The IDF says that during recent operations by the 7th Armored Brigade in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, troops killed several terrorists and discovered large weapons caches and evidence that children were being trained to use weapons in schools.
The military says that forces from the brigade “killed many terrorists at close range with tank shelling and airstrikes directed by the troops.” This included several terror cells that fired RPGs at the soldiers.
The forces carried out widespread searches in the area, in which they discovered “explosives, guns, grenades, communications equipment and many intelligence documents,” the army says.
In one school, they discovered a terror tunnel and evidence children were being trained to use weapons, including toy Kalashnikov rifles and pictures of students posing and training with weapons.
