The war in the Gaza Strip and along the Lebanese border has been ongoing for almost five months now, yet there is still uncertainty regarding Israel's objectives in the conflict.

Destroying the Hamas regime necessitates the identification of an alternative entity to replace it, but none exists. Israel itself does not want to control the Gaza Strip – directly, indirectly, or covertly. And as a result, Israel cannot prevent Hamas members from returning and enforcing their authority over the residents in the Gaza Strip.

From the Russian perspective, the use of thermobaric warheads integrated into rocket ammunition such as the TOS-1A system (the Russian equivalent of the MLRS) manufactured by Omsktransmash, has been highly successful on the battlefield in Ukraine.

The system can launch two projectiles simultaneously. Both projectiles are equipped with thermobaric warheads, which, although not precise, cause significant damage due to the thermobaric effect.

Israel Shipyards unveiled a new landing craft, 24 meters in length, which it tailored for an “undisclosed yet esteemed customer,” according to the company.
Israel Shipyards says that this craft, designed for a broad spectrum of missions, is ideal for nations aiming to enhance their operational capabilities on rivers and lakes.

Foreign sources have already reported in the past that the Israeli Navy has several such landing craft that are used by the 13th flotilla to transport commando vehicles.

Over the past few days, the IDF has conducted a targeted operation in the Nasser hospital in Gaza’s Khan Yunis area, arresting Hamas terrorists and confiscating weapons found on the premises, including mortars and grenades. The Israeli forces also located medications labeled with the names of hostages.

On Tuesday, the IDF announced that it has information proving that Hamas continues to conduct military activities within the hospital and that the place was also used to hold hostages.

Most people who carry guns are not skilled enough to operate them. During an incident or event, the person with a firearm must understand the situation around him, identify the threat, and calmly pull out, step on, point, and squeeze the trigger in the direction of the target.

In the autumn of 2000, the IDF Central Command conducted an extensive series of preparations for an impending severe security escalation in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). These were the days following the failure of the Camp David Summit between Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat.

The situation was still entirely calm, but the preparations included providing defense measures alongside numerous exercises - from squad and battalion level training to the entire command level.
