[IsraelTimes] Medics say local journalist, senior rescue service official and a pregnant woman among dead; army says soldier seriously injured in altercation with a comrade in north Gaza Israeli military strikes killed at least 23 Paleostinians across 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 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 oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip on Sunday, including a journalist, a pregnant woman, and a senior rescue service official, according to local Hamas ![]() -controlled health authorities. The Israel Defense Forces did not comment on any of the strikes. The latest deaths in the campaign resulted from separate Israeli strikes in Khan Younis in the south, Jabalia in the north, and Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, medics said. Israel has stepped up its air campaign in Gaza in recent days, saying on Saturday that it struck 100 targets across the territory, targeting terror operatives and sites. The military says it takes steps to minimize harm to civilians, while noting that terror groups operate from within Gaza’s civilian population. In Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, a strike hit a tent housing displaced people, killing a mother, her two children and another relative, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Civil defense front man Mahmud Bassal said five people were killed in a strike on a home in Jabalia, in the north. He added some people were still under the debris, as "the civil defense does not have search equipment or heavy equipment to lift the rubble to rescue the maimed and recover the deaders." Also in Jabalia, local journalist Hassan Majdi Abu Warda and several family members were killed by an ... KABOOM!... that hit his house earlier in the day, according to the Hamas-run civil defense agency. According to the Hamas-run Gaza government media office, Abu Warda’s death raised the number of Paleostinian journalists killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, to 220. Israel has repeatedly alleged that journalists killed in strikes were actually terror operatives who posed as news hounds; it maintains that Hamas uses hospitals, schools, shelters, and aid infrastructure as cover for terror activities. Given that the IDF collected Hamas’s HR file cabinet contents ages ago, if they say so it’s because they have proof. Two more people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in an attack targeting tents that sheltered displaced people around Nuseirat in central Gaza, Bassal added.Also in Nuseirat, medics said that an airstrike killed Ashraf Abu Nar, a senior official in the territory’s civil emergency service, and his wife in their home. The Israeli military did not respond to request for comment on any of the airstrikes in Gaza on Sunday, but did say that a recent strike in the Strip killed a Hamas terrorist who infiltrated Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught. The IDF said Ahmad Osama Hassan Al-Lahouni, who served in Hamas’s naval commando unit, was killed in a strike carried out jointly by the Southern Command, Israeli Air Force, Intelligence Directorate, Navy, and Shin Bet. Lahouni had infiltrated the Kerem Shalom area on October 7, according to the IDF. ATTEMPTS TO LOOT HUMANITARIAN AID TRUCK IN GAZA Later on Sunday, media outlets in Gaza published footage showing dozens of people attempting to loot a truck carrying humanitarian aid in downtown Gaza City. The video showed crowds trying to unload aid from the vehicle before gunfire is heard, prompting the crowd to disperse. Whether the truck ultimately reached its intended destination or was looted remains unclear. A similar incident was reported Saturday in Khan Younis, where, according to reports, dozens of people surrounded another aid truck and took its contents. On Saturday, a UAE-affiliated aid organization announced that of the 24 trucks it had sent into Gaza in recent days carrying humanitarian supplies — primarily flour and baking materials — 23 were stolen and never reached their intended destinations, such as bakeries or storage warehouses in the Strip. The armed wing of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad said in separate statements Sunday that fighters carried out several ambushes and attacks using bombs and anti-tank rockets against Israeli forces operating in several areas across Gaza. The military did not refer to any such incidents. The military has stepped up its Gaza operations in recent days in what it has described as a renewed push to destroy Hamas, calling for the evacuation of civilians from large swaths of the enclave, including the entire city of Khan Younis in the southern Strip. Gaza’s health ministry said Sunday that at least 3,785 people had been killed in the territory since the latest ceasefire collapsed on March 18, taking the war’s overall toll to 53,939 — a figure that cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 420. Red Cross says 2 of its members killed in strike on Gaza home How close to 100% probability that both were also middle management on the Hamas payroll? And that they were doing something warlike at the time they were airstruck? [IsraelTimes] The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announces that two of its staff members, Ibrahim Eid and Ahmad Abu Hilal, were killed in a strike on their home in Khan Younis yesterday.According to a statement from the ICRC’s delegation in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Eid was employed as a weapon contamination officer, while Abu Hilal was a security guard at the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah. “We extend our profound condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues. Their loss leaves a deep hole in our hearts,” the statement reads. The ICRC condemns the rising civilian death toll in Gaza, describing the killings as “intolerable” and reiterating calls for a ceasefire. They also demand the “protection of civilians, including medical humanitarian relief, and civil defense personnel.” The IDF has yet to respond to a request for comment on the incident. Hamas-run authorities say 20 killed, dozens wounded in strike on Gaza City school-turned-shelter Translation: The IDF destroys yet another Hamas command-and-control center with built-in human shields. How many of the shields were being held there at gunpoint versus the number of Hamas relatives who thought it a perk until that moment? [IsraelTimes] Hamas-run health authorities in the Gaza Strip say at least 20 people were killed and dozens were wounded when an Israeli strike hit a school housing displaced people a short while ago.Medics say the dozens of casualties in the strike on the school, at Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, included women and children, although these figures could not be verified. Some of the bodies were badly burned according to images circulating on social media, which Reuters cannot immediately verify. There is no immediate comment from the IDF. |
