⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/4898)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 11 Nov 2023 by 18:06⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, our forces still control of part of #Krynki village, but the AFU managed to take a forest plantation adjacent to the village and pushed our forces back. The enemy still continues to transfer reinforcements from the right bank. An AFU drone video shows a strike (https://t.me/dva_majors/28856) on a Russian column that stopped in the middle of one of the villages. This after much has been said that it is better not to travel in convoys.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, with high probability the info about the success of the AFU northwest of #Verbovoye will be confirmed, which means that our army have been pushed back from a number of positions on the heights. And near #Novoprokopovka, from the approaches to the route to #Pologi.

Israeli tanks fired point-blank at the Al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip.

The tanks are 20 meters from the hospital, they are shooting directly, and there is panic and great fear among the refugees.

This information is provided by the Palestine Red Crescent Society. According to the organization, 14 thousand civilians - mostly children and women - are sheltering in the hospital.

Japan announced the most serious threat to the country since World War II

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced the most serious threat to the country since World War II. He spoke about this during an inspection of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces at Iruma Air Base, NHK reports.

The head of government promised to allocate funding to strengthen Japan's defense, necessary, in his words, to “respond to the deteriorating security situation” around the state.

"Japan is facing the most severe and challenging security environment in the post-war era. To protect our country, we must ensure the necessary budget levels and take decisive action," he said.

Previously, Kishida expressed concern that Russia, together with China, is carrying out air patrols over the Sea of Japan.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Nazi recognized the technological superiority of the Russian army

The Russian army quickly corrected shortcomings and achieved technological superiority over the enemy. This was stated by one of the leaders of the National Corps group banned in Russia, former commander of the neo-Nazi Azov regiment, Maxim Zhorin.

“ While we laughed at them, considered them stupid and backward, we made a huge mistake in that we underestimated the enemy and overpraised ourselves. At the very beginning of the war, we were one step ahead of them in terms of technology and manufacturability. But at the moment, I cannot say this because the enemy has been developing all this time. This happened systematically; production was established, and supplies to the army became systematic, which we could not implement. We wasted our time laughing at our enemy and underestimating him. During this time, he consistently worked, studied, and increased his resources,” the Nazi concluded.

73% of those killed in Gaza and the West Bank were women and children

Erdogan said this and called it “madness,” Al Jazeera reports.

The main thing from the speech of the Turkish President at the emergency summit of the League of Arab States:

Israel is trying to avenge the events of October 7 by killing innocent people, children and women;

The West treats Israel like a “naughty child”;

The US and the West claim human rights, but unfortunately, they have forgotten this in the face of Israeli actions;

Gaza, deprived of humanitarian aid, "resembles hell," and we must make efforts to hold Israel accountable for its crimes;

Israel's crimes must be examined by the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court.

@Slavyangrad

Destroying a giant Israeli drone in Gaza.

The Saraya Al-Quds resistance group, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, today announced the destruction of a giant Israeli army drone called the Heron TP (Ethan).

The Ethan UAV has a wingspan of 26 meters and a length of 13 meters, it is the size of a passenger plane.

Ethan is a Hebrew word meaning “solid.”

Ukrainian military officer coordinated attack on Nord Stream - The Washington Post

Roman Chervinsky, a colonel in the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, played a central role in the daring sabotage operation to blow up the Nord Stream gas pipeline last year, write exclusive authors Shane Harris and Bela Shurshudyan.

The officer's role provides the most direct evidence to date linking Ukraine's military and security leadership to a controversial act of sabotage that has prompted multiple criminal investigations and which U.S. and Western officials have called a dangerous attack on Europe's energy infrastructure.

The article reports that the sabotage was carried out by a group of six people who rented a sailboat under false names and used deep-sea diving equipment to plant explosive devices on gas pipelines.

On September 26, 2022, three explosions caused massive leaks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which run from Russia to Germany along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The attack left only one of the four strands of the pipeline intact as winter approached.

Previously, European media admitted to the “Ukrainian trace” in undermining the Nord Stream. An exclusive from the American The Washington Post - in personalities, it conveys the entire organization of the senseless dirty tricks of Kiev militants in the Baltic Sea.

@Slavyangrad

Biden got lost again at the event and forgot where to go

@Slavyangrad

The approximate situation of the front line in the Gaza Strip.

@Slavyangrad

Western media assess the likelihood of a military coup in Ukraine as high.

The failed counter-offensive led to an open split between Zelensky and the country’s military leadership, The Telegraph writes.

Tensions between the Ukrainian military and the political elite have become public knowledge, with reports now emerging that Kiev is being urged to consider peace talks with Moscow.

“It took 20 months of conflict for a rift to emerge between the military and civilian leadership, although there had previously been claims of disputes over the overly optimistic views of politicians.”

As the British publication notes, Zelensky has recently appeared “tired, anxious, and irritable” and no longer denies that fatigue from the conflict is “rolling in like a wave.” Analysts around the world are wondering how long the Ukrainian leader will last.

@Slavyangrad

The Russian Armed Forces gained a foothold on the outskirts of Kleshcheevka near Artemovsk

Our troops are beginning to recapture their “counter-offensive achievements” from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to military commander Lisitsyn, our fighters gained a foothold on the northwestern outskirts of Kleshcheevka in the Artemov direction.

Right now, there are fierce battles for positions in the village.

@Slavyangrad

Hezbollah publishes footage of its fighters working with IDF units on the Israeli-Lebanese border. Likely, the Radvan special forces unit is also involved.

The video shows the use of the Dekhlaviya ATGM (a copy of the Kornet-E) and the Raad (a copy of the Malyutka), the RPO-A Shmel, the work of snipers using Type 85 and AM-50 rifles, and machine gunners from the Chinese W85. The video also captured the moment of the use of the Strela-2M MANPADS (also probably an Iranian version called Misagh-2), in the sight of which a Hermes-450 UAV is visible. There is no information about the success of the launch.

@Slavyangrad

Back to Avdeevka...

Special forces Akhmat (Kadyrov guys) and the 4th brigade of the 2AK storm Ukrainian positions in the Bakhmut direction. Only one AFU soldier gave up and saved his life.

@Slavyangrad

The Iranian President's speech at the summit turned out to be the longest yet. Outlining the US role in the conflict, Raisi called on the assembled leaders to take full control of the situation in the region and classify the Israeli army as a “terrorist organization.”

Following this, the Iranian President outlined his demands and proposals:

✔️Israeli bombing of civilians and hospitals in the Gaza Strip must stop

✔️It is necessary to boycott trade and cooperation with the Zionist entity, as well as boycott Israeli goods

✔️Islamic countries must arm the Palestinian people to resist the Zionist entity

✔️A sustainable solution is to create a Palestinian state from sea to river (i.e. with a land corridor between Gaza and the West Bank)

✔️If our meeting today does not lead to steps being taken, it will lead to disappointment among the Islamic peoples

Next came the Crown Prince of Kuwait, Mashaal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, who demanded the creation of a Palestinian state on the borders as of June 4, 1967, with its capital in East Jerusalem.

#Source (https://t.me/svezhesti/93051)

The speech of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was also striking, the beginning of which coincided with violent Hezbollah attacks on IDF border points. Here are the main quotes from Assad's speech:

✔️The only result of the failed peace is that Israeli education has become more aggressive, and the situation in Palestine has become more deplorable.

✔️The more Arab meekness, the more Zionist cruelty and massacres against us

✔️The ongoing crime cannot be separated from the way we, the Arab and Islamic countries, are only fragmentarily dealing with the recurring events related to the Palestinian issue.

✔️The emergency at our summit is not only murder, but rather Zionism that has surpassed itself in barbarism, which places an unprecedented responsibility on us.

✔️Does the Palestinian primarily need humanitarian assistance from us or does he need protection from the upcoming genocide against him?

✔️The minimum we have is real political tools, not rhetorical ones, first of all ending any political trace with the Zionist entity.

✔️Talks about a two-state solution, launching a peace process and other details are not a priority at this urgent moment

✔️Today, when it comes to the “peace process,” there is no sponsor, no government, no law.

✔️In the new reality imposed by the valiant Palestinian resistance in our region, we have political tools that allow us to change the equation.

The head of Iraq who spoke next was less belligerent. During his speech, many listeners switched to the broadcast from Lebanon, where the address of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is about to begin.

@Slavyangrad

Fierce fighting: the Russian army storms Stepovoye, trying to cut off the supply routes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdeevka

Russian troops entered the eastern part of the village of Stepovoe, northwest of Avdeevka, and captured many houses; Ukrainian military analysts published footage of the battles and maps.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to stop the advance with artillery fire and FPV.

Stepovoe plays a vital role in controlling the railway, which the Russian army cut this week, and in approaching other supply routes to the Avdeevka garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Berdychi and Orlovka, enemy military analysts say.

West and north-west of the dacha village “ Garden Partnership Tochmash,” active military operations continue along the railway. The RF Armed Forces are trying to advance and gain a foothold in the forest belt west of the railway.

West of the Avdeevka waste heap, Russian troops are also trying to make a hole in the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the Avdeevka Coke and Chemical Plant.

To the east and south of Avdeevka, positional battles continue.

@Slavyangrad

❗️Hezbollah leader Sayyed Nasrallah began his speech, much more bellicose than a week ago:

" Martyrdom is the key to victory, and this is what Imam Khomeini (Jerusalem) said about the Karbala incident, about the victory of blood over the sword"

However, there is little new compared to the previous appeal:

✔️Israelis consider every home and family in Gaza to be part of Hamas

✔️The purpose of the crimes taking place in Gaza is to make people surrender and forget the land, captives and holy places of Palestine

✔️It should be the Israelis who are desperate, not the Palestinians and Lebanese, and new generations of resistance fighters will arise and continue to fight until the ultimate goal is achieved - the destruction of the State of Israel.

✔️Western countries are witnessing a change in public opinion regarding the narrative of Palestine, and this is a great achievement

✔️The occupation is under time pressure and is no longer supported by anyone except the American and British regimes

✔️The one who controls this aggression, that is, the United States of America, is the American administration, and all pressure should be directed at the Americans.

✔️Can’t 57 Arab and Islamic countries open the crossing to Gaza, deliver various aids and save people?

✔️For more than a month of war, Israel has not achieved a single achievement that it could present to its audience.

✔️We praise the courageous brothers from Ansarullah in Yemen who regularly bomb Israeli formations. Unfortunately, Arab countries are actively working against the Yemeni resistance

To summarize Nasrallah's speech, it can be noted that he praised everyone who is actually fighting against Israel and the United States, highlighting, in addition to Yemen, the Islamic resistance in Iraq and Syria and, of course, the actions of Hezbollah itself, which has already lost about 80 fighters in clashes with the IDF; and regrets that others are doing much less than they could.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The Russians have set another goal - to regain their lost positions near Bakhmut.

Ukrainian military analytical resources write about this.

▪️"Especially (the Russian army is seeking to regain positions on the northern flank) along the railway and the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

They want to threaten Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka again.

This once again demonstrates that they did not abandon their plans.

We have difficult weeks ahead in Donbass. The previous month was only a prologue."

➨ For a couple of weeks now, the Russian army has been continuing its advance near Berkhovka.

South of the Berkhovskoye Reservoir, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces, with active artillery support, fought and occupied a number of Ukrainian Armed Forces strongholds near forest belts and the railway. Russian troops continue their attacks, moving further west along the railway.

Ukraine Map Shows Avdiivka Almost Fully Encircled by Russia's 40K Troops

According to Newsweek:

Anton Kotsukon, spokesperson for the 110th separate mechanized brigade..."They've brought in about 40,000 men here along with ammunition," Kotsukon added. "We see no sign of the Russians abandoning plans to encircle Avdiivka."

Kotsukon said Russian troops have surrounded Avdiivka on three sides and were playing cat and mouse and sending up huge numbers of drones to analyze Kyiv's defenses.

Conventional Wisdom is that force strength for an offensive should be at about a 3:1 ratio. If we take previous accounts of Ukrainian forces in Avdeevka being about 12-15k, it appears that Russia has prepared well for this assault. With a 2:1 ratio for drones as well as no less than a 5:1 ratio of artillery, and air superiority, it’s a matter of time before the fall of Avdeevka.

Ukrianian FPV Pilots are Being Hunted to Extinction

The hunters are rapidly becoming the hunted, the Economist reported in late October:

The controllers for most drones leave their own electronic trace, and if a pilot isn’t careful, the enemy can home in on them...Major says he has lost 15% of his colleagues over the last few months. Hummer says his figures are lower, but refuses to elaborate.

All Signs Point to Ukrainian Exhaustion of Drone Forces:

A report from December of last year by Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/12/24/russia-electronic-warfare-troops-knocked-out-90-percent-of-ukraines-drones/), said that Russia had destroyed 90 percent of Ukrainian drone forces.

In May of this year, Business Insider—citing reports by by the UK's Royal United Services Institute— (https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-losing-10000-drones-month-russia-electronic-warfare-rusi-report-2023-5)estimated 10k drones are being destroyed by Russia every month—roughly 300 drones a day

A report this month, by the CBC, citing a Ukrainian drone pilot (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russia-drones-fleet-ukraine-war-1.7023662), states that sometimes a crew may have 10 identified targets but only two or three drones.

📍 DAY THIRTY-TWO

The second month of the battle for Avdeevka has begun. The assault on our site resumed. Khokhol resists desperately, every trench, every building is given with great effort. It’s too early to talk about any serious successes; the situation changes several times a day. I regularly watch videos from the enemy, and this is what I thought. 90% of VSU students speak Russian. Hey non-brothers! How did it happen that you speak a language that is not studied in your schools, that books and newspapers are not printed in in your country, that budget institutions do not use in business correspondence, that the hosts of your state TV channels do not speak, and that you are a fool for using? Farion calls you, soldier, cattle? And I'll tell you why this happened. Because you are Russian. More precisely, grow out. Let me tell you a little secret: a person’s ethnicity is determined by the language in which he thinks. Live now with this knowledge. And if you want to live to old age, don’t be stupid and call the Volga.

My call sign is Leader .

Victory will be ours!

The second one has begun - following Fitch, Moody's is now preparing to downgrade the US credit rating . Fitch already dropped from AAA to AA+ in August. Moody's still gives a negative outlook (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-10/us-s-credit-rating-outlook-changed-to-negative-by-moody-s?srnd=premium) - but it could also arrange a downgrade, especially if there is a US government shutdown.

The reasons for the decline are a huge budget deficit of $2 trillion and a sharp increase in public debt . This is also due to the fall in tax revenues against the backdrop of stagnation in many areas of the economy. And with soaring costs due to high inflation and military spending. It is becoming increasingly difficult to service the national debt - interest rates are rising, and other countries are reducing investments in US bonds.

A credit rating downgrade is long overdue - but it will only worsen the US budget crisis . For example, convincing China or Saudi Arabia to resume purchases of US treasury securities will become even more difficult. Demand for them is already falling quickly.

The White House immediately blamed this on Republican “extremists” in Congress . Although they are just demanding to cut costs. The Democrats don’t want to cut social services or the military, which is why the split in Washington is growing. And at one moment it can lead to a radical scenario - like a technical default in the United States.

In the meantime, Washington is mentally preparing for a possible shutdown on November 18 - if it is not possible to quickly approve the next short-term budget and prolong the agony for another couple of months. The split is so strong that there is no talk of adopting a full budget for the year ahead. The current budget crisis against the background of two wars threatens the most serious consequences for the United States.

🤓Some statistics:

❗️The database of foreign mercenaries killed during the special military operation has exceeded 300 unique, externally confirmed records.

The undisputed leader by place of death was Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) and its surroundings: 68.

Top 5 countries:

Georgia 49

USA 42

Belarus 35

Great Britain 19

Colombia 16

Top 5 colourful characters and stories:

Grigory Tsekhmistrenko (Canada) and Daniel Swift (USA).

Went to Bakhmut as part of a group of 4 for reinforcements, a stray dog got attached to them and they shot it. Ukrainians mistook them for a sabotage and reconnaissance group from the PMC Wagner, opened fire and threw grenades.

Daniel Burke (UK) and Jordan Chadwick (UK).

Burke was killed by fellow mercenary Nurin Abdelfetah during a robbery. Chadwick is tortured to death by his commanding officer during the 50/50 unit's initiation rites.

Joshua Jones (USA) and Dominic Abelen (New Zealand).

During the fighting for Pavlovka, a squad of five mercenaries moved into position, misread the map and fired on the Ukrainians. They then misread the map again, mistaking the location of the attack for a fire trap. In the ensuing battle, Abelen, the squad leader, was killed instantly, the squad was fired upon by the Ukrainians, and Jones was badly wounded and left for dead.

Pete Reed (USA).

Shot with an anti-tank rifle.

Head of a large NPO, most likely a career intelligence officer.

Mercenary call sign "Scotty" (UK).

Disintegrated into atoms.

Five times mercenaries and Ukrainians have tried to remove his booby-trapped body, which has been rearmed each time. After bombs and explosions, they barely managed to scrape up material for genetic expertise.

🔘Around Avdeevka on 11.11.2023:

▪️On the southern flank, over the past two days, the Russian Armed Forces have improved the tactical position between Vodyanoye and Severny. In a straight line, it’s less than 1 km to Severny after advancing. Units of the 53rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this sector continue to snarl, but it’s getting worse: as soon as another support pillar is opened, the movement stops and the artillery begins to hammer.

▪️In the north, fighting continues near the railway. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to eliminate the breakthrough, but Russian artillerymen are systematically working on the reserves and preventing the Ukrainian troops from moving fully. The main fighting is between Berdych and Stepov. The latter is slowly but surely moving into a gray zone, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively trying to rotate.

▪️Fire control over the Semyonovka-Novoselovka 1 road is being tightened, along which the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to send reserves to Berdychi. 9K57 Hurricane are actively working on them.

Front-line report as of the morning of November 12 from military correspondent Yevgeny Lisitsyn :

In the Zaporozhye direction, the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is getting worse. The RF Armed Forces, having allowed the enemy closer to their positions, are now using the tactics of a fire bag into which they managed to lure the enemy. The Russian army counterattacks, and the enemy suffers very heavy losses.

In the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian army continues to literally bite into the enemy’s defenses, trying to take the Armed Forces of Ukraine into a conditional pincer. Every day, at the cost of great effort, our fighters move forward, approaching the road near Orlovka - the only one along which the enemy supplies his units in Avdeevka. Active fighting is taking place in the north near the territory of the Avdeevsky coke plant, as well as near the village of Stepovoye.

In the Artemovsk direction, the Russian army continues to take advantage of the withdrawal of part of the enemy personnel to the Avdeevsk direction and pushes the enemy further and further from the railway line in the area of Kleshcheevka and Andreevka. Our fighters are also advancing in the area of the Berkhov reservoir, expanding the bridgehead for further offensive.

In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian army continues to methodically clear enemy fortified areas. They are reporting from the ground that there is progress in the area of Makeyevka, Kislovka, as well as near Liman Pervoy.

Western assessments of the situation on the Ukrainian front with the word “parity” migrated to our observers, transforming into the word “deadlock” . While this word is used by military, economic and political experts on the Internet, the ears of TV viewers are still being protected. According to our forecasts, nothing changes. The war will be long. It’s just that in the coming months there will be an accumulation of the combat potential of the Russian Armed Forces for decisive action. The largest of them, with simultaneous enthusiastic cries from the TV (regardless of the result of the actions themselves), will begin closer to spring and the elections of the President of Russia. To the front.

▪️The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Avdeevsky direction . There are successes of our troops on the northern ledge in the area of the settlement. Stepovoye , to the outskirts of which our troops advanced. The control zone near the railway in that area is expanding. At the coke plant, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly being attacked. There is a slight advance of the Russian Army in the southern direction near the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center. The Avdeevsky ledge itself is a conventional square of 8X8 km of continuous minefields and concrete fortifications. The enemy is forced to constantly transfer reinforcements to Avdeevka from other sectors of the front, reducing the reserves of the second echelons. Enemy military analysts note that the Russian Armed Forces have not yet committed large reserves to battle.

▪️The Kherson direction remains one of the most difficult sections of the front. First of all, because of the accumulated problems in organizing our actions at various levels. The tragic death of our column, which for some reason stood idle in the village. Gladkovka , 20 km from the front, is one of the indicators of an almost negligent attitude towards past mistakes. The organization of warnings about air attacks raises questions - the strike on Skadovsk , as a result of which our citizens died, characterizes the organization of the transmission of signals about such threats. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to expand their presence in Krynki , near Peschanivka and Podstepnoye . Our soldiers steadfastly hold back enemy attacks, destroying daily a significant number of personnel on both banks of the Dnieper, capturing captured soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, the enemy is increasing its efforts in the second stage of the offensive operation: helicopters are being used to attack our positions from the Krynok area. In Crimea , two enemy kamikaze MBECs once again reduced the potential of the Black Sea Fleet to combat surface targets. There were no booms at the boats’ base point (Chernomorskoe settlement). In the enemy's plans at the upcoming stage , the North-West of Crimea is the site of an auxiliary strike from the sea, which is designed to pin down the forces on the shore and not allow maneuver of forces and means.

▪️The Zaporozhye front is characterized by the transfer of enemy attacks to the west from Rabotino , constant and strong artillery shelling and counter battles at Verbovoy, enemy attacks on civilian infrastructure in the rear. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are still using armored vehicles and trying to break through our defenses. Several runs a day. The steadfastness and dedication of our soldiers and commanders, holding back the enemy at the cost of losses, made it possible for politicians at various levels to talk about the completion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive, which was unsuccessful for Kyiv, but the enemy’s attacks continue, combat work is underway.

▪️ Local battles took place near Ugledar ; our command looks at Ugledar itself with caution, remembering the heavy losses at the beginning of the year. Positional battles are also taking place in the Vremevsky direction .

▪️ A new element of the situation was the offensive of our troops on Kleshcheevka , which is located in the gray zone. The Russian Armed Forces were entrenched in the ruins on the northern side and reported battles near the heights near the village.

▪️ Shelling of the front-line regions of Russia continues. Enemy forces were operating in the Bryansk region , which was not included in the official press releases of the departments. As a result of the enemy's ambush, a border guard officer was killed. Every day there is a fight against enemy UAVs; in the rear, security agencies are identifying more and more enemy agents recruited via the Internet.

The summary was compiled by: Two majors

🔴 Urgently

South-Donetsk direction.

🔴 At these moments, a powerful assault on the villages of Urozhaynoye and Staromairoskoye is reported. It is known that our army uses significant forces, a huge amount of armored vehicles (tanks) and manpower.

🔴 It is reported that this is not an ordinary assault, but a large-scale attack on our part. Positive results are expected today. We are watching .

🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸The Mirage of Military Might: Israel's Illusion Unraveled

In a startling turn of events that ripped through the fabric of Israeli nationalism, October 7th emerged as a day of reckoning, tearing down the long-standing edifice of Israeli military invulnerability. Hamas' audacious strike on this fateful day was not just a tactical blow; it was a seismic shockwave that reverberated through the core of Israel's militaristic identity.

Tracing back to the inception of Israel, the military stood not just as a force of defense but as a crucible of national identity, welding together a disparate populace into a unified, militarized entity. This transformation, steeped in the ethos of a warrior democracy, forged a collective psyche where the sword was mightier than the pen, and the battlefield was the arena of national validation. Yet, the events of October 7th have unmasked this as a perilous myth.

The shocking efficiency of Hamas' strike laid bare a critical truth: Israel's military, long lionized as an invincible guardian, was but a leviathan with feet of clay. This strategic blindside not only exposed the IDF's operational vulnerabilities but also symbolized the failure of a doctrine that placed excessive faith in military might over diplomatic engagement and political resolution.

The IDF's evolution into a quasi-colonial police force, tasked with the relentless subjugation of Palestinians, reveals the inherent contradiction of Israeli policy. This shift, fueled by an unyielding occupation, has not only eroded the moral fabric of Israeli society but also entrenched it in an intractable conflict, one that no amount of military prowess can resolve.

Now, post-October 7th, Israel stands at a crossroads. The mirage of invincibility has dissolved, laying the groundwork for a profound rethinking of its approach to the Palestine conflict. The choice is stark: persist in a quixotic quest for dominance through force, or embark on a path towards a lasting peace that acknowledges the complexities of the region and respects the dignity of all its inhabitants.

The global community, too, must seize this moment to recalibrate its stance. The customary rhetoric and perfunctory condemnations no longer suffice. It's time for a robust, concerted effort towards a resolution that transcends the entrenched narratives and addresses the root causes of the conflict.

In essence, October 7th was more than a military debacle; it was a clarion call for Israel to awaken from its hubristic dream of unassailable might. It's an opportunity to shed the shackles of a militaristic mindset and embrace the promise of a just peace through mutual respect and negotiation. The path ahead is fraught with challenges, but it's a journey that must be embarked upon, for the alternative is a perpetuation of cycles of violence and despair. The mirage has lifted, revealing a landscape ripe for change – a change that must begin now.

NGP RaZVedka:

⚠️ Based on the situation in the Avdeevsky direction.

Yesterday, our artillery actively compacted the Khokhla in the territory of the AKHZ, and also poured reparations on enemy targets in the settlement of Novokalinovo; the places where Khokhol forces were concentrated in the New York area were hit by fire.

To the northeast of Stepovoy, our forces have cleared the so-called “gardens”; further advance to the north and northwest near the railway continues.

Also, to the west of the ever-memorable waste heap there are battles behind the railway, near the AKHZ.

The northern flank is bursting at the seams; to “put out the fires,” the crest continues to withdraw reserves from other directions, in particular, up to a battalion of manpower has arrived from the Konstantinovka region to the Avdeevsky Front.

Such exposure of other directions is unlikely to go unnoticed, the enemy cannot but understand this, but he has no way out; the creation of hotbeds of tension along the entire front line forces the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to stretch limited forces and plug gaps in the defense with reserves, instead of disposing of them according to the original plan .

The enemy’s colossal losses after the Bakhmut meat grinder and the “fake” counteroffensive are making themselves felt, but these are only the first calls; the decline in the quality of personnel will manifest itself later and in much deeper processes.

⚡️ Israeli fighter jets fire at Shati refugee camp in Gaza

The IDF said that “terrorist infrastructure” had been discovered at the camp. Before the attack, civilians were allowed to evacuate through a secured corridor. According to the Israeli army, Palestinian militants began shooting at fleeing civilians and returned fire at them.

IDF aircraft also eliminated several militants and an anti-tank missile launch site.

🇯🇴🇵🇸The Times of Israel writes that Jordan has again airdropped humanitarian aid for an Amman-run field hospital in the Gaza Strip.

@Slavyangrad

A dense military clash is reported in Qalandia (Judea and Samaria), and locals share videos.

@Slavyangrad

The IDF again publishes a video of the activities of its troops in the Gaza Strip. This time in the frame, the Shatti refugee camp was attacked by the Israelis; according to them, there were many Hamas militants in the center; a battle ensued, which was complicated by the civilians in that camp.

But IDF-riding Merkavas evacuated the civilians and defeated everyone. This is what the official statement says.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Battles in the Artemovsk direction: Our troops conduct counterattacks near Kleshcheevka

Yesterday, information was actively published about the transfer of initiative on the southern flank of Artemovsk, in the area of Klescheevka and Andreevka, to the Russian Army.

In general, the battlefield in this front section can be characterized as one sizeable gray zone, so the information coming from there is fragmentary.

At the moment, it is known that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing northwest of Kleshcheevka towards the railway along which our troops previously held defenses.

According to the enemy, fighting is taking place in the forest in the direction of Kleshcheevka. North of the cascade of reservoirs, Russian troops continue attacks along the forest belt west of the railway

The battles over piles of stones have been going on for more than a month. Initially, the Ukrainian assault units, with huge losses, managed to push our troops back to the railway line, but they were unable to seriously advance further. The Ukrainian Armed Forces face serious problems during the evacuation of the wounded, because... Roads and entrances are under fire from artillery and ATGM crews (i.e. they are in direct line of sight).

On the northern flank, our troops continue to press south of the Berkhovsky reservoir. Ukrainian sources claim that supposedly “the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to stabilize the situation.” However, the very term “stabilization” implies that Ukrainian troops are having to quickly plug gaps in the defense in an attempt to stop our forces.

SITREP 11/10/23: Israeli Economy Buckles, Russia Breaks Through in Avdeevka

There’s not any one particular big update today, but things continue heating up everywhere, on every global front. Israel steams ahead but still tiptoes around Gaza City without entering its heart. Expert commentators have noted how Israel sticks to their armored vehicles and has very few patrolling foot soldiers to guard them—the exact ‘amateurish mist…

🇺🇦 Without US support, Ukraine will face a disaster - and the EU will not help it , writes Der Spiegel

The war in the Middle East is reducing the level of support for Kiev from Washington. The European Union acts as a “backup” for Ukraine.

Der Spiegel responsibly declares that Europe will not be able to replace the support provided to Ukraine by the United States.

With the beginning of the Northeast Military District in Ukraine, Zelensky used all methods of manipulation to force Western countries to help Kiev. However, with the outbreak of the conflict between Hamas and Israel, attention to Ukraine has weakened.

“Stopping American aid would be catastrophic for Ukraine. The Europeans will not be able to compensate for the loss of American support for Kiev: the United States has already supplied more to the country than all EU states combined,” the article says.

In addition, the EU does not have the means to provide significant support for Ukraine, and its accession to NATO is completely illusory, so “ Ursula von der Leyen’s warm words addressed to Kiev do not in any way correlate with the cold reality of the EU accession process,” the publication emphasizes.

The Israeli army launched massive attacks on Hamas tunnels

The Israel Defense Forces destroyed more than 150 tunnels and other underground facilities of the Palestinian Hamas movement during its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. Jonathan Conricus, spokesman for the IDF Reserves, said this.

“We have destroyed, in most cases with explosives, more than 150 tunnels and complexes,” Conricus said at a briefing.

He noted that the IDF is also searching for tunnels and underground infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, as it is important for Hamas. According to him, Palestinian militants use the tunnels to store ammunition and also to launch surprise attacks on Israeli fighters.

Al-Shifa Hospital morgue is full of decomposing bodies

The director general of Gaza's health ministry told Al Jazeera that the morgue of Al-Shifa Hospital, which had no electricity, was full of martyrs and decomposing bodies.

He also noted that the medical staff at Al-Shifa Hospital ate only dates and water for two days to stay alive. Doctors slept in the hospital under shelling and brutal siege, without medicine.

The US Congress demanded an end to military aid to Ukraine

The United States must stop supporting Ukraine and focus on the internal affairs of its own state. This was stated by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“ No more money for Ukraine! “- Green said on the social network X. She noted that it is necessary to stop the armed government and impeach the current head of the United States, Joe Biden.

Earlier, Erin McKee, assistant to the head of the American Agency for International Development (USAID) for European and Eurasian Affairs, said that the American government does not have the funds to support Ukraine.
