A video has been released showing a Merkava tank opening fire on the houses of the Be'ri kibbutz during Oct. 7th futher corroborating that a big part of the deaths during that day were caused by the IDF themselves
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.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.
* 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.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.
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?
A solution involving US? No, never.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.
