The IDF says troops of the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit located a cache of weapons at Shifa Hospital’s MRI center, during the military’s ongoing raid against Hamas at the medical center, the largest in the Gaza Strip.
Mortars, grenades, firearms and ammunition were found hidden within the building, in some cases under the floors and in the drop ceiling, according to the IDF.
The IDF says the Nahal troops killed several gunmen during their scans of the MRI center and Shifa’s maternity ward.
Weapons were also found in the maternity ward, the IDF says.
