Troops operating in Gaza City have discovered what the Israeli military says are technological equipment and components used by Hamas to build accurate missiles, a capability which until now the terror group was not believed to possess.

The IDF says Nahal Brigade soldiers and special forces recently raided a Hamas site in the area of Gaza City’s Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods, finding a tunnel shaft leading to an underground weapons manufacturing plant.

The soldiers found “components proving terrorists of the Hamas terror organization learned under Iranian guidance how to operate and build precise components and strategic weapons,” the IDF says.

The IDF shares images of what it says are the rocket engine and warhead of a cruise missile developed by Hamas.
