⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/5063)🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 19 November 2023⚡️
🔹Massive airstrikes continue in the #Gaza Strip and the IDF prepares for a new phase of ground operations. Palestinian groups are making sorties, but there is no question of full-fledged counterattacks, with small groups of less than 10 people operating in urban areas.
🔹On the Lebanese border, the situation remains tense. "Hezbollah has attacked over 13 border crossings and IDF military bases, some several times. The Israelis struck nearly 30 localities with artillery and air strikes.
🔹In the West Bank, after a brief lull, mass raids and clashes between the IDF and local Arab youth took place again. The wave of violence swept through several towns and about a dozen settlements and refugee camps. The most violent clashes took place in Jenin.
🔹The Houthis from #Yemen began a new round of confrontation with #Israel by seizing a British cargo ship in the Red Sea, partly owned by a businessman of Jewish origin. The ship was towed to Hodeidah. The crew, in which, according to preliminary data, the Israelis were a minority, was captured.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇾🇪 The Yemeni Houthis published a Poster Depicting the Hijacked Galaxy Leader⚡️
💬 And the words "here we go" in Hebrew, English and Arabic. Crew members who are all not Israeli citizens are promised to be treated "as guests," according to the canons of Islam.
❗️In this case, the biggest problem for both Tel Aviv and the West in general is that the seizure of an Israeli-affiliated ship (regardless of formal registration) will become a very serious precedent if its release is not secured in the coming days.
🏴☠️ Previously, "Piracy" in this zone was the prerogative of the United Kingdom and the United States.

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/5061)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Avdeyevka - Situation until the End of 19 November 2023⚡️
🇷🇺 Russian servicemen are developing success in the #Avdeyevka front sector.
🔹On the southern flank, fighters of the Russian Army managed to break through the enemy's defence in the industrial zone near Yasinovataya-2 Station.
💬 According to colleagues from the NgP RaZVedka channel (https://t.me/negumanitarnaya_pomosch_Z/12385), this was achieved thanks to the competent coordination of assault groups, the work of the Aerospace Forces and artillery.
▪️ The fortifications in this area have been controlled by Ukrainian formations since the beginning of the so-called "ATO" in 2014.
▪️ The enemy, who did not expect a sharp breakthrough in the defence, retreated, and now the clearing and expansion of the control zone to the west continues. However, it is still too early to indulge in victory speeches. The AFU continue to gather reserves to the area and are preparing for a counterattack.
❗️Info from the network about the complete liberation of the Tsarskaya Okhota campsite is premature, fierce fighting continues.
🔹On the northern flank, without significant changes in recent days. The Russian troops managed to expand the zone of control around the treatment facilities near the Coke Plant and to occupy several enemy positions on the approaches to the plant.
📌 Nevertheless, a momentary assault on the well-fortified facility is out of the question. Artillery and the Aerospace Forces are almost continuously working on it, suppressing the enemy's activity.
▪️ In addition, fighting continues towards #Novokalinovo and near #Stepovoye (#Petrovskoye).
🔹 The AFU in turn, again tried to attack in the area of the waste heap near #Gorlovka, but came under artillery fire and retreated, losing a couple of dozen militants. At the moment, neither side controls the top of the waste heap. (⚠️Other sources claim the retake).

The number of published episodes of the destruction of American 155-mm howitzers M777 in the Northern Military District zone has reached 150!
According to statistics (https://lostarmour.info/tags/m777) from colleagues from LostArmour @lost_armour, as of the morning of November 19, 2023, 150 episodes of work on American M777 howitzers in the Northwestern Military District zone have been published. In total, the Ukrainian Armed Forces received 220 guns of this type.
Published footage of objective control confirms the destruction of 71 howitzers of this type and the damage to another 45. Another M777 was captured as a trophy. The results of the other 23 episodes of the destruction of M777 howitzers could not be accurately determined. Unfortunately, blunders were recorded in 10 episodes.
If earlier a little more than half of the episodes of destruction of the M777 were accounted for by kamikaze drones, now their share has grown to almost 2/3 of the total - 94 episodes out of 150 (of which 92 are accounted for by the Lancet and two by the Kub-UAV ). By a wide margin, barrel artillery is in second place - 38 episodes out of 150 (in most cases, adjustable 152-mm Krasnopol shells are used).
It is important to note that not all footage of these weapons hitting the network ends up online. Also, in many videos of enemy artillery destruction, it is not possible to determine the model of the gun. The actual number of lost M777s is higher.

@Slavyangrad
Operators of Russian FPV drones are destroying Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment on one of the front sectors.
@Slavyangrad
In the Kherson region, the Lancet destroyed the AHS Krab self-propelled gun. What's unusual about this?
If the data is correct and the Lancet really destroyed AHS Krab in the Kherson region, it follows that the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has reconsidered its priorities. The Zaporozhye direction, apparently, has been wholly deprioritized; units are being removed from it and transferred to more essential sections of the front, as has already happened with elements of the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade.
Previously, AHS Krab were used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces mainly to support the offensive in the Zaporozhye region and near Kreminnaya/Svatov.
If this is so, then the use of AHS Krab indicates that there are no prospects for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in areas where hundreds of units of Western equipment and tens of thousands of personnel have already been lost. The command of the Ukrainian army is looking for another, more promising direction for attack.
In addition, due to the activity of aviation and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to use self-propelled howitzers one by one, which does not allow concentrating fire, and due to the lack of long-range shells, they are forced to move artillery closer to the front line.
Apparently, the nomadic howitzer crew in the Kherson region was used for harass fire, probably to cover the landing operation on the left bank.

Hunting the Hunters
@SVOfpv reports,
In the video, in the literal sense, there is a counter-FPV fight. Just like counter-battery, only between operators.
The report includes news that Ukrainian operators continue to be tracked for purpose of hunting them down and destroying them.
Previously we reported a Ukrainian Drone operator interviewed by western reporter said that he’d lost 15% of his unit to drone operator hunters.
I expect this number to increase as Russian EW coverage expands. Given that Russia reported on the new model 2023 T-80 being equipped with dual EW systems capable of operation with a 1 km radius, it seems inevitable.

Russian Lancet UAVs in the new version began to bypass the protection of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment, exploding at a distance and releasing a “shock core” toward Ukrainian combat vehicles.
Business Insider writes about this.
The updated Lancet has a laser rangefinder consisting of two optical cameras.
“Russian Lancet drones have become a scourge on the battlefield in Ukraine and are constantly improving their range and capabilities,” lamented the Western publication.

@Slavyangrad
“Roads of death” began to appear around Avdeevka. What does this mean:
We have noted many times that Avdeevka, almost from the very beginning, tactically and strategically repeats the Artyomovsk meat grinder, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost about 70 thousand people killed. Events in Avdeevka are developing according to an almost similar scenario: first, artillery around the most critical fortified areas is suppressed, and then logistics begin to be blocked. At the same time, the depth at which Ukrainian equipment is affected increases, but the pattern does not change: the Ukrainian Armed Forces, just like in Artyomovsk, are losing military equipment and people in attempts to maintain supplies for the Avdeevka garrison. However, despite the experience of the battles for Mariupol and Artyomovsk, as well as many months of fighting in the Orekhov region, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stubbornly clings to problematic positions. It does not give orders for regrouping or retreat.
Meanwhile, the first signs of future big problems, similar to those observed around Artyomovsk before the city's fall, are already appearing.
The Russian Armed Forces are suppressing the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within a radius of at least 25-30 km from Avdeevka in the same way as happened with Ukrainian forces in Chasovoy Yar, Ivanovsky, Kleshcheevka, and Berkhovka before the assault on Artyomovsk.
Additional forces are being deployed near Avdeevka from other directions. Thus, the transfer of elements of the so-called offensive brigade - the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Magura" has already been recorded.
This formation has already suffered severe losses north of the Avdeevsky section in the Stepovoe-Koksokhim area. Also, elements of the formation were attacked in the rear, in the Ocheretin area.
Units of the 1st Brigade will presumably be redeployed to the same area. The losses of T-64BM Bulat tanks, which equipped the 1st Brigade, were recorded less than 5 km from Avdeevka.
Previously, the 1st separate tank brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was involved in the vanguard of the offensive in the South Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions.
There is a general pattern in the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command. Firstly, to try to stop the crisis in the Avdeevka area, they are not using the reserves of the new formation (if they exist) but elements of brigades that previously took part in hostilities in other sectors of the front.
Secondly, these teams are deployed in new areas without a significant break necessary for replenishment, rest, reconnaissance, and establishing interaction in a new location.
The supply of the Avdeevka group already shows the whole range of so-called mosquito logistics. At the final stage of the battle for Artyomovsk, this type of garrison support remained the only one available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The same thing is happening in Avdeevka.

EU diplomatic chief Josep Borrell: Hamas has carried out the largest massacre of Jews since World War II. In doing so, we are also witnessing the terrible humanitarian situation of Gazan civilians suffering under heavy bombardment.
Today, the UN announced the bombing of an UNRWA school in northern Gaza, injuring dozens of people. The UN considers what is happening in Gaza to be one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time. Humanitarian aid is important, but it only addresses the symptoms. It makes no sense to give someone food for dinner only to bury them after they have been killed. We need to deal with the causes.

“Many of the mercenaries come to Ukraine because it is a good mark on their resume,” - CNN
▪️One of the Ukrainian officers Dmitry Kostyuka, in an interview with CNN, said that many foreign mercenaries who came to Ukraine to participate in a special operation on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces almost immediately flee the country after seeing fierce battles.
💬 “As a rule, they don’t understand what they’re getting into,” the military man emphasized.
▪️According to him, most foreign soldiers think that the military conflict in Ukraine is like a standard shootout with the enemy, but they do not realize the scale of the battles. After spending the whole day under incessant artillery fire, the foreign mercenaries rush to terminate the contract and leave the country.
💬 “No, no, this is too much. This is not the war we signed up for,” Kostyuk reports the words of one of the mercenaries.

📈#Statistics
Since the beginning of their involvement in the conflict, 59 M109 Paladins' have been visually confirmed as directly destroyed, usually by Lancet or other loitering munition alike. However, the number of actual documented destructions is sitting below just 108 artillery systems.
The AFU received 52 from the UK, Latvia, and Norway, 100 from Italy (M109L), and 18 M109A6 from the United States. They have received around 175 of these systems, meaning only 67 remain operational.

🔻 Near the AKHZ Plant, the RF Armed Forces are attacking the Khimik Train Station (connecting to the Khimik District) and are attempting to box in the plant. If this road is captured, this will practically box the plant in, creating a semi encirclement. Near Vesele, advance to level out the frontline.
🔻 Near the Promka Industrial District, our forces cleared majority (if not all) of the remaining industrial buildings, our forces advanced into the small residential district beyond the industrial district, consolidated positions near the 2014 AFU memorial.
🔻 Near the Khimik District, the RF Armed Forces broke through the 2014 defense line and advanced to the Tsarska Ohota restaurant and beyond, officially entering Avdeevka proper from an additional axis, but also complicating the situation on the flank for the enemy forces.
✅ The map was amended to include all the aforementioned advances of our forces.

The Invisible War in Ukraine Being Fought Over Radio Waves
The drones began crashing on Ukraine’s front lines, with little explanation.
For months, the aerial vehicles supplied by Quantum Systems, a German technology firm, had worked smoothly for Ukraine’s military, swooping through the air to spot enemy tanks and troops in the country’s war against Russia. Then late last year, the machines abruptly started falling from the sky as they returned from missions.
After early success using these tools, the Russian military stumbled, analysts said. But as the war has stretched on, Russia has innovated by making smaller, mobile electronic weapons, like anti-drone guns and tiny jammers that form a radio-wave bubble around trenches.
...
“The Russians have been more nimble at responding than we would have expected from their ground behavior,” said James A. Lewis, a former U.S. official who writes on technology and security for the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “That should be worrisome for NATO.”
...
At a large round table in a base in Germany, they explained the problems they faced to a rapt audience of commanders.
“We told them probably 90 percent of the American and European systems coming to Ukraine were not prepared to meet the electronic warfare challenge,” Mr. Berezhny said.
In one November 2022 report, a Chinese defense think tank detailed how a Russian electronic attack had tricked NATO’s detection equipment, leading Ukraine to reveal the location of its own electronic defenses.
“The Russian army’s anti-drone combat capabilities are superior to those of the U.S. military,” the report said.

The Russian Armed Forces broke through the defensive line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the industrial zone, success became possible thanks to thorough preparation for the attack; by the time the assault began, it was known for certain where and with what to hit, where the mine-explosive barriers were located, in what position how many enemy soldiers were, what routes the reserves were approaching and evacuation groups depart.
Air reconnaissance units also played a big role in this, and over the past year and a half they have grown very much professionally and technically.
The foundation of all this is the organization of interaction between various types of troops: assault infantry, mechanized groups, reconnaissance, including airborne ones.
Senior commanders studied the history of previous mistakes in the SMO zone, took into account some of the nuances, and in addition ensured a high level of interaction between units. The Ukrainian Nazis were categorically not prepared for such a turn of events, did not prepare a second line of defense, and therefore retreated chaotically, abandoning the wounded, equipment and personal belongings.

Footage of the destruction of a mosque in the Gaza Strip by Israeli soldiers
Judging by the way the mosque "folded", the explosives were pre-laid inside the building for subsequent "controlled demolition".
Separately, we can note the hysterical laughter behind the scenes, presumably of one of those who mined the mosque.
If you don't like monuments and language - probably your state is not built on your land

Israeli artillery is intensively shelling an Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. Al Jazeera TV channel reports this.
According to him, as a result of massive artillery shelling, many of its patients and refugees were injured. In addition, after a shell explosion in the courtyard of a medical facility, at least one medical worker was injured.
The channel notes that Israeli forces "fire at anyone who tries to leave the territory of the Indonesian hospital."

🔥 Weapon with the power of the Sun: TOS-1A Solntsepyok. So, buckle up and get ready for a thrilling "ride" into the world of this incredible weapon!
Imagine that the enemy forces have settled somewhere in the mountains, where the terrain is very complex - hollows, gorges, ledges, ravines, and so on. In addition, the enemy has dug trenches, shelters and even underground tunnels. Obviously, it will be extremely difficult to dislodge the enemy from such positions. That's where the heavy flamethrower systems come in.
How does Solntsepyok work?
Firstly, the missile is propelled to the target by a jet engine. However, when the missile hits the ground, it does not explode in an instant. Instead, it sprays the explosive mixture as an aerosol (i.e. microscopic droplets suspended in the air). The result is something like a cloud of explosive gas that is hotter than the sun! The cloud expands and fills any irregularities in the terrain, trenches, shelters, etc. A detonator is then set off to ignite the cloud. One volley of Solntsepyok covers an area of 40,000 square metres. That's the equivalent of six football pitches and the whole area explodes at once!
The infernal temperature penetrates all trenches and shelters. It destroys equipment, buildings and manpower. Moreover, the most powerful blast wave (only the atomic bomb is more terrible than the Russian Solntsepyok) spreads much further than the 40 thousand m2 mentioned. In other words, it is not just a weapon, but a true hell-raiser.
The Russian army has been using Solntsepyok since the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Thermobaric shells burn out shelters, command and support centres, ammunition dumps and artillery positions.
In short, the TOS-1A Solntsepyok is a true power to be reckoned with. This bad boy is a game-changer on the battlefield that will strike fear into the hearts of any enemy.
Solntsepyok is hot as the sun, as deadly as a nuclear explosion, and only Russia produces this weapon!

“There are corpses everywhere on the street, houses are falling on civilians”
Evacuee Ilnajar Ismail, who flew from Cairo to Moscow, told Zvezda what the situation is now in the Gaza Strip .
“ This is a complete nightmare. Because there are corpses everywhere on the street. Houses are falling on civilians, bombs are being thrown at them. If you get sick, you can’t go to hospitals, because hospitals are collapsing ,” says Ilnajar.
The evacuated resident is from the northern Gaza Strip. According to him, on the very first day of his move from the northern part of the region to the south, the Israeli army demolished houses. Ilnajar also said that his daughter’s house was also destroyed.
“ We really need to stop this war! America and Europe approved it, all we have left is Russia, which will stop this war ,” said Ilnajar Ismail.

The Russian military widely and successfully uses Lancet loitering ammunition in Ukraine.
These highly accurate and compact drones are difficult to detect and neutralize on an unpredictable flight path, complicating the response efforts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The updated Lancet drones have the ability to bypass the protection of Ukrainian equipment, exploding at a distance and releasing a “shock core” towards the vehicle. This was reported by Business Insider.
It is clarified that the new drones appear to be equipped with lidar technology, including a laser rangefinder from two optical cameras.
“Russian Lancet drones have become a scourge on the battlefield in Ukraine and are constantly improving their range and capabilities,” the publication noted.

💥 The Russian Army has a technological advantage that is a source of problems for AFU, Forbes acknowledges.
The magazine notes that the Russian Armed Forces have found success with Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. The UAV is difficult to detect and hit because of its unpredictable flight path, the publication emphasises.
In addition, the Russian electronic warfare system Pole-21 jams the GPS signals necessary for the Excalibur rounds used by AFU, the material says (https://www.forbes.com/sites/vikrammittal/2023/11/19/new-technologies-could-help-resolve-ukraines-artillery-challenges/?sh=65e993d738d6):
💬"This results in the rounds veering off their intended course and not striking their target."

Israel is moving to a tougher phase of the war in the Gaza Strip, WSJ reports.
The focus shifts to the south of the Gaza Strip, where the IDF faces its most difficult phase of the war.
Israeli troops have largely succeeded in taking control of the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
At the same time, Hamas’s military potential has only been partially destroyed, and the group’s key leaders are at large. High-ranking Israeli officers and analysts are increasingly talking about this.

Ukrainian channel Rezident:
The Avdeevka stranglehold continues to tighten, and the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has practically stopped; the city is in operational encirclement.
Information about the counterattack by Ukrainian troops has not been confirmed, and the Deep State telegram channel does not confirm this counterattack. According to him, the Russians advanced in the north towards Novokalinovoye.
Judging by the dynamics of the Deep State map over the past five days, the Russians have advanced to the northwest of Stepnoy, south of Vesyoly and from Yasinovataya.
That is, the Russians continue to implement their plan for the gradual encirclement of Avdeevka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces can stop it with a counterattack on the flanks, as was the case near Bakhmut in May. But the Russians obviously take this into account, and according to the Ukrainian military, they are strengthening their flank positions.

War Reports - 2023-11-21 (Breaking News)
Indirect confirmation of the IDF's high losses in armored vehicles. Israel has suspended an export deal to sell hundreds of Merkava tanks to foreign forces amid a decision to re-expand its armored forces. At the same time, the IDF began an urgent operation to purchase dozens of D9 bulldozers, which are used in battles in the Gaza Strip, and the bulldozers are currently being adapted to a remote control system.
