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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
