Israeli-Hamas War News & Updates

for some reason they want them to be deported to Europe?

Seems to me like we are missing some backstory. From what little i know of these guys they are some hard Israeli right...
And lemme tell you, there are reasons why those are not huge fans of Europe in generality, and not for some conspiracy theory stuff... but for broadly the same kind of shit why European countries have highly emotional spats over migration issues between each other. Except it's something seen half seriously (unfortunately) among Europeans, while Israelis the threat is seen as far more real and serious, current events being a point in case.
This is the shit that pisses them off, and understandably so.
We shit on Germany (and expectedly enough, often other governments that show up in the above link) for supporting the migrant ferry boat NGOs for similar reason.
 
War Mapper with an easy to read maps of the situation.



Here's a map of the locations attacked. Sderot is the town of thirty thousand located only a mile away from Gaza which has lots of bomb shelters. It is from this town where a lot of the often graphic and disturbing footage and media came from of Palestinian militants going through the town killing Jews and Infidels and abducting others. Also where the fighting around the Sderot Police Station took place.

Also Kibbutz Be'eri was another location that experienced heavy infiltration by Palestinian militants engaging in murder and hostage taking.

Re'im Army Base is a main location for Israel's Gaza Division and was contested if not taken over yesterday by Palestinian militants. It has since been secured by IDF forces reportedly.

The peace music festival where over two hundred and fifty civilians were massacred by Palestinian militants with many others taken hostage was located in the general area as Re'im. Many foreign nationals are reportedly among the dead including Europeans and Americans.



Here is a map of where Israel is evacuating civilians from the combat zone.



Israel has also informed Gazans to evacuate from border areas in Gaza but Hamas/Gazan authorities have told Gazan civilians to remain in place and not spread panic.



An estimated 600 Israelis have been killed in this Offensive so far, the vast majority of them are civilians. Included in that number are over forty IDF soldiers, over thirty policemen and a handful of other first responders like firefighters and paramedics (including an ambulance targeted by a Hamas drone dropped munition).

 


Looks like Hezbollah in Lebanon is going to be taking some hits in the next few days, and my guess is the IDF is going to be clearing a strip along the border with extreme prejudice.
 
We're hearing reports of up to 700 dead Israelis now, again mostly civilians, and the Palestinian militants were so indiscriminate that a lot of foreigners were killed. And not just the ones attending the music festival, but other third country nationals who were likely guest workers.



Nepal for example has revealed ten of their citizens have been killed in Hamas attacks with two more seriously injured.


There are videos on social media also showing what is reportedly Palestinian militants beating a Filipino Guest Worker to death with a backhoe/rack until he is decapitated (blurred video link).

Some of the accounts I'm following for coverage of this conflict are the Fox News reporter Trey Yingst. You won't get OSINT stuff from a mainstream combat journalist but it provides an on the ground POV of things going on from the Israeli side of the frontlines.



I mentioned Evergreen Intel earlier but another good OSINT account is Aurora Intel as a collator of stuff picked up from social media and other open sources of media and information.



And Aleph for a more newsfeedy approach. Just a lotta short tweets and one liners of things reportedly happening.



Faytuks News operating out of Norway but work with other OSINT nerds in Europe.

 
Aaand, shit is getting real:






That was happening yesterday as well.


Drones during into Southern Lebanon reportedly as well.

 
Israeli authorities issuing more warnings to Gaza residents informing them of areas where they are advised to leave and where they can go.

 


Americans confirmed among the hostages.

Edit: That shithead Erdogan has come out on the side of Hamas.

Wonder how much Turkish involvement with Hamas there was in regards to this attack.

Edit 2: There is some contention that the Erdogan video is fake, so I will take it down for now.

Some details on the Music Festival Massacre where over 250 people from a half dozen or more different countries were massacred.

Drone Footage of the Massacre at the Music Festival.



The paragliders used by the militants was apparently caught on video



The Police Were On Scene but completely overmatched by the heavily armed militants as they attempted to evacuate the festival and not realizing the scale of the violence that was targeting them. The militants chased the festival goers into neighboring fields and deserts, hunting down those that were hiding to kill them.


According to eyewitnesses, many vans showed up with militants, heavily armed and a great many teenagers who all participated not just in the murdering and abduction of the Jews, but also raping, torturing and mutilating the victims, often amongst and in the presence of their freshly murdered friends and companions.



 
There's an (Oryx style) blog tracking documented heavy equipment losses in the fighting so far called Armada Rotta.


It's being operated by a gaggle of established OSINT accounts.



Hasn't been updated in about a day or so but they seem to be actively working on it.
 


Hamas says they will attack US bases/embassies in the region if Biden intervenes/aids Israel.

Edit: DC is looking at some people in the DoD and State Dept for having aided Tehran or taken orders from them.


Edit 2: Hamas openly saying they will kill hostages in retaliation for airstrikes.



I think Israel is unlikely to get any hostages back alive that aren't rescued by SF teams, and even then Hamas is likley going to kill most hostages rather than let them go, as Israel has said there will be no more talking with Hamas.

Backup Link on the much shared and publicized Wall Street Journal article stating that Senior Hamas and Hezbollah officials have stated Iran helped them plan this operation back in August and gave their go ahead for the operation to be executed only days ago during a meeting in Beirut.




Wall Street Journal said:
Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas's Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.
Officers of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel's borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said.
Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said.

The US publicly stated they had no evidence of that level of collaboration going on at the time. Hamas also publicly stated that it planned the whole operation themselves only acknowledging that Iran has been "supporting" them.
 

9 US citizens have been confirmed killed in the attacks.



If Hezbollah joins the war, Damascus is getting levelled and Assad is next, and the US warships will help.
 
Interview with one of the Music Festival Massacre Survivors (currently being treated in an Israeli hospital) who took cover in a nearby shelter with thirty other people when the militants found them.



Hostages already reportedly being executed and streamed on the internet.

An American Mother and Daughter who were visiting relatives are among those believed abducted by the Hamas militants.


Fox News Report by Trey Yingst. He interviews an Israeli official who describes the aftermath of the scene where Hamas militants attacked civilians along a roadside and walks through the numerous abandoned and blood stained cars littering the sides of the highway in Southern Israel. Also some coverage on the bombing campaign, the possible condition of the hostages, the lines of people at airports trying to depart the country amidst rocket attacks and other topics in brief.
