Hamas welfare - every house gets a booby-trap!

Israel Defense Forces troops this week uncovered a school in the Gaza Strip rigged by Hamas militants with a large amount of explosives.

The school, located next to a Gaza zoo, was entirely surrounded by a fuse connecting to the explosives. Inside the abandoned classrooms, IDF troops found a number of weapons.

"We are continuing to confront a mad reality of boobytrapped tunnels, boobytrapped schools," IDF spokeswoman Avital Leibovich said. "In one district of 150 houses, more than 30 were boobytrapped. Hamas boobytraps every house that residents leave."

Leibovich said residential neighborhoods in Gaza are riddled with homemade bombs and booby traps, including mannequins placed at apartment entrances to simulate militants and rigged to explode if soldiers approach.
