January 2, 20241 yr Senior Hamas leader killed in Beirut attack Hamas said Tuesday that one of its senior officials has been killed in an attack in southern Beirut. Saleh Mohammed Suleiman al-Arouri was a prominent Palestinian political and military leader whom Israel considers one of the key founders of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, in the occupied West Bank. He was born in the village of Aroura in the Ramallah district in 1966. He received his primary, preparatory, and secondary education in the Palestinian territories. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Islamic Sharia from Al-Khalil University in Hebron. A member of Hamas since 1987, he began establishing and organizing a military apparatus for the movement in the West Bank in 1991-1992, which contributed to the actual launch of the Al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank in 1992. He was the former deputy head of the Political Bureau of Hamas and had a hand in negotiating the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011, in exchange for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. He had been repeatedly detained by Israel, including for long periods between 1985 and 1992, and from 1992 to 2007, according to the European Council on Foreign Relations. In 2010 he was deported by Israel to Syria where he lived for three years before moving to Turkey, and then from there to Lebanon.
January 2, 20241 yr Mossad takes out Hamas official and 6 others in an office with a drone strike. Lebanon harbors terrorists. Top Hamas official Saleh Arouri, who headed West Bank operations, killed in Beirut blast BEIRUT (AP) — An explosion in Beirut on Tuesday killed Saleh Arouri, a top official with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and three others, officials with Hamas and the Lebanese group Hezbollah said. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said the blast killed four people and was carried out by an Israeli drone. Israeli officials declined to comment. If Israel is behind the attack it could mark a major escalation in the Middle East conflict. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has vowed to retaliate against any Israeli targeting of Palestinian officials in Lebanon. Hamas official Bassem Naim confirmed to The Associated Press that Arouri was killed in the blast. A Hezbollah official speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations also said Arouri was killed. Arouri, one of the founders of Hamas' military wing, had headed the group's presence in the West Bank. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to kill him even before the Hamas-Israel war began on Oct. 7. The explosion shook Musharafieh, one of the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs, which are a stronghold of the militant Hezbollah group, which is an ally of Hamas. The explosion caused fire in Hadi Nasrallah street south of Beirut. The explosion came during more than two months of heavy exchanges of fire between Israeli troops and members of Hezbollah along Lebanon’s southern border. Since the fighting began on Oct. 8, the fighting has been concentrated a few miles (kilometers) from the border but on several occasions Israel’s air force hit Hezbollah targets deeper in Lebanon. Earlier in the day, Hezbollah said its fighters carried out several attacks along the Lebanon-Israel border targeting Israeli military posts.
January 4, 20241 yr The best I can tell this is basically the Israeli version of CSPAN covering a speech given by one of the members of the Knesset, Israel's legislative body (trying to use first hand sources). Just one member, but not a great look. "Without hunger and thirst among the Gazan population, we will not be able to recruit collaborators, we will not be able to recruit intelligence, we will not be able to bribe people, with food, drink, medicine, in order to obtain intelligence, and we know that finding the abductees is a supreme and super important goal alongside the goals of fighting." - she said MK Tali Gottlieb in the Knesset Plenum @TallyGotliv
January 4, 20241 yr Freed Israeli hostage says she endured ‘psychological warfare’ during 50 days of Hamas captivity Quote Doron Katz Asher said her daughters can "remember every little detail” about October 7. How they woke to the sound of sirens and hid in their shelter. How the gunshots got nearer. How, when the doors burst open, their grandfather rushed out of the shelter so Hamas gunmen wouldn’t see the rest of them hiding inside. How he was taken. How they left the door open to the shelter in the hope other attackers would think it had already been raided and move on. How that didn’t work. "Another terrorist unit entered and took us also,” Asher told CNN. Asher, her mother and daughters, 5-year-old Raz and 2-year-old Aviv, were thrown into the back of a tractor with other hostages from the kibbutz, before gunmen opened fire. Asher was shot in her back; Aviv was shot in the leg; her mother was shot dead. Asher, 34, and her daughters were taken into Gaza, where they were kept first in a home, then in a hospital, before being released in November during a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. In an exclusive interview with CNN, Asher described her nearly 50 days in captivity, the "psychological warfare” to which she was subjected, the conditions in which she was kept, and her sense of guilt after being freed while scores of others – including 79-year-old Gadi Moses, her daughters’ grandfather – remain in captivity. Asher and her daughters were taken first to an apartment that belonged to a family in Gaza. "They stitched my wounds without anesthetic, on the couch while my girls were next to me,” Asher said. After being exposed to the October 7 terror attack that she called a "war movie,” Asher said she tried to reassure her daughters the danger was over. "I told them there are no terrorists anymore and we’re with good people now who are guarding us until we can return home,” she said. The three of them were watched over every hour of the day by children and grandchildren of the owner of the house. Asher never learned their names, but was able to communicate with the father, whom she said spoke Hebrew as he used to work in Israel. While Asher and her daughters were not harmed physically, she said she was subjected to "psychological warfare.” "They didn’t give us a lot of information, they mainly tried to say that Hamas wants to release us but in Israel no one cares about us,” Asher said. "That we won’t return to live in the kibbutz because it’s not our house – it’s not the place where we belong.” But she said she did not believe them – and that the sound of fighting outside the building in Gaza was "how we knew that something was going on in order to get us back home, to put pressure on Hamas to release us.” After 16 days, Asher and her daughters were taken from the apartment to what she described as a "so-called” hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. Why "so-called”? Because a hospital is "a place that is supposed to take care of people, but instead it was taken over by Hamas and they used it to hide hostages,” Asher said. The Israeli military has repeatedly said Hamas hides terrorist infrastructure in and around civilian institutions in Gaza, such as hospitals – a claim denied by the militant group. The US has said that Hamas used the Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in Gaza, as a command center and a place to hold hostages. Asher did not say where she was held. Asher was joined by other hostages in the hospital complex – the first captives she had met since being taken into Gaza. She said she received some medication when her daughters became sick while being kept inside, "but it wasn’t enough.” When Aviv contracted a fever, Asher put her in the sink with cold water to bring her temperature down. "She was screaming. They would tell us to keep quiet, but the girl had a fever and I had to take care of her somehow.” They remained in the hospital for nearly five weeks. Asked what her darkest moment was, Asher said "surprisingly, it was the day that we were released.” When they were "smuggled” out of the hospital into a Hamas vehicle, she did not know where she was being taken. "No one told us that we were getting released,” she said, "so the drive through the streets of Gaza was very, very frightening.” She said the streets were lined with thousands of people – including children and the elderly – trying to hit the car and knock on its windows. Asher said she feared she would be lynched. "This is the first time that Raz said to me, after a month and a half of me protecting her, ‘Mommy, I’m scared,’” Asher said. A total of 105 people were released by Hamas during a temporary truce with Israel, which began on November 24 and ended December 1. Videos capturing some of the moments the hostages were transferred to Red Cross staff often showed Hamas members acting kindly towards the hostages, holding the hands of elderly women, for instance, and helping them out of cars. "It’s one big show,” Asher said. "Before I was released, my girls and I were barefoot for 50 days. We were cold because they were wearing short sleeves in November.” But before they were handed over to Red Cross staff, they were given shoes and Hamas members "put me in a nice dress,” Asher said. Once they were back in Israel, Asher and her daughters were taken to a hospital in Tel Aviv before being discharged and returning home. The first thing her daughters did was "to go outside to feel the wind on their skin,” Asher said. "We didn’t see daylight that entire time … for them, just to be able to run outside, here in our yard, that’s the first thing they did.” Her family is now trying to regain some semblance of normality. But Asher said the trauma easily resurfaces. "There was one day that they saw a tractor here and they asked if the evil men are here. I had to tell them no, the tractor doesn’t belong to the evil men,” Asher said. "The tractor isn’t the thing that hurt you, it’s something we work with in the field, in construction.” Asher said she has been unable to mourn the death of her mother. "While we were hostages all of my energy was devoted to the girls, because if I were to get lost in grief there would be no one to take care of them,” she said. "I was acting on autopilot … I’m still on autopilot.” And the relief she felt once released has been tainted by the knowledge that others remain in Gaza. As of December 29, 106 hostages remain in Gaza, as well as the bodies of 23 who have been killed, according to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office. Among them is Gadi Moses, Asher’s mother’s partner. "We’re waiting for him, he’s going to be 80, he’s without his meds,” Asher said. The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad – another Islamist group operating in Gaza – released a video in December showing Gadi Moses and another hostage, Gadi Katzir, 47, speaking in front of the camera, asking the Israeli government to arrange their release. "He got very skinny – we saw him in the video,” Asher said. "I can’t comprehend what has happened to my family, and I can’t comprehend the inhumanity of them. People who murder people in their beds. Who does that? That’s not human.” For the @Dave Moss's who will glance over it Quote After 16 days, Asher and her daughters were taken from the apartment to what she described as a "so-called” hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. Why "so-called”? Because a hospital is "a place that is supposed to take care of people, but instead it was taken over by Hamas and they used it to hide hostages,” Asher said.
January 4, 20241 yr Quote Israel has killed a senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, its military says The Israel Defense Forces and Israeli Security Agency, also known as Shin Bet, say they have killed Palestinian Islamic Jihad's chief of operational staff in northern Gaza. The IDF said that Mamdouh Lolo was an assistant to leaders of the militant group, which is separate from Hamas, in the northern Gaza Strip. "In addition, he was in contact with senior officials in the terrorist organization’s headquarters abroad. He was killed in a strike by an IDF aircraft,” the IDF added. The IDF claimed that Lolo had planned and led many attacks from the Gaza Strip against Israeli civilians and soldiers. moar please
January 4, 20241 yr Quote IDF warns Gazans to take western coastal road amid operations in central and southern Gaza. The Israeli military has warned civilians in Gaza not to use Salah Al-Din street, the main north-south route, as it ramps up fighting in central and southern parts of the territory. Instead, the IDF told Palestinians to travel via Al-Rasheed street, the coastal road to the west. At least 36 Palestinians were killed in strikes on Al-Mawasi and neighboring Khan Younis on Thursday. Thousands of displaced Palestinians have moved to Al-Mawasi in recent days, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) deepened its military operations in central and southern Gaza. Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed more than 22,300 people since the Israel-Hamas war erupted, 70% of whom are women and children, the Hamas-run Ministry of Health said on Wednesday. CNN is unable to independently confirm the figures provided by the Gaza ministry, due to restricted access to the region and the difficulty in verifying accurate numbers amidst the ongoing conflict. In December, the UN's children agency warned that Gaza is "the most dangerous place in the world to be a child." probably just a trick for moar genocide, right @Dave Moss ?
