[IsraelTimes] Military claims to find proof of children being trained with weapons in Khan Younis school; WHO abandons attempt to bring medical aid to northern part of Strip amid safety risks

Intensive fighting took place in southern 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...

targets in the area, as the Hamas-run health ministry said that 73 Paleostinians had been killed by Israeli forces in the last day.

The targets struck by fighter jets in the last day were "significant," the IDF said on Monday morning, adding that their destruction will "help the forces that are maneuvering in the area to continue fighting." According to the military, the targets included underground sites, weapons depots and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.

In recent days, the infantry division of the 7th Armored Brigade successfully uncovered a tunnel shaft next to a school in Khan Younis, as well as other pieces of terror-related infrastructure in residential neighborhoods, the IDF revealed on Monday.

During an expanded maneuver inside the dense southern Gaza city, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade uncovered explosives, guns, grenades, radio devices and intelligence documents in offices and infrastructure located next to civilian homes, the military said.

After discovering a tunnel shaft next to a school in the same area, the army said troops uncovered toy Kalashnikov guns and photos documenting the weapons training that children at the school had been made to undergo.

During the operation, several RPG missiles were fired at the troops, who in response directed tank fire and an Arclight airstrike

at the terror cell responsible, the IDF added.

Elsewhere in Khan Younis, ground troops engaged in battles with snuffies embedded in the city, directing dronezaps against targets as fighter jets operated overhead, the IDF said.

Troops from the Maglan commando unit spotted a group of more than 10 Hamas operatives at a rocket launching site inside Khan Younis and directed a dronezap against them, while the Paratroopers Brigade spotted a Hamas operative in a building and directed an airstrike against it. A short while later another operative was spotted in the building, and was killed by the troops, the military added.

In addition, troops of the 55th Reserve Paratroops Brigade identified a Hamas operative coming out of a building while "collecting intelligence on the force," the IDF said, and confirmed that an attack helicopter struck the operative a short while later.

Troops operating across the Gaza Strip uncovered vast amounts of weapons belonging to Hamas throughout the night.

In central Gaza, the IDF said reservists of the 179th Armored Brigade located a tunnel shaft, and found in it thousands of dollars and weapons, and in the Maghazi area of central Gaza, the IDF said Golani troops directed an airstrike on a Hamas weapons depot, where the terror group stored long-range rockets.

troops of the Kfir Brigade located a car being used by Hamas operatives that contained weapons as well.

Amid the fighting in central and south Gaza, 73 people were reported by the Hamas-run health ministry to have been killed by Israeli forces and airstrikes in the past 24 hours, and an additional 99 were said to have been injured.

The number included eight people killed in an apparent strike near Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, the health ministry said, although the IDF did not immediately comment on the strike.
