Troops operating in the Gaza Strip several weeks ago found a cache of weapons in a vehicle belonging to a Hamas parliamentarian, the IDF reveals.

In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language Spokesman, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, says during the operation in Beit Lahiya, troops found a car near the home of Hamas MP Mushir al-Masri.

He says the car contained “many weapons,” including RPGs and assault rifles, as well as al-Masri’s driver’s license.

Adraee says the findings “prove the extent of involvement prominent Hamas ‘political’ leaders have in military terror activities.”
