Fifth day of the war, October 11th, status update and major events:
– Israeli death toll surpasses 1200.
– The IDF is still engaged in clashes with Hamas around the Gaza strip, most notably in the settlements of Sufa, Zikkim and Ashkelon, where they sucessfully perform rotations, but the Hamas presence outside of Gaza is decreasing day by day.
– Relentless bombing campaign of Gaza continues, as the civilian death toll rises substantially.
– The flow of electricity to homes in Gaza has fully stopped, leading to a complete power outage, as the only working power plant has run out of fuel.
– Rocket barrages towards Ashkelon and Ben Gurion Airport, as well as the use of a long range missile launched towards Haifa.
– Hezbollah carried out an ATGM strike on a group of Israeli soldiers across the Lebanese border, killing at least two IDF soldiers.
– Major confusion and hysteria erupted amongst Israeli media after the Israeli early warning system erroneously issued hundreds of red alerts across northern Israel, giving the false impression of a Hezbollah attack and forcing approximately a million Israelis into bomb shelters.
