Arabia
Civilian killed in armed clashes in Shabwah
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A citizen was killed Saturday in armed confrontations in Shabwah province, which is under the control of Saudi-led coalition factions in eastern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
.
Local sources in the province reported that tribal turbans from Al Dhaif Allah and others from al-Magareha area clashed in the Thahba area of the Usaylan district, leading to the killing of Saleh bin Ali al-Dhaifli.

The festivities stopped after the turbans withdrew without intervention from UAE-affiliated "Shabwah Defense" factions, the sources added.

The districts of Shabwah are experiencing security chaos and a raging conflict between rustics supported by the UAE and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

Britain
Nearly 100,000 in pro-Palestinian march in London as protests sweep across Europe
[AlAhram] Police in London say nearly 100,000 people marched in the British capital in an event organised by pro-Paleostinian groups, one of several such protests across Europe.

Demonstrators held signs reading "Freedom for Paleostine", "Stop Bombing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
" and "End Israeli Apartheid". Many waved Paleostinian flags and some chanted "5, 6, 7, 8, Israel is a terrorist state" and "Free Paleostine".

Since shock Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
attacks on Israel on October 7, which left 1,400 dead, Israel has launched devastating air and ground bombardments of Gaza. The Hamas authorities say 4,385 people have died.

The London march brought traffic at the Marble Arch landmark to a standstill, and police said on X (formerly Twitter) that almost 100,000 had attended. It broke up peacefully close to Downing Street.

PROTESTS IN EUROPE
Other demonstrations took place in Birmingham, central England, Cardiff in Wales and the Scottish city of Glasgow.

There were also protests in other European countries.

Pro-Paleostinian rallies took place in several French cities. In southern city of Lyon, more than a thousand people turned out to one demonstration, which was authorised at the last minute.

There were also demonstrations in the southern Mediterranean city of Marseille, in Rennes, in the northwest, and in the northeastern city of Metz.

Earlier this week, La Belle France's top administrative court, the Council of State, overturned a number of bans on such demonstrations imposed by regional authorities. They had issued the bans after Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered them to do so on public order grounds.

Thousands also marched in cities across Spain including the capital Spain, Barcelona, Zaragoza and San Sebastien.

And in Italia, thousand marched in support of Paleostinians in the northern city of Milan.

#4 
Has Israel and most of the Christian world finally WOKE UP and understood that the PLO/HAMAS, ISIS, typical Palestinians and etc.. have repeated the cycle of attack, negotiate, gain some concessions, have a temp semi-peace, only to regroup/rearm to attack again?

It should be clear that the Palestinian/hostile Arab World goal is Genocide of the Jewish people. An History and Defensive Logic dictates Eliminate the Threat to survive.

SUMMARY
It is interesting to see how the EU's open borders policy and allowance of a mass influx of a culturally & morally opposite population has played out. Given the US Socialist Democrat here in the USA are doing the same thing.

Q: So will there be a Religious Crusade #12 anyone?

Report: Asylum seeker carried out UK terror attack to avenge Gaza, public not told
[IsraelTimes] The UK’s Daily Telegraph reports that a terror attack was carried out in Britannia by an asylum seeker claiming he wanted to avenge Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The paper claims that details of the attack are being withheld from the public for security reasons.

The paper says the man was arrested and told police that he had done it "for Paleostine."

The report quotes Iain Duncan Smith, the former leader of the Conservative Party, as saying that the public has a right to know about threats.

"I think the public does have a right to know that something has happened. If they are worried about reaction, people need to know whether their streets are safe," he tells the paper.

The report notes the mass anti-Israel protests held in London last week and similar ones being planned for today.

Europe
Pro-Palestinian rally draws thousands in Paris Thursday as protest ban lifted
[AlAhram] Thousands of Paleostinian supporters gathered in the heart of Gay Paree on Thursday, after authorities lifted a ban prohibiting pro-Paleostine demonstrations.

A Gay Paree court on Thursday had suspended the ban that had been put on the protest in Place de la Republique in central Gay Paree.

Thousands had already gathered for the rally, which started off peacefully, but later saw festivities with police, who used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, according to AFP journalists at the scene.

Last week Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin had called on regional authorities to ban all pro-Paleostinian demonstrations. But the Gay Paree court said that bans imposed by regional prefects were "a serious and clearly illegal threat to the freedom to protest".

President Emmanuel Macron said it had been justified to block pro-Paleostinian demonstrations immediately after the October 7 Hamas

attack on Israel that killed more than 1,400 people.

Since the outbreak of violence French security services have been on high alert given that La Belle France has large Jewish and Moslem populations.

Home Front: WoT
Fury on the streets of NYC as thousands of anti-Israel protesters clash with cops after shutting down traffic and refusing to leave: NYPD offers are seen brawling with demonstrators waving Palestinian flags
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Anti-Israel protesters and police clashed in Brooklyn after thousands flooded a predominantly Arab and Middle Eastern neighborhood Saturday night.

The protest in Bay Ridge saw thousands of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators chant 'move, cops, get out the way. We know you're Israeli-trained' as they descended on the community, stopping traffic and lighting fires in the process.

Part of the procession, billed online as Flood Brooklyn for Palestine, began to clash with NYPD officers as night fell, video shows - as their numbers swelled to an estimated 5,000 over the course of the day.

The officers were subsequently filmed trying to usher them out of a intersection along Fifth Avenue where they had shut down traffic, during which an unspecified number of pro-Palestinians were arrested and taken into custody.

Several cops were seen punching protesters in the fray, which came after ralliers gathered to demand the US withdraw support for Israel. Armed with Palestinian flags and signs, much of the group refused to comply with cops' demands.

'Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here!' protesters city were heard shouting from within the frenzy, which, thanks to police, was confined to the most part around 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue.

Meanwhile, other, more radical revelers - who ranged in age from preteens to seniors - clutched signage with scrawlings that insisted 'Zionism is genocide,' and that 'Resistance is justified when people are occupied.'

The messages appeared to disregard - and even exonerate - the crimes carried out by Hamas since October 9, including the kidnapping of several Israeli and American citizens in an apparent declaration of war.

While the conflict is now underway overseas, domestic divisions have since surfaced stateside - spurring dueling demonstrations across the nation.

Bay Ridge on Saturday was no different - despite pro-Israelis being kept away from the procession by members of the NYPD.

Footage from the neighborhood over the course of the night, though, showed how the demonstration still devolved - as officers tasked with keeping a handle on the chaos quickly found themselves overwhelmed as the group grew.

Amid the furor, one protestor was heard calling for the 'full liberation of all of Palestine... to every single inch, from river to the sea.'

Donning a T-shirt of one of the event’s organizers, the Palestinian-led Within Our Lifetime, the woman also reportedly shouted: 'We are not like other groups simply calling for a cease-fire; We are calling not simply for an end to genocide.'

Instead, she said, 'We are calling for an end to the siege, an end to the blockade.

'An end to the occupation,' she specified.

Thousands of other women attended the rally, which at first started peacefully but devolved shortly after the sun set.

Aside from the local Palestinian community, several members of other groups - for the most part Middle Eastern - were also in attendance, for a gathering that Within Our Lifetime had advertised as a means to 'end US-sponsored genocide in Gaza.'

The procession, one of dozens that have sprouted up across the city over the past week-and-a-half, has since dissipated - but those supporting Palestine have vowed to continue to voice their opinions to ensure no other innocents are killed.

The protest was preceded by another one in Manhattan on Friday, where some 139 pro-Palestinians were cuffed for blocking traffic in Midtown - by a group organized by the Democratic Socialists of America.

As the protest reached its apex Saturday night, an Israeli aircraft struck a compound beneath a mosque in the occupied West Bank - a location the country's military said was being used by terrorists to organize attacks

Palestinian medics have confirmed that at least one person was killed, as Israel continues to shell the region after the Hamas-led attacks earlier in the week that killed at least 1,400 Israelis.

Israel said the compound beneath al-Ansar Mosque, in Jenin refugee camp, belonged to operatives from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who were responsible for attacks in recent months, releasing images that it said showed an entrance to a bunker under the mosque.

It also released a diagram that it said showed where militants had stored weapons, while footage on social media appeared to show the scene of the air strike, with a gaping hole in one of the mosque's exterior walls.

Several dozen Palestinians are seen assessing the damage, as ambulance sirens blare in the background.

Iraq
Drones attack a US military base in Iraqi Kurdistan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Two drones attacked the US military base "Harir" near the city of Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, Al-Mayadeen TV channel reported.

This was announced by the pro-Iranian movement "Islamic Resistance of Iraq", which launched drones early in the morning of October 21. There has been no information yet about casualties or damage.

Pro-Iranian forces carried out an attack on US troops in Iraq this week for the third time. Thus, on October 18, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq launched attacks on Harir and another American base, Al-Assad, in Anbar province.

The Al-Assad base was also attacked by the Islamic Resistance on October 20.

In addition, on October 19, the group sent three drones to the American al-Tanf base in Homs province in Syria. The Islamic Resistance said all three drones reached their target, while the Americans said two UAVs destroyed air defense forces.

Attacks by the pro-Iranian movement on the American military have become more frequent amid the worsening of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for two weeks now, since October 7. Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces exchange rocket attacks. In addition, Israel plans to intensify military operations as part of the ground operation.

The United States fully supports Israel in its conflict with the Palestinian Hamas movement. American President Joe Biden announced this when he visited Tel Aviv on October 19.

In a number of Islamic countries there are protests against Israeli actions against Muslims. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on October 17 threatened Israel and its allies with dire consequences for attacks on Gaza.

Tech summit organizer quits after facing backlash for accusing Israel of war crimes
The organizer of the Web Summit, one of the tech sector’s leading events, announced his resignation Saturday following a backlash over his online posts following the Hamas attacks on Israel.

“Unfortunately, my personal comments have become a distraction from the event,” Paddy Cosgrave of Ireland explains in a brief statement sent to AFP.

“I sincerely apologize again for any hurt I have caused,” adds the co-founder of the tech mega gathering created in 2009 in Dublin but held in Lisbon since 2016.

A spokesperson for the organization says: “Web Summit will appoint a new CEO as soon as possible, and Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon will go ahead as planned.”

This year’s edition from November 13 to 16, is set to bring together some 2,300 startups and more than 70,000 participants, say organizers.

Several companies, including tech giants Google and Meta, which is behind Facebook and Instagram, as well as event headliners have announced they are boycotting the gathering since Cosgrave’s remarks.

He had written on X, formerly Twitter, that he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments” in support of Israel.

“War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are,” he wrote on October 13.

Israeli strikes in Gaza said to ramp up
Reports claim that Israeli shelling of Gaza is intensifying, after the IDF said it would step up strikes to create the conditions needed for the next phase of the war, expected to be a ground-based offensive.

Reports in Hebrew-language media offer few details of the intensified bombardments. An Al Jazeera correspondent says the strikes are centered around the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, calling them “really terrifying.”

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories denies that aid entering the Gaza Strip was not checked before going in.

“All of the equipment was checked before going into Gaza,” it says in a statement, noting that the shipment included “only water, food and medical equipment.”

“We emphasize that Israel is able to make sure that nothing goes in or out except the aforementioned,” it adds.

A UN spokesperson told the New York Times that the aid was not checked before going in, with an expedited process in place instead.

The IDF said it struck three terror cells in southern Lebanon today that were involved in rocket and missile fire on military positions and Israeli towns.

At least six Israeli soldiers, 17 Hezbollah terrorists, and six Palestinian terrorists have been killed in skirmishes on the border during the last two weeks. One Israeli civilian was killed in a Hezbollah attack, and several Lebanese civilians and a journalist were also reported killed by Israeli shelling.

The IDF has received more than 2,000 requests from Haredim in recent days, and on Monday, they will begin to be drafted as volunteers, Hagari says.

Many Haredi communities shun military service, causing a serious split in Israeli society.

IDF still focused on Gaza despite heat from Lebanon, spokesman says
IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military is still focused on the Gaza Strip, despite repeated attacks from Lebanon by the Hezbollah terror group.

“Every day we conduct an assessment of the north. We are strong on defense and offense [on the Lebanon border], but the main task we are focused on is Gaza,” Hagari says in a press conference.

“Our main mission is Gaza, where Hamas is, and where our kidnapped citizens are,” he adds.

Hezbollah and allied Palestinian terror groups have carried out daily missile and rocket attacks from Lebanon at IDF positions and Israeli towns in the last two weeks. The IDF has been responding with strikes on Hezbollah sites and operatives.

IDF claims over 550 rockets fell short in Strip since outbreak of war
The Israel Defense Forces releases thermal footage showing failed rocket launches from Gaza landing inside the Strip.

According to the IDF, more than 550 rockets fired at Israel have fallen short since October 7, killing Palestinians in the failed strikes.

Earlier today, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said one-fifth of the rockets launched at Israel yesterday fell short inside Gaza.

Police: 74% of civilians killed October 7 identified
Police figures indicate that approximately 1,033 bodies of civilians killed in Hamas’s October 7 onslaught have been collected, of which 765 have been identified.

Of those, 668 have been transferred to families for burial.

“The 765 victims represent 74% of civilians (non-soldiers) killed in the fighting whose bodies have been brought for identification,” a statement says.

“Thousands of police have been working shifts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are taking part in the tough work of identification,” police say. Some of the bodies have been badly burned or destroyed, making identification extremely challenging.

Around 300 soldiers killed in the assault and ensuing fighting on the Gaza border have also been identified by the IDF, putting the official death toll at over 1,300.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the toll from the murderous rampage was at least 1,400 and possibly higher.

Foreign citizens not being allowed to leave Gaza despite opening of Egypt border
Palestinian Americans and other dual citizens rushed to southern Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt as 20 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid entered the besieged strip earlier today as the border opened for the first time since the start of the war.

It was not immediately clear if the Hamas authorities in Gaza or Egypt were preventing them from leaving.
Probably both.
Embassies had asked their citizens in Gaza to stand ready at the border, but crowds of disappointed Palestinians holding American, Canadian, German and British passports waited hours in vain for at least the fifth time this week.

“There is no opening of the crossing, and the suffering is the same,” said US citizen Dina al- Khatib. “They communicate with us, but there is no change.”

Al-Khatib said she and her family were desperate to get out.

“It’s is not like previous wars,” she said. “There is no electricity, no water, no internet, nothing.”

Hezbollah announce death of member killed ‘performing jihad’
The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member who was killed while “performing jihad.” Hezbollah does not elaborate on where Ismail Ahmed al-Zein was killed, but it is believed he was killed in an Israeli strike during recent skirmishes on the Lebanon border.

At least 14 Hezbollah members have been killed in Israeli retaliatory strikes in southern Lebanon in the past two weeks, after the terror group has launched numerous missile attacks against northern Israel.

Israeli official says Israel gave green light for Gaza aid several days ago
Israel gave the green light for humanitarian aid to pass through Egypt’s Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip several days ago, says an Israeli official, speaking to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity.

The first 20 aid trucks passed from Egypt to Rafah this morning, with the timing set by Egyptian discretion, the official says.

Aid was one of the first topics discussed between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, amid burgeoning concerns for the welfare of 2 million Palestinians within the besieged Gaza Strip.

Their crisis has been exacerbated by Hamas bombing water and electricity lines within the Strip, says the Israeli official.

Israel holds an informal veto over what aid can be transferred to Gaza, in line with understandings reached with Egypt. Israel is especially concerned with weapons smuggling into the strip, or diverting aid to Hamas’s war effort. It has also ruled out letting fuel into the Strip.

Egypt, the official adds, is nervous about Palestinian refugees crossing into their territory. No people evacuated Gaza through Rafah today amid expectations that foreign citizens would be allowed to leave.

Hamas claims to target Israeli tank on Gaza border
The Hamas terror group claims to have targeted an Israeli tank with an anti-tank guided missile on the Gaza border, near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.

Ex-US congressman Amash says several relatives killed in Gaza strikes
Prove that it wasn’t hit by one of Gaza’s frequent misfires, Mr. Amash. Or that Hamas did not decide to create a flase flag attack on a bunch of dhimmi Christians
Former US congressman Justin Amash says several of his relatives were killed earlier this week as a result of an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

“I have now confirmed that several of my relatives (including Viola and Yara pictured here) were killed at Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza, where they had been sheltering, when part of the complex was destroyed as the result of an Israeli airstrike,” tweets Amash, the first Palestinian American member of Congress.

“The Palestinian Christian community has endured so much. Our family is hurting badly. May God watch over all Christians in Gaza—and all Israelis and Palestinians who are suffering, whatever their religion or creed,” he adds.

Amash entered Congress in 2011 as a Republican representing Michigan’s 3rd district, but left the party and registered as an independent for the last two years of his decade in the House.

Palestinians say Gaza toll rises to 4,385
At least 4,385 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israel-Hmas war, including 1,756 children, the Hamas-controlled health ministry says.

The ministry says another 13,561 people had been wounded.

The numbers, which can’t be verified, do not differentiate between civilians and terrorists. They also include Palestinians killed in IDF strikes on the Strip and terror rockets fired at Israel that fall short.

In addition, Israel says it killed some 1,500 terrorists inside Israeli territory after Hamas launched its deadly October 7 assault, killing some 1,400 people and taking an estimated 210 hostages.

The Israel Defense Forces says troops have arrested 670 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 450 affiliated with Hamas, since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.

Overnight, 68 Hamas members were arrested, the military says.

Also overnight, the IDF says troops demolished the home of Hamas terrorist Maher Shalloun — in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp — who is charged with killing dual American-Israeli citizen Elan Ganeles on the Route 90 highway in February.

There have been several clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in the past two weeks, and several attempted terror attacks, according to the army.

According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, at least 84 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October 7.

Large rocket barrage fired at central Israel
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fire a large rocket barrage at central Israel. Several loud explosions are heard, apparently caused by Iron Dome interceptions.

Rocket warning sirens go off in Rishon Lezion, Ness Tziona, Yehud and other towns and cities in the area. There are no immediate reports of direct hits or injuries.

IDF says there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza
An Israeli security official says there is currently no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as the military continues to order Palestinians to move south.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, some 700,000 people of the estimated 1.1 million population of northern Gaza have evacuated south in recent days.

“As of now, I can tell you that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. There are hardships in moving people within days to the south of the Gaza Strip, but the population is getting along,” the official tells reporters.

“There is no shortage of water in Gaza, there is enough food for the coming weeks, this is in addition to the supply of medicines which, as far as we know, there is no shortage in the hospitals,” he continues.

He says Hamas is still trying to prevent people from moving south.

Meanwhile, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press conference says food, water and medical aid will enter the southern part of Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah crossing.

“Fuel will not enter Gaza,” Hagari says.

Hagari says the IDF “will continue strikes on Hamas strongholds in northern Gaza.”

Dozens of Palestinian feared dead after ‘Israeli’ strike hits Gaza Orthodox Church
[AlAhram] Scare quotes mine. They got so much mileage out of pretending the hospital was hit by Israel that they are now trying to pretend that Israel just attacked the church next door. What say you, dear Reader – was it Islamic Jihad whut dunnit, or Hamas?
A Palestinian girl was killed and others were injured on Thursday after an Israeli air strike hit the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza City, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Odd — former Congressman Justin Amash claims two of his female relatives were killed when the church was hit.
The church has been a shelter for hundreds of Palestinians displaced by Israel's brazen war on Gaza.

The strike left a "large number of martyrs and injured" at the compound of the Greek Orthodox church, the Palestinian interior ministry said.
500! A brazilian! Lots!
The attack also caused severe damage to the church building, a WAFA correspondent reported.

Local sources told WAFA that the shelling also caused the collapse of another Church building housing several Palestinian families seeking shelter.

More casualties are feared trapped under the rubble, as rescue and medical teams were seen working tirelessly to reach them, the correspondent reported.

The Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church is just meters from the Baptist Hospital, where the Israeli army committed a massacre last Tuesday, killing at least 600 Palestinians and injuring hundreds more.

Al Ahram is liveblogging events related to the current Gaza — with their own peculiar slant — here.

I guess, after they've realized that nobody but their "friends" buys the hospital story - somebody noticed that the church wall was damaged by the rocket's shrapnel.

Palestinian Red Crescent: Israeli Occupation threatens to bomb Al-Quds Hospital
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society announced it received a threat from the Israeli occupation authorities to bomb al-Quds Hospital in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

, demanding the immediate evacuation of the hospital.

The hospital houses more than 400 patients and about 12,000 displaced civilians who took refuge in the hospital as a safe place, in addition to the medical staff, amid the Israeli strikes on the strip that left thousands killed since the beginning of the aggression.

"We call on the world to take immediate and urgent action to prevent a new massacre like the one occurred at al-Ahly Baptist Hospital," said the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy Society.
Think of it like dawaa, guys. You know — the invitation to convert that precedes conquest, enslavement, and death. Except that Israel will merely destroy all your works and kill the worst of you and their human shields.

Strip have not yet vacated despite a call from the IDF to move south.

"In the north of the Gaza Strip, there are 20 hospitals, as of now six have already been vacated, 10 have not yet, and four are refusing," the official says.

He says it is hard for some of the hospitals to move seriously maimed and ill patients, but that the military has "a direct relationship with almost all hospital managers and we encourage them to evacuate."

The official also accuses Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
of using some hospitals as shelters, "because it knows this is a sensitive site we will avoid attacking."

stormed into southern Israel and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and seized more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli officials.

Since then, more than 4,300 Paleostinians, mainly civilians, have been killed in relentless Israeli bombardments, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.

Troops entered Aruri’s home in Arura village, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Ramallah, at dawn on Saturday, arresting more than 20 people, including one of his brothers and nine of his nephews, mayor Ali al-Khasib and witnesses told AFP.
Need that family gallows picture.
Dozens more were pulled in for questioning.

Outside the house, troops put up a banner of the Hamas deputy against the background of an Israeli flag that read: "This was the house of Saleh Aruri and has become the headquarters of Abu al-Nimer — Israeli intelligence", witnesses said, with images of it widely shared online.

Village residents said Abu al-Nimer was an alias for the Israeli intelligence officer responsible for the area.

In a statement, the army said the raid was jointly staged with the Shin Beth internal security service and resulted in the arrests of "dozens of Hamas members" among them relatives of Aruri. It confirmed using the house "for the detention and questioning of activists".

Israel has accused Aruri, who was named Haniyeh’s deputy in 2017, of organising several attacks.

He spent almost 20 years in Israeli prisons and was freed in 2010 on condition that he go into exile.

Since the Gaza conflict erupted, dozens of people have been killed in incidents with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Reports in Syria: Israeli air strikes target Damascus and Aleppo airports
[IsraelNationalNews] This is the third time in the last two weeks that attacks on airports in Syria have been attributed to Israel.

Syrian media reported early Sunday morning that Israel launched air strikes targeting the airports in Damascus and Aleppo.

The Lebanese TV channel Al-Mayadeen, which is close to Hezbollah, reported that the airport in Aleppo was attacked with four missiles. According to reports, explosions were heard in the vicinity of both airports

This is the third time in the last two weeks that attacks on airports in Syria have been attributed to Israel, which has not commented on the reports.

Last week, Syria accused Israel of launching an air strike against Aleppo Airport which put it out of service. The Aleppo Airport has been hit by strikes attributed to Israel several times in the past, most recently in August, when it was also temporarily put out of service. The airport had previously been struck in May.

The strikes are believed to be intended to disrupt Iranian supply lines to Syria and to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
