have resulted in the deaths of at least 77 Paleostinians, including six individuals seeking aid in the last 24 hours, Al Jazeera reported, citing the Health Ministry.
Additionally, the ministry indicated that two bodies were retrieved from the debris of earlier attacks. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, the ongoing war has claimed the lives of a total of 66,005 Paleostinians and left 168,162 others injured, according to the ministry's statements.
Tanks thrust deeper into Gaza, medics say many injured trapped
[GEO.TV] Israeli tanks moved deeper into Gaza City's residential districts on Sunday, as local health authorities said they have been unable to respond to dozens of desperate calls, expressing concern about the fate of residents in the targeted areas.
Witnesses and medics said Israeli tanks had deepened their incursions in the Sabra, Tel Al-Hawa, Sheikh Radwan and Al-Naser neighbourhoods, closing in on the heart and the western areas of Gaza City, where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering.
The Israeli military launched its long-threatened ground offensive on Gaza City on September 16 after weeks of intensifying strikes on the urban centre, forcing hundreds of Palestinians to flee, although many still remain.

Hamas says it has lost contact with two hostages amid IDF push into Gaza City
[IsraelTimes] Terror group claims it demanded a 24-hour lull in airstrikes to move captives to safety; Gaza City clans said to turn down Israeli proposal to form anti-Hamas enclaves
Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...claimed Sunday that it had lost contact with two hostages during Israeli operations in a pair of Gazoo City neighborhoods, as three Israel Defense Forces divisions moved deeper into the northern city in a bid to conquer it.
In a statement, the terror group’s al-Qassam Brigades armed wing said it had demanded that the IDF "withdraw to the south of Street Eight (one of the streets in Gaza City) and halt aerial sorties for 24 hours starting at 6 p.m. today so that attempts can be made to extract the prisoners (hostages)."
The statement’s apparent indication of the hostages’ exact location is unprecedented.
Both hostages were kidnapped in the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, that sparked the war in Gaza. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement that their families were working with authorities to review the Hamas statement, and asked that the names of their loved ones not be made public.
Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 48 hostages, including 47 of the 251 kidnapped by Hamas-led faceless myrmidons on October 7, 2023. They include the bodies of at least 26 confirmed dead by the IDF. Twenty are believed to be alive, and there are grave concerns for the well-being of two others, Israeli officials have said. Among the bodies held by Hamas is also an IDF officer killed in Gaza in 2014.
The Hamas statement came after the IDF said the air force over the past day struck some 140 targets, including buildings used by terror groups, operatives, and other infrastructure, while medical sources in the Hamas-run Strip reported at least 77 killed by Israel over the past 24 hours.
As Israeli tanks moved deeper into Gaza City’s residential districts on Sunday, local health authorities said they have been unable to respond to dozens of desperate calls, expressing concern about the fate of residents in the targeted areas. Witnesses and medics said the tanks had deepened their incursions in the Sabra, Tel al-Hawa, Sheikh Radwan, and al-Naser neighborhoods, closing in on the heart and the western areas of Gaza City, where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering.
Israel has instructed Gaza City residents to flee ahead of the offensive there. The military said Friday some 780,000 of roughly 1 million residents had fled so far, while Hamas’s government media office put the number closer to 190,000.
In one incident in Gaza City, troops of the Golani Brigade spotted a cell of five Hamas fighters that launched RPGs at a building where the forces were stationed, the IDF said. No injuries were caused in the attack, and the troops then directed a dronezap to kill the button men, according to the military.
Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had thought to pack sun block...
the IDF said 98th Division forces have "deepened their operational control" of Gaza City, and in the past day directed strikes on Hamas sites and operatives.
On Sunday, following an evacuation warning, the IDF said it struck a high-rise tower in Gaza City that was being used by Hamas. According to the military, Hamas set up "military infrastructure" in the building, which was used to advance attacks on Israeli troops in the area.
Israel’s ground troops also pressed on in southern Gaza, with forces from the IDF’s Gaza Division killing terror operatives and destroying Hamas infrastructure, including surveillance equipment, in the Strip’s south, the military said.
The IDF and Shin Bet also announced that a Hamas Nukhba Force commander who led the killing and kidnapping of Israelis from a roadside kaboom shelter near Kibbutz Re’im during the October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in a recent

KABOOM!...
in the Gaza Strip. According to the military, Hassan Mahmoud Hassan Hussein

Hussein was also involved in attacks on troops during the war in Gaza, the IDF says. Attawi, the other Nukba commander involved in the attack on the Re’im shelter, was killed in an Israeli strike in October 2024.
GAZA CITY CLANS BOMBED AFTER REFUSING TO GOVERN ANTI-HAMAS ENCLAVE — REPORT
Israel recently approached two large Gaza City clans about forming anti-Hamas enclaves in the city, and, after being turned down, bombed homes that belong to them, according to a report in the Saudi daily Asharq al-Awsat on Sunday.
The outlet said the Shin Bet approached representatives of the Durmush and Bakr families, both of which have remained in Gaza City, about implementing a plan to divide the city into zones controlled by gangs supported by Israel. According to the report, which cited security sources and contacts on the ground in Gaza, the Durmush and Bakr families rejected the offer, which would have required them to fight Hamas and pass intelligence to Israel.
The proposed scheme appeared to be similar to a model implemented with gangs carving out anti-Hamas enclaves in Gaza’s south that claim support from Israel.
A member of the Bakr family, who asked not to be named, confirmed the details to the paper.
According to the sources cited by Asharaq al-Awsat, the families rejected the offer on Friday. On Saturday, Israel struck several houses belonging to members of the families in Gaza City, killing about 36 people, the report said.
| Consequences. Congrats, guys, on achieving a teachable moment. |
Hamas released 30 hostages — 20 Israeli civilians, five soldiers, and five Thai nationals — and the bodies of eight slain Israeli captives during a ceasefire between January and March 2024, and one additional hostage, a dual American-Israeli citizen, in May 2024 as a "gesture" to the United States.
The terror group freed 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November 2023, and four hostages were released before that in the early weeks of the war. In exchange, Israel has freed some 2,000 locked away

Paleostinian terrorists, security prisoners, and Gazook terror suspects detained during the war.
Eight hostages have been rescued from captivity by troops alive, and the bodies of 51 have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their captors, and the body of a soldier who was killed in 2014.
Hamas terrorist who killed officer in hostage rescue op slain in IDF strike in Gaza

...
KABOOM!...
in the Gaza Strip, the Shin Bet and Israel Defense Forces announced on Saturday.
Muhammad Ahmad Yusef al-Jamal, a member of Hamas, was among those guarding hostages Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv, according to the IDF and Shin Bet.
On June 8, 2024, Israeli special forces from the Shin Bet and Israel Police’s elite Yamam unit raided an apartment belonging to Abdallah al-Jamal — Muhammad’s relative and a journalist — in Nuseirat and rescued the three hostages, in a mission later named Operation Arnon after the slain Yamam officer.
As the forces breached the building where the hostages were held, Muhammad al-Jamal shot Zmora fatally. Abdallah al-Jamal and other members of the al-Jamal family were killed during the raid, but not Muhammad.
Hostage Noa Argamani was also rescued in the operation from a separate nearby building.
Hamas’s government media office claimed at least 274 people were killed amid the operation, an unverified figure that also does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
Alongside al-Jamal, the recent Israeli Air Force strike also killed Sari Idris Muhammad al-Aqrab, a Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught and was considered "close" to al-Jamal, the Shin Bet said.
