The IDF seeks to tighten the encirclement around Gaza

4

As of the evening of November 4, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continues an expanded ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Units of the southern IDF group, which were able to break through the battles to the Mediterranean the day before and cut off the city of Gaza from the rest of the strip, are seeking to expand the zone of control.

The northern IDF group is methodically advancing in two directions: in the northwest along the coast, and in the northeast in the Beit Hanoun area. IDF units want to tighten the encirclement around Gaza.



The IDF seeks to tighten the encirclement around Gaza

At the same time, the Israeli military tries not to engage in unnecessary long-term clashes in urban areas, but prefers to operate in open areas. At the same time, they are conducting clean-up operations in controlled areas and looking for entrances to underground tunnels. All interfering buildings are destroyed, they are blown up, shot from tanks or demolished with armored bulldozers. The tactics are simple, no house - no ambush. The city of Gaza is completely blocked, and fighting is taking place within its boundaries. The advance is supported by artillery, air and naval strikes.

Note that from October 7 to November 4, more than 8,5 thousand rockets, mortars and other ammunition were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, excluding drones. During this time, 360 thousand reservists, volunteers and conscripts joined the ranks of the IDF, bringing the total number of Israeli troops to 510 thousand. At the same time, according to the Israeli Ministry of National Security, a record 180,5 thousand applications for permission to store and carrying weapons, in 2021 there were 19 thousand similar applications, and in 2022 - 42 thousand.

    Israel continues its ground operation in the GAZA Strip.
    So what? And nothing.
    Nobody is imposing sanctions.
    Nobody puts pressure on Israeli athletes.
    Nobody suits Bucha.
    Nobody draws red lines.
    No one officially recognizes Israel as either a terrorist or an aggressor.
    Nobody collects Ramsteins.
    Türkiye alone recalled its ambassador for consultations.
    What is this? Indulging the Israeli fascists or cowardice towards the Jews?!

      No, neither this nor that. It’s just that this war does not interfere with the interests of the “world community,” but rather fits into the paradigm of a “rules-based world.” And it’s not their children who are dying under bombings; a city of millions is being razed to the ground. No one is interested in the Palestinians. No, they gave them money, playing their own political game, once upon a time... The masks are dropped. Does this still surprise you? Now a new tangle of relations is being formed here, the interests of other participating countries are being promoted. And Israel is only a name and place of reference; the fate of its citizens is also of no interest to anyone.

        Nobody cares about Palestinians

        - so, if they are watching from Uryupinsk or Kyshtym... In the West, however, there are powerful pro-Palestinian peaceful (!!!) demonstrations - Paris, London, Italy, Germany... Spain is pro-Palestinian at the government level, a nationwide campaign against Washington is being prepared in the USA, in Latin America, many have recalled ambassadors from Israel, there is no need to talk about the Muslim world - Israel is becoming an outcast, and in the Russian Federation, at the level of society, there is, like, silence and, like, harmony, and outside the Russian Federation they can see implicit support for genocide.. .

    A detachment of American and Israeli special forces was destroyed in the Gaza Strip. This was stated in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson by former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, retired American Army Colonel Douglas McGregor.
