More aid flows into Gaza by air, land as IDF continues cleaning out Hamas jihadis
|
[IsraelTimes] Israel continued to carry out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s across Gaza on Tuesday, as troops briefly came under mortar fire, and Paleostinian media reported that Israeli special forces kidnapped one Gazook man to Israel from the central city of Deir al-Balah.
Innocent people are “arrested”. Jihadis are “captured”. Or “killed” — that’s also a good choice. At the same time, Western countries and the UAE airdropped some 97 tons of food into the enclave, following some 300 trucks that entered on Monday over land, and Spain said it had evacuated dozens of sick or maimed children from the territory over the past several months.
Separately, an Israeli dronezap on central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah on Monday targeted several Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

operatives, the military said. No further details were given by the IDF on the strike. Paleostinian media reported a strike in Deir al-Balah on Monday night that killed five people.
Gazook media reported Tuesday that on Monday, Israeli special forces driving a Volkswagen minibus kidnapped a Paleostinian, said to be named Ismail Abd al-Karim Khattab from Deir al-Balah, taking him toward the Kissufim corridor area, where Israeli forces are deployed, and then into Israel. As the Israeli forces returned, intensive strikes were carried out in Deir al-Balah, according to the reports, which were unconfirmed and lacked additional details.
It sounds like he was quickly but thoroughly questioned, and the resulting information informed the IDF unit’s next steps. Separately, troops of the 188th Armored Brigade came under mortar fire in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and directed an Israeli Air Force drone to hit a building from which the projectiles were launched, the IDF said, publishing footage showing the latter strike.
The Hamas
 ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
-run Gaza Health Ministry said Tuesday that 89 Paleostinians had been killed by Israeli fire in the past 24 hours.
Witnesses and medics said Israeli bombardments overnight killed seven people in two houses in Gaza City’s Zeitoun suburb and another four in an apartment building in the city center.
In the south of Gaza, five people, including a couple and their child, were killed by an Israeli airstrike on a house in the city of Khan Younis and four others by a strike on a tent encampment in nearby coastal Mawasi, medics said.
The IDF said it was looking into the reports of the latest bombardments and that its forces were taking precautions to mitigate civilian harm.
HAMAS AUTHORITIES SAY FIVE MORE DEAD FROM MALNUTRITION
The ministry also reported that five people, including two children, had died of starvation and malnutrition in the Strip over the previous 24 hours.
Prove it. The odds are high that those who died had genetic disorders, just like the ones they claimed were starved to death before. The new deaths raised the number of deaths from the same causes to 227, including 103 children, since the war started, according to the agency.
Again, prove it. Israel said Tuesday that Hamas has been lying about Paleostinian deaths from malnutrition, and that most of those verified to have died — a fraction of the number reported — had preexisting medical conditions that significantly led to their deaths. Israel denies the allegations of widespread starvation and has said it makes efforts to allow sufficient aid into Gaza.
More than sufficient, given how many of them are morbidly obese. But facing heavy international pressure, the government recently greatly increased the flow of supplies, after having barred aid altogether for 11 weeks between March and May. Aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, Germany, Belgium, La Belle France, and Italia airdropped 97 pallets of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the IDF said, noting that each pallet contains around one ton of food.
Denmark’s foreign minister told news hounds the Scandinavian nation will also send a plane to airdrop aid to Gaza soon.
Since July 26, when Israel adopted a new policy to let more aid into the Strip, over 1,000 humanitarian aid packages have been airdropped in the Gaza Strip by at least 12 countries, including Israel, according to the military.
”Whatevs. Waste your money, see if we care.” The packages the IDF airdropped were supplied by international aid groups. But airdrops are only able to deliver a small fraction of what can enter Gaza by land. They also pose safety risks for the civilians who can be hit by the packages from above.
270 TRUCKS ENTER GAZA ON MONDAY
Amid the airdrops, some 300 trucks carrying humanitarian aid — about half of what the UN says must be distributed each day — entered the Gaza Strip on Monday through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said.
According to COGAT, over 270 trucks worth of aid were collected by the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
and other international organizations to be distributed.
"Additionally, tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems," COGAT added.
Spain has evacuated 44 maimed or ill children from war-torn Gaza along with about 100 of their relatives over the past several months, the Spanish government said Tuesday. Four separate evacuation missions were carried out in coordination with international organizations and allied nations, Spain’s migration ministry, which led the operations, said in a statement. The children and their families have been relocated across Spain to receive medical treatment, it added.
Those brought to Spain will be eligible to apply for asylum.
And we wish you full joy of them, though we feel sorry for your females and children who’re already being treated like uncovered meat. Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government has been among the most vocal critics in the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
Gaza airdrops contain weapons, member of Netanyahu’s party claims
[IsraelTimes] MK Moshe Saada of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party claims, without evidence, that aid airdrops by countries in Gaza contain weapons shipments.
“The humanitarian aid is arming and funding Hamas,” Saada tells the Kan public broadcaster in a radio interview. “Has anybody checked the airdrops? It’s clear to everyone that they contain ammunition.”
He adds that Israel must occupy the entire Strip because “only that way does one win a war.”
For Trump administration, US airdrops of Gaza aid were never a serious option — sources
[IsraelTimes] During US President Joe Biden’s administration, the US military carried out waves of airdrops of food into Gaza, delivering some 1,220 tons of assistance.
But the option hasn’t been seriously considered by Donald Trump’s administration, US officials and other sources say, even as he voices concern over starvation in Gaza amid Israel’s nearly two-year-old military campaign against Hamas.
One source says it is seen as an unrealistic option because airdrops would not come close to meeting the needs of 2.1 million Palestinians.
This comes even as close US allies, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Britain, have carried out airdrops of assistance to Gaza.
Humanitarian aid groups have long been critical of airdrops of aid, calling them more symbolic than truly effective when the scale of the need in Gaza requires open land routes for large amounts of aid to enter the enclave.
The heavy packages could also present a danger to civilians on the ground rushing toward the parachuting aid.
“It just hasn’t been part of the discussions,” says one US official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal Trump administration deliberations.
A source familiar with the issue says: “It hasn’t been a serious consideration because it’s not really a serious option at this moment.”
Some US officials war-gamed the option and found “it’s absolutely unrealistic,” says the source familiar with the matter. The source says it is unknown how “big a lift capacity” could be managed even if the Israelis approved US use of the airspace.
A diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity, says he is unaware of any US interest in participating in the airdrop effort.
Another official in a US-allied country which is taking part in the airdrops says there have been no conversations with the United States about Washington taking part in the effort.
The official adds that the United States is not providing logistical support for the airdrops being carried out by other countries.
Asked for comment, a White House official says the administration is open to “creative solutions” to the issue.
“President Trump has called for creative solutions ‘to help the Palestinians’ in Gaza. We welcome any effective effort that delivers food to Gazans and keeps it out of the hands of Hamas,” the White House official says.
