IDF strikes targets in southern Gaza Strip
2020-08-25
[Jpost] "Recently, IDF fighter jets, tanks and aircraft attacked military bases and underground infrastructure of the Hamas terrorist organization in the southern Gaza Strip,” the IDF said in a statement.

The IDF struck targets in the southern area of 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 Hamaswith 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 the IDF said in a statement, confirming initial Paleostinian reports.

According to the Paleostinian reports, explosions were heard at the same time IDF aircraft entered the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

"The IDF conducts an ongoing situation assessment and acts firmly and resolutely against any attempt to carry out terrorist activity against the citizens of the State of Israel and the violation of its illusory sovereignty."

The strike came in the early hours of Tuesday morning, following at least 36 fires that were started in the Gaza envelope, on Monday.
The Times of Israel adds:
There were no immediate reports of casualties.

On Monday, a senior Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, official told the pro-Hamas channel Paleostine Today that the surge in violence would continue until their demands on lifting the blockade were met.

"It is our right to break this siege," Ismail Radwan said.

Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on Gazoo

since Hamas ousted the Paleostinian Authority in 2007, in order to prevent it importing weapons for attacking Israel and material used to construct fortifications and underground tunnels. Israel also frequently tightens restrictions in response to violence from the Strip.

Also Monday, four members of 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...
were killed in an apparent bomb-making accident in the Gaza Strip.

After explosions were reported in a PIJ military wing compound in the northern Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya, Paleostinian media initially attributed the earth-shattering kabooms to Israeli Air Force strikes. But Hebrew media, citing Israeli security officials, denied any Israeli connection to the incident, adding that it appeared to have been a "work accident."

The terror group subsequently announced that four of its fighters, Iyad Jamal al-Jidi, Muataz Amir al-Mubid, Yahya Fareed al-Mubid and Yaaqoub Zaydieh were killed in the blast during "preparations to remove the criminal entity from our occupied land."

In recent days the IDF has responded to the dozens of arson balloons and intermittent rocket fire with near-nightly reprisal raids on Hamas targets in the Strip, bombing underground infrastructure, weapons production facilities, cement factories used to make parts for tunnels, and observation posts along the border.

The situation in the Gaza Strip was poised to become even more volatile as Hamas announced Monday that it had identified four new cases of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, the first not caught in the quarantine centers located along the border of the coastal enclave for those entering the Strip.

Unsure how the four family members managed to contract the virus, Hamas declared a 48 hour lockdown over the entire enclave in an effort to identify the source of the outbreak and contain it.
