IDF posts video of mosque that it says Hamas used to make and store weapons

The Israel Defense Forces shared a video of a mosque, alleging that Hamas had been using the facility to make and store weapons.

"Hamas used this mosque as a weapons storage facility and a laboratory for Hamas' rockets. Finding dozens of mortars, warhead missiles, thermobaric weapons, RPGs and a tunnel shaft," the IDF tweet about the facility declared.

The post included a video with English captions as someone walked into the mosque and showed footage of it.

"In the mosque's basement, there is a weapon storage facility, a Hamas rocket manufacturing lab, and lots and lots of explosive devices as well as explosive materials," the captions on the video read. "Hamas built entire walls to hide the lab" the captions continued, "we had to destroy them in order to expose the lab."

The Jewish state went to war last month after Hamas perpetrated atrocities in Israel, including murders, rapes, and kidnappings.

Israel has approved a temporary ceasefire with Hamas that will involve the release of some of the hostages.

"The Government of Israel is obligated to return home all of the hostages," the Israeli government noted in a statement. "Tonight, the Government has approved the outline of the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages – women and children – will be released over four days, during which a pause in the fighting will be held," the statement added. "The release of every additional ten hostages will result in one additional day in the pause."

"The Government of Israel, the IDF and the security services will continue the war in order to return home all of the hostages, complete the elimination of Hamas and ensure that there will be no new threat to the State of Israel from Gaza," the statement concluded.
