IDF Locates Mortar Shells, Rockets Hidden In UNRWA Humanitarian Aid Bags

The Israel Defense Forces found about 110 mortar shells and several rockets hidden in UNRWA aid bags, following suspect interrogations during clearance operations.

  • On Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces' 7th Brigade operating under the Gaza Division uncovered several rockets and about 110 mortar shells hidden inside UNRWA humanitarian aid bags east of the Yellow Line.
  • As part of ongoing clearance operations, the IDF discovered a weapons cache during efforts to clear tunnels and underground infrastructure across the Gaza Strip following interrogations of suspects who entered the Yellow Line.
  • The IDF and Shin Bet said they targeted Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders and infrastructure, hitting four commanders, a weapons storage facility, a production site, and two launch infrastructures overnight.
  • Despite Hamas violations, the Rafah crossing reopened earlier this week in both directions, with about 150 people exiting Gaza daily and 50 entering under the second phase of the agreement.
  • More than two years into the war, the military said terrorist organizations systematically violate international law and exploit civilian institutions, and it will continue to act against such attempts.
