The Israel Defence Forces or IDF claimed that a mosque in Gaza was used
as a weapon storage facility and a laboratory for Hamas’ rockets. To support
their claim, they shared a video.
The laboratory was concealed behind a wall which the forces had to demolish
to uncover the tunnel which led to a hiding place of the terrorists and a
laboratory, claimed the IDF.
Apart from different types of mortars, rockets and explosive materials,
rocket sketches were found drawn on the whiteboard, the video claimed.
“Holy places, such as mosques, should not be used as fronts for
terrorism… what was once a place of worship is now a home for terrorism,” the
caption of the video read.
The shocking claim came after the IDF claimed to have found a Hamas base
and hostages under Gaza’s largest hospital Al-Shifa Hospital.
