Troops of the Givati Brigade operating in southern Gaza’s Rafah located an underground weapons depot last week, the military says.

The site was found during a raid on a building suspected of being used by Hamas as a meeting point. The IDF says the troops killed several gunmen near the building and then located the weapon depot inside.

In recent days, some 30 gunmen were killed by Givati troops in Rafah, the IDF adds.
