Israeli forces over the past 24 hours took control of another Hamas "military" compound in the northern Gaza Strip, according to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday.

Soldiers found anti-tank missiles and launchers, weapons, and various intelligence material at the site, according to the IDF.

In a separate incident, Israeli forces directed an airstrike on a group of terrorists that had barricaded themselves in a building adjacent to the al-Quds Hospital in Gaza's Tel al-Hawa area.

The IDF said that the strike led to "significant secondary explosions" that indicated the presence of a Hamas weapons depot.

Israel accuses Hamas of placing its terrorist infrastructure in and launching attacks from civilian sites such as hospitals, schools, houses of worship, and United Nations buildings. The army has provided visual evidence of terror tunnels and rocket-launching positions in or around such sites.

Also in the past day, IDF fighter jets struck a 10-man terror cell under the guidance of ground forces, as well as an anti-tank missile cell operating in their vicinity.

Dozens of Hamas mortars were also struck overnight Sunday, according to the IDF.

Israeli naval forces also struck targets in the Strip, including "posts containing technological assets."
