| [GEO.TV] 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 a rusty 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 oppressionand disproportionate response... 's civil defence agency said at least 37 people were killed by Israeli fire on Saturday, including 30 civilians who were waiting to collect aid. Civil defence front man Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 12 people were killed and nearly 200 maimed when Israeli forces opened fire on them as they gathered near a border crossing in northern Gaza that has been used for aid deliveries. Six more people were killed and 30 maimed after Israeli troops targeted civilians assembling near an aid point in central Gaza, he said. Strikes in central Gaza also resulted in multiple casualties, according to Bassal, while a drone attack near the southern city of Khan Yunis killed at least three people and maimed several others. Two nephews of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya said killed by Israeli shelling in Gaza City; IDF says 106 tons of humanitarian aid airdropped into Gaza Saturday [IsraelTimes] Two nephews of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza City, the Hamas mouthpiece al-Risala reported. According to the report, Abd al-Salam al-Hayya and Mu’az Abd al-Salam al-Hayya were cutting firewood in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya when they were killed by Israeli shelling. Hayya leads Hamas’ negotiating team and is based in Doha. Thousands of Palestinians congregate daily near food distribution points in Gaza, including four managed by the controversial US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been plagued by near-daily shooting incidents that have seen hundreds killed as they try to reach the GHF distribution centers. The United Nations says more than 1,300 people have been killed trying to obtain aid supplies in the enclave since the GHF began operating in May, most of them shot by Israeli forces operating near GHF sites.
The deadly incidents are not limited to GHF sites. In recent weeks, images of starving Palestinians, particularly children, have alarmed the world, ramping up international pressure on Israel to enable more aid into the coastal enclave, where war has been raging since the devastating Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Among the steps that Israel agreed to take to improve the humanitarian situation in the Strip was the resumption of airdrops into the Palestinian enclave. While the decision was welcomed abroad as a step in the right direction, airdrops are only able to deliver a small fraction of what can enter Gaza by land, and pose safety risks for civilians due to the possibility of being hit by packages from above. The IDF said aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Germany, the Netherlands, and — for the first time — Greece and Italy, had airdropped 106 pallets of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. Each pallet contains around one ton of food. Since July 26, when Israel allowed airdrops to begin anew, over 1,000 humanitarian aid packages have been airdropped in the Gaza Strip by 12 countries, including Israel, according to the military. The packages the IDF airdropped were supplied by international aid groups. IDF says it killed deputy commander of Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion, who participated in Oct. 7 onslaught [IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has confirmed that it killed the deputy commander of Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion during operations in the town in the northern Gaza Strip this past month. The deputy commander, Murad Abu Jarad, served as the de facto commander of the Beit Hanoun Battalion during most of 2024, the military says, adding that he was involved in numerous attacks on troops and that he participated in the October 7, 2023, onslaught. In a separate operation, the military says it killed the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s anti-tank missile unit in the terror group’s Gaza City brigade, Mohammed Dardawasi, who also participated in the October 7 onslaught. In another strike, the IDF says it killed several Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives who were involved in rocket fire and sniper attacks. IDF says it destroyed rocket launcher in northern Gaza that fired at Nir Am Thursday [IsraelTimes] The IDF Artillery Corps’ elite Sky Riders Unit, together with troops of the 401st Armored Brigade, destroyed a primed rocket launcher in northern Gaza yesterday, after it was used to fire a rocket at Nir Am, the military says. It says that the launcher had been primed to fire several more rockets at Israel before it was destroyed. Elsewhere in Gaza, the IDF says troops of the 36th Division are continuing to operate in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, where they “destroyed underground infrastructure and eliminated terror cells that posed a threat to the forces.” Additional forces in southern Gaza located and destroyed several tunnel shafts in the past 24 hours, the IDF adds. At the same time, it says the 282nd Artillery Regiment destroyed a weapons depot, and the 990th Reserve Artillery Regiment hit buildings that posed a threat to troops in the Shejaiya and Zeitoun neighborhoods of Gaza City. | |
