Via Ukrainian channel Rezident:
"Russia's role in the Middle East is a key factor for Israeli foreign policy"
Israel's largest English-language media outlet, the Jerusalem Post, published an article with a message about the need to maintain close ties between Israel and Russia.
The publication is based on an interview with General Israel Shafir, who once participated in Operation Opera in Iraq.
The general unexpectedly issued a whole series of anti-Ukrainian theses:
1. According to Shafir, Ukraine is “a strange phenomenon, sandwiched between the West and the East, and the Ukrainian conflict has nothing to do with Israel.” General Shafir believes that Ukraine should be grateful for the humanitarian assistance provided by Israel. There can be no talk of any military support for Kyiv. Moreover, the general calls on the Israeli leadership to “keep Russian-Israeli relations as close as possible.”
2. The Israeli general opposed Biden’s initiative to combine military assistance to Ukraine and Israel into one package. “This initiative is an attempt by the Biden administration to somehow push through support for Ukraine, which Republicans oppose.”
3. Russia has a unique position in the Middle East region (influence on Syria and Iran). Accordingly, relations with Moscow are a matter of ensuring Israel's national security. "We have a responsibility to maintain good relations with Russia because it gives us leverage over Iran."
Despite the expectations of many in Ukraine, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will not change Tel Aviv’s position towards us. In the public consciousness of the Western audience (and the Jerusalem Post is focused specifically on the EU countries and the USA) they are already working on the thesis that the destruction of relations with Russia is a threat to Israel. This is why Netanyahu has not accepted Zelensky. As General Shafir himself said: “Netanyahu understands the peculiarities of the game (with Russia) and does it as competently and beneficially as possible.”

From Kadyrov:
Direction Kremenskoe. Territory of Serebryansky forestry. The legendary group "Cupid" of the "Hunter" detachment is working.
⠀
Our scouts identify the enemy’s location, and then the strike forces get down to business and methodically dismantle the enemy’s fortified areas. Detachments of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are diligently digging trenches, setting up firing positions, trying to gain a foothold in this territory. However, all attempts made are in vain.
⠀
Effective aerial reconnaissance nullifies enemy efforts. After detecting positions, our copters take exhaustive measures to destroy them. And so every day. This is a very difficult job that requires each fighter to have a fair amount of endurance, patience, and relevant skills and abilities. In short, not everyone will be able to work at this level.
⠀
I wish good luck to the defenders of the Fatherland! I am convinced that they will continue to delight us with their successes on every sector of the front. AKHMAT-POWER! ALLAHU AKBAR!

🇺🇦☠️ According to BBC, almost 20,000 Ukrainians have escaped from the country to avoid Zelensky's mobilisation.
Ukrainians were crossing the border illegally by swimming to Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia between February 2022 and August 2023.
However, Ukrainian border guards caught another 21,000 people who were trying to save themselves from Kiev Nazi regime.
Earlier, the Ukrainian deputy defence minister said that there were "hundreds of thousands" of men trying to avoid the conscription.

📌Southwest of Avdeevka:
🔻No changes, they continue to the north of Vodyanoye and Opytny, ours took a landing 1.5 km from high-rise buildings in Avdeevka. Perhaps something has changed recently, but there are no messages yet.
📌Southeast of Avdeevka:
🔻1) In the area of the Tsarskaya Okhota, ours retreated to the line of the DKAD.
🔻2) Activation occurred in the area of Promka and Vineyards (dachas). The exact configuration of the front here is unknown, but there is a visual reference indicating that Promka is bypassing from the north. Most likely, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will soon leave this line of defense, which drank a lot of the blood of the DPR NM in 2016-2017.
📌Northern flank:
🔻1) Advancement continues towards the Zarya dachas at the railway fork in front of Ocheretino. According to Ukrainian sources, they are 1.5 km away. Also, advancement in this area means actions against Novokalinovo - the heights to the south of it are being occupied.
🔻2) At the same time, the line along the Avdeevka - Ocheretino railway is expanding both to the north, towards Ocheretino, and to the south, to the Khimik railway station.
🔻3) Petrovskoye (Stepnoe) - gray zone. The struggle for the nearest landings and the northern flank continues.
🔻4) Water treatment plants - so far there are no visual references to their capture.
🔻5) AKHZ - thanks to the increased railway line to the south, ours are getting closer to the plant’s refractory warehouse.
⭕️Conclusion:
🔻Apparently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have concentrated on protecting the flanks in front of Avdeevka (Tonenkoye - Severnoye, Petrovskoye - Novokalinovo, AKHZ) and are gradually reducing the number of the garrison in Avdeevka. This explains our vigorous progress in Promka.
🔻We are currently awaiting confirmation of progress at the water treatment plant and related ponds. If it is confirmed, there is a question of accessing the Quarry and taking the waste heap to the east of it. Without intensive actions in the direction of Avdeevka itself, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to concentrate on the flanks; it is necessary to provoke them to introduce a large number of military personnel into Avdeevka itself in order to crush their supplies.

Funding for Ukraine and Israel will continue from secret US military budgets
The absence of signed military and financial packages does not mean that Washington will stop supplying its satellites.
Yuri Rogulev, director of the Franklin Roosevelt Foundation for American Studies at Moscow State University, told Paragraph about this:
“There is no need to be naive that these countries will remain without help until January. The military handles supplies within its own budgets. There are closed parts of the budget - the budget of the CIA or the Pentagon, and it’s huge.”

The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with an additional two billion euros of military assistance. This was stated by the Kingdom's Minister of Defense Kaisa Ollongren, Reuters reports.
“Help is a sign of unwavering support for Kyiv’s war against Moscow,” the head of the defense department emphasized.
It is noted that the allocated assistance will be part of a broader package that the kingdom will provide to Kyiv next year. The assistance will include an initial €102 million in humanitarian aid and economic recovery. At the same time, assistance can be increased if necessary.

Kyiv wants to receive more modern modifications of American F-16 fighters, since outdated models will not be able to effectively resist Russian Su-35s, official representative of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat said on the Rada TV channel.

Direct US Funding
US Foreign Assistance in Amernia increased by 2 million dollars for FY 2023 to 47 million. I imagine it will have a steep increase in funding for FY 2024. This amount obviously doesn't include US government sponsored NGOs used to further US interest, which I'm sure are operating there.

This short collection of articles will give you a better understanding of how America conducts Foreign Policy.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to retreat if the West stops helping Kiev, Zelensky said at a meeting with representatives of foreign media.
“Right now I’m focused on getting help from the West. Their attention has been shifted due to the situation in the Middle East and other reasons. Without their support we will retreat."
According to Bloomberg, Zelensky spent the whole week convincing Ukraine’s international partners that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be able to prepare for battles this winter.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 On the failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ summer counteroffensive: a view from the enemy’s side
After the Western media began to openly write about the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction, evidence from direct participants on the part of the Ukrainian formations gradually began to emerge in the information field.
The other day, one of the propaganda resources of the Kiev regime published an interview with the ex-commander of the company of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, who lost his leg in the very first days of the fighting. Several points can be highlighted in it:
▪️The idea of the counter-offensive was based on the fact that Russian troops were supposed to flee from positions from only one type (!) of Bradleys and Leopards. The small village of Rabotino, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to capture in six months, according to the plan, should have been taken on the first day of the offensive.
▪️Problems with control led to high losses: some companies were put out of action in 15-30 minutes, some in even more record time. The Russian Armed Forces knew the advance routes of the Ukrainian formations and hit them with artillery and ATGMs, and also used remote mining.
▪️The interlocutor especially notes the survivability of American Bradleys. He also claims that American instructors trained his company for a long time and meticulously, and not in the same way as often happened with other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at foreign training grounds.
Moreover, for the Kyiv regime, the 47th Ombr was truly an “elite” brigade. If even in the absence of success it suffered great damage, then one can roughly imagine the losses of other, much more ordinary units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Rybar: https://t.me/rybar/54271
The Ukrainian Armed Forces spent $200 thousand trying to destroy the crew of the Giatsint-B gun in the Zaporozhye region.
Our artillerymen inflicted enormous damage on the enemy, destroying dozens of pieces of equipment, including foreign ones. After this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided that it was time to take revenge, and twice hit the Hyacinth crew with missiles from the HIMARS GMLRS.
But the strikes did not stop our artillerymen - the rockets only destroyed the water bottles and knocked out the shower. The crew completed the work and left the position. And now he told and showed the Zvezda correspondent how it all happened.

Regarding Avdeevka:
Currently, the Ukrainians have applied most of their resources to stabilizing the flanks of the Avdeevka encirclement operation. They are hoping that the long-established fortifications facing Yasinovataya will hold, as the Russian Army has—understandably—not prioritized this direction, seeking to preserve servicemen lives.
This has put the Ukrainians at a disadvantage in the industrial area of Avdeevka fronting onto Yasinovataya. As a result, the Russian Army has been able to push into this sector, leading some TG channels to even claim that the industrial area is on the verge of being abandoned, with the Ukrainians pulling back to the residential sector of Avdeevka proper.
In reality, of course, the Ukrainians face a choice:
1) Chance it against a slow and methodical Russian push against the southeastern part of Avdeevka, while trying to keep the logistical and supply neck of the bag open. This would essentially become a repetition of the Artyomovsk operation (provided the Ukrainians manage to keep the Orlovka route open, somehow); or,
2) Pull back the reserves holding the encirclement from forming to defend the industrial area. This is the preferred option for the Russian Army, as it could minimize casualties, provided the cauldron is formed.
However, as the industrial area contains a number of dominant heights overlooking the city (see map 2), something that was not the case in Artyomovsk (see map 3), the first option is equally perilous for Ukraine. All the more so because there is absolutely no guarantee that they could avoid a full encirclement.
Damned in both cases. The optimal decision for Ukraine is to withdraw to the next line of defence. As long as Zelensky is in power, this—thankfully—will never happen. While the fall of Avdeevka is unlikely to cause an immediate cascade failure of the Ukrainian Donetsk and Donbass front, it will afford the Russian Army significant operational space to start bringing such a cascade failure to fruition (see this post). (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/72909)
@Slavyangrad /GB
What should the Ukrainians do? Here is what I think:
1) Withdraw behind Oskol from the left-bank Kupyansk and the Oskol-Zherebets pocket;
2) Withdraw from the Seversk, Chasov Yar, and Novogrodskoye-Dzerzhinsk (Niu-York-Toretsk) areas to the Izyum-Svyatogorsk-Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Konstantinovka line.
3) Withdraw from around Donetsk (including Avdeevka, Kransogorovka, Ugledar, etc.) to the Pokrovsk-Velikaya Novoselovka line.
4) Abadon their counteroink “gains” and go back to the Orekhov-Guliay Pole line.
5) Forget about the idiotic trans-Dneprian “bridgeheads” near Krynki, etc.
Then sit in defence, gather strength, build fortifications and pray for a ceasefire.
This is not meant to suggest that Russia can easily take these areas. Not at all, the war will continue being bloody and difficult whatever happens. But the Ukrainians are facing a financial catastrophe and military deficits of all kinds other than manpower.
By way of a comparison—the Russian withdrawal from right-bank Kherson allowed the Russian Army to crush the Ukrainian counteroink. Ukraine’s refusal to abandon Artyomovsk predetermined the fatal outcome of its summer-fall 2023 offensive.
Of course, these withdrawals will never happen—the already-fragile fascist Zelensky regime could be swept away as a result. So, here we have the Ukrainian zugzwang, in many ways self-imposed.
@Slavyangrad /GB
I have resolved for myself that I don’t care about Lvov. As long as the good people of the multiethnic population in the area outlined on the map are protected by their brethren in Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia from the Ukrainian Nazis and re-integrated into their homelands, Ukraine should continue to exist in the environs of Lwow as a warning to future generations of the dangers of fascism and reliance on US largesse.

NGP RaZVedka:
📍 Based on the situation in the Kherson direction. Krynki.
The enemy continues to hold a bridgehead on the territory of the populated area, the tactics are the same: relying on drones, a huge number of FPVs and Maviks.
The movements of even individual fighters are tracked; therefore, even short movements can drag on for several hours.
When an enemy drone is destroyed in the square where it falls, enemy artillery begins to strike, the reaction speed is fast - this is explained by the direct connection of the drone operator with the artillery crew, a rather effective tactic.
Also, the enemy is tracking down the accumulation of ammunition, in this regard, we highly recommend that our boys do not neglect camouflage, even if you only have a few mines or wogs lying around - a shovel and a net are a warrior’s best friends, and laziness is the enemy. According to the bookmaker, which can be considered, it will definitely arrive, this is an axiom, and at this moment you may be nearby.
However, it would be wrong to say that the enemy’s position here is absolutely cloudless, as it was some time ago - this is not the case.
Strikes from our side are carried out, some are quite effective, the enemy has known difficulties with evacuating the 300x, only heavy ones are evacuated, minor injuries are not even discussed, the Ukrainian has a lot of irretrievable losses.
However, with all this, one should not assume that losses in manpower are of any concern to the enemy command. There are enough infantry reserves; they will be used for meat as long as they are available.
Therefore, cast iron treatment, which is already producing results, will be continued; there is still enough work for landscape designers.

🇺🇸🤝🇮🇱 ❌🇵🇸Facade of Discord: Exposing the Hypocrisy Behind US-Israel 'Tensions' Amid Gaza's Despair
The portrayal of a rift between the US and Israel, as suggested by some Western media like The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/16/israel-under-pressure-as-us-questions-gaza-strategy-and-postwar-plans), is a well-orchestrated facade that crumbles under scrutiny, especially when contrasted with the grim realities in Gaza. This narrative of discord is sharply at odds with the ongoing genocide in Gaza, where the relentless influx of American arms into Israeli arsenals speaks volumes of the US's true stance. Far from being a mere spectator, the US is a crucial enabler in this unfolding catastrophe, its diplomatic masquerade starkly contradicted by its actions.
The supposed discord is most tellingly exposed in the US's maneuvers within the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Its persistent veto of resolutions demanding a full ceasefire in Gaza flies in the face of any alleged disagreements with Israel. If the US truly harbored concerns, why then does it persistently stymie efforts towards a ceasefire? This glaring contradiction unmasks a deep-seated duplicity in US foreign policy, revealing a nation not as a peacemaker but as a perpetuator of endless war and chaos.
This duplicity is thrown into even starker relief when compared to the US's response to other global crises, like in Ukraine. The US’s vehement denunciation of Russia conduct in Ukraine stands in stark contrast to its unwavering support for Israel, despite mounting global condemnation and a spiraling civilian death toll in Gaza. This double standard transcends mere diplomatic inconsistency; it is a glaring indictment of the US's hypocritical stance in global conflicts. The continued supply of arms to Israel amidst a humanitarian catastrophe, while simultaneously championing peace and human rights elsewhere, utterly undermines any claim to moral authority or ethical consistency in its foreign policy.
In essence, the US's diplomatic posturing over Gaza is nothing but a thin veil, a smokescreen concealing its active complicity in the ongoing devastation. The narrative of a US-Israel rift is nothing more than a diversion, a cover for the US's direct involvement in the horrors of Gaza. By obstructing UNSC resolutions for peace and persistently arming Israel, the US has transcended the role of a bystander to become an active participant in the conflict. This glaring disparity between diplomatic rhetoric and tangible actions compels us to ask: Does the US genuinely commit to peace and justice in its international dealings, or are these professed values merely a facade, overshadowed by more cynical, odious realpolitik considerations? The answer, tragically, is all too apparent amidst the ruins and sorrow of Gaza.

⚠️ Based on the situation in the Avdeevsky direction.
⭕ On the northern flank , the development of success in the railway area continues, a lot of work is being done to consolidate the occupied lines; sooner or later, for further advancement, fortified positions are needed that can be relied upon.
In the Stepovoye area, consolidation efforts are also underway.
Artillery and aviation are operating against enemy targets in Novokalinovo and on the territory of Avdeevka itself.
The enemy is snarling with FPV drones, Bradleys are working, a Leopard was spotted in the north today.
⚠️ Along the southern flank of the Avdeevsky direction separately.
Message directly from the Industrial Zone: The information that the Little Russian allegedly left the industrial area is not true, the Little Russian was still sitting in the western part of the industrial area, there is no need to rush with beautiful reports about the flight of the enemy, you should only trust what you see with your own eyes , and not rumors and free retellings of friends.
At the same time, let’s also mention the information that surfaced earlier, that we control no more than 40% of the industrial zone - by the time of publication, the latter was exactly two days out of date, and at the time of publication, this information reflected the situation “on the ground” a little less than nothing.
At present, like yesterday, 60% of the industrial territory is confidently controlled , now there is a relative calm, it is not due to the exhaustion of potential, a certain set of measures is necessary for further work.
Avdeevka will be free, everything will be as Russia needs.

Those who are now in critical condition, I am afraid, will also die. Internally displaced persons also face dire humanitarian conditions.
The hospital has turned into a cemetery, a prison, and Israeli barracks at the same time; the Israeli military shoots at everything that moves on the territory of the hospital,” the director said.

Heavy fighting on the Zaporozhye front: the enemy again changes the vector of attack, attacking Verbovoe in waves
▪️In the Orekhovsky direction, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reduced the intensity of attacks at the Kopani-Rabotino line, regrouping and preparing for new waves of offensive.
▪️In recent days, the enemy has again shifted the vector of his main efforts to Verbovoye , sending waves of assault groups of 10-15 militants in several directions, trying to storm our trenches.
▪️ Airborne troops and motorized riflemen from Chuvashia repel enemy attacks, meeting with fire from tanks, artillery, kamikaze drones, etc. The enemy's losses per day here are approximately about a hundred militants.
▪️In the area of Rabotino and Kopani, the 291st regiment of the Southern Military District carried out counterattacks, and also worked on timely identified clusters of units leading the regrouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️In the Novoprokopovka area, oncoming battles also continue, the enemy tried to attack, was covered, and then our 70th regiment carried out counterattacks.

⚠️ URGENTLY! Based on the situation in the Avdeevsky direction.
The Russian Armed Forces conducted reconnaissance in force on the territory of AKHZ ; the enemy concentrated a large number of firing points in the eastern part of the plant, including positions for firing from anti-tank systems.
At the moment, our artillery is destroying identified firing positions and ammunition storage sites.
The enemy’s position at the plant can hardly be called good, however, this will clearly not be an easy walk for our forces, so it is very important to bleed the enemy as much as possible with artillery fire and bomb strikes.
Also today, reconnaissance in force was carried out in the settlement of Stepovoe ; we recall that earlier the enemy abandoned the settlement and retreated into forest plantations, intending to lure our infantry into unfavorable positions under artillery fire.
Good luck and good luck to our soldiers!

⚡️The GUR of Ukraine, following Zelensky, also stated that Russia is preparing “Maidan-3” to overthrow the president and destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
As Andrei Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, stated in a commentary, “a Russian information attack is already underway.”

⚡️ USS Eisenhower approaches the Persian Gulf
If the USS Eisenhower sails through the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, it will be the first US aircraft carrier visit to the Persian Gulf since 2020. A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the carrier's location but declined to say whether it would enter the Gulf.
❗️ In mid-October, the Pentagon sent USS Eisenhower to the Eastern Mediterranean to complement the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford amid the Palestinian-Israeli conflict;
❗️ On November 5, the Ohio-class nuclear submarine USS Florida, capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 1.6 thousand km, also passed into the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal on November 5;
❗️ In general, there are currently two carrier strike groups in the Middle East - one with the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford near Israel, the second with the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower near Iran;
❗️ In addition, in the Eastern Mediterranean and northern Red Sea there are three large amphibious assault ships of the US Navy's amphibious assault group, led by the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan. The ships house the 26th Marine Expeditionary Battalion, numbering about 2.5 thousand people.

EU will not be able to replace declining US aid to Ukraine - Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/as-u-s-wavers-on-ukraine-aid-europe-steps-up-baeec294?mod=hp_lead_pos6)
The Pentagon has fewer funds at its disposal to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes WSJ. Now, the Pentagon has about $5 billion in its budget to continue supplying weapons to Kiev. Because of this, military aid packages are being reduced.
Europe declares its intention to continue supporting Ukraine in the coming months, even with a reduction in assistance from the United States. EU officials have said that the main thing for them is that Kiev remains intact until the US elections in November 2024.
But Europe simply does not have enough resources to replace declining US aid.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦Battle for Avdeevka: The Russian Army is advancing in brutal battles, the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot repel the offensive
Stepovoe, directions Ocheretino, Novokalinovoy, Koksohimzavod, and the Avdeevka industrial zone are the epicenters of the fighting.
Ukrainian military analysts again write about the most challenging situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces:
“The Russians have not been stopped and are having tactical successes. Now we can only talk about attempts to delay them, not stop them. And even for this, the prospects are unknown. Because the balance of forces and means, as well as the operational situation, do not yet allow us to say anything positive.”
To the east of the Avdeevsky coke plant, active military operations continue. An increasing part of the AHKS is moving into the gray zone due to the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Also, the RF Armed Forces have success along the railway.
South of the Avdeevsky waste heap, Russian troops continue attacks, moving towards the dacha village “ Yagodka.”
Also, the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance in the industrial zone north of Yasinovatsky Lane in the southeast of Avdeevka. “The situation here is very difficult,” admit enemy analysts.
Russian troops are developing success in the industrial zone north of the dacha village “ Niva ” (garden partnership “ Vinogradniki ”).
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its report reports that the Russian Armed Forces are conducting assault operations in the Keramik areas, east of Novobakhmutovka, Stepovoy, Avdeevka and south of Tonenky, where 17 attacks were recorded. Under artillery and mortar fire, Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in more than 15 settlements, including Alexandropol, Ocheretino, Stepovoe, Avdeevka, Severnoe, and Netailovo.

@Slavyangrad
On the northern flank of Avdeevka, the offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces intensified to the south and southwest of the waste heap towards the coke-chemical plant and the dacha area.
Progress has been made in the forest belts near the railway, and intense fighting continues almost on the plant's territory (in some places in the area of the first buildings).
The situation changes frequently; we are monitoring the status as it develops.

Ukraine will not receive new aid from the United States until mid-December. This is the most optimistic forecast. There is a possibility that Ukrainians will not see the support of their American allies until next year. Bloomberg reported this by quoting surveyed lawmakers.
The agency added that mass support for Kiev is already “bursting at the seams.” And this is because the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has reached a dead end.
@Slavyangrad
One of the main German media is sounding the alarm: “The Kremlin has inflated the liquefied gas bubble in the EU! Europe must no longer fill Putin's war chest!
The fact is that the volumes of Russian pipeline gas that have left Europe are now being replaced by Russian but liquefied gas, which is much more expensive. The situation is unique in that Europe itself has put itself in this awkward position.
And the worst thing is that there is no way to refuse Russian gas, because according to documents it is Qatari or even from the United States. So, Europe will not stop filling “Putin’s war chest” anytime soon.

Operational situation in the Gaza Strip
Judging by the map, the IDF cut off Gazans from the coast and took control of the movement of civilians to the south.
However, there remains a small area that apparently remains under the control of Hamas in the north of the enclave.

The Israeli military gave an hour to evacuate people staying at the Al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip – Al Jazeera
According to the publication, there are now about 7,000 people in the complex, including more than 300 patients are in critical condition. Hospital staff consider the IDF's demands impossible to meet.
“They don’t have ambulances to transfer patients and premature babies to the south [Gaza],” Al Jazeera correspondent Yumna ElSaid said.
In the children's ward, there are now "at least 35 premature babies who have been out of their incubators for eight days due to lack of oxygen and lack of electricity," ElSaid said.
Thirty-nine children were left without incubators; four died late Friday and five are now seriously ill, the Arab military correspondent added.

War Reports - 2023-11-19 (Breaking News)
It seems that the mere presence of airborn MiG-31s has had such an effect on Ukrainian economics that Zelensky publicly announced on telegram today he has asked for air alerts to no longer respond to them. — “Gave a separate order today to the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff to respond to the bearers of "daggers" who stop our country for hours due to an air alert. Our level of air defense and, in general, readiness for missile threats allows us to somewhat modernize the response - without unnecessary stops in the country. It is important to millions of our people. I am waiting for suitable offers.”
