Israel Eliminates Hamas Terrorists Plotting October 7-Style Attack While Hiding Inside a West Bank Hospital
“CCTV footage, reportedly from the operation, showed the Israeli security forces disguised as doctors and nurses with silencers equipped on their guns.”
The Israeli special forces on Tuesday eliminated three Palestinian terrorists hiding inside a West Bank hospital, including a senior Hamas commander who was plotting mass-murder of Israelis inspired by the October 7 massacre.
The terrorists used the hospital as a command center in the West Bank town of Jenin and were killed in a covert operation conducted by Israeli commandos dressed in Arab and local garbs.
“The footage showed many undercover forces, some appearing to sport fake beards and others dressed as Muslim women, scouring the hospital corridors while carrying guns,” The Times of Israel reported.
Like something out of a movie.
Israeli intelligence learned about a Hamas cell planning an imminent Oct 7 copycat attacks.

The Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported:
Combined Israeli special forces killed three wanted terrorists in the West Bank city of Jenin, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed in a joint statement.
The counterterrorism operation was led by intelligence from the Shin Bet internal security agency, along with the IDF and the Yamam special forces of the Israel Border Police.
CCTV footage, reportedly from the operation, showed the Israeli security forces disguised as doctors and nurses with silencers equipped on their guns.
The three wanted men had been hiding in the Ibn Sina hospital, which according to the IDF has seen increased activity of terrorists using the civilian infrastructure as protection while planning attacks. (…)
A senior Israeli official described the operation as setting “a precedent” for “activity that has not yet been done.” He said within 10 minutes the terrorists were eliminated and the Israeli team began extraction.
“There are no cities of refuge in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and there won’t be – every terrorist knows this. The hand of the IDF and the security establishment will reach everyone,” the official added, reiterating that terrorist have been granted auspice in hospitals and Ibn Sina in particular.
The other targets were identified as Muhammad Azawi, a Jenin Battalion operative, and his brother Bassel Azawi, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative. Both had been involved in terrorist activities in the area.

The slain terrorists, belonging to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), were planning “to carry out a terror attack in the immediate period,” the military revealed.
The IDF detailed their terrorist background:
Mohammed Jalamneh, 27, who had been in the Jenin Camp for a long period, had contacts with Hamas headquarters abroad and was even wounded when he tried to promote a car bombing attack. In addition, Jalamneh transferred weapons and ammunition to terrorists in order to promote shooting attacks, and planned a raid attack inspired by the October 7th massacre.
Along with Jalamneh, two additional terrorists who hid inside the hospital were neutralized. Mohammed Ghazawi from the Jenin Camp, a terrorist operative of the Jenin Battalions who was involved in numerous attacks including firing at IDF soldiers in the area, and Basel Ghazawi from the Jenin Camp, Mohammed’s brother, an Islamic Jihad terrorist organization operative involved in terror activities in the area.
Jalamneh planned to carry out a terror attack in the immediate future and used the hospital as a hiding place and therefore was neutralized. Israeli security forces will continue to act against any threat that would endanger the security of Israeli civilians.

Tuesday’s counter-terrorism operation once again highlights the widespread misuse of Palestinian hospitals for terrorist activities by Hamas and other jihadi groups.
“For a long time, wanted suspects have been hiding in hospitals and using them as a base for planning terrorist activities and carrying out terror attacks, while they assume that the exploitation of hospitals will serve as protection against counterterrorism activities of Israeli security forces,” the IDF said.
IDF Hits terror targets in Hamas stronghold of Khan Yunis
Meanwhile, the IDF is hitting terrorist targets in Gaza as the battle for the Hamas’s southern stronghold of Khan Yunis intensifies. Hamas’s leadership is believed to be hiding in the area, using Israeli hostages as human shields.
IDF operations continue in Gaza:
In response to the barrage of rockets fired at central Israel yesterday, IAF fighter jets struck the launchers used to fire the rockets, which were loaded with mortar shells.

The Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported Tuesday:
Over the past few weeks, forces of the IDF’s 4th Brigade have operated in the Khan Yunis area.
The forces eliminated terrorist operatives, conducted targeted raids on terrorist infrastructure and located large quantities of weapons.
A machine used for the production of rockets, as well as rocket launchers aimed at Israeli territory, were located and destroyed.
The soldiers used drones to collect real-time intelligence and carry out operations against terrorists.
In one incident, drone operators identified a terrorist cell that was moving toward the troops. The forces directed an aircraft at the terrorists and killed them.
While Hamas leaders use captive Israelis as human shields, the Israeli military is doing everything possible to minimize casualties and protect Gaza’s civilians.
Hamas has repeatedly harmed the people of Gaza during this war even opening fire at civilians following IDF instructions to get to safety.

IDF flooding Hamas terror tunnels
The Israeli military on Tuesday evening released the details of its operation aimed at flooding some of Hamas’s terror tunnels running underneath Gaza. Besides blowing them up, the IDF was funneling sea water into the underground tunnel systems wherever suitable.
The IDF officially releases for publication that it has been flooding some tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater, in what has been an open secret for several weeks.

The IDF announced on its Telegram account:
During the war, the IDF has implemented new capabilities to neutralize underground terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip by channeling large volumes of water into the tunnels
In cooperation between units in the IDF and the Ministry of Defense, various tools were developed to channel large volumes of water into Hamas’ terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip. This is part of a range of tools deployed by the IDF to neutralize the threat of Hamas’ subterranean network of tunnels.
These capabilities consist of installing pumps and pipes, the materialization of engineering developments, and the ability to locate tunnel shafts suitable for the deployment of these tools. The capability was developed professionally, including analysis of the soil characteristics and the water systems in the area to ensure that damage is not done to the area’s groundwater. The pumping of water was only carried out in suitable tunnel routes and locations, matching the operation method to each case.

War crimes for the right reasons
What was the war crime?
Trying to prevent more October 7’s, which Hamas has bragged they will repeat again & again. And refusing to make Israeli blood free for the taking.
I don’t see a war crime here, if you’re using civilian infrastructure is cover then there is no war crime when they take you out even if it damages the civilian infrastructure or kill civilians
There are a number of war crimes here, Hamas operating from a civilian hospital, Hamas deliberately placing civilians at risk, Hamas using civilians as a shield. The list is quite long.
Not a war crime. If the enemy is using a hospital for military purposes then it loses protection. Israel is still constrained by ‘international law’ to minimize civilian casualties, which they did.
Stupidity, lies & bigotry for the wrong reasons.
“Like something out of a movie.”
Our government is out of a movie, too. It’s just that instead of reprising Mission Impossible, we chose Dumb and Dumber.
The IDF doctors sent them to the ECU- the Eternal Care Unit.
Now they’re receiving the tender mercies of their 72 houris.
I love it — a bold, courageous and risky special forces op, as only the Israelis can pull off.
When your people are facing a vicious enemy bent on committing genocide and other atrocities against your people, you’re motivated to take risks to protect them.
Something America use to do quite well
In the past
I think U.S. special forces are still highly capable and motivated — it’s effective leadership in the White House, and, among some of the brass who’ve been infected by Dhimmi-crats’ corrosive and cancerous ideology, that’s lacking.
Speaking of cancer, if the Democrats win again, it’s only a matter of time before it reaches the “special” forces too. There’s only so many pearls you can find in a pigpen.
If crime boss and dotard, Biden, retains his bed in the White House geriatric ward, the damage done to the U.S. during his four-year residency will be irreparable, without question.
So, when does Pallywood doctor up the hospital with dozens of “dead” civilians and doctors? Used to be within a day or so, but I think they’re slipping lately (now that people are actually shooting at them).
Honestly it shouldn’t be tough to find where they are hiding… just look for potential human shields.
Also I’m going to call out Israel again. EVERY adult there should be packing with 10 rounds minimum. The only method forward for Hamas inside their border should be IEDs and rocket attacks. While they are at it- they should be training up on the IED management.
I am wondering if when they fill a tunnel with seawater if a shockwave from exploding a bomb would blow out an airlock? In particular if they have amphibious drones capable of delivering the bomb to the airlock?
taste the copper, baby
Real time intelligence means Palestinians are feeding info to the IDF and Shin Bet. Most likely PLA informants. The PLA hates Hamas. They are not above using Israeli assets to settle scores. Remember the Arab saying”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
I love good news with my coffee.
The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist-if you want to see more like this-watch Fauda!
