Operation Protective Edge: Ground Phase, Day 7

Mass surrender: 150 Palestinian terrorists surrender to IDF in Gaza

(Times of Israel) Dozens of Palestinian terror operatives, most of whom were said to be members of Hamas, surrendered Wednesday to IDF soldiers during raids in the southern Gaza Strip cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis.

The operatives, who came out of hiding spots with their hands raised above their heads, were taken into Israeli custody for further questioning.

In total, 150 Palestinians were arrested, but only 70 of them who were suspected of carrying out terror attacks were transferred under tight security to IDF Intelligence and Shin Bet facilities for interrogation, an IDF spokeswoman told The Times of Israel, adding to 28 operatives already captured. The remaining detainees were later released, Army Radio reported.

A picture of the Gazans posted on Facebook by Israeli Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz showed two rows of captives wearing only underwear and shoes, on their knees in the sand. They were stripped of their clothes in order to ensure they were not carrying weapons.
TEHRAN - Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Palestinians Wednesday to keep fighting Israel and to extend a conflict that has killed nearly 700 Gazans to the occupied West Bank.
IDF drone unit source: We are up in the air 24/7, carrying out 100 flights a day
"We are up in the air 24/7, carrying out 100 flights a day," the source said. "IDF battalion and brigade commanders, and intelligence officers, won't let us leave the air. They've come to rely on the intelligence we provide," the source said.

















Terror tunnel found under Gazan hospital. Think the UN Human Rights Commission for Human Rights will call this a war crime? I doubt it.
By design, many of the tunnels have entrances in the heavily populated Shijaiyah district, where the Israeli offensive has been concentrated. One was found underneath al-Wafa hospital, where Hamas also located a command post and stored weapons, according to Israeli officials.
