Update on the conflict in Ukraine and Israel-Gaza for October 19, 2023: - Ukraine uses ATACMS missiles to hit Russian airfields, causing damage to several aircraft; - The missiles exist in too small of quantities versus Russia’s more capable and numerous Iskander missile ballistic and cruise missiles; - Ukraine will continue to use “wonder weapons” to distract from the overall degradation of its military capabilities; - Israel is almost certainly behind a recent hospital strike in Gaza; - Israel demanded these hospitals be evacuated, a virtual death sentence to those being treated there according to the UN; - Israel already declared a Gaza-wide bombing campaign focused on “damage” over “precision;” - The strike involved a weapon with destructive power only Israel possess, possibly a guided rocket fired from an Israeli M270 which are admittedly being used to target Gaza (see references below); - Israel appears to be laying down preparatory fire for a ground incursion which will be a very costly operation in terms of time, manpower, equipment, and ammunition; - based on other military operations like this in both Gaza in 2014, Fallujah in 2004, and recent fighting in Ukraine, Israel and its US-backers will have stockpiles and military industrial output stretched to the absolute limits leaving little room for error or additional contingencies; References: The Drive - Destruction From Ukraine’s First ATACMS Strike Now Apparent (October 18, 2023): NYT - Ukraine Uses Powerful American-Supplied Missiles for First Time (October 17, 2023): World Health Organization - Evacuation orders by Israel to hospitals in northern Gaza are a death sentence for the sick and injured (October 14, 2023): Guardian - ‘Emphasis is on damage, not accuracy’: ground offensive into Gaza seems imminent (October 10, 2023): Jerusalem Post - Hananya Naftali: Going Underground on Twitter - Screenshot of Hananya Naftali’s deleted tweet (October 18, 2023): Hananya Naftali on Twitter - Retraction of claims Israel carried out hospital strike (October 18, 2023): Haaretz - Israel Halts Medical Treatment for Members of Syria's Nusra Front (2015): NBC News - Another Gaza Hospital Hit by Israeli Strike; Four Dead, 40 Hurt (2014): Times of Israel - IDF: Multiple rocket launcher used to target Hamas in Gaza for first time since 2006 (October 11, 2023): Where to Find My Work: Website: Telegram: Twitter: Odysee (YouTube alternative): @LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): Weibo: ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): Line Group: Gab: VK (Facebook alternative): How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: Patreon: PromptPay: 0851547235 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR
