🔴 Hezbullah issued a statement announcing they attacked Branit military site with suitable weapons, causing material damage.

🔴 The Israeli army released footage of attacking a cell on the Lebanese border for launching mortars into Israeli military bases.

📝 It's quite important to note how Hezbullah adapted well after the first two weeks on how to keep the same momentum of attacking Israeli bases and at the same time evade successfully Israeli UAV attacks, artillery, and airstrikes.

The trend of casualties and attacks showcases this well, and this is what makes Hezbullah what it is.

🔴 Hamas issued a statement announcing they are engaging Israeli infantry and vehicles in West Gaza.

📝 Regarding this map, the Israeli army withdrew from the small route seen in the middle of Gaza since the morning.

That area is where the Merkava tank was spotted attacking a civilian car carrying a family.

As for the upper sector, the Israeli army is stationed there, and it's an uninhabited beach area with resorts. It was undefended.

On the other hand, a civilian car was targeted in Khan Younis. Deaths are reported.

Heard in the background, the buzzing of Israeli UAVs.

📰 Violent clashes continue near the border west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

📰 IDF acknowledges 3 new dead soldiers, the latest being 5 days ago.

They were identified as:

- Lt. Col. Meidan Israel, 35, head of supply in the Southern Command, from Yarhiv. He was killed on Oct ⁠25.

- Maj. Yair Zloof, 32, commander of the 401st Armored Brigade's surgical company, from Tel Mond. He was killed on Oct ⁠10.

- Lt. (res.) Maor Refael Shalom, 47, who served in a non-IDF unit, from Arugot. He was killed on Oct ⁠7.

There is a backlog and more killed to be announced soon. There's currently 316 soldiers listed on their mini-website.

🔴 Initial reports that Israel was able to free a hostage from Gaza during a limited raid. Details to follow.

The female soldier is identified as: Pvt. Ori Megidish

📝 Israel's ability to find a hostage and free it, is a big success to their campaign but a very expected one.

Hiding successfully 240 hostages, including dead bodies, is a task too hard in such a small area.

Back when Hamas and Nasser Salah-Eddine kidnapped the Israeli soldier Shalit, they invested a lot of time and effort to hide one soldier alive, so imagine hiding hundreds.

More of such news is expected with the days and weeks to come, if the Israeli ground attack advances deeper.

The bulk of hostages is with Hamas, while dozens are with PIJ. However some Israelis have been kept, notably dead, with smaller factions.

📰 Mossad chief visited Qatar on the weekend for talks on hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Sources briefed on the talks say there has been progress but no breakthrough yet.
