The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continues to operate on the ground in the Gaza Strip, taking losses and killing more Palestinians.
In a statement released on February 4, the IDF said that Paratroopers Brigade raided a multistory building that was used by Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade commander to manage the fighting against Israel in the western part of the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. In the building, troops located weapons and military equipment.
In a separate raid in the city, Israeli troops found a cache of rocket-propelled grenades inside an apartment, according to the IDF.
In addition, the IDF said that the Paratroopers Brigade also killed several Hamas fighters in close-quarters combat over the past day, as well as a fighter who hurled two grenades and had approached soldiers with a knife.
Meanwhile, the Givati Brigade, also operating in Khan Younis, killed a fighter that approached them and directed an airstrike on two more fighters heading toward a building, the IDF said.
Also in Khan Younis, the IDF said that a fighter jet struck and killed a sniper of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the second largest faction in Gaza.
Meanwhile, in the northern part of Gaza, the IDF said that the 401st Armored Brigade killed seven Hamas fighters over the past day.
According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force carried out several strikes across Gaza hitting targets including Hamas rocket launching positions and other infrastructure.
The Navy also carried out strikes along the Strip’s coast, aiding the ground forces operating in the area, the IDF said, adding that Navy vessels targeted several Hamas and Islamic Jihad sites, including a building where operatives were gathered.
Separately, the IDF announced that a reservist from the 924th engineering battalion of the Harel Brigade was killed amid fighting in southern Gaza. He was the 225th Israeli soldier to have been killed in Israel’s ground operation in the Strip, so far.
While the IDF claims its troops are only targeting Hamas and other factions in Gaza, the death toll in the Strip continues to rise.
Gaza’s health ministry said on February 4 that at least 92 people had been killed overnight, including in what the group’s media office said was an Israeli bombardment of a kindergarten in Rafah in the southern part of the Strip, where displaced people were sheltering.
Despite recent reports of progress in the ongoing indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, the IDF is not slowing down operations. A ceasefire agreement does not appear to be near.
these goofballs believe they can take on iran, smh 🤦

yahya “the pedomaniac” sinwar, leader of hamas
well of course they continue their attacks. it would be too simple to allow the palestinians to enjoy their beachfront property with gas field royalties.
i really love watching the videos of hamas destroying tanks
ya allah habibi, hamas loves killing women, children and elderly because our allah says the inhumane acts and the bloodbath we commit is justified. allahu akbar!
project much? or wait, you getting paid to bot nonsense. it’s not exactly the sort thing that builds an ethical resume. but then again, you prolly took a double clot shot.. well deserved, stick with your shilling job until israel is destroyed and the money magic machine dies, along with the sods in idf or dod that cut you pissant paycheques…
the only ones committing inhumane acts are the israelis. hamas has 1000x more honour than you hateful greedy genocidal scumbags
ya allah u are wrong
we did the massacre of babies and burned them alive. even kidnapped some of them.
we also paraded naked dead israel woman in gaza whom we raped.
we have honour in commiting genocide against israel. because allah commanded us to commit crimes.
next up, bombing day care centers because the community wants to let hamas use the kids as human shields. /s if there are any israelis with a conscience who can look themselves in the mirror, let me know. beyond despicable. blowing up children because there might be some terrorists hiding out, even if it were true which it probably isn’t… what insane losers.
jevus do avoid mirrors, since they might see stuff that they cannot steal.
ya allah habibi, we hamas also rape women as young as six years old because it’s in the quoran. allah akbar
israel has been targetting civilians, hospitals, schools and holy sites for 75 years. anyone with half a brain would know there is no utility whatsoever in hiding there (that excludes useful idiots who serve zionazi propaganda, like the pedomanic zionist lurking here)
from the israeli perspective most of the current hamas fighters were children 15 years ago when hamas was elected. if you kill them or disable them now they won’t be fighters in the future. i think that is the genuine perverse logic of the israelis. thats why its genocide. demographics are impacted upon more by the loss of child bearing women so killing women and children is a win win for the israelis.
that attitude is all backwards as to who deserves what. earth’s lesson is forthcoming.
i already told everyone at the start of gaza campaign, israel will do whatever they wanted in palestine and nobody can stop them. israel wanted to get rid of all palestine people from palestine and will get what they are pursuing. israel need to complitely secure the land (strategic goal). the world powers gave israel that land after wwii.
somebody could explain me why ussr accepted the western empire (usa uk) proposal to create the state of israel in palestine land. even in the 70’s and 80’s israel espionage against ussr was legendary. if u.s.s.r. was against the creation of israel in palestine we would not have had the issues, the mass executions and getting away with murder of the western empire a.k.a usa empire.
1-nobody has the right to give a land that does not belong to them, the uk and the un behaved like colonial powers trying to wash their conscience from the holocaust and to rid their countries of jews (balfour, amongst others, was notoriously antisemite)
2- the un did not give all of palestine to the zionists, only part of it. the israelis in their hatefulness and greed kept taking more and more land
it’s not the answer i was expecting. seems that you didn’t know about history, and all the events during the creation of israel state after wwii.
because the rothschild family sought control of the world through chaos and they had yappy little poodles wrapped around their gross fingers.
plan b, since taking back khazaria from russia has become a huge bust.
ya allah habibi, i give my order to my men in rafah:
aid trucks carrying food, medicine and water coming thru rafah crossing, we boarded them with my men armed with kalashnikovs and some grenades.
any palestinian citizen attempting to board the aid trucks will be shot dead.
i also told al jazeera not to record our activities shooting children begging for aid at rafah.
from yours truly: yahya “the pedomaniac” sinwar
israel is on course to forefill pike’s prophecy, self destruction. for the money spent on blood lust murder, they could have just paid off and bought out the palestinians of their properties, but this has nothing to do with money or the gas, this is rothschild genocide dementia on overdrive, like it was in armenia…
watching the video above with the baby girl covered in blood and shaking make’s me understand why anyone seeing let alone experiencing this would go out on a public street with a ball pin hammer and beat the life out of the first jew he comes across
use bobo in a sentence (google translate):
“bobo idiota bogok kag mama potang ina mo gago ka”
the ghetto khazar demons squatting palestine have to be “removed” permanently from the entire region. i suggest walling the surviving genocidal barbarian loons into some hell hole in montana. ussa spawned this abomination and should quarantine this contagion when the m.e. is finally sanitized. say no to joo jabbers and their war on humanity.
