Israel's attacks kill at least 50 in Gaza since early Thursday: Civil Defence; also, IDF kabooms 5 miles of Hamas tunnels
2024-12-21
[GEO.TV] Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Al Jazeera Arabic that more than 50 people had been killed in Israeli raids since dawn on Thursday.

Moreover, he condemned strikes on displaced civilians in schools being used as shelters.
Hamas gunnies, Hamas officers, human shields willing and unwilling — that adds up to 100% with nothing left over.

Death toll from pair of Gaza strikes climbs to 25, medics
[IsraelTimes] Israeli airstrikes killed at least 25 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip today, medics say, including at least eight in an apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp and at least ten in the town of Jabalia.

The IDF has not immediately commented on either strike but has long said it only targets terrorists and that Hamas hides among civilians.

Hamas rescuers claim IDF strike in Jabalia killed 7 children from one family
[IsraelTimes] Hamas’s civil defense rescue agency claims that an Israeli airstrike killed 10 members of a family on Friday in the northern part of the territory, including seven children.

“There are 10 martyrs … all targeted by an airstrike on their home in Jabalia al-Nazla, southwest of Jabalia. All of the martyrs are from the same family, including seven children, the oldest aged six,” civil defense agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal tells AFP.

Bassal says the strike injured 15 other people.

The Israeli military when contacted by AFP did not offer an immediate response.

The IDF says it doesn’t target civilians and that Hamas hides and fights among them.

Hamas death tolls don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.

IDF razes miles of Hamas tunnels in north Gaza, seizes equipment stolen in Oct. 7 onslaught
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has demolished close to 5 miles worth of Hamas tunnels in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya.

Three tunnels were scanned and later destroyed by the elite Yahalom unit and other combat engineers, amid an ongoing operation against the Palestinian terror group in the area led by the Kfir Infantry Brigade.

The military says that in one of the tunnels troops located IDF equipment that was stolen by Hamas terrorists during its onslaught of October 7, 2023, along with weapons and maps of the Israeli border communities.
