Although Apple and Google, which host Telegram in their app stores, have now begun asking the company to ban Hamas’ main channels, Telegram has otherwise declined to block channels disseminating extreme content. In a post on his public channel on October 13, Durov alluded to the difficulty of policing speech in a conflict, and cited a Hamas warning before a strike on the Israeli city of Ashkelon as a reason not to act: “Would shutting down their channel help save lives—or would it endanger more lives?”

We had our candy dish outside for much of the night. We brought it in before bed still half full, because we still live in a high trust neighborhood.

— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇾🇪 25th day of the war, October 31st, status update and major events:

– Heavy airstrikes in the Gaza strip. The IAF bombed a large gathering of civilians in Al-Jabaliya Camp, resulting in possibly hundreds of deaths. Most hospitals have almost run out of power.

– Throughout the day, Hamas carried out at least 5 different rocket barrages into Israel, including on Tel Aviv. Settlements close to Gaza such as Ashkelon and Sderot have been registering more direct impacts, due to a shortage of Tamer missiles for the Iron Dome, which forces Israel to focus its limited defenses on major population centers, because there is simply not enough stockpile to defend all of Israel at this point.

– Ground situation in Gaza: Israeli forces control the beach area of As-Siafa in the north-west of the strip, as well as most of the farmland on the outskirts of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun in the north and north-east. Today, the IDF penentrated into the middle of Gaza by entering Wadi Gaza from the east with armored columns. They established control over Salah Al-Deen road, the main road connecting Gaza City to the rest of the Gaza strip. The IDF is trying to push west through the middle of Wadi Gaza, to capture Al-Rashid street, the last route that still connects the north of Gaza to the south.

– According to the availabke information, the IDF has suffered a considerable amount of casualties in Gaza so far. Hamas claims that the Al-Qassam brigades have destroyed 22 IDF vehicles until now, and some sources estimate that a few dozen Israeli soldiers have been killed, although no official figures are available besides what the IDF releases. Most of the casualties occured while penentrating Gaza from the middle of Wadi Gaza, to capture the Salah Al-Deen road.

– The Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun outskirts have not offered much resistance, because the area is mostly farmland and not suitable for fighting a superior enemy, as opposed to in an urban environment.

– Yemen's Ansarullah (Houthis) carried out four attacks on southern Israel with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones. Most of these were intercepted above Eilat, and at least one missile fell in Jordan. The military spokesman of Ansarullah vowed to increase attacks against Israel as long as the agression on Gaza continues.

– Hezbollah targeted the IDF in the settlements of Al-Jardah, Branit Barracks, Al-Marj, and Al-Khazzan Hill with ATGMs, leading to several confirmed casualties and the destruction of a Merkava tank with its crew inside.

– The IDF shelled South Lebanon and carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah targets.

🇨🇳👉🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ Updates from China: Chinese military expert Hong Yuan comments on another incident at the South China sea involving American and Chinese military aircraft, citing RT 🈯️

Chinese J-11B fighter jets intercepted a US B-52H strategic bomber over the South China Sea during a nighttime operation. Footage released by the Pentagon and cited by Russia Today shows Chinese pilots skillfully maneuvering in total darkness, with their speed brakes deployed, conducting a close intercept with just 3 meters of separation between the aircraft.
The display of fearlessness and heroism is reminiscent of the spirit shown by Chinese pilots during the Korean War. The video reveals the audacious tactics employed by the Chinese pilot, highlighting their exceptional flying skills. Despite US accusations of unsafe and unprofessional behaviour, it's crucial to note that this incident occurred in China's territorial waters. China's response was a necessary defense measure, showcasing the nation's determination and superior flying abilities. As global tensions rise, China's tolerance for US military presence in the South China Sea diminishes, potentially leading to further escalations.

The incident also reflects China's decreasing tolerance for the US military's actions near its borders, as it remains steadfast in defending its national security.

Article Steve Bannon referred to on U.S. quietly expanding secret military base in Israel…

TWO MONTHS BEFORE Hamas attacked Israel, the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israel’s Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Code-named “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel.

📑 Update on the ground situation in Gaza

The Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza announced that Israeli forces are trying to reach Al-Rashid Street (west) from Salah al-Din Street (east) on the outskirts of Gaza City.

And as of now, the Israeli army advanced westwards from the Samouni area and has reached the vicinity of Al Nour Resort and Tika Hospital in Netzarim area.

The IDF is moving along Wadi Gaza towards the coast in an attempt to cut off north Gaza and surround Gaza City, while other units advance from the north near Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia towns.
