Israeli media: Many residents of the north left without explicit instructions, and those still near the border are concerned about Hezbollah's tunnels

Al-Quds Brigades: We destroyed an Israeli vehicle and wounded a number of enemy soldiers while targeting an armored force in the western Gaza axis.

Al-Qassam Brigades: We destroyed two Israeli tanks southwest of Gaza City with “Al-Yassin 105” shells.

Al-Mayadeen correspondent in Gaza:

The resistance continues to confront the occupation forces on several fronts in the Strip.

The resistance confronts the occupation forces in the northwest of the Gaza Strip and Al-Qassam confirms the targeting of a number of tanks in the Tawam Roundabout.

The resistance confronts the occupation on the Tal al-Hawa axis, fires control of Abra Street with striking force, and is lurking for the enemy.

Al-Mayadeen correspondent in Gaza: The resistance also confronts the occupation on the axis of southeastern Gaza and prevents the enemy from advancing

The situation in the Gaza Strip by November 8.

The city is cut off. Hamas has no particular chance of restoring communication with Gaza on the surface. Underground communication is most likely maintained through tunnels.

Judging by the emphasis on the fighting on the coast, the IDF will likely try to advance along the coast (taking advantage of the fact that Hamas is unlikely to have its strongest fortifications there) in order to physically surround the city, cutting it off from the sea (including so that Hamas could not send naval saboteurs from Gaza along the coast).

Hamas, in turn, will rely on drawing the IDF into exhausting urban battles, where it can expect to inflict significant losses on the enemy in men and equipment. Hamas's task at the current stage is to delay resistance as much as possible, since time is against Israel.

32nd day of war, Gaza ground status:



Very slow advances overall with some retreats in the northern area.

• In the north, IOF started an intense advancement towards Al-Shati, but got ambushed & trapped by the resistance receiving heavy blows.

• Ongoing clashes west of Beit Lahia, no advancements

• South of Gaza City, ongoing clashes in the Tal al-Hawa area. The IOF claims to have secured the coastline, but it’s merely a confrontation zone, not secured.

• No advancements in Beit Hanoun

IDF May Remain in Gaza for Substantial Period: Ex-Israeli Official

"The IDF will have to be in the Gaza Strip for at least one year to accomplish the mission and then it will go out of there," senior research fellow at Israel's premier defense think tank, Kobi Michael said.

Long War Awaits IDF in Gaza

He also commented that Hamas had a lot of capabilities inside the underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip, including operational command centers, weapons storage facilities, control rooms, and so on.

"This is the first time in 15 years that the government of Israel declared a state of war and it has a meaning," Michael noted.

No way Ukraine can possibly win a war against Russia, Glenn Greenwald told Tucker Carlson in a recent interview.

He also noted that NATO's assistance to Ukraine will not only fail to help it win, but will also lead to more casualties.

Yedioth Ahronoth:

The Israeli army decides to create a new armored reserve battalion that includes “Merkava 3” tanks of the old models that were planned to be eliminated, due to the shortage of armor as a result of the field pressure on the army as a result of the multiple fighting fronts.

Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
With the help of God Almighty, our air defenses were able to shoot down an American MQ9 aircraft while it was carrying out hostile, monitoring and spying activities in the airspace of Yemeni territorial waters and within the framework of American military support for the Israeli occupation entity.

It was shot down, with God's help, with the appropriate weapons.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their legitimate right to defend the country and confront all hostile threats.

Hostile movements will not deter the Yemeni armed forces from continuing to carry out military operations against the Israeli occupation entity in support of the oppression of the Palestinian people.

And victory comes only from Allah

Several attacks are seen against the earthen wall defenses that Israel is building inside Gaza.

Former US official: “Israel” must learn from the Lebanon war

"Israel" will not achieve its objectives in Gaza, just as it did not achieve them in the July 2006 war against Hizbullah, said former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East Policy Andrew Exum.

An American journalist Max Blumenthal tried to clarify with a State Department representative why US authorities accuse Russia of genocide, while at the same time the Israeli army has killed more civilians in a month than those who died in Ukraine in two years. Unfortunately, the representative responded that it was inappropriate to make such a comparison.

Fox News citing sources:

“It is likely that AnsarAllah Yemen used a SA-6 SAM missile to shoot down the American MQ-9 drone, which is valued at $32 million.”

It probably means they used the Yemeni “Fater-1” SAM, which is based on the Soviet SA-6 SAM

I have geolocated the first scene of Al-Qassam's video showing the gathering of IOF tanks, right outside the Al-Shati Camp, ultimately also at the beginning of urban structures.

IOF forces have been stuck behind the gates of Al-Shati for more than 4 days now, with no advancements. They keep advancing inside but are forced to retreat due to ambushes.

Moscow was shocked by the Israeli ambassador's statement that it could take up to two weeks to agree on a list of Russians to evacuate from Gaza, Zakharova said.

The evacuation lists for Russians are ready and have been handed over to everyone involved in these issues in the region, the Foreign Ministry representative noted.

33rd day of war, Gaza ground status:





Heavy clashes in all axes but advancements have stopped & the field map has not changed.

• In the north, clashes persist north of Beit Hanoun, northwest of Beit Lahia & at the entrance of al-Shati, all IOF attacks have been repelled.

• In the southern axis, clashes persist in south of al-Zaitoun & south of Tal al-Hawa. The conflict contact line remained unchanged since yesterday.
