Hamas raises head above parapets, moves to reassert power in Gaza City areas from which Israeli forces withdrew

The 20% effort that leads to 80% results is done. Now they’re working on the 80% that gets the last 20% necessary to keep Hamas from regenerating for the future. [IsraelTimes] Paleostinians say Gazoo-ruling terror group has begun deploying coppers and set up makeshift offices to distribute salary payments, leading to fresh Israeli action.
Hamas
 ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
has begun to resurface in areas where Israel withdrew the bulk of its forces a month ago, deploying coppers and making partial salary payments to some of its civil servants in Gaza City in recent days, four residents and a bigwig in the terror group said Saturday.
Signs of a Hamas resurgence in 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 ...
’s largest city underscore the terror group’s resilience despite Israel’s deadly air and ground campaign since October 7, when Hamas-led bandidos bandidos bad boys who stormed the border into southern Israel slaughtered some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and kidnapped 253. Israel has said it’s determined to crush Hamas and prevent it from returning to power in Gaza, an enclave it has ruled since 2007.
In recent days, Israeli forces renewed strikes in the western and northwestern parts of Gaza City, including in areas where some of the salary distributions were reported to have taken place.
Four Gaza City residents told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that in recent days, uniformed and plainclothes coppers deployed near police headquarters and other government offices, including near Shifa Hospital, the territory’s largest. The residents said they saw the return of civil servants and subsequent Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s near the makeshift offices.
The return of police marks an attempt to reinstate order in the devastated city after Israel withdrew a significant number of troops from northern Gaza last month, a Hamas official told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The official said the group’s leaders had given directions to reestablish order in parts of the north where Israeli forces had withdrawn, including by helping prevent the looting of shops and houses abandoned by residents who had heeded repeated Israeli evacuation orders and headed to the southern half of Gaza.
During Israel’s ground offensive, many homes and buildings were left half-standing or reduced to piles of scrap, rubble and dust.
Saeed Abdel-Bar, a resident of Gaza City, said a cousin received funds from a makeshift Hamas office near the hospital that was set up to distribute $200 payouts to babus government employees, including coppers and municipal workers.
Since seizing control of Gaza nearly 17 years ago, Hamas has been operating a government bureaucracy with tens of thousands of civil servants, including teachers, traffic cops and civil police, who operate separately from the terror group’s secretive military wing.
That doesn’t make them less evil. One of the ransomed Hamas captives tells of being held captive and tormented by a UNWRA/Hamas teacher and his family. The partial salary payments of $200 for at least some babus government employees signal that Israel has not delivered a knockout blow to Hamas, even as the military says troops have killed some 10,000 operatives in Gaza along with some 1,000 bandidos bandidos bad boys in Israel on October 7.
Ahmed Abu Hadrous, a Gaza City resident, said Israeli warplanes struck the area where the makeshift office is located multiple times earlier this week, including Saturday morning. The strikes come roughly a month after Israeli military leaders said they had broken up the command structure of Hamas battalions in the north, but that individual fighters were continuing to carry out guerrilla-style attacks.
Following an assessment in northern Gaza on Thursday, the chief of the IDF’s Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, told troops that the army will continue to battle Hamas in the area, despite having focused on other locations recently.
Each area gets its turn as needed. "Our ability to operate here, in the heart of Gaza City again, after we left to attack in other areas, our ability to return here and operate powerfully against the important targets, while striking many dozens of bandidos bandidos bad boys in recent days, is an important ability, and we will continue to do it," Finkelman said.
After each round it gets harder for the jihadis to maneuver and attack, as tunnels and caches are revealed and destroyed. The process requires repeated rounds, it seems to me, though I am just a little civilian housewife and not a highly educated journalist. His comments came after Army Radio reported the IDF was planning to bolster troop activity in northern Gaza in the coming weeks amid indications that Hamas was attempting to reestablish its military presence there, pointing to rocket fire emanating from the area on Sunday and a recent shootout near the coastline in which five Hamas members were killed.
The IDF was planning to carry out brigade-level raids on areas where Hamas is attempting to retake northern redoubts, which may include broad operations where needed, the report noted, a shift from recent weeks in which the army has been mainly concerned with hunting down weapons, tunnels and small pockets of remaining resistance.
Renewed fighting in the north would likely complicate plans to begin allowing Gazooks to return to northern Gaza, which Israel advised all civilians to leave during the first stages of the war.
The report quoted a defense source blaming the lack of plans for a civilian body to manage affairs in northern Gaza as a major factor in Hamas being able to move in to refill the power vacuum. "If there were a party able to deliver the goods for the north, Hamas would become irrelevant," the unnamed source said.
A Channel 13 news report last month said IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi had a similar assessment, warning Israel’s leaders that gains made over the months of fighting could be eroded due to the lack of a plan for postwar management.
Attempts by the government to convene ministers for conversations on managing the Gaza Strip and keeping Hamas out of power as the military pulls back have been hampered by infighting within the security cabinet.
The IDF has assessed that fighting in Gaza will likely last throughout all of 2024, as Israel works to strip Hamas of its military and governing capabilities. It has also vowed to continue fighting until all remaining hostages are released from captivity.
Meanwhile,
...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him....
combat continued in southern Gaza on Saturday, with the Hamas-run health ministry saying 107 people were killed over the preceding 24-hour period, bringing the wartime total to 27,238. The unverified toll does not differentiate between terror operatives and non-combatants, and is also believed to include civilians killed by errant fire by Paleostinian terror groups in the Strip.
International mediators continue to work to close wide gaps between Israel and Hamas over a proposed hostage release deal put forth this week, nearly four months since Hamas and other bandidos bandidos bad boys carried out their murderous onslaught in southern Israel. According to reports on the proposed agreement, the return of the Israeli hostages would be accompanied by extended pauses in the fighting and Israel’s release of Paleostinian security prisoners.
Hamas officials said Friday they were studying the proposal, but appeared to rule out some of its key components.
IDF withdraws another reservist brigade from Gaza, replacing it with other troops already in northern Strip
[IsraelTimes] The IDF has withdrawn the 5th Brigade from Gazoo and it has been replaced with other forces in the northern part of the Strip, the military says.
Troops of the reserve infantry brigade operated in Gaza City’s Shati camp in recent weeks.
In the last week, the IDF says the 5th Brigade located a tunnel shaft with an elevator beneath a Hamas
 ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
hideout apartment.
The reservists also seized military equipment used by Hamas and intelligence documents, and destroyed weapons, as well as rocket launchers.
The IDF has been withdrawing much of its reservist forces from the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, leaving the standing army to continue the fighting against Hamas.
Military officials say the IDF aims to release reservists to help bounce back Israel’s economy and give them a break before they are likely called up again, as the fighting in Gaza is expected to last all year, and there are fears of an escalation in the north amid daily attacks by Hezbollah.
