A captured Gazan fighter led troops of the 460th Armored Brigade to a cache of weapons in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, the military says.

The IDF says that as the troops advanced in Jabaliya, a terror operative surrendered and was immediately questioned by a field interrogator of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, which specializes in HUMINT, or human intelligence.

The operative revealed the location of an arms store, which was raided by the troops a short while later, according to the IDF.

Inside, troops found communications equipment, explosive material, grenades, and guns, the military says.
