Hamas targets Israeli forces in Gaza cities
[GEO.TV] Paleostinian button men kept up attacks against Israeli forces on Sunday 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 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...

still maintains some control ahead of any potential truce.

Nearly four months into the war triggered by the October 7 attacks, there was persistent fighting in Gaza City in the north of the densely populated enclave, and in Khan Younis in the south.

Israel said last week its main focus was now Rafah, on the southern border with Egypt, which has piled pressure on the hundreds of thousands of Paleostinian civilians who have fled their homes elsewhere and are sheltering there.

The advance on Rafah is also a worry for Cairo, which has said it would not admit any influx of Paleostinian refugees in what it describes as a bid to prevent any permanent dispossession.

An Israeli official told Rooters, however, that the military would coordinate with Egypt, and seek ways of evacuating most of the displaced people northward, ahead of any Rafah ground sweep.

Paleostinians reported Israeli tank shelling and air strikes there, including one that killed two girls in a house.

As mourners bade farewell to the dead children, a relative, Mohammed Kaloub, said the air strike hit a room full of women and kiddies in Rafah's al-Salam neighbourhood.

"There is no safe place in Gaza, from the wire fence to the wire fence [borders from north to south], there is no safe place," he told Rooters.

After conducting partial pullouts from Gaza City in the past few weeks that enabled some residents to return and pick through the rubble, Israeli forces have been mounting incursions. Before dawn on Sunday, air strikes destroyed several multi-storey buildings, including an Egyptian-funded housing project, residents said.

The Israeli military said it killed seven Hamas fighters in northern Gaza and seized weaponry. Israel's Army Radio said troops in the area were trying to penetrate two Hamas bunkers, a mission it said could take two weeks amid resistance by the Islamist faction.

"Gaza City is being wiped out," one resident who asked not to be named told Rooters, adding, "The [Israeli] pull-out was a ruse."

In Khan Younis, overnight Israeli shelling killed three Paleostinians, medics said. Residents reported street fighting raging in western and southern areas of the city, where Israel said a soldier was killed in a Paleostinian attack on Saturday.

Troops in Khan Younis seized a Hamas commander's compound and killed several button men as well as a grenade- and knife-wielding Paleostinian, the military said.

Israel last week announced the "dismantlement" of Hamas in Khan Younis. An Israeli official later clarified to Rooters that, of four Hamas battalions originally there, one remained.

Thousands of Paleostinians are feared lost amid Gaza ruins. Munir al-Bursh, director of the Gaza health ministry, said dozens of decomposing bodies were recovered from northern areas evacuated by Israeli forces.

Israel says it has killed some 10,000 fighters in its campaign against Hamas.
