Hamas took possession of seven tons of unexploded ordnance that the UN had collected in Gaza for safe disposal. According to the BBC, a UN Mines Action Team had worked in Gaza since the end of the war to collect unexploded Israeli ordnance.
The ordnance included three 2,000-pound bombs and eight 500-pound bombs as well as many artillery shells. The UN has demanded that Hamas return the ordnance immediately to be exploded in a controlled fashion.
