Israel Defense Forces troops confiscated some 70,000 terrorist assets from the Gaza Strip and the border region since the Oct. 7 Hamas-led massacre almost one year ago, the military revealed on Sunday.
Among the assets seized, the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Intelligence and Technical Haul Collection Unit confiscated some 1,250 ammunition rounds and anti-tank missiles, as well as 4,500 explosive charges.
Some of the Hamas terrorist assets retrieved by Israeli soldiers will be put on display this week for diplomats, visiting researchers and the foreign press at the IDF Technological and Logistics Directorate base in Tzrifin, near Rishon LeZion in central Israel.
The exhibition includes vehicles and equipment with which the terrorists infiltrated the Jewish state on Oct. 7, among them trucks, motorcycles and tractors. Also on display are Hamas terrorist uniforms, intelligence documents, rockets, missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The exhibit, which will run at least until the end of the week, was established to mark the “anniversary of the murderous massacre on October 7 … with the aim of exposing it to the world,” the IDF stated.
Israeli forces are on high alert ahead of Oct. 7, with military intelligence indicating the possibility of rocket fire, including towards Tel Aviv and the central region, Israel’s Kan News broadcaster reported on Sunday.
Alongside increased counter-terror operations in the Gaza Strip, the IDF’s Southern Command reinforced troops on the border with the enclave, the military said on Sunday. IDF units are “prepared in defense and attack for several scenarios during the coming month, along with the safe facilitation of memorial events” in border towns.
“The fighters are ready to defend the area in cooperation with local security forces, police and Magen David Adom to provide a complete response to various incidents in the sector,” the IDF said.
