Soldiers operating in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza located Hamas sites for the production and storage of munitions, including missiles, the Israel Defence Forces said on Tuesday.
As part of the activity, soldiers raided the homes of Hamas operatives. In addition to the weapons, Israeli forces also seized maps which included a significant tunnel route, intelligence findings and photos of armed children dressed in Hamas uniforms.
During a search of one building, a rocket lathe with hundreds of missiles and a truck designed for transporting the launchers was found.
Meanwhile, Hamas terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at central Israel on Tuesday afternoon. The rockets set off sirens in Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Jaffa, Rishon LeTsiyon, Ramat Gan and other cities and communities.
It was the first rocket-fire on the area in over a week. There were no initial reports of injuries or damage. Earlier in the day, the IDF announced that it killed a prominent Hamas financier in an air strike in Rafah.
