MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On February 10, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that it had discovered a Hamas tunnel under the main headquarters of UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli forces also conducted raids on the building, where they reportedly found weapons and ammunition.

"Nothing remains of UNRWA's Rehabilitation Centre for Visually Impaired.
