October 31, 2023: Resistance to the US/Israeli genocidal aggression continues as each day it becomes increasingly clear that the war will engulf the region.
The Israeli state actually acknowledged that their forces were taking heavy losses inside the Gaza Strip.
A spokesperson for Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades stated that their fighters were “engaged in fierce confrontations on every point of contact” with the occupation.
Al-Qassam “managed to engage with the enemy forces and destroy 22 zionist vehicles so far using the highly penetrating Al-Yassin 105 shells,” managing to kill many occupation soldiers in combat. Their naval forces hit many targets today as well.
A large number of soldiers were killed and wounded during clashes in Karama, in the Gaza Strip. In Beit Hanoun, reports state that a very large ambush was prepared by fighters who lured a number of soldiers into a building and exploded it resulting in significant casualties.
A Saraya Al-Quds commander in northern Gaza said, “We dare the enemy leadership to expose their losses in the clashes that were fought today in many axes across northern Gaza. If the enemy leadership exposes these human loses today, the government would fall immediately.”
Al-Qassam forces also a launched several missile attacks against occupied cities and towns. Reports state that the Iron Dome is now being overwhelmed and towns like Sderot will not be protected much longer.
On the northern front, Hezbollah’s leader is preparing a statement on Friday that is supposed to have enormous implications for the war. Today they released a graphic detailing the damage they have caused to the zionist army.
- 120 killed of wounded soldiers
- 69 communications systems destroyed
- 17 jamming systrems destroyed
- 27 intelligence systems destroyed
- 65000 settlers evacuated from 28 settlements
- 13 armoured vehciles destroyed
- 105 military sites targeted
- 140 cameras destroyed
- 33 radars destroyed
- 1 UAV drone destroyed
Hezbollah targeted the IDF today in five settlements leading to several confirmed casualties and the destruction of a Merkava tank with its crew inside.
Yemen’s military spokesman had a huge public annoucnement declaring their official engagement in conflict with the zionist occupation forces. They claimed responsibility for several missile and drone attacks on Israel in the last few days and announced one today, with targeted the coastal city Eilat.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) released an important statement today as well. They stated “time is of the essence, and history is unforgiving.” They called on people:
- To expel the ambassadors of aggression.
- A cry of anger and dignity to the entire Arab street to stop the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.
- It is time to close the American military bases in the Arab countries.
- For the workers’ unions in global ports to refuse to unload or load any weapons shipments from or to the zionist entity.
Bolivia, Chile, and Colombia all severed diplomatic ties and recalled ambassadors from Israel. And the Belgian transport unions refused to load and unload weapons going to Israel.
Israel contiuned its barbaric attacks throughout the day, almost exclusively targeting civilians, in the normal American/Israeli fashion. Israeli, US supplied, war planes bombed the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing over 50 people and wounding almost 200 people. Israel, unlike its previous hospital bombing, publicly claimed responsibility for the massacre, as the US continues to provide cover, and openly continues to support the killing of civilians in Gaza.
Israel’s atrocities drove a top UN official to resign today stating the organization “appears powerless” to stop an unfolding genocide in Gaza. He said “across the land (Israel), apartheid rules. This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in Palestine. What’s more, the governments on the United States, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe, are wholly complicit in the horrific assault…they are actively arming the assault, providing economic and intelligence support, and giving political and diplomatic cover for Israel’s atrocities.”
In light of this reality, the US is clearly an active participant in hostilities and in the coming days it will likely be dragged into an existential war that it cannot win.
