Day 108: Fierce battles in Gaza as troops push deeper into Khan Younis; 3 IDF officers killed
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of Paleostinians flee south to Rafah, as IDF accused of raiding hospital and encircling another; military says it seeks to avoid places civilians are sheltering

’s Khan Younis would intensify, fierce battles were waged Monday as the IDF launched a new large offensive on the western party of the city, in which at least three IDF officers were killed.

Four brigades, led by the 98th Division, took part in the offensive, which began Sunday with a series of Arclight airstrike

sites in the area. The IDF is aiming to dismantle Hamas’s military framework in the Khan Younis area with the new push.

A front man for the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry told Rooters Monday afternoon that at least 50 Paleostinians were killed and 100 maimed in Israeli airstrikes on Khan Younis since Sunday night.

The IDF said Monday evening that some 50 Hamas operatives, including several commanders, had been killed throughout the day by ground troops of the Commando, Paratroopers, Givati and 7th brigades.

Three officers in the Paratroopers Brigade were killed and another seriously maimed in the offensive, the military announced separately. They were killed by an RPG fired at a building they were in, military sources said.

They were named as Maj. David Nati Alfasi, 27, a deputy battalion commander from Beersheba; Maj. Ilay Levy, 24, a company commander from Tel Aviv; and Cpt. Eyal Mevorach Twito, 22, a platoon commander from Beit Gamliel.

The Gaza health ministry front man, Ashraf al-Qidra, claimed in a statement to Rooters that IDF troops had stormed al-Khair Hospital and were arresting medical staff. The IDF did not immediately respond to the claim. It has repeatedly accused Hamas of operating within hospitals and shown evidence that it used medical facilities to hide Israeli hostages.

According to media reports, Hamas’s leaders in Gaza are believed to be hiding in tunnels in Khan Younis, likely surrounded by hostages.

The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy claimed that tanks had also surrounded another Khan Younis hospital, al-Amal, which serves as the rescue agency’s headquarters.

The Khan Younis area, unlike most parts of northern Gaza, has many civilians sheltering. The IDF said in a statement that is aware of the sites where civilians are sheltering, along with hospitals, and will seek to avoid harming them amid its operations.

The military said its soldiers had encircled the Khan Younis refugee camp (historically named, with no relation to war refugees), and were beginning to maneuver into the camp, where it said several Hamas sites are located. The offensive is likely to last several more days, and will include raids of key Hamas strongholds, outposts and infrastructure in the area.

As fighting raged, many Paleostinians once again were displaced, with thousands heading south to Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where the majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are now believed to be sheltering in public buildings and tent camps.

Lines of cars and donkey carts piled high with belongings pushed south throughout Monday as Gazooks sought to flee the battles, Rooters reported.

Israeli officials have continuously vowed to continue fighting in Gaza until the Hamas terror group is toppled, though military figures have indicated that the IDF is moving to a phase of lower-intensity fighting in the Strip overall. Israel launched its war against Hamas in Gaza after thousands of the group’s murderous Moslems stormed across the border on October 7, massacring around 1,200 people and taking another 253 hostage.

The Hamas-run health ministry said Monday that 25,295 Gazooks had been killed so far in the war, an unverified figure that includes Hamas operatives as well as those killed in failed rocket launches. The IDF says it has killed more than 9,000 Hamas members. As of Monday, 198 Israeli soldiers had been killed in the Gaza ground offensive.

The IDF announced Monday that since the beginning of the war, 12,000 trucks with 1,052 tons of medical equipment have entered the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the IDF said it has facilitated the delivery of hundreds of thousands 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.

The IDF said it had also coordinated with Egypt the evacuation of hundreds of maimed Paleostinians from Gaza, who were taken to the United Arab Emirates, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

#1 When are they going to get serious and flood the tunnels first with natural gas, then a match and then water?

#2 I would just go for sea water. Many in the West would go bonkers if they blew the entire strip 100 ft in the air.

#3 The "many in the west" should be told to go fuck themselves.

#4 flood the tunnels first with natural gas, then a match

Imagine doing that at night! Explosions and jets of flame shooting into the sky from all over Gaza. It would be spectacular. And rather effective, I suspect.
