Medical team and Red Cross experts cross into Gaza​

A 10-person team of medical staff and experts from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) crossed into Gaza on Friday, the organization said in a statement.

“A war surgery team and a weapons contamination specialist are among 10 International Committee of the Red Cross experts who arrived in Gaza on Friday, entering alongside six ICRC trucks carrying urgently needed medical material and water purification supplies,” the statement read.

[...]

Among the supplies ICRC has taken into Gaza are war surgery kits and equipment to treat people with wounds suffered in conflict. The ICRC said it had enough equipment to treat several thousand people, depending on their injuries, adding it had also sent in water purification supplies that would enable the treatment of 50,000 liters of water.

Israel-Hamas war live: Gaza facing ‘massive health hazard’ as water runs low and sewage overflowing on to streets, says UN (theguardian.com)
34m ago09.06 EDT

Israel has had a full invasion force massed on Gaza’s borders for over a week. Its military leaders insist they are ready, and Benjamin Netanyahu has his finger on the trigger, but so far has not pulled it.

The Israeli prime minister gave a speech on Wednesday night that sounded like a rallying cry for a ground assault, but it was carefully drafted, committing to nothing specific and saying the place and manner of any attack would be “determined unanimously” by the war cabinet and the army commanders.

Whatever happens, Netanyahu – down in the polls and widely blamed for allowing the 7 October attack by Hamas to happen – is making sure he does not take sole responsibility for whatever comes next. He knows there is no unanimity in the Israeli leadership.

12m ago09.31 EDT
Israel’s minister of defence, Yoav Gallant, has spoken to a small group of foreign reporters in Tel Aviv, the Associated Press reports.

Gallant said the ground offensive into Gaza will be long and difficult as it will require destroying what he described as a vast network of tunnels used by Hamas militants.

The ground invasion, he added, would lead to another phase of lower-intensity fighting, as Israel destroys ”pockets of resistance.”

His remarks came after the UN sounded the alarm over rapidly dwindling fuel supplies amid resistance by Israel to allow fuel into Gaza. Speaking to reporters, Gallant said Israel believes that Hamas would confiscate any fuel that enters.

Gallant said that Israel believes Hamas uses generators to pump air into its hundreds of kilometres of tunnels, which originate in civilian areas. He showed reporters aerial footage of what he described as a tunnel shaft built right next to a hospital.

Hezbollah launches anti-tank missiles, opens fire at Israeli positions

The Hezbollah terror group launches anti-tank guided missiles and opens fire with light arms at an Israeli military position near Avivim, and against the Misgav Am area on the northern border.

The Israel Defense Forces says no soldiers were hurt in the attacks, and troops are responding with artillery shelling against the sources of the fire in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks today, as well as dozens of missile and rocket attacks on IDF positions and Israeli towns since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.

Since then, the terror group has also named 47 members killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. The IDF says it has been targeting Hezbollah squads and sites belonging to the terror group.

Israel: Hamas terror group’s main operations base is under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City

In a briefing for reporters of international media outlets, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Hamas terror group’s main base of operations is under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Hagari says that Hamas has several underground complexes under Shifa — the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip — which are used by the terror group’s leaders to direct attacks against Israel.

He says Israel has intelligence that there are several tunnels leading to the underground base from outside the hospital, so that Hamas officials do not need to enter the hospital to reach it. But Hagari adds that there is also an entrance to the underground complex from within one of the wards.

Additionally, according to the IDF, Hamas’s internal security has a command center inside Shifa Hospital, from which it directs rocket fire on Israel and stores weapons.

He says that the hospital’s energy infrastructure is also used by Hamas’s underground base.

Hagari accuses Hamas of using the hospital — with 1,500 beds and some 4,000 staff — as human shields.

He says the information on Hamas’s use of the hospital is based on a wide range of intelligence sources collected by the Military Intelligence Directorate and Shin Bet security agency. He says the intel has already been provided to allies.
 
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed a second round of sanctions on key Hamas-linked officials and financial networks following the October 7 barbaric attacks on Israel and its civilian population. Today’s action targets additional assets in Hamas’s investment portfolio and individuals who are facilitating sanctions evasion by Hamas-affiliated companies. Treasury is also designating a Hamas official in Iran and members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as a Gaza-based entity that has served as a conduit for illicit Iranian funds to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

“Today’s action underscores the United States’ commitment to dismantling Hamas’s funding networks by deploying our counterterrorism sanctions authorities and working with our global partners to deny Hamas the ability to exploit the international financial system,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo. “We will not hesitate to take action to further degrade Hamas’s ability to commit horrific terrorist attacks by relentlessly targeting its financial activities and streams of funding.”

….

List of names


As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons.

In addition, financial institutions and other persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with sanctioned entities and individuals may expose themselves to sanctions or be subject to an enforcement action. The prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any designated person, or the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

 
IDF Spokesman Hagari revealed to the media today that Hamas' main operation is based out of tunnels below the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. He added that the vast intelligence compiled on the HQ has been shared with partner intelligence agencies.


Hamas operates within and hides beneath the largest hospital in Gaza. Their priorities are clear—and the people of Gaza are not among them.

Hamas sees all its hostages as Israelis, official tells Russian state media​


I'm curious - is that because all hostages hold an Israeli passport, or because they were all captured in Israel? What about the people from Thailand who were working on the Kibbutz to support their families in Thailand?

In the 1970s, it was popular for backpackers to work on a Kibbutz for the experience of working the land. I have no idea whether that is still something people do, but at that time, it appealed to people of all nationalities and religious beliefs.
 

The Hamas tunnel city beneath Gaza - a hidden frontline for Israel​

What lies in wait for Israeli ground troops in Gaza, security sources say, is a Hamas tunnel network hundreds of kilometres long and up to 80 metres deep, described by one freed hostage as "a spider's web" and by one expert as the "Viet Cong times 10".

The Palestinian Islamist group has different kinds of tunnels running beneath the sandy 360-sq-km coastal strip and its borders - including attack, smuggling, storage and operational burrows, Western and Middle East sources familiar with the matter said.

Snipped by me from same article:

“Many were believed to have had dual Israeli nationality, however some almost certainly did not.”

On Black Saturday of 7th October, our country and our people were targeted with the most horrific, premedicated, and systematic massacre since the holocaust of Nazi Germany. On that black day, and the days that followed, hundreds of Israelis, both civilians and security forces from all branches and organizations, charged into the line of fire and neutralized over 2000 Hamas terrorists from our land.

All of them were witness to horrific images and evidence of a planned genocide. Through this channel, many of them attempted to expose these crimes to the world. For many days, we published raw footages, video, and photographic testimony for the world to analyze and see for itself. Much of this was featured on headlines and legal opinions. worldwide

In recent days however, our ability to bring new and important information has been reduced by shifting conditions in the field. The job is not finished. We continue to see denials of the genocide that took place here. All of the contributors to this channel will continue with all of their might to ensure that the truth from 7/10 reaches the world in their own way.

We urge all of our followers not to be complacent. Continue to post the truth from the South.

Warning Graphic Footage

A father sets out to rescue his daughter and is ambushed by Hamas terrorists in Kfar Aza:

In this new dashcam video, the driver can be heard speaking on the phone with his daughter.

In the first few seconds you can hear his daughter (who is clearly injured) saying faintly "Daddy, they shot me, come." He then asks if they (the terrorists) have left, to which she responds in a muffled voice "no, they are [inaudible]."

As the father speeds toward his daughter's house, he drives past two of the Hamas paragliders which likely delivered the first wave of terrorists that shot his daughter.

Then, he stops the car upon seeing a figure on the right (who appears at first to be an IDF soldier), saying to him "they shot my daughter!" This figure is not an IDF soldier, but rather a terrorist who proceeds to open fire on the father's vehicle as he speeds away to rescue his daughter, screaming that his car has been "torn apart" by bullets.
