Israel eliminates 130 Hamas tunnels in Gaza as airstrike kills weapons maker
2023-11-09
[NYPOST] The Israeli military on Wednesday said it destroyed an infamous Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
tunnel network that spans hundreds of miles below the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip — as air strikes reportedly took out a key weapon maker for the terror organization.

More than 130 tunnel shafts underneath Gaza were blown up by combat engineers who are "destroying the enemy’s weapons and are locating, exposing and detonating tunnel shafts," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other leg......
above-ground bombardments killed Hamas weapons maker Mahsein Abu Zina, the Israeli military said.

IDF troops also discovered a structure with multiple car batteries sitting next to several tunnel entrances which they believe was used to power the tunnel’s air filtration systems.

Israeli soldiers also captured a Hamas training camp in northern Gaza, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari wrote on X.

Within the camp were several tunnel entrances, all of which were destroyed.

Troops also discovered a staging group, where Hamas operatives were planning out an attack.

One shot of a tunnel located next to a school run by the UNRWA, the refugee organization that deals specifically with Paleostinians, features a dark, black mushroom cloud of smoke rising into the air.

Troops from the IDF’s 551st Brigade demolished the tunnel, which was located in northern Gaza.

The IDF’s mission to eliminate all of Hamas’ tunnels has been met with heavy resistance from Hamas fighters, with Israeli officials saying at least 33 Israeli soldiers have been killed.

Meanwhile,

are ongoing as officials work to secure the release of 10 to 15 hostages held captive by Hamas in exchange for a 48-hour humanitarian pause in Gaza.

Qatar, where numerous Hamas leaders are based, has been leading mediation efforts since the terror group launched its surprise incursion on Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians as well as hundreds of young people attending an outdoor music festival.

Ever since, Israel has heightened its assault on Gaza, where 10,569 people have now been killed, of which 40% were children, according to Paleostinian officials.

#8  I thought the metric systemâ„¢ was supposed to clear all that up.

#7  Anon1 has a point in that many attempts have been made, in the past 1000 years, to defang Islam.

However, that was then and this is now. Back in March 2023 the Islamic Fatwah Council issued an anti Hamas Fatwah. Before that national councils in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates issued anti Muslim Brotherhood statements (not quite Fatwahs). So there is some momentum in the de fanging direction.

IMO, once Islam loses its fangs, it pretty much loses a lot of its power and becomes, maybe not a nothingburger but close to it.

And once it loses its fangs, Muslims can critically exam its scriptures (plenty of translations exist not just of the Quran but the Haditha, the Sunna and other works) and see the major problems (there are many of these).

#6   (mutually uncomprehensible) Syrian vs. Egyptian dialects respectively.

Fair enough. Mr. Wife was taught Arabic by a West Banker at Berlitz, which was fine in Saudi Arabia, but while the written language is the same across the Arab world, in Morocco he had to resort to his high school French to be understood.

Exactly like Chinese in China, Elmaper McGurque1612. Except instead of pictograms, Arabic uses letters to make up their words, but reading it aloud is not related to sounding out the letters. It’s no wonder so many are illiterate!

Are the written versions mutually intelligible? Various speakers of Chinese dialects can communicate in writing (and sometimes even by writing in the air with a finger).

#3  Grom dear, is not the local language of the Palestinians Arabic?

#2  ^Not sure. I think we should try removing Arabic influence from Islam before giving up on it. Once there is Quaran in local language, the locals will start noticing things.

#1  You can kill every last Hamas member, flood the tunnels and a new Hamas will simply appear
Unless you get rid of Islam then you will never get rid of it
So idk wth they can do, because muslims will die before they give up islam
So you have 2 competing genocides
Either israel is destroyed
Or islam is removed from gaza
Islam cannot be reformed, either. Many tried.
