Senior IDF officer: We’ve managed to ‘break operational abilities’ of Hamas’s northern Gaza City brigade
[IsraelTimes] The commander of the 162nd Division, Brig. Gen. Itzik Cohen, says his forces have managed to "break the operational abilities" of Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’s northern 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 brigade, as troops gain full control of the Jabaliya neighborhood.

"The 162nd Division has operational control in Jabaliya," Cohen says. "Jabaliya is not the Jabaliya it used to be, we killed hundreds of Lions of Islam in Jabaliya and arrested around 500 suspects in terror activities, some of whom took part in the events of October 7," he says.

According to military assessments, some 1,000 Hamas operatives have been killed by troops in Jabaliya. Another 3,500 Paleostinians have been captured by the IDF, of which at least 500 are suspected of being involved in terror, including the October 7 attacks on southern Israel.

At least 70 of the estimated 1,500 Lions of Islam who carried out the October 7 attacks lived in Jabaliya, and so far 57 of their homes have been destroyed by the IDF.

The IDF says that some of the terror suspects who surrendered to troops in Jabaliya were holed up in civilian sites, including hospitals and schools.

Many Hamas sites, including training grounds, command centers, weapon production plants and tunnels, have been destroyed in Jabaliya, the IDF adds.

The 162nd Division has also located Hamas intelligence material during the operations in Jabaliya, which has helped further operations in the area.

Cohen says his division has "led to the dismantling of the military capabilities" of Hamas’s northern Gaza City brigade.

[IsraelTimes] The Foreign Ministry issues a travel warning to Israelis against visiting the Maldives, citing increased anti-Israel sentiment during the war with Hamas. The warning comes "due to the heightened anti-Israel atmosphere, including public comments by officials."

The statement recommends that Israelis refrain from visiting at this time and those already there should consider leaving.

The warning notes that should Israelis need help, the Foreign Ministry would "find it difficult to provide assistance."

Israel does not have diplomatic ties with the Moslem-majority nation, but Israelis have been allowed to visit the country famed for its island atolls.

As part of a broader travel warning issued in the wake of the war, Israel cautioned its citizens from visiting the Maldives along with other Moslem nations.

Sounds strange - unless one remembers "Special Air Service".

#2 Might want to bring in Special Boat Service, what with the tunnels being flooded and all.
