Reservists of the Yiftah Brigade operating in central Gaza’s Maghazi camp located

Reservists of the Yiftah Brigade operating in central Gaza’s Maghazi camp located a weapons manufacturing plant and a nearby rocket launcher armed with projectiles, the IDF says.

The IDF says the troops raided a Hamas site in Maghazi, where they located machinery used to build firearms in the yard of a home. Nearby, a rocket launcher was found, it says.

The machinery, weapons, rockets, and rocket launcher, were all later destroyed.

Amid the operation, the IDF says Hamas operatives fired an RPG at one of the unit’s tanks. The soldiers spotted the squad behind the attack, returned fire, and called in an airstrike, it says.

Some of the operatives were killed, while at least one fled and was later killed in a gun batt;e with troops, after being spotted by the Yiftah Brigade’s observation company.
