Troops of the elite LOTAR counter-terrorism unit located a weapons depot close to a school used as a shelter for civilians in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF says.
The IDF says it had “intelligence indications” of the site, which was found to be storing dozens of firearms, ammunition, rockets, mortars, grenades, and other military equipment.
Nearby, the troops found another weapons depot, which the IDF says contained dozens more rockets and additional military equipment.
Footage shared by the IDF shows Palestinian Islamic Jihad flags at both weapons depots.
The IDF says the LOTAR troops also raided Hamas hideout apartments and additional sites in Khan Younis recently.
