On July 21, the IDF Nahal Brigade inspected the grounds of an agricultural school in Beit Hanoun, Northern Gaza, and discovered Grad rocket launchers. Some of the launchers still held rockets that were ready to be be fired. Hamas has shot many rockets at Israel from this location.

Hamas has consistently abused schools as a location from which to launch rocket attacks. Just in the past week, rocket caches were found at two different UNWRA schools in the Gaza Strip.
