Israel Defense Forces discovered Hamas put one of its missile launch sites in the Gaza Strip next to a mosque and children’s playground, and they surgically managed to take out the launch site with an air strike.

The launch site was set up to allow Hamas to fire long-range rockets into Israel. Aerial photos of the launch given to KleinOnline show “a children’s playground and a mosque located about a half a block away.”

In addition, two civilian factories and a gas station were also within a half-block radius of the launch site. 

Hamas and other terrorist groups have fired nearly 500 rockets into Israel since fighting began anew in the Gaza Strip four days ago.
