Israel military seizes Hamas funds and intelligence from Gaza bank as it suggests operations may continue further south

2024-02-03

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Israeli forces raided a bank in central 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...

...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
funds and intelligence documents as leaders indicate their offensive may continue further south.

and documents testifying to the terrorist organization’s method of transferring funds were found," the IDF said in a statement.

More fun for Israel’s forensic accountants!

More than 20 bad boyz were potted over the last day in western Khan Yunis, the IDF said on Friday morning. Israeli forces targeted "a number of different terror targets and compounds" where rifles, grenades, bombs, military equipment, and ammunition were found.

"We are completing the mission in Khan Yunis, and we will reach Rafah as well, and eliminate every terrorist there who threatens to harm us," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Thursday.

Ten thousand Hamas fighters have been killed and another 10,000 maimed, Gallant said, though the figures could not be independently verified. Before the war, Hamas had an estimated 30,000-40,000 fighters, meaning that if Gallant’s numbers are accurate, about half, or up to two-thirds, of Hamas had been taken off the battlefield.

Despite having reportedly killed or maimed 20,000 Hamas fighters, Israel’s military campaign has taken a devastating toll on Gaza. The Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has said more than 25,000 people have been killed in Gaza, though that number does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.

Not to mention those Gazans killed by Hamas rockets that hit their own people, and Gazan bombs and bullets that did the same.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said they will not stop the war until they achieve a complete victory. Israeli leaders have said their goal is to remove Hamas from power in Gaza and to demilitarize the U.S.-designated terrorist group. Simultaneously, Israeli leaders are trying to secure the release of the more than 100 people who remain hostages of Hamas, having been kidnapped during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.

Although how many still remain alive...

Roughly 1.7 million people, over 75% of the population, have been displaced, with all of them fleeing south, the U.N. said on Friday. During the start of their military operations back in October, the IDF urged Paleostinians to flee from northern Gaza to the south due to their operations, but they have not yet allowed Paleostinians to return north.
