Israeli forces operating in the Tel al-Sultan area of Rafah discovered a Hamas weapons cache hidden inside UNRWA humanitarian aid bags, the IDF announced on Sunday.
The cache was located approximately 80 meters from a former school and 100 meters from a building that served as a hospital, according to the military. The 205th Brigade also dismantled dozens of terror infrastructure sites, eliminated multiple Hamas terrorists, and neutralized several booby-trapped houses during the operation.
Nothing says 'humanitarian aid' like aid bags filled with Hamas bullets.

This discovery follows previous instances where Hamas utilized UNRWA facilities for military purposes. In July 2024, IDF commandos uncovered a significant weapons cache and a command center used by Hamas at the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City.
The IDF emphasized it will continue to act against terrorist organizations in Gaza to safeguard Israeli civilians.
