Troops of the 261st Brigade’s 6651st Reconnaissance Battalion operating in northern Gaza’s Atatra and Jabaliya located Hamas weapons caches and manufacturing plants, the IDF says.
The IDF says the troops recovered a large number of firearms, rockets, and explosives.
The troops also raided nearby homes of Hamas operatives, locating further weapons there, and intelligence materials, the IDF says. The soldiers also found pictures of children in Hamas uniform, posing with weapons.
The IDF says the 6651st Battalion has ambushed and killed dozens of Hamas operatives in recent days. In one of the battles on Sunday, Master Sgt. (res.) Daniel Yacov Ben Harosh, 31, was killed.
