...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.

over the past day, according to reports on Saturday by local hospital officials, News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalists, and the Paleostinian Authority news agency. The IDF said its strikes targeted terror sites in the Strip, and that it took measures to warn uninvolved parties to vacate the area. It said troops had killed dozens of button men in close-quarters combat.

Israel was said to be increasing the flow of supplies to the Strip’s much-battered north while pressing on with a renewed offensive there.
Strikes were reported at a number of hospitals and inactive schools sheltering displaced people. Israel says terror operatives regularly use such facilities as operating bases, and that it makes an effort to avoid harm to innocents. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian hospital, said Israeli tanks had surrounded the hospital, cut off its electricity and shelled its second and third floors, causing risk to staff and patients. At al-Awda Hospital, strikes hit the building’s top floors, injuring several staff members, the hospital said in a statement. According to WAFA, the official PA news agency, at least seven people were killed and several were maimed in the strike on the school in Shati in the Strip’s north. In central Gaza, at least 10 people were killed, including two children, when a house was hit in the town of Zawayda, according to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where the casualties were taken. Another strike killed 11 people, all from the same family, in the Maghazi refugee camp, according to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, where they were taken. AP journalists counted the bodies taken to the al-Aqsa Hospital from the two strikes.

-run health ministry’s ambulance and emergency service, said more than half of them were women and kiddies. The IDF said its forces, which have been operating in Jabaliya for the past two weeks, killed dozens of button men on Thursday, carried out aerial strikes and dismantled military infrastructure.
The IDF said it carries out "many measures before its actions in order to avoid harming uninvolved" people and that each of its strikes "is based on intelligence indications of terror infrastructure or the presence of terrorists."
The army accuses Hamas of using civilians in Gaza as human shields and has published evidence to that effect from hospitals, schools, kindergartens and other civilian sites.
Israel launched a new offensive in northern Gaza earlier this month targeting Hamas fighters, who it said were regrouping there. Residents said Israeli forces had effectively isolated the far northern Gazook towns of Beit Hanoun, Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya from Gaza City, blocking movement except for those families heeding evacuation orders and leaving the three towns. Israel urged all civilians to evacuate northern Gaza at the start of the war, but some have refused to leave.
Residents said communications and internet services had been cut, disrupting rescue operations. Hamas health officials say aid had not been reaching the worst affected areas in northern Gaza, including the three isolated towns.
In Jabaliya, residents said Israeli tanks had reached the heart of the camp after pushing through suburbs and residential districts. They said the army was destroying dozens of houses daily, from the air and the ground, and by placing bombs in buildings, then detonating them remotely.
At the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, medics said they had to replace children in intensive care with more critical cases of adults badly maimed by the strike on the school in Jabaliya, where Israel said button men had embedded themselves. Kamal Adwan’s director, Hussam Abu Safiya, said in a video statement that the children had been moved to another division inside the facility, where they were being cared for. He said medical staff were exhausted and that hospital supplies, including food, were badly depleted.
Israel said it sent about 30 truckloads of aid into northern Gaza on Friday, including food, water, medical supplies, and shelter equipment. "We’re fighting Hamas, we’re not fighting the people of Gaza," military spokesperson Nadav Shoshani told journalists in an online briefing.
The US threatened Israel this week that it could withhold arms shipments to Israel if the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza were not alleviated. Following the threat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the number of aid trucks entering Gaza be increased to 250 a day, according to Kan news.
The broadcaster also reported that at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, ministers were expected to deliberate whether to enlist a private security contractor to distribute humanitarian assistance in Gaza. Israel has accused Hamas of hijacking aid trucks, taking supplies for itself or selling them at exorbitant rates.
