IDF says it killed 3 Hamas operatives in Gaza over weekend, including two Oct. 7 terrorists
[IsraelTimes] Meanwhile, Israel’s COGAT denies blocking shelter materials from entering Gaza

Two Hamas

snuffies who invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught and another member of the terror group’s elite Nukhba Force were killed in recent strikes in the 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, the military and Shin Bet security agency announced Sunday.

A strike on Saturday killed Yahya Hamdouna, identified by the IDF and Shin Bet as a member of Hamas who invaded Israel on October 7.

The military and security agency said a separate strike over the weekend killed Mohammad Rafa’i, a member of Hamas’s Daraj-Tuffah Battalion who invaded Israel on October 7, and Basir al-Barsh, a Nukhba commander.

The three snuffies had been advancing attacks on troops and Israeli civilians, and acting to restore Hamas’s capabilities, "in systematic violation of the ceasefire," the joint statement said, adding that they were killed "to remove the threat."

Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Slats Chumbaloni was staring into a hole that was just .45 inch in diameter and was less than three feet from his heavily sweating face ...
COGAT, the Israeli body responsible for coordinating activity in the West Bank and Gaza, denied that it was to blame for the lack of shelter materials in the Strip.

"COGAT regularly facilitates and encourages the entry of shelter supplies into the Gaza Strip in coordination with international organizations," it said in a statement. "In the past month alone, more than 20,000 new tents have entered the Gaza Strip as part of ongoing efforts to replenish and maintain shelter stocks."

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the Defense Ministry body said that there were "genuine security concerns that Hamas could exploit certain components used to construct shelters to rebuild its terrorist infrastructure and strengthen its capabilities, as it has done in the past with resources intended for the civilian population."

Therefore, COGAT said, it works with aid organizations "to identify suitable alternatives and establish appropriate monitoring and oversight measures.

"Claims that Israeli policy is the primary obstacle to improving conditions in the Gaza Strip are not only factually inaccurate, but also divert attention from Hamas’s continued role in obstructing progress and exploiting humanitarian aid for its own political and military purposes.”

After a building collapsed last week in Gaza City, killing more than 20 people, some in the Strip alleged that a lack of heavy machinery had hampered efforts to rescue people. # id) ?>

2 As I recall, only 5,000 or so participated, Penguin, and half were civilian volunteers joining in the fun. The rest were busy with other things at home, including preparation for holding the hostages, both living and dead, and final organization for the IDF invasion that was sure to come.
