— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇾🇪/🇸🇾 26th day of the war, November 1st, status update and major events:
– Heavy airstrikes in the Gaza strip. Several dozens of wounded Palestinian civilians were transported to Egypt through the Rafah crossing for emergency care.
– Sporadic rocket barrages from Gaza into surrounding Israeli settlements.
Ground situation in Gaza:
– Israeli armor and mechanized infantry units have advanced from As-Siafa in the northwest, and have reached the Salah Khalaf street 2.5km deep into the Gaza envelope, establishing control over a narrow strip of land along Gaza's north-western beach area on the outskirts of Gaza City.
– In the north of the Wadi Gaza area, which is located in the middle of the strip and seperates northern Gaza from southern Gaza, Israeli forces have advanced to Dahdouh street on the southern outskirts of Gaza City just north of Al-Mughraqa, after penentrating from the east. They are now 1km away from Al-Rashid street near the beach, which is the last road connecting Gaza City to Khan Younis and the rest of southern Gaza. The Israelis aim to capture this road as soon as possible.
– In the north and northeast, Israeli forces control the farmland near the outskirts of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun. Today, they made their first limited entry into the urban environment of Beit Hanoun, establishing control over a few residential blocks.
– From the east, Israeli forces advanced into Jabalia Camp in a very narrow spearhead, reaching quite deep into the center of Jabalia, up to the Jabalia Elementary School for Boys. While this entry is deep, it is like a needle; sharp but narrow. If the IDF gets cut off in this area, they will have to deal with an encirclement.
– According to official Israeli statistics, 16 IDF soldiers were killed during fighting in Gaza today. However, Al-Qassam claims many more Israeli casualties. They also released a video showing the targeting of IDF troops with a grenade dropped from a quadcopter.
Outside of Gaza:
– Yemen's Ansarullah, also known as the Houthis, carried out two attacks against Israel today using drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Their military spokesman Yahya Saree officially claimed responsibility for the first time, and vowed to continue and increase attacks on Israel in support of Palestine.
– The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the U.S. base in Al-Tanf, Syria, with two suicide drones in the early morning. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq also reportedly held an important meeting involving different factions, which resulted in a decision to expel all foreign military forces from Iraq by any means necessary.
– Hezbollah carried out several attacks on IDF sites across the border. They issued a statement in support of the resistance in Palestine and Gaza, and said their finger is on the trigger. At night, Hezbollah announced the downing of an armed Israeli UAV above Al-Malikiyah with a surface-to-air missile.
– As a response to attacks by Hezbollah, the IDF shelled South Lebanon with artillery and carried out targeted drone strikes against Hezbollah positions.
– Mortar fire from Syria struck empty agricultural lands in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
– The Wall Street Journal, citing the South Korean intelligence services, claims that Kim Jong Un instructed the government of the DPRK to start supporting Palestine and other resistance factions with weapons.
