"One of the storage facilities had been established inside a mosque in the northern Gaza Strip," it added, saying advance warnings were given to civilians. A fragile ceasefire remains in place between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, but it has not halted the violence in the Gaza Strip, where 1,207 people were killed since the truce began in October 2025. Amir Abu Al-Amrain, the director general of the ministry of awqaf and religious affairs in the Gaza Strip, said Israeli forces had "completely destroyed" the mosque in the airstrike.
