As part of the intelligence effort focused around Hamas sites for producing weapons and weapons components, elements were found that prove that the terrorists of the terrorist organization Hamas learned how to operate and build precision components and strategic weapons under Iranian guidance, gaining technological knowledge in the field.
During the raids, many terrorists were eliminated in the area in close encounters with the brigade's fighters and in attacks by the brigade's fire array via remotely manned aircraft and combat helicopters.
Earlier today, it was announced that on Saturday, forces from the Golani Brigade identified and eliminated a number of Nukhba terrorists while loading weapons into a vehicle, while forces from the Nahal Brigade located and destroyed a launch site from which rockets were fired into the Ashkelon area.
