Israeli forces claim killing dozens of Gaza gunmen near hospital
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces have killed dozens of Paleostinian button men throughout 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 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 in the past 24 hours, including four who were spotted preparing to ambush troops near al-Amal hospital in southern Khan Younis, the military claimed on Monday.
The Times of Israel adds:
Reuters reported that Israel launched a new assault on Gaza’s main northern city, weeks after pulling back from it.

Residents told Reuters that air strikes on neighborhoods across Gaza City killed and wounded many people. While tanks shelled the eastern areas of the city, naval boats fired shells and gun rounds at the beachfront areas in the west, they said.

Israel said late last year that it had largely completed operations in northern Gaza. The push back into Gaza City, where residents reported fierce gun battles near the main Al-Shifa hospital, indicated that the war was not going to plan, Reuters claimed.

Among those killed were two Hamas Palestinian journalists, Essam El-lulu and Hussein Attalah, along with several members of their families, health officials and the journalist union told Reuters.

The IDF also advanced in its operations in Khan Younis, with troops from the 98th Division raiding the offices of a number of senior Hamas officials in the southern Gaza city, including the terror group’s chief Yahya Sinwar, the military said.

The military said that troops had “raided hundreds of terrorist infrastructures,” including a military intelligence building, and a major rocket-producing factory.

The 98th division also discovered a Hamas underground tunnel beneath a cemetery in the heart of Khan Younis, the military said.

Soldiers found explosives in the tunnel and also killed terrorists who were inside it, according to the IDF. The military said the tunnel included an office used by the commander of the eastern battalion of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade to direct its activities on October 7.

The Yahalom unit later destroyed the tunnel, which was equipped with multiple rooms, running water and sliding doors, the IDF said.

Military officials were quoted in Hebrew media saying they assess that Hamas chiefs are “perpetually on the move” in the tunnel networks of southern Gaza, “apparently surrounded by hostages.”

IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said Monday night that 2,000 Hamas fighters have been killed during the IDF’s operations in Khan Younis, and that two of Hamas’s four battalions, in the east of the city, are no longer functional. Troops are now tackling the other two battalions, in the west of Khan Younis.

He said IDF troops operating inside the tunnels have “captured terrorists who took part in the October 7 slaughter.”

GALLANT: HALF HAMAS FIGHTERS DEAD OR WOUNDED
Visiting IDF reservists on Monday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed at least half of Hamas’s fighters in Gaza have been killed or wounded.

“We’re in a long war, but in the end, we will break Hamas,” Gallant said. “Terrorists remain, and we are fighting against pockets of resistance… It will take months, not one day.”

“On the other hand, they don’t have supplies, they don’t have ammunition and they don’t have reinforcements,” he continued. “It’s hard for them to take care of themselves, of their wounded, and other things. We have killed already a quarter of the Hamas terrorists at least, and the same number are wounded.”
