The Israel Defense Forces announced the completion of the encirclement of the largest city in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces divided the Palestinian enclave in two, cutting off Gaza City from the rest. This was announced by Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari.

At the next briefing for journalists, Hagari announced the end of the “encirclement” of the largest city in the Gaza Strip with the same name; the Israeli Defense Forces managed to divide the enclave into two parts. An operation to clear the settlement should begin soon.



Israel Defense Forces soldiers have completed the encirclement of Gaza City. They completely surrounded Gaza City

- said an IDF spokesman.


It is noted that until this moment the Israeli army conducted military operations outside urban areas, only entering the outskirts of Gaza. Now she faces an assault that could lead to heavy losses. In this regard, according to many military experts, Israel will continue to launch missile and bomb attacks on the city, trying to wipe it off the face of the earth in order to exclude at least some resistance. And only after Hamas loses the ability to resist in a single city will ground troops enter there.

At the moment, the IDF is “focused on Gaza”; the Israeli army command is not considering options for a ceasefire or suspension of hostilities. According to Hagari, the Israeli military "attacks Hamas outposts, headquarters, launch sites and launch infrastructure and destroys terrorists in hand-to-hand combat."

(...) the term "ceasefire" is not discussed at all at the moment (...) We are focused on Hamas

- added the official representative of the IDF.

        But now it’s all just beginning... Videos have already appeared on the Internet where Hamas fighters are dashing out of the ground and firing at Israeli tanks with anti-tank systems and how Hamas UAVs are dropping grenades on clusters of Israeli soldiers... So, it’s all just beginning...

          The United States, through Secretary of State Antony Blinken, expressed its concern over rumors of an imminent attack on El Fasher in North Darfur and called on warring parties in Sudan to immediately cease further attacks.

          The United States calls on warring parties to immediately cease further attacks in and around El Fasher to comply with their obligations to civilians under international humanitarian law.

      In principle, everything is correct based on the experience of past wars, you can ride through wastelands to the Middle East without encountering resistance. Hamas soldiers are not idiots to build trenches in the sand. It seems to me that everything will not be decided on the battlefield. The IDF is too long, no one is covering Gaza and Hamas with artillery.

      Now, in fact, Hamas is surrounded, but underground tunnels remain, and the question is whether Israel will be able to discover and fill them up. As I understand it, Israel is conducting a ground operation, literally clearing everything.
      That is, either the cut off territory will be leveled to the ground, then troops will enter and clear it. And most likely, Israel will adhere to the tactics of gradual entry and clearing, unless, of course, they want to fly naked in tanks and infantry fighting vehicles into the city.

      They are slowly but mercilessly implementing their plan. Hamas is doomed to destruction. They will divide the zone into squares and clear them sequentially. Larger points of resistance will be bombed from the air. Hamas does not have endless supplies of ammunition and weapons.

        Israel was left with no other choice. If Hamas is not completely defeated, they will come out of their holes and declare that they have won. And the whole world will be glad to believe. And this means that soon the Arab-Muslims will get excited and trample all over.

        For several weeks (since October 8), the Jews not only did not interfere in any way with leaving Gaza, but, on the contrary, scattered leaflets throughout the city calling for them to leave.
        But Egypt responded by closing the border with Gaza and not letting in refugees. And Hamas no longer allowed Jews to go out to see them.

        So who are the “kazlys” - Jews, Hamas or Egyptians?

      When I hear the Gaza enclave, my imagination suggests another word - “reservation”. Why isn't our fucking media talking about this? The answer is obvious - they are led by specific people. And why are they fucking, because someone really doesn’t want to work the way they have to work in war. And there is an explanation for this process too. Some people won't like it. Nevertheless, I believe that the country needs to revive the Sovinformburo, find an actor-announcer similar to Levitan’s voice, and every day, all media should broadcast... - "From the Soviet Information Bureau. During fierce battles, our troops were liberated... ". This is how our media worked during the war!
