Hamas terrorists surrender en masse as IDF fights inside Gaza hospital
Some 70 terrorists surrendered and left the building with their weapons. By JERUSALEM POST STAFF DECEMBER 14, 2023 13:28 Updated: DECEMBER 14, 2023 15:21 Hamas terrorists surrender outside Kamal Adwan Hospital, northern Gaza, December 14, 2023 (IDF Spokesperson's Unit) IDF troops from the 460th Combat Brigade of the 162nd Division operated in the Kamal Adwan Hospital area with the Shin Bet, with scores of Hamas terrorists being killed or detained. During the operation, the IDF troops located a building close to the hospital that was being used by Hamas terrorists. An exchange of fire took place, in which a number of Hamas terrorists were killed. Some 70 terrorists surrendered and left the building with their weapons and were detained and taken for interrogation by the Shin Bet. Kamal Adwan Hospital is in the Beit Lahiya area north of Gaza City, near the Israeli border. In mid-October various media outlets quoted Hussam Abu Safiya, head of pediatrics at the hospital in northern Gaza, saying it did not evacuate despite calls to do so by Israel. The UN had warned at the time that hospitals would run out of fuel in two days on October 15. The fuel continued to flow despite the warnings. On November 4, CNN reported that “MedGlobal, a US-based organization that supports local health programs for vulnerable populations across the globe, issued an urgent appeal for fuel to power a generator at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.” Hamas terrorists surrendering en masse Images and videos have been circulating all week of Hamas terrorists surrendering to Israeli troops en masse as the terror group continues to lose control over the coastal region. Heavy fighting in northern Gaza in recent days has seen 10 IDF soldiers, including several senior officers, were killed and six wounded in one of the bloodiest battles of the IDF’s invasion of Gaza, the army announced early Wednesday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, and IDF Southern Command Chief Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkleman all eulogized the dead as tragic heroes, while maintaining a broadly optimistic tone about the war’s future course. link

It would be great if one just happened to hit their Dome of the Rock! Hamas Fires Rockets Toward Jerusalem Holy Sites; Iron Dome Intercepts
JOEL B. POLLAK 15 Dec 2023 The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas fired rockets toward Jerusalem on Friday evening, as both Jews and Muslims were participating in prayers, endangering the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The rockets were intercepted and disabled by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, whose trails could be seen across the evening sky. In the video above, the person filming is heard to declare “Allahu Akbar” (“God is Great”) and “La’ila ha’il Allah” (“There is no God but Allah”), both common declarations of faith in Islam, though also used to express awe — and, sometimes, enthusiasm. Though this is not the first time rockets have targeted Jerusalem, it is thought that Hamas avoids targeting the city because of the danger that it will damage one of the Islamic holy sites — though it is likely it would blame Israel, anyway, if it happened to do so. One Hamas rocket reached the Palestinian Authority capital of Ramallah, landing near a hospital, the Times of Israel reported. link

Israel Victory: IDF Eliminates 600 Terrorists, Secures “Elite Quarter” as Hamas Trapped, Forced to Hunt Animals for Food, Losing Sanity
By Richard Abelson Dec. 21, 2023 11:15 am The IDF announced on Wednesday that its troops secured control over Hamas’ “Elite Quarter” in the center of Gaza City, including the area of the ‘Palestine Square’, from where Hamas’ administrative and military leadership operated, Arutz Sheva reports. The complex includes a large network of tunnels that connects terrorist hideouts, bureaus, and residential apartments belonging to Hamas’ senior leadership. This complex, both above and below ground, was a center of power for Hamas’ military and political wings, Arutz Sheva reports. The 401st Brigade in the 162nd Division, along with the Shaldag tunnel rats, Yahalom combat engineers and Shayetet 13 special forces, have been operating in Rimal area in Gaza City, where ‘Palestine Square’ is located. The forces carried out a combined and coordinated offensive on ‘Palestine Square’ and took operational control over the area. Over the last few days, the area was completely secured, securing booby traps and removing IEDs. IDF forces eliminated approximately 600 terrorists in both ground and aerial operations, Arutz Sheva reports ‘Palestine Square’ was a center of Hamas’ military rule and is surrounded by buildings that served as command and control centers, terror tunnel shafts, and strategic buildings belonging to the organization. This military infrastructure was located in the direct vicinity of commercial stores, government buildings, civilian residences, and a designated school for deaf children. The square is the center of the strategic tunnel network of some of Hamas leadership’s strongholds and connects to the underground infrastructure in the area of the Rantisi Hospital and the Shifa Hospital, according to Arutz Sheva. After the area was secured, a “sweep and clear” operation revealed an underground terrorist city, which is part of Hamas’ tunnel system. Tunnel shafts leading to the network of tunnels are located in the residences and offices of senior officials and allow for a covert descent through designated elevators and stairs. This enabled Hamas operatives to escape or remain in hiding for extended periods. The underground tunnel network includes blast doors and hideouts. Food, water, and electrical infrastructure were found, allowing for prolonged stays. This network was used by the organization’s senior officials, Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif, and others, to direct Hamas’ operational activity. It was also used for protected daily movement through the heart of Gaza City, Arutz Sheva writes. Hamas also established a specialized workshop for digging and building the underground network in the area. A tunnel shaft used for logistics and tunnel construction equipment, including tunnel walls and concrete arches that make up the tunnel ceilings, were found inside the workshop. Next to the workshop is a shaft 20 meters deep, with descending spiral stairs, as well as a blast door and forks in the tunnel’s pathway. The tunnel shaft was demolished by explosives embedded by Hamas there, and numerous weapons and technological devices were found nearby. Over the last day, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft attacked some 230 Hamas terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including in the Khan Yunis area in the south, where a fighter jet destroyed a compound and eliminated the terrorists inside, and in the area of Al-Shati Camp in the coastal north, JNS reports. Furthermore, a launcher loaded with rockets aimed at Israeli territory was located and destroyed in the Khan Yunis area. In Jabalia in the north of the Strip, Israeli soldiers facilitated the orderly evacuation of civilians from a school complex southwards, and found weapons in the school. Desperate to survive, Hamas terror squads in Gaza are now forced to hunt animals for food, Jewish Press reports: Arab sources inside the Strip, including those with access to Hamas’s communications network, painted a grim picture to the Tazpit Press Service. “A large part of the Hamas terrorists are in a state of starvation, and this is what led to a series of cases in which the Hamas terrorists preferred to surrender and raise their hands,” one Gazan told TPS according to Jewish Press. One source reported that the terrorists are forced to hunt animals outside the tunnels and drag them to the shafts. The basic menu Hamas provides its people today is soup and bread, TPS was told. The evidence also shows that many Hamas operatives are in a severe psychotic state. TPS was told they are heard on the communication networks mumbling indistinct words, seeming to have lost their sanity. Some terrorists are now trying to escape to the Rafah area because it is close to the Egyptian border. They hope to eventually escape to the Egyptian Sinai, TPS writes. But the routes to Rafah are not safe, so other Hamas operatives are making their way to Khan Yunis. Khan Yunis is the second largest city in the Strip and is regarded as a personal stronghold of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, whose family lives there. Regardless of which place they flee, the terrorists feel their backs are against the wall as they are continually pushed further south. One Gazan warned TPS that “Hamas may blow up the Rafah crossing to cause masses of Palestinians to flee into Egypt and drag Egypt and Israel into a political crisis…” Another source in the Strip said the Iran-backed terror group feels especially betrayed by Hezbollah. “Hamas is in a difficult situation also in light of the lack of a significant response from Hezbollah.” Hamas he, said, had pinned its hopes on Hezbollah opening a second front along the Israel-Lebanon border. “Hamas’ leadership abroad is in serious trouble, even in Qatar, and is no longer secure,” he added, accoring to Jewish Press. link

Gaza: IDF Finds Suicide Vests for Children in Clinic, Hamas Terrorist Films Himself being Neutralized by Elite IDF Commandos
By Richard Abelson Dec. 24, 2023 11:40 am In grueling house-to-house combat in Khan Yunis, soldiers of the IDF Givati Brigade killed five Hamas terrorists emerging from a terror tunnel. The IDF discovered suicide vests for children in a medical clinic that also held dozens of mortars and hundreds of grenades. A terrorist filmed his last moments on his GoPro before being eliminated by the elite IDF Egoz Unit. In the northern Gaza Strip, IDF troops located a Hamas weapons compound inside a civilian structure, Arutz Sheva reports. Explosive belts adapted for children, dozens of mortar shells, hundreds of grenades, and intelligence documents were found inside the compound, which was located adjacent to schools, a mosque, and a medical clinic. IDF troops identified a number of terrorists that exited a Hamas military compound in the northern Gaza Strip, calling in an aerial strike that killed the terrorists. Seven terrorists were killed in Jabalya by IDF troops together with aircraft and artillery, and four Hamas observation assets were destroyed, The Givati Brigade operating in Khan Yunishas has been killing terrorists in close-quarters combat for three weeks. “This past week, five terrorists emerged from a tunnel shaft and began to shoot at forces in the area. Soldiers of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit rushed the terrorists and eliminated them at close range. Immediately afterward, the forces identified four additional terrorists emerging from a nearby building. The soldiers directed IAF aircraft in a strike on the building that killed the terrorists,” the IDF stated. “In another strike during a raid on buildings in Khan Yunis, an explosive device was detonated against the soldiers. As a result, Staff Sergeant Nir Rafael Kananian and Staff Sergeant Birhanu Kassie, may their memories be a blessing, were killed, and five additional soldiers were injured. The following day, soldiers of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit, in cooperation with the Engineering Corps, detonated the booby-trapped buildings where the soldiers were killed,” the military said. Soldiers from the IDF’s Egoz Unit, who specialize in guerilla warfare, have been fighting for the past three weeks together with the Givati Brigade in Hamas’ strongholds in the heart of Khan Yunis. After identifying the terrorist, the soldiers opened fire and eliminated him. Later, during searches of the area, the terrorist’s body was found, together with his weapon and his GoPro camera, which had captured the elimination. Watch: Terrorist eliminated by IDF Egoz Soldiers The IDF and Shin Bet apprehended hundreds of terror suspects in the Gaza Strip, and over 200 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist operatives were brought for further questioning in Israel. Overall, over 700 operatives from terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip have been taken for further questioning thus far. Israeli Air Force aircraft attacked some 230 Hamas terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including in the Khan Yunis area in the south, where a fighter jet destroyed a compound and eliminated the terrorists inside, and in the area of Al-Shati Camp in the coastal north, JNS reports. 14 IDF soldiers fell in intense urban combat over the last two days. Since the start of Israel’s ground invasion on Oct. 27, 153 troops have been killed; 486 soldiers have died since the beginning of the war against Hamas on Oct. 7, JNS reports. May their memory be a blessing. link

Israel says Hamas deployed more than 170 children to the frontlines while terrorists ‘hide in shelters’
By Social Links forAlyssa Guzman Published Jan. 3, 2024, 4:44 p.m. ET Israel claims Hamas has been training children to join their campaign of terror and has even deployed the youngsters to the frontlines to “deliver messages and ammunitions.” Israel Defense Force (IDF) released photos Wednesday that show the aspiring child soldiers posing alongside Hamas terrorists while holding semiautomatic weapons and manning deadly rocket launchers. “Terrorism is not innate, it is learned,” IDF wrote in a post on X, alongside a video of children running through Hamas tunnels. “During the ongoing war, Hamas has positioned children on the frontlines, sending them to deliver messages and ammunition while its operatives hide in shelters.” IDF claimed Gazan children are taught in “schools, youth movements, and summer camps” that “killing Jews and Israelis is justified.” Full story with pictures and video at link
