Israel-Palestine war: Hamas and Hezbollah fire rockets towards Israel
Israel and Hamas war 2023
It has been almost a month since the Israel Hamas war began, and Israel has recently announced the complete encirclement of Gaza City as part of its intensified ground offensive.
The concerns of a war spillover are becoming a reality as tensions escalate on various fronts. In the latest development, Israel has announced the encirclement of Gaza's main city, which has been the primary target of Israeli attacks in their mission to annihilate the Hamas militant group.
The Israeli military Chief stated that Israeli soldiers have been operating in Gaza City for the past few days, encircling it from multiple directions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released several videos in the last 24 hours, showcasing their combat activity in Gaza.
According to the IDF, they have successfully thwarted over 130 terrorists in the past day and have targeted terrorist infrastructure, destroying a significant number of weapons. It is important to note that the IDF refers to Hamas militants as terrorists.
The Army has made it clear that the concept of a ceasefire is not currently being considered as they continue to encircle Gaza City. In response, the Hamas military wing has threatened Israel, stating that Gaza will be a curse for them and warning that their invading soldiers will face consequences.
Simultaneously, a major escalation occurred on Israel's Northern front with Lebanon, as the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, supported by Iran, claimed to have attacked 19 Israeli positions along the border.
Additionally, the military wing of Hamas announced that they fired 12 rockets from Lebanon towards the northern Israeli town of Kat Shimon The visuals on your screens depict the extent of destruction in the northern Israeli town.
As Israel engages in the conflict in Gaza, it is also facing challenges from multiple fronts, including Gaza Strip, Hamas, Hezbollah from the north, and Yemen.
All right, the significant development we are closely monitoring on VION is the ongoing relentless bombing campaign by Israel in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has expanded its air and ground offensive in the southern part of Israel near the Gaza border, and they have now reported intense fighting in Gaza City over the past few hours.
The IDF has even shared visual evidence of their operations in the area. Their objective is to cut off land access to Gaza City from the south. It is worth noting that this was a worst-case scenario anticipated by military strategists, as it involves street fighting at close quarters.
The IDF has successfully discovered and destroyed Hamas weapons and infrastructure, but they have faced strong resistance from Hamas fighters. The Israeli military has released images of tanks and snipers to demonstrate their activities within Gaza's territory.
On the other hand, Hamas claims to be holding back the Israeli forces and asserts that their fighters are equipped with machine guns and anti-tank weapons, engaging in combat with the invading Israeli forces in the northwestern part of Gaza.
The video footage displayed depicts a tactic employed by Hamas, reminiscent of Ukraine's strategy against Russian forces, where ammunition is dropped using a quadcopter drone. In this particular instance, the Israeli soldiers were caught off guard by the drone and subsequently targeted with anti-personnel ammunition. The situation on the ground raises questions about Hamas' level of preparedness for a prolonged conflict in the Gaza Strip and how much longer they can sustain their resistance against the Israeli forces.
This information is based on reports from two reliable sources within the militant group's leadership
.Israel’s Western allies fear it could be walking into a trap in Gaza as Hamas and its backers seek a wider conflict. On record, Hezbollah says that it is backing Hamas, but is not linked to the October 7th terror attack on Israel. Inside Gaza, the Israeli military said it had come under attack several times from Hamas "tunnel shafts and military compounds" as it pushes on with its offensive.

They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional.

I hope everybody stays out of the conflict. I definitely wish the USA was remaining neutral. I think that Israel's military strategy of encircling the militants is sound, although I don't understand the untargeted bombing that they have been carrying out.
