On November 16, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that its fighter jets struck overnight the home of Ismail Haniyeh, a senior leader of the Hamas Movement who lives in Qatar, in the Gaza Strip.
The home was “used as terror infrastructure and, among other things, as a meeting place for the senior officials of the organization,” said the IDF, which also released video footage of the airstrike.
Separately, the IDF said that the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit found and destroyed weapons and equipment belonging to Hamas’s naval forces in Gaza City’s al-Shati camp. The cache of weapons included diving equipment, firearms and explosive devices.

Israeli paratroopers also located other weapons and explosives in northern Gaza overnight, following a gun battle with Hamas operatives, according to the IDF.
A day earlier, Israeli troops stormed al-Shifa Hospital and advanced in several other parts of Gaza City. The IDF said that two of its soldiers were killed during the fighting, one from the 401st Brigade’s 601 Battalion, a part of the Combat Engineering Corps, and a second from the 401st Brigade’s 52nd Battalion.
The death of the two soldiers brought the number of Israeli troops killed during ground operations in Gaza to 50. More than 260 others were reportedly wounded.
There were also reports of material losses. Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said that its fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli troops and struck 11 vehicles of the IDF, including main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers and bulldozers. A Skylark drone was also shot down and captured by the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Several recent reports talked about Qatari efforts to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas to release some of the hostages being held in Gaza and secure a three-day ceasefire. However, the recent attacks by the IDF indicate that the Israeli leadership may be planning to capture Gaza City before accepting such a deal.
even though israel has intensified the conflict every step of the way, iranian fm is now saying:
“iran not behind resistance front’s decision to attack us-run bases in iraq, syria” as per the latest headline on presstv.ir
shameful to say the least given all of the warnings before.
dont be a clown. iran could never confirm theyr direct support to them, because zios and us only waiting for a reason to bomb iran. but under the radar many countries support the resistance axis.
they gave warning after warning against israel escalation in gaza. drawing red lines in the sand which israel crossed each and everytime. and then this week they backpedaled completely and said they won’t intervene unless they are attacked first. they are an islamic theocracy — but they are not being true muslims. none of these muslim countries are truly religious they just use religion as a mechanism of control / opiate for the masses.
yes, a country like iran that has been under attack from the us and israel since 1979, should take on the faltering global hegemon and its vassals in europe and the other anglo colonial settler states. suicide is the hallmark of authenticity.
the khazar demon bombs rubble to dust and shoots at every shadow as it waits to get blown to bits but said demon totally refuses to go down the tunnel system where the tranny diaper heads will be slaughtered like their ussan tax cattle were by the gallant viet cong. how long more can psychopath nut’nyahoo dodge the knives now poised behind his back… dead thug walking.
if u believe that tunnel shit, or jihadi weaponry from ukraine u also belive in santa claus and the easter bunny
they wont wipe out hamas. the true intent is land theft. the joo for thousands of years has been a scourage, most of the world knows it. only anglo american retards dont, they worship satans little minions
exactly…they are the poisonous mushroom as the nazi considered them in the 30s, angloretards and the christianism protestants are the perfect goyims for them
at this point the zio pigs have for sure almost 2000 casualties, this war could be terrible for palestinians but its the worst blodsheed for the horrible hook-nose shlomos
palestinians should put israeli flags in all roofs, so that when the bombs fall to destroy everything, it takes their flag with them
allah is fucked
