The IDF  has discovered a complex of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad war rooms and a large cache of weapons embedded in the area of Gaza City’s Unrwa headquarters during raids this week.

Troops from the Commando Brigade’s combat team located extensive quantities of weapons in the Unrwa HQ compound, including parts for UAV assembly, tactical drones, rockets, machine guns, mortars, explosives, and grenades, according to the IDF. On Friday the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit released footage of the discovery, adding that soldiers also discovered war rooms used for surveillance operations.

The IDF also reported having discovered terror infrastructure inside a university building during scans of the vicinity, with soldiers allegedly finding a subterranean weapons and explosives manufacturing facility, though the report did not specify which university.
