In a recent operation, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) uncovered a significant cache of weapons hidden inside classrooms at the Islamic University in Khan Yunis, Gaza. The discovery sheds light on Hamas’s ongoing use of civilian institutions, such as educational facilities, to conceal its activities.
Weapons Found
Among the items discovered by the IDF’s Givati Infantry Brigade were Kalashnikov-type automatic rifles, ammunition, Hamas flags, and safes containing funds earmarked for terrorist activities. The findings underscore the challenge faced by security forces in distinguishing between civilian and military sites.
Givati Forces Operation
The Givati forces not only located and confiscated the weapons but also took action against terrorist infrastructures in the area. The operation resulted in the elimination of several terrorists in combat, showcasing the IDF’s commitment to countering threats posed by Hamas in the region.
University Area Searches
In a separate activity within the university area, IDF forces conducted extensive searches, uncovering dozens of weapons warehouses. These facilities contained approximately 100 mortar bombs, ready-to-use charges, grenades, combat equipment, and maps utilized by Hamas terrorists for planning and executing their operations.
The IDF’s proactive measures in identifying and neutralizing these hidden caches demonstrate the ongoing efforts to safeguard the region from potential security threats. The use of civilian institutions by Hamas raises concerns about the safety of educational and medical facilities in the conflict zone.
