The Israel Defense Forces and Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) have destroyed more than 100 Hamas pickup trucks in Gaza as of Monday.

According to the IDF, the vehicles played a key role in the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023 invasion of southern Israel, and were also used for transporting weapons and carrying out further terror operations.

The military stated that it will continue to take action against terror groups in Gaza to eliminate threats to Israeli civilians.
