In a harrowing operation conducted by the 551st Brigade's combat team in a Gaza school, IDF soldiers made a disturbing discovery. Stuffed bears, typically associated with innocence, were found to conceal sniper weapons and ammunition. This revelation exposes the alarming strategy employed by Hamas, transforming schools into hubs for their operations.

The unsettling findings extended beyond the stuffed bears, as other classrooms revealed concealed weapons, some ingeniously hidden within UNRWA bags. This revelation underscores Hamas's ruthless exploitation of educational institutions, raising significant challenges for the IDF in distinguishing between civilian spaces and sites used for military activities in the complex urban environment of Gaza.
