Israel kills five in West Bank, arrests brother of tunnel attack terrorist
[Jpost] The IDF forces operated on Friday night in Hebron as part of an extensive wave of arrests which led to the arrest of Qutaiba Omar al-Qwasma, whose brother carried out the attack on the tunnel road in Jerusalem earlier this week.

Documentation of the attack near Jerusalem was released on Friday.

In addition, a Palestinian was killed during the activity of the IDF soldiers in Tubas, according to Palestinian media.

FOLLOWING INCIDENCES IN THE WEST BANK AND GAZA
Hours later, five terrorists were killed in Nablus in the West Bank after an airstrike on the Balata refugee camp, including the camp commander.

IDF bulldozers have since entered the Batala Camp and demolished monuments of terrorists.

Earlier, about 26 Palestinians, mostly children, were killed in an Israeli bombardment of Khan Yunis city in south Gaza early on Saturday, the Palestinian news agency WAFA said.

In the north, the IDF stated around the same time that air fighters successfully intercepted an air-to-surface missile fired from Lebanon towards an IDF drone.

s also resulted in massive destruction to homes and infrastructure, the official Paleostinian Wafa news agency reported on Friday.

According to Wafa news agency, four non-combatants were killed in an Israeli airstrike which targeted a house in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Additionally, several people were killed and injured in the Israeli shelling of a house in the nearby town of Bani Suhaila, located to the east of the city.

Furthermore, at least 18 civilians, including children and women, bit the dust in an airstrike that targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

In the northern region of Jabalia, a densely populated city, dozens of non-combatants were killed and injured as Israeli warplanes relentlessly targeted residential squares with a series of airstrikes.

The assault extended to the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital, with the Israeli occupation forces intensifying their bombardment in the area.

With all hospitals in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip out of service due to the dire conditions at the Baptist Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, the situation has become increasingly critical. Tank incursions by Israeli occupation forces around the Jordanian Field Hospital have also added to the challenges faced by medical teams.

Gaza has also been cut off from the outside world, with a complete disruption of landline and mobile telecommunications and internet services. The Israeli blockade, the depletion of fuel necessary to operate key network components, and the ongoing massacres across the Gaza Strip have contributed to the isolation and deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the region.

Since the beginning of the continuous Israeli aggression on Gaza on October 7, nearly 11,500 Paleostinians, including over 4,700 children and 3,155 women, have been killed, with nearly 29,000 others maimed.

’s main hospital, as a new communications blackout in the territory on Friday compounded fears for Paleostinian civilians trapped inside the facility.

Al-Shifa hospital has become a focal point for Israeli operations in northern Gaza since soldiers raided the complex on Wednesday, hunting for a command centre they say turban group Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
operates there.

Hamas and hospital managers deny that charge, and there has been international concern about several thousand people -- including maimed patients and premature babies -- believed to be trapped inside.

Israel’s air bombardment and ground operation has killed 11,500 people, including thousands of children, according to Hamas-run local authorities in Gaza.

Thick dark smoke rose over the northern Gaza Strip on Friday, an AFPTV live camera showed.

Israeli authorities have defended their operation, and the military claimed Thursday it found rifles, ammunition, explosives and the entrance to a tunnel shaft at al-Shifa.

were suspended again on Friday due to shortages of fuel and a communications shutdown, deepening the misery of thousands of hungry and homeless Paleostinians.

The United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) said civilians faced the "immediate possibility of starvation" due to the lack of food supplies.

Paleostinian news agency WAFA said a number of Paleostinians were martyred and others injured in an Israeli strike that hit a group of displaced people near the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt — the transit point for aid.

Al Jazeera TV cited sources as saying that nine people were martyred in the strike. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the reported strike and Rooters could not verify it.

WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain said nearly the entire population was in desperate need of food assistance.
Yes, that Cindy McCain
"Supplies of food and water are practically non-existent in Gaza and only a fraction of what is needed is arriving through the borders," she said in a statement.

"With winter fast approaching, unsafe and overcrowded shelters, and the lack of clean water, civilians are facing the immediate possibility of starvation," McCain said.

every two days after a request from Washington, amid acute shortages that threatened aid deliveries and communications in the besieged strip, Israel and US officials said on Friday.

Israel imposed a strict blockade on all goods entering Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
-controlled Gaza when it launched a military campaign in response to the Paleostinian bad boy group's October 7 rampage, in which they killed 1,200 people and took 240 hostages.

Israel has since agreed to allow in aid trucks after stringent inspections, and a small amount of fuel was allowed in on Wednesday to keep United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) aid delivery trucks moving.

An Israeli official who declined to be identified said two trucks a day would be allowed in to meet the UN's needs, but said the amount would give "minimal" support for water, sewage and sanitary systems in Gaza to prevent pandemics.

A US State Department official, offering more details, said Israel had committed to allowing in 120,000 litres (31,700 gallons) of fuel every 48 hours for UNRWA's trucks and other needs like desalinisation of water, sewage pumping, bakeries and hospitals in the south of Gaza.

An additional 20,000 litres (5,280 gallons) every two days would be allowed in to power generators of telecoms company Paltel, which had warned of an imminent blackout of its cellphone network due to lack of fuel.

authorities, out of the total 12,000 martyred people, 5,000 are children and 3,300 are women.
Also 17,000 are Hamasniks and an additional 34,000 are imaginary. These numbers are also unverified, but Palestinians operate on the one, two, many system of counting, so that’s no surprise.

Having some difficulty finding corroboration for this.
Stay tuned.

Link goes to the Fox News liveblog of events on November 17th linked to the Israel-Gaza war. Keep scrolling for all the details.
The Israel Defense Forces released video of its Arrow 3 air defense system launching to intercept a missile fired in the Red Sea region.

The IDF announced the first Arrow 3's successful operational interception on Nov. 9, when it shot down a ground missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen. The historic launch of this exo-atmospheric missile is the first time wartime combat has taken place in space.

The Arrow-3 Interceptor missile was developed in a joint venture by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA). It is the most sophisticated of Israel's air defenses, designed to target incoming ballistic missiles.

In August, Israel announced the sale of its Arrow 3 system to Germany for $3.5 billion in a U.S.-approved deal. Israel sought approval for the deal from the U.S. State Department because the system was jointly developed by the two countries. Israeli defense officials said the system would extend Germany’s defense capability while strengthening the defense relationship between Israel and the United States.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Israeli airstrikes destroy Hezbollah arms depot near Damascus
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Israeli air strikes killed two pro-Iranian fighters near the Syrian capital Damascus early on Friday during raids targeting a Hezbollah arms depot and other sites near Syria's capital, a war monitor said.

Israel has hit targets in Syria several times in the past weeks as regional tensions rise over the Israel-Hamas

...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.

Strip.

Citing a military source, Syria's state news agency SANA earlier reported "material damage" from the strikes.

"At around 2:25 am (1125 GMT), the Israeli enemy carried out an aerial aggression from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights targeting several positions in the vicinity of Damascus," SANA said.

The military source did not provide details on the targets but added that Syria's air defense intercepted some of the Israeli missiles.
"We intercepted them with an Arms Depot"
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of sources in Syria, said "two imported muscle" from pro-Iran

groups were killed.

Several others were maimed, it added.

The strikes "destroyed an arms depot belonging to Hezbollah," the Iran-backed Lebanese group fighting alongside Syria's regime, the Observatory said, adding the bombardment occurred along the road to Damascus airport.

The Observatory added that "sites linked to Hezbollah and pro-Iran militias" near the airport were also targeted.

Israeli strikes last month put Syria's two main airports in Damascus and Aleppo out of service several times over two weeks, and the Damascus terminal remains out of operation.

On November 8, Israeli air strikes killed three pro-Iran fighters as they hit sites belonging to Hezbollah near Damascus, the Observatory reported at the time.

Since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, when the Iran-backed Hamas fighters stormed out of the Gaza Strip, Hamas ally Hezbollah and allied Paleostinian factions have exchanged fire with Israeli forces across Leb

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
