Hamas’s Qassam says it has ‘foiled ground incursion’ in northern Gaza (Al-Jazeera)

Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, say they have “foiled an Israeli ground incursion into Beit Hanoun and the east of Bureij,” adding that “violent clashes” are now taking place.

A senior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, has said that Israel was attempting “to create an image of victory”.

“Cutting off communications from the Gaza Strip is an attempt to cover up the crimes of the [Israeli] occupation without any oversight or accountability,” Hamdan added

Been reading William Gibson's The peripheral, and came across this topical scene:

"Indeed," said Lowbeer. "The use of explosives is unusual, and we prefer to keep it so. Too much like asymmetric warfare."

"Terrorism," said the rental.

"We prefer not to use that term," said Lowbeer, studying her candle flame with something that looked to Netherton to be regret, "if only because terror should remain the sole prerogative of the state."

Does anyone have a breakdown of military and civilian deaths from the Al-Aqsa Flood? I've been trying and every single article obfuscates the military impact of the operation and basically insinuates that it was a massacre of civilians.

Saw someone actually defend Operation Paperclip by saying the US had to get the Nazi scientists before Russia could use them.

Weird explosion video from Gaza today.

Not like anything I've seen before. Secondary explosions, not bombs, very strange. Israelis might have hit a stockpile or something successfully with this one.

omg I glanced at the TV on the news:

• report begins on the ground operation of Israel with a headline of an Israeli soldier having been KIA
• apparently the bullshit bioweapon story or whatever has also spread to my country's news of course, why wouldn't it

Palestine Red Crescent Society: Since the morning hours, the vicinity of the Al-Quds Hospital has witnessed continuous raids that led to its complete destruction.

They have received strong threats to evacuate, and that it will be bombed.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Fighting is currently taking place in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Significant IDF forces operate in the region.

According to the New York Times, satellite images show that the IRGC missile forces opened long-range missile silos at noon today.

feels like we're at or nearing an inflection point wrt this whole imperial con game, with ukraine and europe basically tapped out and israel coming into play. wondering how much centcom getting btfo'd would help the dedollarization process but honestly more curious as to how they plan on cannibalizing japan and sk and what their plans are afterwards.

like, the BRI loans are all in dollars, but they're owed to china; not as if the US can just push a button nd suddenly own all the infra, but i cant imagine china just writing off all the loans or having everyone buy rmb when the US decides its time for more interest rate shenanigans. real head scratcher this

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

—

Britain displaced our people and insists on annihilating them.

The statements and positions of the British government are nothing but an extension of its original crime that caused the Nakba of our people and led to the displacement of millions of Palestinians, insisting on completing the annihilation of our people, displacing those who remain and erasing them from existence.

The statements and positions of the British government are filled with colonial resentment and hatred towards our people, supporting, encouraging, and even pressuring for the annihilation of the Palestinians, through its persistence and insistence on opposing any positions calling for stopping the aggression and genocide.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine reminds the British government that our people and the Arab nation have not forgotten Britain's primary role in our displacement in 1948, granting our land to the zionist invaders, and manufacturing our historical tragedy. The current British stance should be held accountable, not just condemned and denounced. The Front calls on the masses of the Arab nation, freedom fighters of the world, and supporters of the Palestinian people to respond appropriately to such a brutal and aggressive stance.

The Front urges the Arab masses, forces supporting Palestinian rights, and all anti-colonial powers, to escalate their resistance against Britain, its interests, its embassies, and its military bases. This feeble specter cannot imagine that its way of regaining its reputation as an open colonial empire comes at the expense of the rights and blood of our people.

October 25, 2023.

This comes off as a call to violence against Britain.

Bloomberg:

The European Union is falling behind on plans to provide Ukraine with a million artillery shells by March, people familiar with the matter said, potentially giving Russian forces an advantage in the supply of ammunition.

Under plans made earlier this year, the EU pledged to provide the artillery ammunition rounds to Ukraine over a 12-month period, first by dipping into existing stocks and then through joint procurement contracts and increasing industrial capacity.

With more than half of that time now gone, the initiative has so far delivered about 30% of the target and, based on the volume of contracts signed to date, risks missing its goal, according to people and documents seen by Bloomberg News. Several member states have privately asked the bloc’s foreign policy arm to extend their deadline, the people added.

A spokesman for the Gaza health ministry said in a televised statement that Israeli strikes had killed nearly 400 Palestinians in the past several hours, raising its death toll in the Strip to over 7,700, including nearly 3,200 children.
