50 killed in Gaza in past 24 hours, Ministry of Health says
[NEWARAB] The health ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday at least 38,243 people have been killed in the war waged by Israel in the Palestinian enclave.

The toll includes at least 50 deaths over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said. It added that 88,033 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7.

But wait! There's more!
Israel destroys 4 miles of Gaza terror tunnels, including Islamic Jihad ‘flagship’ route

[NYPOST] The Israeli Defense Forces demolished six terror tunnels spanning nearly 4 miles underneath 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...
City on Tuesday, including one that served as the "flagship" tunnel for the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
Death Eater group, officials said.

The Israeli military detonated the vast tunnel network in the Shejaiya neighborhood, dismantling a large portion of the underground network used by Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
and other terror groups in northern Gaza — including several booby-trapped buildings, officials said.

The operation also saw Israeli troops take out more than 150 Hamas fighters hiding in and around the tunnels, with intelligence officers also locating a trove of documents and weapons.

"In some of the branches, terrorist hideouts and command and control centers were located. In one of the tunnels, weapons and intelligence documents were located," the Israeli military said.

One of the branching tunnels the IDF’s 98th Division troops found was operated by Paleostinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally that also helped carry out the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel which left 1,200 people dead.

The Islamic Jihad tunnel was described as the group’s "flagship" tunnel in Gaza City, spanning about 1.5 miles in length. It was also used by the terror group as a command base, military officials told The Times of Israel.

Other branching tunnels were located in the heart of the Shejaiya neighborhood, with at least two reaching close to the Israeli border just across from Nahal Oz, one of the kibbutzim decimated on Oct. 7, the Israeli military said.

Despite their proximity to Israel, officials don’t believe those tunnels were used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad during the terrorist attack.

After demolishing the six tunnels on Tuesday, military officials told the Times that at least three more tunnels have been located in the area and are being scheduled for demolition.

The operation in Shejaiya comes amid the IDF’s renewed fight in Gaza City after Hamas fighters returned to the area after exiting in December. The group also returned there in April.

The IDF said Monday that it was launching a new operation in the southern and western neighborhoods of Gaza City — which was the most populous city in the Gaza Strip before the war — after discovering Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives have regrouped there.

The Israeli military has once again issued an evacuation warning to cover most of Gaza City.

The call to evacuate the area garnered renewed outrage from the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
and Humanitarian groups after the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy revealed that due to the order, all of its medical clinics were out of service in Gaza City.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said that 38,000 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning the way. The ministry does not differentiate between gunnies and civilians in its corpse count.

Gaza authorities urge civilians to ignore Israeli 'death trap' evacuation orders

's government has urged Paleostinians not to follow recent Israeli evacuation orders, warning of the dangers of "death traps, murder and field executions" in the wake of repeated Israeli attacks on so-called 'safe zones' throughout the war.

The government media office released a statement late on Monday calling on Paleostinians "not to obey" the new evacuation orders to flee Gaza City, where the fighting has intensified, to the southern areas.
"We need you...as human shields"
"The Israeli occupation army published some misleading maps that call on our Paleostinian people to flee from Gaza City to the south as 'safe' areas, and these calls are false calls and carry a grave danger to the lives of citizens," the statement read.

The Israeli army over the weekend issued an evacuation order for people living in the eastern parts of Gaza City which included the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, which pushed hundreds of Paleostinians to the western neighbourhoods of the city.

Footage shared by Paleostinian journalists showed streams of families carrying belongings walking among the rubble and damaged buildings to get to the western areas.

Paleostinian journalist Bisan Owda reported from Gaza that the Israeli military had begun conducting attacks near the western neighbourhoods on Monday, despite ordering civilians to move there.

In a post on Instagram on Monday, Owda said that "dozens" of people had been killed and injured in the streets of west Gaza City, with drones and snipers sighted in the area.

The Israeli military then issued another evacuation order instructing people to move south to Deir al-Balah.

Syria: Israeli strike kills ex-bodyguard of Hezbollah leader
[NEWARAB] An Israeli strike in Syria on Tuesday killed a former personal bodyguard of Hezbollah leader, an official with the Lebanese bully boy group said.

The news comes hours after an Israeli dronezap on a car in Syria near the Syria-Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. 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...
border was reported by a war monitor and by pro-government radio Sham FM. The Hezbollah official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

The Britannia-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two members of Hezbollah were in the car were killed in the strike, while a Syrian driver is critically maimed. There was no immediate comment from Syrian authorities or from the Israeli military.

Hezbollah later identified the bully boy as Yasser Nemr Qranbish, though it did not disclose the details of his death as they normally do with combatants who aren’t in leadership roles.

Israeli Airstrike in Syria Eliminates Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah's Ex-Bodyguard and Key Terror Operative

[LI] i24NEWS: "Second terrorist killed in Syria airstrike reportedly senior official in IRGC."

With Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group escalating cross-border rocket attacks on Israel, an alleged Israeli airstrike eliminated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s ex-bodyguard, Yasser Qarnabash.

Nasrallah’s longtime confidant ,Qarnabash, was responsible for weapons smuggling operation in Syria, a major supply route for Iranian military equipment bound to Hezbollah, news report suggest.



The slain terrorist was accompanied by a senior terror operative belonging to Iran’s Islamic Guard Corps (IRGC), Israeli media reports indicate. "Second terrorist killed in Syria airstrike reportedly senior official in IRGC," the Israel TV channel i24NEWS reported.

The Times of Israel reported Hezbollah operative’s elimination:

An alleged Israeli strike in Syria earlier today killed a former personal bodyguard of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, an official with the Lebanese terror group says.

The Hezbollah official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

Earlier, Hezbollah announced the death of Yasser Qarnabash in a purported Israeli strike on the Beirut-Damascus highway, but did not detail his role or rank in the terror group.
