IDF Daily Recap

SOUTHERN ARENA:
The IDF continues with its combined aerial, ground and naval operations in 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...
, with the goal of dismantling Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
. As IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, stated yesterday, the Israeli Air Force, Israeli Navy, Intelligence Directorate and ISA along with our forces who are currently operating within Gaza City, are applying a great deal of pressure on Hamas.

To date, the IDF struck over 14,000 terrorist targets, has destroyed over 100 terrorist tunnels, and has confiscated over 4,000 weapons, many from inside mosques, kindergartens, residential buildings and otehr civilian areas exploited by Hamas.

The IDF has focused on eliminating senior and tactical Hamas leadership. In one such example, the IDF and ISA eliminated Hamas’ Head of Weapons and Industries, Mohsen Abu Zina, yesterday. Abu Zina served as Hamas’ leading weapons developer and had expertise in the field of strategic weapons and rockets.

Overnight, IDF troops identified a terrorist cell planning to fire anti-tank missiles. The troops called in an aerial strike on the cell, eliminating several terrorists. IDF troops also directed an aircraft to a strike on a terrorist cell responsible for launching rockets toward Israel. Several bully boyz were eliminated in the strike.

NORTHERN ISRAEL
The IDF is continuing to be on high alert on the northern border and is responding to any attacks against Israel. On Wednesday afternoon, IDF soldiers struck a number of anti-tank missile launching posts belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Two IDF soldiers were maimed when forces of Evil launched an anti-tank missile toward the area of Dovev. The IDF responded with artillery fire toward the origin of the launch.

Two rockets were launched towards Shtula and Yiftah in northern Israel. The IDF responded with tank and artillery fire toward the source of fire. No injuries were reported.

HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITY
The IDF is continuing to deliver Humanitarian aid to southern Gazoo
. In recent weeks, hundreds of trucks of aid including equipment, water, food and medicine have been delivered to Gaza. Yesterday, 96 trucks entered Gaza, including 5 with medical supplies, 31 with food, 8 with water, 19 with supplies for shelter and 23 more. In addition, the IDF opened another evacuation corridor today for civilians in northern Gaza to move south from 10:00-14:00. Some 50,000 Gazooks utilized the corridor to move south.
Note that Israeli soldiers are protecting Gaza civilians from Hamas.
OTHER ARENAS:
The hostages are carrying the IDF and are their motivation in order to do everything in their power to be successful.

The IDF has notified the families of the 349 IDF soldiers who have fallen in defense of the State of Israel. There have also been IDF injuries due to the past few weeks of fighting.

KEY LINKS:
The Military Intelligence Directorate revealed a conversation between a Gazan resident and a Hamas terrorist, which demonstrates Hamas’ exploitation of ambulances.



The Times of Israel adds:
Hagari updates the number of confirmed hostages in the Gaza Strip to 239, down from 240. He says the number is not final as the military investigates new information, including the identification of bodies of missing people.

Netanyahu dismisses ‘idle rumors’ about imminent ceasefire for hostage deal

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeats the Israeli policy that there will be no ceasefire in Gazoo

without the release of hostages.

"I want to put to the side all sorts of idle rumors that we are hearing from all sorts of directions, and repeat one clear thing: there will be no ceasefire without the release of our hostages."

Netanyahu appears to be dismissing a growing slew of reports from Qatar

itself that a deal is imminent for the release of 10-15 hostages from Israel in exchange for a multi-day pause in fighting.

40 Filipinos flee Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing with Egypt

[IsraelTimes] Dozens of Filipinos fled from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip into Egypt through the Rafah crossing after Filipino diplomats negotiated for their safe passage and Qatar mediated for the border to be opened, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says today.

The 40 Filipinos are traveling to the Egyptian capital of Cairo, where they plan to take flights back to the Philippines, Marcos says in a video message in Manila. Two Filipino doctors managed to leave the Gaza Strip into Egypt last week.

Most of at least 134 Filipinos in Gaza, many of whom are married to Palestinians, have sought help to leave the besieged territory and are waiting for an opportunity to leave, the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila says.

American nurse who left Gaza describes kids with burns, starvation in Strip

[IsraelTimes] Emily Callahan, an American nurse who was in Gaza with Doctors without Borders (MSF), describes the reality in southern Gaza before she managed to cross through Rafah into Egypt a week ago. She evacuated to Khan Younis, where she shared a shelter with 35,000 internally displaced in a single complex.

“There were children with just massive burns down their faces, down their necks, all over their limbs,” she tells CNN.
That’s because Hamas likes having human shields, whose protection they leave to the powerless UN.
Callahan says food and water were desperately low, and the MSF staff had to count calories by the end. “We would have either starved to death or run out of water” were it not for her local staff, she says.
Had Hamas not started the war, Gaza would not be besieged. They had a ceasefire and open border crossings on October 6th.
There were four toilets for the tens of thousands of Gazans, she adds.
Hamas prioritizes war tunnels over amenities for civilians. Say — how is the huge poo pond doing in the midst of all the excitements?
Callahan says that her personal safety was compromised, as angry locals accused her and her local staff of being Israelis or being traitors.
Yeah, well maleducated mobs be like that, dood.
“My heart is in Gaza,” she says, “it will stay in Gaza.”
But you didn’t want to stick around, care for the millions of suffering, and risk having your heart cut out and paraded through the joyous crowds? Hypocrite.
I think she means she has no heart
