High-quality satellite imagery of Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast:
As of December 14th (date of imagery), the following were at the airfield:
— 2x Su-35.
— 4 Tu-95ms.
— 3 Tu-160s.
— 1x Su-24MR.
— 1x Il-76MD.
— 1x An-12.
— 3 Su-25s.
— 1x Ka-52.
A training exercise was carried out with one Tu-160 last night, so it’s possible that there are actually 4 Tu-160s at the airbase - that being if the Tu-160 was airborne when the imagery was taken.
The Il-76MD and An-12 military transport aircraft stationed at the airbase presumably had cargo consisting of Kh-101 cruise missiles and spare parts.
The channel that published this imagery noted that we can assume that some of the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft here are equipped with missiles and ready for use.
Every day, active training is carried out from this airbase with Tu-95ms and Tu-160 aircraft, practicing launches of Kh-101 cruise missiles and under the protection of Su-35 aircraft.
Additionally, two of the Tu-95ms aircraft are either under maintenance or are being equipped with Kh-101 missiles.

Over the past 1-2 weeks, Hamas has significantly increased their rocket attacks on Israel. Previously they were conducting around 1 attack on Israel every 3-4 weeks, however now that has increased to at least 1 attack daily, including at one point where there were 4 in a day.
Additionally, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been increasing their ambushes, mortar attacks and rocket attacks on Israeli troops inside Gaza, notably in Jabalia and even Rafah (where Hamas has been almost completely eliminated).
This suggests that Hamas has been stockpiling weapons, probably in their remaining tunnel networks, despite their battalions being so heavily degraded.
Expect increased Israeli airstrikes on Gaza in the coming days/weeks, including on the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone. We have already seen 4 sets of evacuation orders be issued for civilians in different areas of northern and Central Gaza over the past 3 weeks, including areas in the humanitarian zone.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has today ordered the closure of Israel's embassy in Ireland due to "Anti-Israel policy".
This comes as Ireland announced it would join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which accuses Israel of genocide.
Sa'ar stated that "Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are rooted in delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and reflect clear double standards."
He also said that "Ireland has crossed all red lines in its treatment of Israel. We will redirect our resources toward advancing bilateral relations with countries based on priorities that reflect how different nations relate to Israel."
At the same time, the opening of an Israeli embassy in Moldova was scheduled for early 2025 following the warming of ties between the two countries. Moldova already maintains an embassy in Tel Aviv.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has signed a decree banning Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze and 13 other Georgian officials from entering Estonia.
He stated that "the violence committed by the Georgian authorities against protesters, journalists and opposition leaders is unacceptable, criminal and contrary to human rights."
Estonia and Lithuania have also placed sanctions on these same officials.
This comes as the Georgian Dream Party won the parliamentary and - more recently - the presidential election.
