Jerusalem, 8 July, 2024 (TPS) -- Israeli soldiers raided several terror sites in Gaza City overnight where Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were operating, including the UNRWA’s headquarters there, the Israel Defense Forces said on Monday morning.
Troops discovered terror operatives, weapons, detention rooms and other terror infrastructure. The army said it previously destroyed a tunnel below the UNRWA compound.
“The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations continue to systematically operate and carry out terrorist activity from inside civilian infrastructure. The IDF will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in accordance with international law,” the army said.
Ahead of the raid, the army warned civilians about operational activity in the area and opened a corridor for uninvolved civilians to evacuate.
