300 dead, 1600 injured and still counting

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Things have gotten Old Testament strange...err, I guess probably normal for that part of the world...

Israel's Minister of Communications calls on the IDF to cut off the foreskins of Hamas fighters as revenge, as David did with the Philistines in the Tanakh, part of David's story from the First Book of Samuel.

I'm assuming this is some kind of victory sign since all the Hamas fighters are already circumcised per Islamic custom, AFAIK.


Why does he describe himself as a "resident of the Gaza Strip"?



9 min Footage released today by the Israel Defense Force showing the interior in some of the Hamas Tunnel Network beneath the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Northern Gaza (complete with air conditioning/kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms/elevator/blast doors) which is still believed to lead to a Major Command-and-Control Center. While more of the Network as well as additional entrances have been excavated near the "Qatari Building" in the Southern Area of the Hospital Complex. Nice arch tunnels. That's a lot of concrete!!


November 21 Update:

Key Takeaways:

1. Israel said its forces encircled Jabalia as Palestinian militias conducted attacks on the Israeli lines of advance. Israeli forces continued to expand offensive operations into Zaytoun neighborhood south of Gaza city. Israeli forces continued clearing operations in al Shati refugee camp.
   
2. Israel and Hamas negotiated the terms of a draft agreement for limited pauses in fighting and to exchange 50 Israeli prisoners for approximately 150 Palestinian prisoners.
   
3. Palestinian militias conducted five indirect fire attacks from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory.
   
4. Palestinian militia fighters conducted five attacks on Israeli forces in the West Bank. CTP-ISW recorded four demonstrations in the West Bank.
   
5. Iranian-backed militia fighters, including Lebanese Hezbollah, have increased their attack rate from 12 to 16 attacks daily into northern Israel since Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah’s November 11 speech.
   
6. A US military AC-130 gunship struck a Kataib Hezbollah vehicle near Abu Ghraib, Iraq, in response to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq’s November 20 attack on Ain al Assad Airbase. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq—a coalition of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias—conducted four attacks targeting US positions in Iraq and Syria.
   
7. US officials warned that Iran may be preparing to supply advanced short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber discussed the Israel-Hamas war with Russian presidential aide Igor Levitin in Tehran.
   

I guess "Palestinian militia" is the newer term.
