas members.

IDF intelligence identified rocket fire from Gaza stemming from several civilian population centers.

Other sites Hamas used to fire rockets over the weekend included a medical clinic and a cemetery.

Hamas has been using up a lot of its remaining inventory of rockets and its infrastructure has come under renewed attacks from Israel.  It appears to be a death struggle for the death cult which continues to push unacceptable demands in the face of heavy losses.  Israel seems much more focused on command and control targets during this round taking out several top commanders and their meeting sites.

Haaretz reports that Israel also hit the man in charge of Hamas's money transfers.  He was apparently in a seven story office building in Rafah near the Egyptian border with Gaza.  The building was destroyed.  Israel has apparently made the decision to knock down any building used by Hamas.
