The Israel Defense Forces says troops located hidden underground storage sites with weapons and explosives inside a mosque in the West Bank city of Jenin.
After lengthy gun battles with armed Palestinians who were holed up inside the mosque, Israeli forces managed to break in, the IDF says.
The IDF says that on the ground floor, troops found two underground storage sites containing explosives, weapons, and other military equipment.
The equipment is being seized and destroyed, the IDF adds.
