EXCLUSIVE – Israel’s army recently found damning documents, video footage and photographs of Palestinian children used by two U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as trained fighters.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) told Fox News Digital that the material seized in Gaza’s Khan Younes during the ongoing war is recent and reveals “the involvement of minors in terrorist activities.” 

The IDF added that a telling example of Hamas’ exploitation of Palestinian kids was, “The transfer of explosives from place to place in Gaza by children, in vegetable bags and placing them in the Hamas ambushes.”

Fox News Digital obtained video from the IDF that reveals for the first time a Hamas operative escorting children into a terrorist tunnel during a summer camp exercise.
