The IDF launched an operation to return military equipment left in civilian hands after the fighting days. Operation data as of yesterday: over 100,000 rifle and machine gun bullets, over 1,660 explosive items and weapons, about 118 weapons, and over 1,270 textile and clothing items. The deputy logistics officer of Central Command, Lt. Col. A., explains that the equipment is inspected and if intact will be returned to use, otherwise scrapped. ATL commanders report unusual incidents: a civilian arrived with an explosive device scene – connected demolition charges with an activation system, and police sappers neutralized them over three and a half hours. Also, a small vehicle brought ammunition crates with hundreds of bullet chains and grenades. The IDF is pleased with the response and emphasizes that the return is anonymous and no questions asked. The article uses a headline that creates a curiosity gap ('and didn't expect what came'), but the body mainly describes a routine process with a few examples of dangerous items.
