Two Israeli soldiers were killed during fighting in the northern 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 oppression and disproportionate response ...
Strip on Saturday, the military announced. The slain troops were named as Staff Sgt. Itay Parizat, 20, from Petah Tikva, and Staff Sgt. Yair Hananya, 22, from Mitzpe Netofa. Both served in the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion.

the IDF announced Saturday that, according to the latest assessments, Israeli troops have killed some 900 terror operatives during an ongoing operation in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, which began last month.
Another 700 Paleostinians have been detained, among which at least 300 have so far been confirmed to be members of terror groups, according to the IDF.
In Gaza City, the IDF located and demolished a large underground weapons manufacturing plant operated by Hamas. The IDF said that by demolishing the tunnel and seizing the equipment, it "foiled another attempt by the Hamas terror organization to rearm."
Throughout the war, Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stressed that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
Also on Saturday, the IDF denied claims made by the World Health Organization and Hamas that it had carried out a strike against a vaccination center in Gaza City earlier in the day, wounding six.
"We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care center in northern Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving 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. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a post on X.
"Six people, including four children, were maimed," he added.
The WHO chief did not specify who carried out the strike, but a source in the Hamas-run civil defense agency tells AFP that it allegedly was "an Israeli quadcopter that fired two missiles which hit the wall of Sheikh Radwan clinic."
In response to a query on the matter, the IDF said it was aware of claims that civilians were hurt at the vaccination center, but contrary to the reports, it said that no Israeli strike had been carried out in the area at that time.
"Today, a vaccination operation began, in coordination with the IDF via COGAT, and in cooperation with the international community, within which the population is allowed to safely reach the medical centers where the vaccinations will be given to the population," the military said.
"We are aware of a claim about the harm to Paleostinian civilians at the Sheikh Radwan vaccination center in the northern Gaza Strip. Contrary to what was claimed, a preliminary investigation reveals that there was no strike by IDF forces in the area at the time in question," the IDF said.
The IDF added that it "emphasizes that the Hamas terror organization deliberately fires from civilian areas, systematically violates international law, and cynically exploits the civilian population as a shield for terror acts against the State of Israel."
According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, 43,314 Paleostinians have been killed and 102,019 injured in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 18,000 combatants in battle and another 1,000 hard boyz inside Israel on October 7.
