Troops of the 188th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade located long-range rockets among other weapons in residences in central Gaza’s al-Bureij, the IDF says.

In the home of a Palestinian family, the IDF says the 188th Brigade found a cache of rockets capable of being launched to distances of 20 kilometers. Other weapons were found in the home.

In another home in al-Bureij, Golani soldiers found dozens of mortars and short-range rockets, along with other weapons.

The rockets were destroyed and the other weapons were seized, the IDF says.
