AK-47 rifles, grenades, and ammunition were found inside the classrooms of a school in Shejaia.

Israeli Air Force fighter jets attacked and subsequently destroyed overnight several terrorist targets in Gaza, neutralizing terrorists from both air and ground operations, the IDF said Saturday morning,

Kfir Brigade fighters were confronted by a terrorist squad near a school in Shejaia, in Gaza City. Fighters engaged in a firefight and killed the terrorists, continuing a search within the nearby school. There, the IDF uncovered several weapons in the stockpile.

Kalashnikov-type weapons, AK-47 rifles, grenades, and ammunition were found inside the classrooms.

A paratrooper brigade combat team located and destroyed a major tunnel shaft that was part of a large route of tunnels. Another tunnel was storing weapons and was complete with an elevator, according to the IDF.
