A battalion of Israeli tanks destroyed by the resistance in Palestine

Reports: 'Israeli journalist' arrested for exposing "piled soldiers' bodies".


Ephraim Mordechai, an Israeli journalist, was reportedly arrested by authorities after he reported about Israeli army deaths in Gaza. According to allegations, the Israeli army is now keeping the bodies of their soldiers, which the Israeli journalist described as alarming numbers, inside a hospital in Tel Aviv and it is not handing them over to their parents and families.

Mordechai claimed that the Israeli military allegedly kept the bodies of the soldiers from their families, deepening the gravity of the situation as the war on Gaza is still ongoing a month after it started on Oct. 7. However, no official statement from the Israeli army has been made yet regarding the arrest of Israeli journalist Ephraim Mordechai.

It makes you wonder what else has gone wrong due to Netanyahu's genocidal blood lust.
 
Reports:
According to "Yedioth Ahronoth", the Israeli army has decided to create a new armored brigade from the reserves, which includes "Merkava 3" tanks from old models that were supposed to be disposed of, due to the shortage of armored vehicles as a result of the field pressure on the army.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced the destruction of more than 15 Israeli tanks and other vehicles throughout the day (Tuesday) and also broadcast scenes of fierce clashes with the occupation forces penetrating northwest of Beit Lahia.

Simultaneously, the Palestinian resistance confronted Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) attempting to advance into Gaza City. This resistance has effectively thwarted the invasion attempts, particularly in the Beach camp north of Gaza City.

The military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaida, said that Al-Qassam was about to release 12 detainees in Gaza who hold foreign nationalities, but the occupation obstructed that. He added: “We still confirm that we are ready to release them, but the field situation and the Zionist aggression that threatens their lives, are the ones who are preventing this from being done.”
 
The Resistance: 136 Israeli military vehicles destroyed

"Our fighters continue to confront the Israeli aggression, on all fronts.
We have documented that, since the start of the ground aggression, 136 (Israeli) military vehicles have been completely or partially destroyed and put out of service."

Regrettably, IDF has an endless supply of US funded weaponry thanks to the Zionist lobbies that make US Middle East Policy.

America's criminal complicity with Israel's genocidal agenda is not in America's best interest and will come back to haunt us.
 
Hamas is on the ropes ( IDF is deep inside Gaza City and less than 1/4 mile from the central city Hospital Stronghold )
 
Satellites: About 90 military vehicles "disappeared" in Gaza (in 5 days)

The high-quality satellite images (during the period between November 1-10) showed the exact number of Israeli occupation army vehicles in the Strip, their stationing locations, and advancing lines.


Images could not be published due to the standards imposed by companies providing satellite images of the Israeli war on Gaza.
However, important information was extracted:


On November 8, the total number of military vehicles amounted to 295, recording a decrease of 88 vehicles compared to November 3, when the number of military vehicles reached 383. It is worth noting that Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades – the armed wing of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas, announced the complete destruction or partial damage of 136 military vehicles in the Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun axes.


The last access point for the Israeli occupation was registered in the Beit Lahia axis, northwest of the Gaza Strip, on November 8.

The images showed that the Israeli army’s armored vehicles were located in 7 schools, namely Ibn Sina, Khaled Al-Alami basic schools for boys, Sami Al-Alami, Al-Awda, Sarafand, Al-Zahawi, and Ashdod.
The Israeli army positioned an average of 10 to 15 vehicles in each school. On November 6, the images showed the presence of 6 reconnaissance aircraft of the ‘Heron’ type and another of unknown type. The occupation army deliberately gathered vehicles next to each other in an area surrounded by sand berms for cover.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israel has, thus far, killed over 11,180 Palestinians, including 4,609 children.

Does Hamas need false victories to encourage others, while they flee,

if not already drinking Vodka in Qatar?
 
Hamas soldier said:

“The reality was so different from my expectations, the ISRAELIS didn’t even deserve the strenuous training I had to endure!”

 
Al-Qassam Brigades targeting Israeli forces penetrating Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip:

 
The resistance destroy 62 Israeli military vehicles in 4 days:

In his latest statement, Abu Obaida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, summarized Israel’s military losses in recent days.

“During the last four days, our mujahideen managed to destroy 62 (Israeli military) vehicles.

“Yesterday, our mujahideen managed to destroy an apartment in which special (Israeli) forces were holed up in Beit Hanoun.

“Our mujahideen were able to finish off (kill) all the occupation soldiers who were stationed inside a building in Beit Hanoun.

“We killed nine Israeli soldiers, destroyed two military vehicles, destroyed an apartment in which enemy soldiers were holed up, and killed those who were in it.

“Our mujahideen are in the field pursuing the enemy forces and vehicles from street to street.

“We prepared ourselves for a long defense (of Gaza), and every hour the occupation spends in Gaza (it) exacerbates its losses.

“We forced the occupation (army) to retreat on many fronts.

“We say to the enemy public (the Israelis) that news of your dead soldiers in the field will reach you sooner or later.”

 

‘We Lost the North’ – The Math of Israel’s Military Defeat in Gaza

1700393661409.png


“The war cabinet has lost the north.” That was a short tweet on Saturday by former Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Lieberman’s words do not require much explanation, simply because Israel is currently facing one of its greatest military defeats in all of its previous wars against Palestinians, in fact, Arab armies.

Despite the tough demeanor, strong language and black attires donned by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz, the war for Israel is not going very well.

The previous announcement was on November 12, when Abu Obeida declared the destruction of more than 160 military vehicles (including tanks, military bulldozers, armored personal carriers etc).

Understandably, the Resistance cannot keep track of all Israeli soldiers killed or wounded, but is able to estimate, based on documented footage of what it considers “direct hits”.

Israel, Playing with Numbers


On Saturday, Israel admitted to the killing of six more officers and soldiers, in addition to the serious wounding of eight others.


True to form, Israel always finds ways to hide its military losses, while exaggerating the losses of its civilians.

A perfect example of this were the events of October 7, when Israel claimed that over 1,400 civilians were killed, only to slowly change the ratio between its military and civilian losses.

Then, later, it created yet more categories, differentiating between military, border police, intelligence officers, and armed settlement guards.

Furthermore, it eventually downgraded the overall number of casualties on that day by 200, claiming that they were the charred remains of Palestinian fighters.

That raised yet more questions about how many of Israel’s own civilian casualties were killed in Israeli bombardment, particularly by Apache helicopters, which did not distinguish between Qassam fighters and Israel’s own civilians and settlers.

Ground Operation Gone Awry


It was obvious that the Israeli ground war is going badly in northern Gaza, for these reasons:
  • Documented evidence by the Resistance of countless Israeli tanks being blown up or damaged in direct hits, especially using Yassin 105 anti-artillery missiles, along with other improvised RPGs.
  • The Israeli military’s inability to establish permanent and defensible military bases inside Gaza.
  • The total lack of credibility of official Israeli reports about the progress of the battles, and its inability to document any significant achievement.
  • The pathetic display at Al-Shifa and other hospitals, where Israeli military spokesmen tried to convince world audiences that baby diapers and a laptop were proof that Hamas is using hospitals for military purposes.
  • The declaration by the Israeli military that Israel will be taking its ground operations to the south of Gaza – even though no real progress has been achieved in the north.

Doing the Math


Back to Abu Obeida’s numbers ..

According to satellite images analyzed by Al-Jazeera, 383 military vehicles entered Gaza at the start of the ground operation on October 27.

According to the Al-Jazeera analysis unit, 88 of these military vehicles had ‘disappeared’ between November 1 to 10.

On November 8, Abu Obeida had announced that 136 military vehicles had been destroyed fully or partially. But the spokesman of the Resistance was referring to the entirety of the Gaza Strip, not just the northern parts.

And since then, dozens more armored vehicles were also destroyed.

On November 12, Abu Obeida declared that the number of vehicles destroyed fully or partially by the Palestinian Resistance since the beginning of the ground operation amounted to more than 160.

In addition to the 62, declared on November 17, Al-Qassam said that it had destroyed 17 additional military vehicles on Saturday, November 18, alone.

A simple math addition could offer greater clarity:

160 + 62 + 17 = 239
383 (original number of military vehicles which entered Gaza according to satellite images) – 239 = 144 remaining

Genocidal Distraction


Of course, Israel has several supply routes that allow it to evacuate some of its destroyed or damaged vehicles and replace them with functional ones, but there is no question that the rate of destruction of Israel’s military machines is unprecedented in the history of all of the wars against Arab armies.


On Saturday, Israel carried out major massacres throughout Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians, a large number of them in Al-Fakhoura and Tel Al-Zaatar schools, where hundreds of families have been sheltering since the start of the war.


According to Al-Jazeera journalist Imad Zaqout, nearly 200 Palestinians were killed in the new Israeli massacre. https://t.co/NcayYM6ypt pic.twitter.com/JCLQ0tTyxx

Though there is no military logic of how killing refugees sheltered in schools, without food or water, could benefit Israel’s declared objective of ‘destroying Hamas’, there is an explanation that could make sense out of these atrocities: distraction.

Particularly the distraction from Israel’s military failure in the north of Gaza. In other words, by creating new media headlines that focus on new massacres, Israel hopes to avoid the headlines focusing on its ongoing military defeat by the Resistance.

Lieberman was right when he said that “the war cabinet has lost the north.” He should know, after all, he too failed to subdue Gaza when he was Tel Aviv’s defense minister.
