3 reserve soldiers killed in northern Gaza as IDF presses offensive in Jabaliya
Continuing to degrade Hamas’s present and future ability to attack Israel, destroying weapons, tunnels, above-ground strongpoints, and manpower.
[IsraelTimes] Palestinian Red Crescent reports 28 killed in strike on Hamas command post at former school; military says Hamas commanders who took part in Oct. 7 targeted in Wednesday airstrike

The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that three reserve soldiers were killed amid fighting in the 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 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, where the military launched a fresh ground offensive this week to prevent Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
from reestablishing itself in the area.

The three, all soldiers in the 5460th support unit of the 460th Brigade, were named as:

  • Master Sgt. (res.) Ori Moshe Borenstein, 32, from Moreshet.

  • Maj. (res.) Netanel Hershkovitz, 37, from Jerusalem.

  • Master Sgt. (res.) Tzvi Matityahu Marantz, 32, from Bnei Adam.

Their deaths bring the number of Israeli troops killed in the ground offensive in Gaza to 353.

The announcement came as the IDF said troops were pressing ahead with the operation in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, where according to a military statement they killed dozens of terror operatives over the previous 24 hours. The statement said troops captured weapons including rifles, RPG launchers, and ammunition.

On Thursday, the military struck another alleged Hamas command post at a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah. The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said the strike on the Rufaida school complex killed 28 people and maimed 54 others, without differentiating between civilians and combatants.

"Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence," the military said in a statement.

Israel also noted that Hamas and other terror groups have routinely used schools, shelters and other protected facilities for their operations, with the civilians there serving as human shields. The IDF vowed to continue striking terror operatives wherever they are, while making efforts to minimize harm to nearby civilians.

Witnesses quoted by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named said the strike occurred while school managers were meeting with representatives of an aid group in a room normally used by Hamas-run police who provide security. They said there were no police in the room at the time.
And in the rest of the building? How many Hamasnik casualties were there in the school complex, pray tell?
The Paleostinian branch of Terre des Hommes, a Swiss aid group, said in a statement that members of one of its children’s health teams were killed in the strike, though it did not specify how many.
Let us look serious while we ponder how many Hamasniks were also members of the Terre des Hommes children’s health team, because it always turns out that these people were double dipping. Often also dipping their wicks in the local wimmin’n’kiddies, though nice people refuse to notice their friends and colleagues partaking until their noses are rubbed in it by those horrid gentlemen of the gutter press.
According to the military, troops eliminated numerous button men, uncovered weapons and demolished military infrastructure in ground operations in central Gaza on Thursday. In southern Gaza’s Rafah, forces located and destroyed rocket launchers, weaponry, and underground tunnel shafts used by terror operatives, the IDF said.

Also Thursday, a small drone was launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel and downed by the IDF as it crossed the border, the military said. No one was hurt in the incident.

Along with the ground operations, the Israeli Air Force hit around 30 Hamas targets in Gaza over the past day, according to the military, which said the strikes targeted terror cells, weapon stockpiles, launchers, buildings, underground infrastructure and other assets of terror groups.

Meanwhile,
...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung...
the UN children’s agency announced Thursday that Israel had agreed to "humanitarian pauses" in specific areas of Gaza to facilitate a second round of polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
vaccinations for some 590,000 children under the age of 10. Israel has yet to comment on the announcement.
