The military said the facilities were destroyed in order to eliminate what it described as an immediate threat.

According to the IDF, precautions were taken ahead of the strikes to reduce harm to civilians, including the use of precision-guided munitions and aerial surveillance.

The IDF also said that troops under its Southern Command remain deployed in the area in line with the ceasefire agreement and will continue operations aimed at removing immediate threats on the ground.
