More Paleostinian families left 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 a rusty 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.

Updating news hounds on developments in Gaza, Dujarric said roughly 5,000 people have been displaced from northern Gaza to Deir al-Balah in the central Strip and Khan Younis in the South since August 20. He added that some 8,000 others have been displaced to the west of Gaza City, bringing the total number of new displacements since the end of the ceasefire in mid-March to more than 800,000.
Moreover, UN partners have reported that several education facilities, which are also used as shelters, were attacked last week, Dujarric said.

Israel has dismissed reports of starvation in Gaza as Hamas propaganda, but instituted a series of measures to alleviate hunger in the Strip in July following international pressure, including airdrops and 10-hour "humanitarian pauses" in military operations in three population centers to allow deliveries of aid.Earlier in August, for the first time in nearly a year, Israel announced it would allow the entry of goods into Gaza through the private sector, an effort aimed at increasing the flow of essential food and hygiene items that were previously only delivered by aid organizations.
The US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), established to provide aid via an alternative that would keep goods out of Hamas’s hands, has been plagued by near-daily shooting incidents, in which the UN has said more than 1,000 people were killed as they tried to reach GHF distribution centers, allegedly by IDF gunfire.
If only Hamas would stop killing those who dare hand out aid without giving paying cumshaw, and those who dare to get what was meant for them, not Hamas.

clergy and nuns from the Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches in Gaza City have decided that they will not evacuate ahead of the upcoming offensive, and will instead remain within the church compounds to provide care for those unable to flee.
In a joint statement Tuesday, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said that the Greek Orthodox compound of Saint Porphyrius and the Holy Family Church compound "have been a refuge for hundreds of civilians" since the outbreak of war in October 2023, among them "elderly people, women, and children," as well as disabled Gazooks.
"Like other residents of Gaza City, the refugees living in the facilities will have to decide according to their conscience what they will do," they said.
"Among those who have sought shelter within the walls of the compounds, many are weakened and malnourished due to the hardships of the last months. Leaving Gaza City and trying to flee to the south would be nothing less than a death sentence

The patriarchates said that "for this reason, the clergy and nuns have decided to remain and continue to care for all those who will be in the compounds. "
"We do not know exactly what will happen on the ground, not only for our community, but for the entire population," they acknowledged. "We can only repeat what we have already said: There can be no future based on captivity, displacement of Paleostinians, or Dire Revenge."
"This is not the right way," they said, calling for both an end to the "senseless and destructive war" and for the return of the hostages being held by Gazook terror groups. "It is now time for the healing of the long-suffering families on all sides."

the IDF released new footage showing the destruction of two Hamas tunnels in the central Gaza Strip, part of a monthlong operation by forces from the Gaza Division’s southern brigade, the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, and the Gaza Division’s engineering units.
According to the military, one of the tunnels, which featured multiple exit shafts, contained living quarters, food, weapons, and other facilities used by Hamas operatives. Troops sealed the tunnel by filling it with concrete. A second offensive underground route, stretching hundreds of meters, was destroyed with explosives.
The IDF said that in the course of the operation, dozens of Hamas fighters were killed, and both underground and aboveground terror infrastructure was dismantled. The military added that the effort was aimed at widening the security buffer along the central and southern border of the Gaza Strip.
