...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 ...
Strip on Monday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. The troops, of the 205th "Iron Fist" Reserve Armored Brigade’s 9215th Battalion, were taken to a hospital in Israel for treatment.

operative. Four of the reservists were seriously maimed, two were listed in moderate condition, and one was lightly injured.
Also on Monday morning, an Israeli truck driver was lightly injured by a rocket impact near Kibbutz Re’ím, as snuffies in the Gaza Strip launched a barrage at southern Israel. The barrage of some 15 rockets fired from the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza was the latest in a series of attacks, bringing the total number of rockets fired at Israel from the Strip since Friday to around 40. According to the Israel Defense Forces, several of the 15 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome, but others impacted the Re’im and Gama Junction area.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it was taking a man aged 37, a truck driver, to a hospital in good condition after he was hurt by a rocket impact near Re’im.
On Sunday, following the repeated rocket attacks on Israel from Khan Younis, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the area, saying that it would "forcefully operate" against terror groups there.
IDF: KEY HAMAS BATTALION COMMANDER KILLED IN STRIKE ON GAZA SCHOOL
The commander of Hamas’s Sheikh Radwan Battalion, known in the IDF as the al-Furqan Battalion, was killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
in the Gaza Strip, the military announced on Monday.
Jaber Aziz, the commander of the battalion which is part of Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade, was killed in an airstrike against a school in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood a day earlier, the IDF said.
The IDF said on Sunday that it struck two Hamas command and control rooms embedded within the Hassan Salama and Nasr schools in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan.
Citing intelligence information, the IDF said Aziz was killed in the strike on the Hassan Salama school, alongside other operatives. Aziz had served in the role of commander of the Sheikh Radwan Battalion since 2020, after previously serving as the deputy commander of the battalion. He also previously headed the Zeitoun Battalion, according to the IDF.
The IDF said he took a "significant part" in planning the October 7 onslaught, leading the preparations and training in his battalion. Aziz himself participated in raiding Israeli communities on October 7, according to the IDF.
During the war, Aziz directed numerous attacks against Israeli troops in Gaza, and against Israeli civilians, and the IDF said his killing was a "significant blow" to Hamas’s capabilities.
HAMAS ECONOMY MINISTER KILLED IN STRIKE
Also on Monday, the IDF said it had killed Hamas’s economy minister in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip a day earlier.
According to the IDF, Abd al-Fattah al-Zari’i also served as an operative in Hamas’s manufacturing division. The IDF said the manufacturing division works to "increase Hamas’s weapons capabilities, including by exchanging information with other terror organizations across the Middle East."
Al-Zari’i, according to the IDF, also played a "significant role in directing Hamas’s efforts to seize control of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip" as well as managing Hamas-controlled markets. Additionally, he was responsible for the distribution of fuel, gas, and funds for "terror activities," the military added.
Paleostinian media reported that the strike killed al-Zari’i took place in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah, and his mother was also killed in the attack.
80 BODIES SAID RETURNED TO GAZA
Paleostinian media outlets on Monday morning reported that more than 80 bodies were returned by Israeli authorities to the Gaza Strip.
Amid the war in Gaza, the IDF has taken for identification bodies suspected of being those of hostages, returning them after confirming they do not belong to any captives that were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7.
At least 39 of the remaining 111 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 have been confirmed dead.
