A long-range rocket ready for launch, a chemical substance used for launching rockets, a command box edited for remote operation, and Jihad documents - this is just some of what the 99th Division fighters found in Gaza.
The IDF announced today (Saturday) the destruction of a series of workshops for the production of explosives in the Zeytun neighborhood.
Dozens of machines for the production of rockets and weapons were located: lathes, machines for the production of rocket fuel, warheads, launch pits and explosives.
More than 800 rockets can be made from the amount of chemical substances and equipment confiscated.
The activity was carried out by the fighters of the 646th Brigade and 179th Brigade combat teams, under the direction of the Intelligence Division.

The army stated that "the rocket production process consists of several stages. Hamas chose to separate the stages and hold them in different locations in the area, in order to make it difficult for the IDF forces to locate and destroy them."
"These raids and attacks on production sites cause significant damage and harm to the munitions manufacturing industry of Hamas and Islamic Jihad," it said.
