Amid the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, the IDF says troops deployed to Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood — on the eastern side of the Yellow Line — located a cache of weapons belonging to Hamas.

The arms depot was found by troops of the 252nd Division in “the heart of the Shejaiya neighborhood,” the army says.

The site was used by Hamas to store various types of explosive devices, as well as rockets.

The IDF says it remains deployed in Gaza “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.”
