...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.

...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...says 5 patients have died
Forces from the elite Maglan and naval commando unit continued to carry out searches Friday at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis — the focal point of recent fighting — and apprehended more than 20 Lions of Islam who took part in the October 7 massacres in Israel, the military said. The soldiers also found mortars, grenades and other weaponry belonging to Hamas inside the medical facility.
In addition, dozens of suspects were taken for questioning.
The army also said that during operations at the hospital, troops found medications with the names of hostages on them. "The origin of the medication and their use is under investigation," the Israel Defense Forces said.
Health officials in the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said that five patients in intensive care had died after their oxygen cut off, and alleged troops had caused chaos for hundreds of staff and maimed inside.
The IDF also announced on Friday the death in battle of Staff Sgt. Noam Haba, 20, of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion, from Jerusalem, raising the IDF’s corpse count since the beginning of the ground offensive in the Gaza Strip to 234.
The IDF said that in the same battle in which Haba was killed, other soldiers were maimed, including a fellow member of the 202nd Battalion who was seriously hurt.
IDF troops entered the Nasser Hospital building on Thursday after surrounding the hospital for a week, saying they had information that hostages had been held there and that some bodies of dead hostages may still be at the site. A released hostage told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named last month that she and over two dozen other captives had been held inside the hospital.
The military said it will "continue to operate in accordance with international law against the Hamas terror group, which has systematically operated from within hospitals and other civilian infrastructures."
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said that four patients in the intensive care unit of the hospital died early Friday morning due to a lack of electricity in the facility, preventing adequate oxygen supplies.
The ministry had earlier warned that six patients in the ICU and three infants in incubators were in danger because fuel for generators was on the verge of running out.
"The Israeli occupation is responsible for the lives of patients and staff as the compound now is under its full control," the ministry said.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF.
Also in Khan Younis, the Paratrooper Brigade continued to raid terror targets, killing two Hamas operatives and neutralizing an bomb, and the 7th Brigade of the IDF Armored Corps killed 12 terrorists.
Over the past 24 hours, the IDF continued its campaign throughout different parts of the Gaza Strip with widespread

s and shootouts between troops and terrorists.
According to the military, the air force hit Hamas targets, including the terror group’s operational headquarters, military buildings, launch positions and other targets. Strikes were also carried out to support ground troops.
The military said fighting also continued in central Gaza, where Nahal Brigade soldiers killed several terror operatives.
Over that same time span, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said that 122 people were killed in Gaza, bringing the Paleostinian corpse count in the war to 28,775.
These figures cannot be independently verified and do not distinguish between Hamas members and civilians. They also include Paleostinians killed as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. The IDF says it has killed nearly 11,000 Hamas operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 Lions of Islam inside Israel on October 7.
