According to Israeli media, soldiers from the IDF's 8226 battalion (reserve paratroopers) located an old lathe used for producing rockets in the Rafah area of southern Gaza. The troops are continuing intelligence-based sweeps for Hamas weapons, rockets, and explosives.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this afternoon, the Paratroopers Brigade found the lathe. The latest report identifies the specific battalion and emphasizes the intelligence-driven nature of the ongoing searches.
The operation is part of broader IDF efforts to dismantle Hamas weapons manufacturing and storage capabilities in the Gaza Strip. Similar weapons-production equipment has been seized in other theaters, including the West Bank and Lebanon, as The Zioneer has previously covered.
