IDF troops operating in southern Gaza uncovered a store of weapons stored in a UNRWA school complex, which also included a mosque and a medical clinic, the IDF announced on Thursday.
During searches, a hidden explosive in a shaft underneath a civilian clinic exploded on IDF troops.
The hidden explosive device killed the three IDF soldiers, St.-Sgt. Amir Galilove, St.-Sgt. Uri Bar Or and St.-Sgt Ido Appel that the IDF confirmed on Wednesday.
Many weapons were discovered during the operation, including firearms, grenades, and enemy uniforms.
The IDF located shafts leading to a vast network of tunnels inside the classrooms at the school.

Tunnel searches in Rafah The IDF has been increasing its operations in Rafah, searching for Hamas tunnels running into Egypt.
Over the past week, over 20 tunnels have been discovered in the Philadelphi corridor, which runs along the border.
Egypt has for years claimed to have done all it could to destroy Hamas's smuggling tunnels and has been strenuously denying that it has any knowledge of the tunnels Israel is uncovering.
IDF explained to Israeli media on Wednesday the situation on the ground: "It doesn’t mean that we have boots on the ground across all of the corridors, but it means we can control and we have the ability to cut off the oxygen line that Hamas has used for replenishing and movement in and around that area."
The Israeli government has been strongly pushing for controlling the corridor as the best means of cutting off the supply of weapons to Hamas.
Surely the meant weapons placed by the IDF to make hamas-sholes look evil. No?
They put them in hospitals, schools, playgrounds, mosques, and every where else. Based on all of the surveys taken of the Muzzies there, it seems close to 100% of them are for the mass murder of Jews and destroying Israel and support Hamas or any Arab/Muzzy group that will try and do so.
I really hate to say this, but basically going to come down to either completely eradicating them from Gaza, the West Bank, and every where else within Israel or they need to be exported to Jordan which was the original two-state solution in 1922 after the creation of Mandatory Palestine in 1920. 80% have family in Jordan.
HAMAS spokesman: we keep weapons at the school to train young children. This is no different than what the Republicans in the USA are always wanting to do to support the 2nd Amendment. /S
Jordan does not want them. They tried to overthrow the government in the 1969-1970 time frame. These people have made themselves toxic to the rest of the world.

Dang Eagles fans.
The West Bank is not fighting in the current war. There's been some skirmishes. But nothing like the last Intifada.
With the Muslims the war is ALWAYS on no matter how “peaceful” they may be on the surface.
