The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a video showing a Palestinian terrorist firing at Israeli troops from a school in Gaza, prompting the IDF to return fire and kill the terrorist.
The IDF also discovered multiple explosive devices, weapons, and terrorists from Hamas and Islamic Jihad hiding in the schools.
This incident highlights the use of civilian sites by terrorists, endangering Palestinian civilians and using them as human shields.

Additionally, the presence of explosive devices and weapons in UNRWA bags raises concerns about the agency’s role in the conflict.
The IDF wrote in a statement, “Following information regarding Hamas terrorists hiding inside schools, soldiers of the Nahal Brigade in the 162nd Division conducted operational activity in the area of the ‘Al Rafaa’ and ‘Zavaha’ schools in Tuffah in the northern Gaza Strip.”
“During the encounter with the terrorists and their elimination, the soldiers located dozens of explosive devices in UNRWA bags, Kalashnikovs and 15 explosive belts,” wrote the IDF.
