[IsraelTimes] Missile intercepted, another hits open area, no damage; Hamas officials say 15 killed in strike on Jabalia house; 127 Gazans brought out of Gaza via Israel for medical care in UAEGazoo ...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 oppressionand disproportionate response... terror groups continued to fire rockets at Israel with a pair of missiles launched at southern border areas at the start of the new year. One of them was intercepted while the other hit an open area, the Israel Defense Forces said. Military operations saw several reported IDF strikes, with Hamas  ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...claiming at least 20 killed. After nearly 15 months of fighting since Paleostinian terror group Hamas led a devastating massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, there appeared to be no let up in the ensuing war at the start of the new year. At midnight, two rockets were launched from the central Gaza Strip at the southern Israeli city of Netivot, the IDF said. There were no reports of injuries in the attack, which was claimed by Hamas. Later, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, Avichai Adraee, tweeted a warning for residents of central Gaza’s al-Bureij to evacuate ahead of expected ... KABOOM!... s, after the midnight rockets were fired from the area, as 2025 began. "Terrorist organizations are once again firing rockets from this area," says Adraee. "For your own safety, move immediately to the humanitarian zone." In an update from on the ground, the IDF said troops operating in southern Gaza’s Rafah located and destroyed a rocket manufacturing facility. The find was made by reservists of the Kiryati Brigade, which has been operating in Rafah under the Gaza Division for the past month. At the site, the military said the troops found medium-to-long-range rockets, along with other weapons. Israel also reported that 127 Gazooks, most of them children and their caregivers, departed Gaza for medical treatment in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday. COGAT, the Israeli department in charge of humanitarian aid  to Gaza, said the Paleostinians left the enclave after security checks at the Kerem Shalom Crossing, where they entered Israeli territory. They were then taken to the Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport from where they flew to receive medical treatment in the UAE. The project was carried out in international cooperation with the UAE and the World Health Organization participating, COGAT said in a statement, adding "It is an additional medical—humanitarian step made possible in the context of Israel’s humanitarian policy in the Gaza Strip.""We stress that this humanitarian action is another of the efforts led by the State of Israel together with the UAE as the nations deepen their ties under the Abraham Accords and in excellent cooperation with Romania and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... ," the statement said. COGAT said that in recent months, Israel has "eased conditions of exit for medical treatment in third countries." As a result, the unspecified period has seen 23 groups numbering 1,055 patients and caregivers pass through Kerem Shalom to 13 different countries abroad. Israel, it said, "is thankful for the UAE’s leadership of this important humanitarian project, as it is for all the humanitarian efforts advanced in the Gaza Strip by international aid organizations and third countries in coordination with Israel since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip." Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... in Gaza, local authorities reported that 15 people were killed in a strike on a house in the town of Jabalia. Gazook officials do not differentiate between civilians and fighters when providing causality figures. "Fifteen people were martyred and more than 20 were maimed" in the strike on a house where displaced people were living, according to Mahmud Bassal, front man for the Hamas-run civil defense agency. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reported strike. Since October 6, the military has been conducting a major land and air offensive in northern Gaza, particularly targeting Jabalia and its adjacent refugee camp. The military says it is an effort to prevent Hamas gunnies from regrouping there and that it has killed hundreds of fighters. A separate Israeli strike on Wednesday targeted a group of people in the al-Manara neighborhood of Khan Younis, in Gaza’s south, killing at least four people, civil defense said. Another strike overnight in the built-up Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza killed a woman and a child, according to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which received the bodies.
