Components of long-range rockets capable of reaching northern Israel, mortar shells, IEDs and ammunition were found in the area. The lathe is connected by underground shafts to an extensive network of tunnels intended to transport weapons to all the battalions of the Hamas terrorist organization deployed throughout the Gaza Strip.
