Are rotational isometries groups generated by some kind of rotations?

If we consider the index $2$ subgroup of a Weyl group consisting of the isometries with determinant $1$ (the 'special' Weyl group), is it known that it is generated by rotations around some fixed axes? For example, it is true that the group of rotational isometries of the hypercube is generated by rotations around the principal (coordinate) axes? Thank you.
