    Al-Qassam Brigades: You are late! Mission accomplished!

    Al-Qassam Brigades released a remix video of the discovery of resistance tunnels near the border of the Gaza Strip and the presence of Yoav Gallant and Israeli forces inside the tunnels and scenes from the first day of the battle.

    In fact, by broadcasting this video, the Palestinian resistance sends the message that the operations have been carried out both from inside the tunnels and from outside the tunnels, And now you are already late!

    Yesterday, after the video of the tunnels was broadcast, Israeli military sources claimed that Hamas did not use these tunnels in the October 7 attack and that this network of tunnels was probably built for other strategic operations.

    The tunnel that Israel unveiled yesterday was only a small part of the tunnel network in the Gaza Strip. This tunnel is completely isolated and its length hardly reaches 1500 meters in a straight line. Clearly, the Zionists have understood well by now how difficult it will be to actually capture the Gaza Strip...

    Latest military situation in the city of Khan Yunis

    Clashes continue in the city of Khan Yunis. During the last two days, the Israeli forces have slightly extended the areas under their occupation in this city. Based on the new satellite images as well as the videos published by the Israeli army, the Israeli forces have taken control of the Bani Suheila square. Also, limited advances have been made in the northern areas of the city.

    Israeli forces have now approached Abu Hamid square and the clashes continue around this square. Yesterday, there were reports of the escalation of clashes around Abu Hamid Square.

    In general, during the last few days, the progress of the Israeli regime forces in Khan Yunis has slowed down, and the Palestinian fighters are strongly resisting in the eastern and central areas of Khan Yunis.

    New statement by Yemen's Ansarullah military spokesman, Yahya Saree:

    'With the help of God Almighty, the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation against two ships linked to the Zionist entity. The first was the 'Swan Atlantic' ship, loaded with oil, and the other was the 'MSC Clara' ship, carrying containers. They were targeted by two naval planes.

    The process of targeting the two ships came after their crews refused to respond to calls from the Yemeni naval forces.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate their reassurance to all ships heading to all ports around the world, except those headed for Israeli ports, that no harm will befall them and that they must keep the communication channel open.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces also reiterate that they will not hesitate to target any ship that violates what was stated in its previous statements.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that they continue to prevent all ships heading to Israeli ports of any nationality from navigating the Arab and Red Seas until they bring in the food and medicine that our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip need.'

    US Def Sec Lloyd Austin announces ‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’ to respond to “reckless Houthi attacks” from Yemen in Red Sea.

    "Operation Prosperity Guardian", is a new international task force aim to target Yemen under the pretext of "protecting ships in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks".

    The group will include the UK, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain.

    Austin: "we call on Iran to de-escalate"

    ---

    I am sure all those cold-war era ships are well equipped for drones and ASBM's.
    and i know for an fact some of these nation's ships are undermanned, undertrained and have some dodgy fire suppression systems they did not have money for to maintain.

    Also Yemen is a country, it is not going anywhere, you are! Very Happy
    Have fun in their backyard!.

    That first video hitting the jeep at the rear of the column... by about 1 minute 20 it looked like a very juicy target with that big group of soldiers gathered at the rear of the hit vehicle... maybe they need to improve their tactics where the guy firing the missile is teamed with a gun with a machine gun in a totally different place so if any enemy troops bunch up the machine gunner can open up on any groups of enemy soldiers... or perhaps a weapon like an SPG-9 could be used to launch a direct fire HE round at them.

    I appreciate that this video was taken at distance and the ATGM launcher was probably already out of small arms fire range when it launched its attack.

    A mortar would deliver enough HE but would not be accurate enough unless it was a direct fire mortar like a Vasilek, or an SPG-9 recoilless rifle with HE rounds.

    The Russians have developed new longer ranged 82mm mortar bombs with a 6km range... does anyone know if they are compatible with Vasilek model mortars?

    A burst of a 4 round clip would be impressive... you could probably fire two clips before moving.... they fire pretty fast.

    A new video has been released showing a former Israeli detainee, who was freed during the recent exchange, talking about how the same Israeli army fired on the tractor that was taking them to Gaza, killing her mother and injuring her and her daughter.

    U.S. Defense Analyst: 'Iran is now the first and only nation in the entire world to have developed and sucessfully used an anti-ship ballistic missile in active combat'

    This is a reference to this week's incident, when the Israeli-linked 'Palatium-lll' ship was struck by an Iranian anti-ship ballistic missile in the Red Sea, fired by Ansarullah from Yemen.

    NEW: According to some military analysts, Hezbollah may have used advanced 🇮🇷 Iranian-made 'Basir' laser-guided HE artillery shells against the two Iron Dome batteries in Israel today

    This is unconfirmed, but if true, it highlights a sifnificant capability, not only that Hezbollah posesses such advanced guided artillery but also that it has the means to fire them, which suggests that Hezbollah owns large caliber 150mm artillery.

    🇾🇪🇮🇱 The Houthis said they fired at a tanker and container ship in the Red Sea that were en route to an Israeli port and vowed that such attacks would continue. The Houthis are not at all frightened by US threats. The extent of damage to the attacked ships is unknown.

    Earlier, British Petroleum, following several large shipping companies, stopped shipping to Israel through the Red Sea.
    This is what organizing a naval blockade looks like.

    A few drones and anti-ship missiles and the enemy suffers billions of dollars in losses.

    2023 Israel–Hamas war #3 - Page 18 44-Palestine-Gaza-Map-En-19dec23-1455x1536


    ▪During the last week, the Israeli army's advances has slowed down and stopped in many fronts.

    ▪In the north of the Gaza Strip, clashes continue in Shujaiyah neighborhood and Jabalia refugee camp and the remaining areas in Beit Hanun Hanoun, Sheikh Radwan and Al-Rimal.

    ▪In the south of the Gaza Strip, clashes continue in the city of Khan Yunis. Today, the Israeli regime spokesman announced that the Israeli army has deployed an additional brigade in the Khan Yunis front. Also, the Israeli Defense Minister spoke about the expansion of military operations in the south of the Gaza Strip. Therefore, it seems that in the coming days, we will witness a significant increase in fighting in the south of the Gaza Strip, especially in the city of Khan Yunis.
