Weapons Found in Residential Building in Rafah
The Nahal Brigade Combat Team continues to operate in the Rafah area in precise, intelligence-based targeted operations, led by the 162nd Division.
Over the past few weeks, the soldiers have been carrying out intelligence-based scans and operating to eliminate terrorist targets in the area. In one of the scans carried out by Nahal Reconnaissance Battalion, the soldiers located large quantities of weapons inside a civilian residence hidden in wardrobes. This included grenades, explosives, a launcher anti-tank missiles, ammunition and arms. In another scan made using a drone, a tunnel shaft was located under a child’s bed, and in another room the soldiers located a passage in the wall that Hamas terrorist operatives had created to pass between residences in crowded neighborhoods.
The brigade's Fire Control Center destroyed terrorist infrastructure in the area, including a weapons storage facility. Secondary explosions were seen after the strike, indicating that large quantities of weapons were being stored there.
