The IDF says the Egoz commando unit discovered a home in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis where, in one room, troops found a United Nations vest and in another a machine gun.

An Egoz team commander gives a video tour of the home, showing where the soldiers found the UN vest and the gun.

“You can see a clothes closet here… and here is a UN vest,” the lieutenant says.

Heading upstairs, the commander enters a bedroom he says troops scanned, and opens another closet, pulling out the machine gun.

“Right here we spotted the machine gun, a PK machine gun used by Hamas,” he says.

Israeli intelligence has allegedly shown that 12 staff members of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, in Gaza were involved in the brutal October 7 attacks and that hundreds more employees are directly linked to Hamas and other terror groups.
