Israeli forces reveal weapons caches hidden under Palestinian mosque after raid
Fox News
Israeli forces uncovered stashes of weapons buried underneath a mosque in Jenin on Tuesday following a massive military operation involving thousands of troops.
"Places of worship should never be used as a front for terrorist activity. This is an example of the cynical exploitation of innocent civilians by Palestinian terrorist groups operating in the Jenin Camp." IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said in a statement.

The IDF's search of the mosque came at the tail end of a large Monday operation targeting the militant stronghold. Some 2,000 Israeli troops were deployed as part of the operation.
