at 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...
City’s Shifa Hospital, where the military said it has so far identified and detained hundreds of confirmed terror group members hiding within the medical facility.

Sgt. First Class Lior Raviv was killed Saturday during the operation targeting Hamas Lions of Islam at Shifa, the IDF said. Raviv, 21, of Nahal Brigade’s 932nd Battalion, was from the central city of Rishon Lezion.

Raviv is the 252nd IDF soldier to be killed during the ground operation in Gaza since the start of the war October 7, and the third in the renewed operation at Shifa. He is survived by his parents and three siblings.

Shirli said that Raviv had been selected to command a group of recruits still in training, but when the war broke out he was called to the front lines. He was slated to be buried on Sunday afternoon at the Rishon Lezion military cemetery.

The IDF’s nearly weeklong operation at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital is ongoing, with the military saying that among some 800 suspects detained by troops so far, 480 of them have been confirmed to be members of the Hamas or Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

terror groups.

Troops also located infrastructure and caches of weapons belonging to terror groups over the past day, the IDF said.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of embedding itself among the civilian population in Gaza, including using hospitals and medical centers as part of its military operations. The IDF has provided evidence it says backs up the claims and that would make Israeli raids on hospitals legitimate under international law.

Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck some 65 targets in northern and central Gaza over the previous day, which the IDF said was part of support for maneuvering ground forces. The targets, according to the IDF update on operations in Gaza, included an attack tunnel, buildings used by Hamas where terror operatives were gathered, and other infrastructure.

A strike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis targeted a site used as a staging ground where several operatives were gathered, the IDF said, while a building in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, which was a threat to troops, was targeted by another aircraft.

In central Gaza, the IDF said troops of the Nahal Brigade killed several Hamas button men over the past 24 hours, including with sniper fire.

Nahal troops also raided a drone manufacturing lab in central Gaza, where the IDF said soldiers killed several button men.

In southern Gaza, the 7th Armored Brigade killed several button men with sniper fire, combat engineers destroyed a rocket launcher, and an aircraft struck infrastructure belonging to a terror group.

The IDF and Shin Bet security agency said the military also launched a new offensive against Hamas in the al-Amal neighborhood of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis overnight. The raid, led by the 98th Division, is aimed at "continuing dismantling the terror infrastructure and eliminating Lions of Islam in the area," the IDF said.

As the operation began, Israeli fighter jets carried out strikes against some 40 Hamas targets in the area, including buildings used by the terror group, tunnels, and additional infrastructure. The division’s Commando Brigade, Givati Infantry Brigade, and 7th Armored Brigade then encircled al-Amal, where they are currently battling Hamas button men.

The IDF previously operated in the al-Amal area last month.

The military also provided updates on its ongoing operation against Hamas in southern Gaza’s al-Qarara, close to Khan Younis, where troops have targeted sites belonging to the terror group near the border with Israel. The IDF said troops located and destroyed caches of weapons and several sites belonging to Hamas, killed numerous button men with tank shelling, and "neutralized the threat adjacent to the [border] fence."

During the raid, a Hamas weapons depot with a tunnel shaft beneath it was targeted in a helicopter strike.

Ahead of the operation, the IDF said the Air Force struck several sites and Hamas operatives who were gathered at hideout apartments and near troops in the al-Qarara area.

The Hamas-run health ministry said Sunday that at least 32,226 Paleostinians have been killed and 74,518 have been maimed in Gaza since October 7, an unverified figure which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. Israel says said it has killed more than 13,000 Hamas members in Gaza fighting.
