🇵🇸🇮🇱 Israel used white phosphorus in Lebanon, Gaza strikes, Human Rights Watch says
The NGO specified it "reviewed two videos from October 10 from two locations near the Israel-Lebanon border," and also analyzed a video taken in Gaza City’s port on October 11 and "identified that the munitions used in the strike were airburst 155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles," adding that "white smoke and a garlic smell are characteristics of white phosphorus."
Human Rights Watch also said it interviewed by phone two eyewitnesses from the al-Mina area in Gaza City who said they observed the strikes "consistent with the use of white phosphorus." The individuals described the explosions in the sky as being followed by "white lines going earthward," detailing the smell after the strikes was "stifling."

🇵🇸🇮🇱 How many soldiers are in Hamas?
Hamas' precise troop force is unspecified, but various estimations have put the numerical strength of its service members at around 30,000 militants, if non-core members are summoned in an emergency.
The al-Qassam Brigades are organized into six groups. Each group has many smaller groups, and each smaller group has even tinier parts. Three of these groups stay in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. One is in the north of Gaza City, one is to the east of Gaza City, and one is in the south of Gaza City. There is one group in the middle of Gaza, and two are in the south, superintending Khan Yunis and Rafah. The Hamas combat forces are reportedly also dispersed in the West Bank and neighboring countries.
Saturday’s onslaught launched by Hamas begs the question: how many combat forces does the group have?

🐝🪖 Ukraine to employ bees for demining minefields, government says
💬 "To avoid contact with mines, drones will sow a mined agricultural field with a special mixture of honey-bearing grasses. After that, the nectar is collected by bees, which are also not afraid of mines," the press service for the Honey From Minefields project explained.
Ukrainian diplomats will take the collected honey to meetings and international visits and give it to their colleagues and public people all over the world, thus raising funds to solve the problem of mined areas.
