Terrorists launched two anti-tank missiles at a tank and a building intended for demolition. The missiles activated the explosives planted in two adjacent buildings. Both buildings collapsed and the site became a focus of destruction as after an earthquake, fighters were buried under the rubble.
The act of destroying the buildings was intended to separate the Palestinian territory from the line The Israeli border and especially to keep threats away from the settlements near the fence. According to the reservists, "Terrorist infrastructures that were used by terrorists are being blown up to remove threats on the border line so that Israeli citizens will not see terrorists in the eyes as was the case before October 7th.
Think of a terrorist sitting in a Palestinian house and being able to launch an anti-tank missile at an Israeli house, and if he brings a skilled sniper with an advanced rifle, he will also be able to hit a building or a person."
