Israeli forces uncovered a cache of weapons in Rafah as well as a Hamas tunnel connected to a child's bedroom on Thursday.
Israeli troops discovered an entrance to a Hamas tunnel inside a child's bedroom in Rafah on Thursday. The IDF says it recovered a trove of weapons and explosives from the tunnel. The operation is the latest of what Israel calls its 'precise, intelligence-based, targeted operations' inside Rafah. 'This week, the troops located a tunnel shaft inside a child's room, and a butcher's knife next to it.
News of the operation comes the same day an Israeli strike took out Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists hiding at a United Nations school for displaced Palestinians in central Gaza. Local officials say that the strike killed more than 30 people, including 23 women and children. Israel said it was targeting a Hamas compound inside the school containing 20 to 30 fighters and that many of them had been killed.
Witnesses and hospital officials said the predawn strike hit the al-Sardi School, run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees . The school was filled with Palestinians who had fled Israeli offensives and bombardment in northern Gaza, they said. 'Eliminated: several Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who embedded themselves inside of an @UNRWA school,' an IDF post to X reads.
