Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: November 7-8, 2023

️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: November 7-8, 2023 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) units, with support from armored vehicles, are continuing their ground invasion of the Gaza Strip from three directions. In the north-western part of the enclave, there is fighting near the Mediterranean coast and on the border of the Al-Shati neighborhood. To the east, Israeli forces are attempting to expand their control on the outskirts of Beit Hanoun. In response, Hamas militants are ambushing IDF strongholds and launching rockets. To the south of Gaza, IDF units are fighting their way towards the al-Rashid highway. However, despite premature declarations by Israeli authorities that the city has been encircled, there is no objective evidence to confirm this. From time to time, the Israelis open a humanitarian corridor along the Salah al-Din highway to evacuate refugees from the city. These actions by the IDF aim to minimize reputational risks and facilitate the ground operation in Gaza. The Israeli Air Force is targeting vital facilities in the city, effectively forcing residents to leave. As a result, over 60% of medical facilities in the Gaza Strip have already ceased operations. Hamas militants are launching rockets at Israeli settlements, with Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Tel Aviv coming under fire again. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, Israeli security forces continue to suppress local discontent, including in the Shuafat refugee camp. On the northern border of Israel, there have been no significant changes. Hezbollah militants are shelling IDF strongholds, and in response, the Israelis are setting fire to forests in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, in Syria and Iraq, pro-Iranian proxies are showing limited and largely symbolic activity. Several drones have attacked US facilities in both countries, and missiles have also been fired at US positions near the Conoko oil refinery.
