(Worthy News) – In what the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) say is “additional proof” that the Hamas terror group uses its own Palestinian civilians as human shields, IDF soldiers on Tuesday recovered one of Hamas’ “largest stockpiles of weapons” they have found so far in the Gaza Strip, between a clinic and a school close in the center of of a residential neighborhood, Ynet News reports. The weapons were seized by the IDF.

According to the IDF, the stockpile contained hundreds of rockets and RPG launchers, long-range rockets, UAVs, and ready-to-use explosive devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, dozens of anti-tank missiles, dozens of explosive charges, long-range rockets aimed at the center of the country with the ability to reach the heavily populated Sharon region, and dozens of grenades, Ynet reports.

“This is additional proof of Hamas’ cynical use of the residents of the Gaza Strip as human shields,” the IDF said in a statement.

Lt.-Col. Tomer, commander of the IDF’s 50th Battalion, told reporters: “Last night, the 50th Battalion Combat Teams found many weapons in the area we are currently in. Among the means of warfare, you can see many hundreds of anti-tank missiles, as well as other strategic means, such as unmanned aerial vehicles and long-range missiles.”

“We are in the heart of a residential neighborhood – you can see we are in the midst of a very large school district,” Tomer emphasized.
