Situation in Northern Gaza - Beit Hanoun axis:

The IDF has launched a new operation in northern Gaza, following their operation in the town of Atatra. Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles crossed the border at the Erez Border crossing, and advanced down two roads leading to the city.

While it is unlikely that Israeli forces have secured areas of the actual part of Beit Hanoun, it is known that they control the approaches and outskirts of the city. Armoured vehicles and tanks conducted fire raids into its two sections.

In the Izbat district (also known as the "officers" district where Hamas previously held a massive, fortified stronghold), Israeli vehicles drove down the road to the east, firing on the ruins of residential buildings.

In the main part of the city, Israeli forces likely broke into the city centre, fired on buildings and raided areas, before returning north to their positions on the outskirts.

+ ~4.70km² in favour of Israel.

A large Russian Geran-2 drone attack targeted the city of Kropyvnytskyi in Kirovohrad Oblast.

Lot's of explosions were reported during the night, with air defence active against the drones.

Very little information has surfaced regarding the attacks, but one photo has been published showing a fire in the city, although it is unclear if this was started by an actual successful drone strike, or if it was from downed debris.

My engagement and views on Twitter have suddenly dropped by around half. Apparently, people on 4chan are mass reporting my account for "using certain military terms".

Are you guys noticing anything too?

The Ukrainian GUR published footage showing HIMARS GMLRS strikes on 2 Russian KA-52 helicopters, and 2 Mi-8 helicopters.

Pokrovsk direction - Uspenivka:

Extremely heavy fighting continues for this village. It seems this is one of the few remaining places in the Pokrovsk direction which Russia is actively trying to seize.

Over the past couple of weeks, Russian forces from the 506th regiment, under the cover of extremely dense artillery fire and FPV drone strikes, have slowly been dislodging Ukrainian soldiers from their positions in the houses. Fighting is literally taking place for each individual house. Ukraine is responding in kind with their own artillery and FPV drone strikes.

Russian forces were once again able occupy most of the village. The northern and southern ends of the western street are in the grey zone, with Ukrainian soldiers holding out in 5 houses in the centre of the street. They are attempting to counterattack, although it is unknown if they have achieved any success.

The fighting for this village has now lasted for 71 days.

A Palestinian militant opened fire on Israeli civilians at the Tishbi junction near the town of Yokneam, northern Israel, around 20 minutes ago.

Preliminarily, 1 man in his 70's was pronounced dead at the scene, and a man in his 20's was injured.

The Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli Coastal Border Guard soldiers.

Israeli tanks are advancing towards the Al-Mawasi humanitarian area in southern Gaza. They are firing on buildings. Palestinian sources report that several people were injured, while Israeli sources report that multiple militants have been captured.

Threat of Oreshnik IRBMs from Asktrakhan Oblast.

Most likely a training exercise, but I will monitor the situation.

Some are saying that this is a usual ballistic threat from Voronezh Oblast - the air raid alert map reflects this. This could just be Ukrainian monitoring channels being blind again.

There will be no launches of IRBMs.

Sirens are sounding in Netiv Ha'asara, north of Gaza

An explosion was reported above Netiv Ha'asara.

At least 1 rocket launch from Gaza

Israeli channels report a false alarm

IDF Spokesperson:

Following the alert that was activated at 11:55 on the Enrichment Road, this is a false identification.

Palestinian sources reported that 3 people were killed, including a child in Israeli artillery shelling that targeted a tent sheltering displaced people inside a school in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in central Gaza.
