Nadene Goldfoot
Negotiations continue as Eisenkot tries to form a government. Last night, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Eisenkot held a 2 hour security briefing. According to a joint statement issued by Netanyahu and Eisenkot after the meeting,
Eisenkot was briefed on “the security and diplomatic challenges facing the State of Israel at this time.” The two agreed to continue exchanging updates as needed.
The IDF yesterday11/12/26 struck a senior Hamas commander who was operating from a restricted section of Nassar Hospital, which Hamas had converted into a military headquarters. The strike, carried out shortly after midnight in Khan Younis, targeted Mohammed Abu Ismail, commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade, along with several other operatives allegedly operating inside the hospital.
This is the publicity Hamas gets by allowing strike to happen without getting people to their bomb shelter, which, of course, they refuse to have, or to leave the hospital. " An overnight Israeli airstrike hit the surgical wing of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing at least six people and wounding more than 20 to 40 others."And another from YNet said: An Israeli military strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed at least six people and wounded over 20 others, according to reports covered by Ynetnews and international media. Target & Location: The strike hit areas in and around Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, impacting parts including the surgical and intensive care departments. Casualties: At least six people were killed—including a doctor and a 13-year-old boy—and more than 20 to 40 others were injured. So the question remains; 1/6 was it worth it? One has to realize that one was a leader, and without a leader, acts of violence might not happen, and he only lasted 2 months on the job. Who wants such a job? Sadly for Israel, another radical extremist could step up to do it. There are enough meshuganas out there. But maybe not. That was their decision, evidently.
The IDF said, "Before the strike, precautionary measures were taken to minimize, as much as possible, harm to the hospital building and uninvolved civilians. The strike was carried out in a targeted manner against the room from which the brigade commander and the terrorists were conducting military activities."
The IDF also said, "Before carrying out the strike, the IDF repeatedly warned and demanded that military activity at the hospital cease, on several occasions, including recently" and that "The second floor of the hospital serves as a Hamas military headquarters, with civilians prohibited from entering and strict security maintained because it is used by the organization's commanders, including Mohammed Abu Ismail." Dozens of hostages had been held at Nasser Hospital during the war.
The Board of Peace subsequently condemned Hamas' "alleged" use of hospitals and other civilian infrastructure for military purposes. It also condemned the loss of life in the strike, but did not condemn Israel.
Meanwhile, the IDF has coordinated the entry of over 93,000 tents into Gaza in preparation for the winter, along with more than 8,600 trucks carrying winter supplies. Also, hundreds of trucks carrying medical equipment and medications have entered the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, with supplies delivered directly to hospitals and clinics. The IDF said,
"Hamas remains the primary obstacle to the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip and a different future for its residents. Hamas continues to exploit humanitarian infrastructure and incoming humanitarian aid, particularly the winter supplies being brought into the Gaza Strip."
