Summarizing 11/10: IDF says troops captured key Hamas strongholds in Gaza City today, killing 150 terrorists

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says troops have captured key Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
outposts 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...
City today, killing some 150 terror operatives in the process.

The military says that in recent days, its 401st Brigade led an assault on the so-called Bader outpost — the main outpost of Hamas’s al-Shati Refugee Camp Battalion — located adjacent to civilian homes near the refugee camp.

It says that during the raid on the Bader post, troops destroyed military headquarters and rocket launching sites.

Separately, the IDF says the 401st Brigade captured another Hamas post in the area, and destroyed a weapons manufacturing plant, rocket launching positions and tunnels.

In another raid, the IDF says the brigade battled Hamas button men at the Blue Beach Resort on Gaza City’s coast. It says some 30 terror operatives were holed up at the hotel, firing anti-tank missiles at the forces.

"After it was captured, it was revealed that the turbans used the hotel rooms as a shelter and for planning attacks above and below ground," the IDF says.

The IDF says that in all, some 150 Hamas operatives were killed by forces during the battles in the al-Shati area.

The military does not immediately provide new information on possible casualties among Israeli troops.

IDF says it will help evacuate babies from Shifa Hospital tomorrow, Hamas losing control of north Gaza

[IsraelTimes] IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says ground forces, with air and naval support, are “deepening” operations in Gaza City’s al-Shati Refugee Camp.

He dismisses “false reports” that the IDF has hit Shifa Hospital and is surrounding and striking Gaza hospitals, saying that the IDF does not strike hospitals. Rather, he says, “We are fighting terrorists who are choosing to fight from close to Shifa Hospital.”

He says the IDF will continue to allow patients and staff at Gaza’s hospitals, and all noncombatants in northern Gaza, to evacuate to the south, and says he has spoken to staff at Shifa today to stress all of this.

Atypically, he then switches to English.

“There has been a lot of misinformation from Gaza today. So I want to clarify the facts. There is no siege, I repeat no siege, on Shifa Hospital. The east side of the hospital is open for the safe passage of Gazans who wish to leave the hospital,” Hagari says.

“We’re speaking directly and regularly with the hospital staff. The staff of Shifa Hospital has requested that tomorrow we will help the babies in the pediatric department to get to a safer hospital. We will provide the assistance needed.”

“There is something that the world must not forget, and we will not let the world forget it: Hamas has been holding hostages, 239 men, women, and children, elderly and babies — don’t forget babies — for 36 days. This is a crime against humanity and we will not let the world forget it,” adds the IDF spokesman, still in English.

Hagari says Hamas is losing control of northern Gaza, as civilians evacuate the area “against the instructions” of the terror group.



IDF says Air Force carried out some 5,000 strikes on ‘real-time’ threats in Gaza

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says that ground forces operating in the Gaza Strip have directed the Air Force to carry out some 5,000 strikes to “thwart threats in real time.”

It says some 3,300 strikes were carried out by fighter jets, 860 by combat helicopters and more than 570 by unmanned aerial vehicles.

Many of the airstrikes have taken place within a few hundred meters of ground forces, and some even closer than that.

The IDF says the strikes have aided ground forces in foiling threats to forces, as well as returning fire at Hamas operatives mid-battle.

It says the shortest time measured between the moment of ground troops calling in a target and an airstrike was six minutes.

IDF footage shows several recent drone strikes and one strike by a combat helicopter on Hamas operatives, which were directed by ground troops.

IDF will evacuate the babies, future Jihadis, while Hamas is firing on IDF (and babies - the fires of propaganda must be fed).
