An Israeli airstrike on a mosque sheltering displaced civilians in the city of Deir Al-Balah in the central part of the Gaza Strip has reportedly killed 18 people.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced west of Makiivka and have expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets river.

They were able to exploit their control over the tactical heights to get behind the Ukrainian positions in the forests on the eastern face of the hill. This will allow them to group forces in Makiivka more easily without having to worry about Ukraine having fire control over the village.

This means that Makiivka can become a staging ground for future attacks both across the Zherebets river, and also to the north and south, eliminating the Ukrainian bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Zherebets river.

Israel has just ordered all civilians in Northern Gaza to evacuate to the central part of the strip.

It appears that another invasion of Gaza city is imminent.

They literally have nowhere to go. Rafah is destroyed and operations are still ongoing in the city, Khan Younis is being bombed daily with ground operations occurring every now and then, Deir al Balah is seeing massacres left and right, and now Gaza City is being evacuated? I mean the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone is still a thing, but it comes under fire quite often, it's very small and has limited infrastructure, and certainly nowhere near enough for 2 million Gazans.

The 162nd division of the IDF has reportedly been redeployed from Rafah to Jabalia

It appears that over the past couple of hours, the ground operation into Gaza City has begun. IDF tanks, likely from the 401st armoured brigade of the 162nd division broke through the buffer zone (green) and advanced into the residential area separating the Jabalia refugee camp and central Gaza city.

IDF sources claimed that they went further and have cut off Jabalia from the rest of the Gaza strip and are now attacking from the northeast in the direction of Beit Lahiya. This currently remains unconfirmed however.

More to come.

My map on the situation in the middle east: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=117K6_EiFdWYEK7LQKHjRSsjsHK7xVN8&hl=en&ll=31.53102758213808%2C34.50711395750907&z=14

More than 70 airstrikes have reportedly been carried out on Gaza city and it's surroundings in the past 18 hours. There are unconfirmed reports of 60 deaths.

The artillery shelling and gunfire is non-stop. This is a very major raid.

Reports from reliable sources indicate that Russian forces have advanced in Tsukuryne and have captured most of the town.

The Russians were able to close the small salient in the east of the settlement, before advancing over the railway tracks and capturing all of the residential area, except for a couple of streets in the southwest.

Battles are now ongoing for the poultry farm on the western outskirts.

There are now preliminary reports suggesting that Russian forces have cleared the remaining residential buildings in eastern Tsukuryne.

I expect that they will cross the open ground to the railway line in the near future to begin their assault on Kreminna Balka.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have begun their assault on Antonivka (Kurakhove direction). They used 5 AFVs and tanks, and advanced towards the outskirts. At least 3 of the vehicles were disabled/destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drones, indicating that this attack may have failed.

However, this attack indicates that the trees circled in the yellow are now in the grey zone, with Ukrainian forces withdrawing to Antonivka.

It is likely that the Russians will try again in the future as the fact that they attacked shows that they are ready for renewed assaults in this direction.

The Russians are still heavily bombarding Vovchansk with FAB-1500 bombs. The AFU is surely taking heavy casualties there. There is basically nowhere to hide at this point as everything in the town has been levelled. It's turning into another Marinka, except Marinka didn't have FABs.

Clashes are being reported in an unspecified part of the Northern Gaza strip, likely in Jabalia.

Today marks one year since the start of the war and genocide in Gaza.

According to Gaza’s ministry of health:

41,870 people have been killed

97,116 people have been wounded

Over 10,000 people are still under the rubble

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have advanced in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and have crossed the dried-up inlet, establishing a bridgehead on the northern bank.

Following reports by Ukrainian military sources stating that they anticipated a new Russian offensive in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian infantry began limited assault operations in the contested town of Kamyanske.

They were able to capture a section of the dachas, however this is a precarious bridgehead and will be difficult to supply as the Russians will need to cross 800m of open land to supply where they will be extremely susceptible to Ukrainian artillery and FPV drones.

Additionally, it will be very difficult to bring heavy vehicles over as the ground is soggy and muddy. It all depends on how many Ukrainian drones are in this area.

Air raid alerts near the Gaza strip, the exact minute that marks one year since the original October 7th attacks.

Reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces have continued to advance north of Selydove and are now approaching the key crossroads between the E50 and M30 highways, which resupply the city.

Following a failed armoured assault from the terykons, Russian forces regrouped and conducted another attack in the direction of the ventilation shaft, likely capturing it. Ukrainian positions in the treeline to the west were also likely seized by Russian forces attacking in a pincer movement from the E50 highway in the south and the ventilation shaft in the north

If true, this advance also indicates that the treeline to the northeast of the gas station was captured.
