As further proof of Hamas hiding behind its own civilians including children, the forces found ammunition and explosives in a kindergarten.
The 551st brigade, said the IDF, has over the past two weeks, eliminated terrorists, searched buildings for weapons, and located and attacked hundreds of “precise” targets in cooperation with air force, engineering and armor forces.
Also, the fighters of the brigade located and destroyed many terror tunnel shafts, took control of military and even civilian buildings where a large amount of weapons, maps and intelligence materials of the terrorist organization Hamas were found.
