Our troops found UAVs, war rooms used for surveillance operations and large quantities of weapons, including tactical drones, rockets, machine guns, mortars, explosives and grenades in a compound near UNRWA’s HQ in Gaza City, following intelligence that Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists and infrastructure were embedded inside. 

At the start of the operation, the IDF opened a defined corridor to enable civilians to evacuate from the area.

Next to the terrorist compound, our troops previously exposed and operated against an underground tunnel route and a significant asset of Hamas' military intelligence that passed under the building that served as UNRWA's HQ in Gaza.
