IDF destroys underground Hamas weapons factory in central Gaza

An underground Hamas weapons manufacturing plant in the central Gaza Strip was recently demolished by troops, the military says.

Members of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, operating under the 99th Division in central Gaza, located and demolished the tunnel, following “precise intelligence” on the site, the IDF says.

The IDF says that inside the tunnel, troops found several lathes and machines for processing and cutting materials used for the manufacture of weapons.

The military also recovered documents, computers, and portable hard drives from the tunnel.

After the tunnel was mapped out and the findings were seized, combat engineers destroyed it.

The IDF says that the demolition of the tunnel is “another blow to the attempts of the Hamas terror organization to recover.”
