Hamas tunnel in north Gaza destroyed

...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 a rusty 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...

tunnel in Beit Hanoun used in a deadly attack on troops during the 2014 Gaza War was recently demolished, the military said Friday. In the incident on July 21, 2014, a cell of Hamas operatives emerged from a tunnel and exchanged fire with troops, killing Lt. Col. Dolev Keidar, 2nd Lt. Yuval Haiman, Warrant Officer Baynesain Kasahun, and Sgt. First Class Nadav Goldmacher. The tunnel, which the military said was a kilometer long, was demolished recently by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit during operations of the Kfir Brigade’s Netzah Yehuda Battalion in the Beit Hanoun area.

media outlets in Gaza reported that a confrontation broke out Thursday between Hamas operatives and armed members of the influential Barbakh family clan at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis. Footage shared on social media captured sounds of gunfire during the confrontation, and burned vehicles and damaged equipment could be seen in the vicinity of the hospital. There were no known casualties as a result of the clash.

The Hamas-run interior ministry said that "armed individuals operating outside of the law" entered Nasser Hospital, fired weapons inside the facility, set fire to ambulances, and destroyed equipment. Hamas police forces reportedly clashed with the button men, expelled them from the hospital, and arrested several of them.

Anti-Hamas media outlets in Gaza reported a different version of events, however, saying that members of Hamas’s Sahm Unit — a unit tasked with enforcing order and pursuing those accused of theft or collaboration with Israel — killed a member of the Barbakh family and then fled to Nasser Hospital. According to those reports, armed members of the Barbakh clan pursued them, resulting in the confrontation. The reports further claimed that Hamas forces used ambulances and fired toward homes belonging to the Barbakh family members.

A Telegram channel affiliated with Hamas’s Sahm Unit claimed that Hamas acted against a member of the clan involved in the theft of humanitarian aid entering Gaza. The post did not specify the fate of that individual.

Additionally, the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) charity called Friday for a controversial Israel- and US-backed relief effort in Gaza to be halted, saying it was "slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid."

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, launched last month, "is degrading Paleostinians by design, forcing them to choose between starvation or risking their lives for minimal supplies," MSF said in a statement, demanding that the scheme be "immediately dismantled."

There is an acute shortage of food and other basic supplies after the nearly two-year military campaign by Israel that has displaced most of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants, as Hamas continues to hold 50 Israelis hostage. GHF argues that its model is more effective than the United Nations

’ methods, asserting that its aid convoys have not been looted, as it has its button men who prevent such takeovers.

But the organization only operates up to four distribution sites across the Strip, none of which are in the north, and Gazooks are forced to walk long distances while crossing IDF lines to pick up the supplies. There have been near-daily mass casualty incidents in which the IDF has been accused of opening fire on Paleostinians it says strayed off approved access routes or using them at forbidden times. Some of these incidents have taken place on roads used by the UN for aid distribution and are not near GHF sites.

Hamas authorities have reported dozens of people killed in many such incidents, though those numbers have not been confirmed.

International aid trucks and warehouses storing supplies have often been looted, with Israel accusing Hamas of stealing aid for its own fighters or to sell to finance its operations, an accusation Hamas denies, while others say the looters frequently are desperate and starving Paleostinians. The UN has acknowledged that its convoys have been plagued by looting, but has blamed armed gangs rather than Hamas and has insisted that the solution is for Israel to allow much more aid into Gaza so that demand decreases.

Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are still holding 50 hostages, including 49 of the 251 kidnapped by Hamas-led snuffies on October 7, 2023. They include the bodies of at least 28 confirmed dead by the IDF. Twenty are believed to be alive and there are grave concerns for the well-being of two others, Israeli officials have said. Hamas is also holding the body of an IDF soldier killed in Gaza in 2014.

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 56,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 20,000 combatants in battle as of January and another 1,600 snuffies inside Israel during the October 7
