IDF soldiers uncovered and demolished numerous terrorist strongholds, both above and below ground, dismantling dozens of tunnels, seizing hundreds of enemy weapons along the border, and recovering crucial documents abandoned by the terrorists.
Some of the weapons seized included anti-tank mines, rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, and fake rocks with explosives hidden inside.
Some of the Hamas terrorist assets retrieved by Israeli soldiers will be put on display this week for diplomats, visiting researchers and the foreign press.
The IDF is systematically destroying all terror facilities in Gaza to prevent Hamas and other terror groups from re-arming.
