IDF says Hamas commandos slain; UN pans ‘systematic’ refusal of access to north Gaza
[IsraelTimes] As forces continue fighting in Khan Younis in Strip’s south and Maghazi in center, White House notes dangers of starvation amid insufficient aid to civilians

The IDF said Friday it had killed dozens of Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...

...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...
’s Khan Younis and Maghazi in the Strip’s center in the past day, as fighting in the territory continued and as Israel defended its actions at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

humanitarian office said Israeli authorities were systematically denying it access to northern Gaza to deliver aid and munitions and that this had significantly hindered the humanitarian operation there.

"The operations in the north have become increasingly more complicated," said Andrea De Domenico, head of office for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the Occupied Paleostinian Territories. "We have systematic refusal from the Israeli side of our effort to get there, to access the north."
It’s a war zone, guys. Wiser to stay out from underfoot until the battle is finished, since you international types object so to being wounded or killed.
Israeli authorities and COGAT — an Israeli Defence Ministry agency tasked with coordinating aid deliveries into Paleostinian territories — did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Israel has previously denied blocking the entry of aid.
Israel has repeatedly stated that they’ve been approving 200 trucks a day — it’s the international folks who aren’t getting them driven across the border.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told news hounds Thursday that Gazooks are facing starvation and more humanitarian aid must get in.

"We recognize that there are real food security issues in Gaza," he said. "We understand there’s a lot of hunger and starvation in Gaza."

Kirby said not enough aid trucks were getting into Gaza.

NUKHBA COMMANDERS KILLED
In Maghazi, the IDF said the 36th Division killed some 20 Hamas operatives, including a commander in the terror group’s elite Nukhba force.

In Khan Younis, the 98th Division directed an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
on a building used by Hamas, killing seven operatives, the IDF said. According to the IDF, among those killed in the strike was another Nukhba commander, who participated in the October 7 onslaught.

Also in Khan Younis, the IDF said troops of the Commando Brigade spotted three Hamas button men coming out of the home of an operative and approaching the forces. The commandos opened fire, killing the three.

‘No food shortage in Gaza,’ says IDF official, dismissing UN claims to the contrary
Tolja so.
