TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Turkish media, the explosive engineering teams of the Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip are continuing their efforts to identify and safely dispose of explosive remnants of war left behind by the Zionist army following the ceasefire that ended the recent conflict in the Palestinian enclave.
These remnants include unexploded munitions such as artillery shells and grenades, as well as exploded ordnance and weapon fragments.
Mohammad Meqdad, head of the explosive engineering division, stated that since the ceasefire began on Sunday, the division has conducted 170 missions to locate and remove unexploded ordnance in residential areas of Rafah city, located in the southern Gaza Strip.
Meqdad explained that the teams first identify the unexploded munitions in homes and residential areas, conduct initial inspections, and then either safely dispose of them on-site or transport them to secure locations away from populated areas for dismantling.
