The IDF's 202nd Battalion found, next to a baby crib, anti-tank missiles, military vests, munitions, and knives in a residential apartment in Deir-al Balah in the Gaza Strip on Monday.

This was while the military's 7th Brigade had expanded operations on the outskirts of the Palestinian city.

Israeli forces in the brigade also eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists and struck over 100 terror targets via aerial operations in the past two weeks.
