For several years, Wassam Abu Eshaq managed to smuggle weapons and ammunition into Gaza from the Egyptian Sinai through the Rafah border crossing or underground tunnels.

Also targeted in the Rafah area was a launch site where rockets ready for firing were located.

During the last day, Israeli aircraft struck dozens of Hamas buildings, tunnel shafts and terror squads.

In addition, during the last day, aircraft and fighter jets of the Air Force attacked dozens of terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. Among the targets attacked, were military buildings, terrorist squads, underground shafts and more.
