The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has said it has uncovered Hamas weapons under childrens’ beds and other civilian environments, saying that “Children should be surrounded by toys and books, not weapons.”
The Israeli Forces made this known in a media message on its X handle @IDF while alleging that Hamas mistreated Palestine civilians for war purposes.
The statement reads, “Once again, more evidence of Hamas’ cynical mistreatment of Gazan civilians.
“During an IDF operation in the outskirts of Jabaliya, our troops found a large number of weapons and ammunition hidden under children’s beds and inside bedrooms in a civilian building linked to a senior Hamas operative. Children should be surrounded by toys and books—not weapons.” The statement added.
In a similar development, IDF posted that, “Following indisputable evidence indicating the Shifa Hospital served as a Hamas command and control centre, the director of the hospital was apprehended and transferred for questioning by the Israeli Army.
“Not only did Hamas exploit the hospital’s electricity and resources to build and sustain an extensive network of terrorist tunnels under it, its terrorists also sought refuge there immediately after committing the massacre of October 7, taking Israeli hostages with them.” The statement added.
