The IDF says troops of the Commando Brigade, alongside other forces, have seized hundreds of weapons during an ongoing offensive in the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a video published by the IDF, a cache of firearms, explosive devices, and other military equipment is seen being found by the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit in a building adjacent to al-Amal Hospital.

The Egoz commando unit captured dozens of terror operatives in the neighborhood, who were interrogated by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, the IDF says.

Numerous gunmen have also been killed by troops in al-Amal, including with sniper fire, in close-quarters combat, and by calling in airstrikes, according to the IDF.
