IDF tells Gazans to evacuate some Khan Younis neighborhoods in wake of rocket attack

[IsraelTimes] Signaling fresh offensive, army publishes list of areas in southern Gaza city whose residents should leave for their safety; troops find, destroy major Islamic Jihad rocket factory
The Israeli military on Monday called on Paleostinians in eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis to evacuate the area and head toward the designated "humanitarian zone," likely preceding a renewed ground offensive in the southern 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.
The Israel Defense Forces pulled out of Khan Younis in April after operating there for four months, similar to its withdrawal from the northern Gaza Strip earlier in the campaign against Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
. The IDF has since returned to those areas to carry out smaller, localized operations, and looks set to repeat this in the southern city.
Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, published a list of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement, including the Khan Younis suburbs of al-Qarara and Bani Suheila, the Abasan neighborhoods, the town of Khuza’a, and several other areas.
The move came after the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group fired a barrage of at least 20 rockets from the Khan Younis area at Israeli border communities, in the largest volley in at least seven months.
"Fear and extreme anxiety have gripped people after the evacuation order," said Bani Suhaila resident Ahmad Najjar. "There is a large displacement of residents."
UN Secretary-General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
’s front man said "it just shows yet again, that no place is safe in Gaza, more efforts need to be made to protect civilians."
Further south in the city of Rafah, Islamic Jihad’s largest rocket manufacturing site found to date was located and demolished, the military said.
The IDF said troops of the Commando Brigade, 401st Armored Brigade, and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit raided an Islamic Jihad compound and underground site in Rafah’s northwestern Tel Sultan neighborhood, where they found a subterranean facility used by the Hamas ally to manufacture rocket parts and long-range rockets. According to the IDF, the facility was used to build hundreds of projectiles in recent years. During the raid on the site, the IDF said the commandos and elite combat engineers battled button men above and below ground, killing several operatives using drones and guided missiles.
In central Gaza, the military said troops recently located and destroyed a kilometer-long tunnel in the Netzarim Corridor area where the IDF controls an East-West strip that divides the territory in two. The IDF said the tunnel — located by troops serving under the 99th Division — included several branching paths that were used by terror operatives to move around the area. The tunnel was blown up by troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.
Also in the Netzarim Corridor, the 99th Division’s forces — the Alexandroni Reserve Infantry Brigade and 8th Reserve Armored Brigade — killed dozens of button men and destroyed more than 100 sites belonging to terror groups in the past two months — since being deployed there — according to the military. The IDF said the sites included weapon depots, observation posts, rocket launching sites and tunnels.
The army also said a recent Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
was carried out against a mosque that was used by button men as a staging ground, and that it identified secondary blasts following the attack, indicating the site was used to store weapons.
The Netzarim Corridor, built around a road south of Gaza City, enables the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza while allowing Israel to control access to the north for Paleostinians seeking to return after fleeing south. It also enables Israel to coordinate deliveries of humanitarian aid directly to northern Gaza.
’A YES, BUT’
As mediators attempt to jumpstart talks for a hostage deal, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
 ...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
said Monday that Hamas’s June response to the latest Israeli ceasefire proposal can "most charitably be described as ’a yes, but,’" with the terror group "trying to impose new conditions, moving the line, actually coming back on positions that it had already agreed to and trying to get more."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile asserted Monday that Israel was "progressing toward the end of the phase of eliminating Hamas’s terror army."
"There will be a continuation in order to strike the remnants," Netanyahu told students from the National Defense College, pledging that Israel will achieve all its war aims.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says close to 38,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 15,000 combatants in battle and some 1,000 murderous Moslems inside Israel during the October 7 attack.
| Despite all the reports about IDF kill counts, the official number hasn’t changed in ages, in contrast to Hamas’s ever-increasing official toll of imaginary deaths. |
319 troops have been killed during the ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border. The toll includes a police officer killed in a hostage rescue mission. A civilian Defense Ministry contractor has also been killed in the Strip.
It is believed that 116 hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released prior to that. Seven hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 19 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military.
The IDF has confirmed the deaths of 42 of those still held by Hamas, citing new intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza.
One more person is listed as missing since October 7, and their fate is still unknown.
Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed in 2014.
