Amendment #3 as of 12.18.2023:
Given how the thread has now cooled down, we are now loosening up the rules. Discourse is now permitted as well as long as they follow the rules above and the following new rule: no off topic moralizations about whether or not a people deserve genocide. Otherwise you will be banned from the thread. All previous bans and warnings are nullified.

Up close details of the Namer APC that was destroyed

Quite a lot of damage to a vehicle that is supposed to be heavily armored.
I think this is an Achzarait APC, not a Namer. I see people confuse it a lot. Achzarait is an old APC based on T-55 they captured. It is much less valuable. Whereas Namer is based on Merkava tanks and much newer.

Two speechless news about IDF.

The first is that, despite the war, the IDF continues to experience theft of arms. It was reported that after the IDF had moved into a factory, the employees of the factory stole three ATGMs and machine gun ammunition, as well as other equipment, right under the noses of the IDF soldiers. The whereabouts of one ATGM is currently unknown.

Secondly, parents of the Israeli Paratrooper Brigade complained that the army would not allow them to contact their children. It is also claimed that the children have complained to them that the Brigade has never had the opportunity to enjoy teatime snacks since October 7th. Jesus Christ, with the IDF fighting like shit as elite paratroopers are still thinking about teatime snacks??

Zionist entity is pretty obviously hiding its fatalities. They haven't announced a single death on the northern front in weeks despite Idf Commander of the Home Front Command going on the record that the situation in the North is worse than in Gaza.

Despite claiming to be “the only democracy in the Middle East,” Tel Aviv maintains a tight grip on information related to military casualties through the use of military censors, controlling what the press can publish concerning national security issues, including injuries and deaths of soldiers.

“The human losses announced by the security establishment are usually binding on hundreds of media institutions, and these are allowed to work basically according to this rule. The death toll always comes from one source, and no one questions it," Hassan Abdo, The Cradle’s Palestine Correspondent, reported earlier this year.

Abdo attributes this to preserving the image of the invincible Israeli soldier “who does not fall victim to a weak, primitive opponent.”

This is “one of the main pillars of the Zionist project based on the tripartite of security, immigration, and settlement,” he added.

As The Cradle noted, even before the outbreak of war on 7 October, Israeli soldiers have had a strange tendency to die in “accidents” during periods of heightened conflict with the Palestinian resistance, including in car accidents, plane crashes, suicides, gas leaks, and even falling from balconies.

But this invincible image was shattered with the operation Al-Aqsa Flood, when Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups broke out of the Gaza Strip to attack the Israeli military bases and settlements (kibbutzim) enforcing the brutal 17-year siege on the tiny and impoverished enclave.

During Al-Aqsa Flood, Hamas killed 41 soldiers from Grinberg’s Golani battalion alone, in major battles at the Re’im and Nahal Oz military bases.
* Author of the article used older Hezbollah estimate of the casualties suffered by zionist entity. Hezbollah published an updated infographic on Nov 22 which showed that 354 occupation army' soldiers have been killed or injured since Oct 7.

What is the current status of the War in terms of how much of Gaza Israel has captured? Is there a map that shows current gaza control? How long can Hamas last at the current pace?

I don't think this war can be characterized by territory control. This is typical counter-insurgency, and the only way this war will end is when either Israel calls it a day, or they completely dismantle the Hamas organization.

Currently the red sea is brimming with military vessels, even China has 2 type 54As in the AO. So in the case that a convoy solution is reached, will PLAN join to protect Chinese flagged cargo ships? It does not really seem that Houthis is being particularly discriminate in terms of targeting so far.

China does have stake in this, as Asia European sea trade is getting majorly disrupted with ships beginning to route around Africa instead of Suez.
A solution involving US? No, never.

If necessary, PLAN will act alone or within a framework without US. China should never lend any legitimacy to the US, or act under US leadership, wiping the dump of US. The US created the problem, they clean it.
