On Sunday, the IDF announced that its intelligence apparatus obtained evidence of Iranian involvement in training Hamas terrorists in the manufacturing of precision rockets and other strategic weapons.
During the raid of a Hamas site in the area of Gaza City’s Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods, Nahal Brigade soldiers and special forces unearthed a tunnel shaft leading to an underground weapons manufacturing plant.
The Israeli military says they discovered technological equipment, including components used by Hamas to build accurate missiles. To this point, it was not believed the terror group possessed that capability.
According to The Times of Israel:
The soldiers found “components proving terrorists of the Hamas terror organization learned under Iranian guidance how to operate and build precision components and strategic weapons,” the IDF says.
