@thebeaver thanks. Rear Admiral Hagari is positive that at least one hospital (Shifa) is also a cover for Hamas operations . He also mentioned that this information is shared with the (unspecified) intelligence community. If this information is confirmed, this mean that there is no need to shell all across the place but rather to focus on ground operations at these hospitals. If the intelligence is shaky, theyâll have to take the blame on the world stage. Tough call.

I have no doubt thereâs a city or cities underground with all thatâs necessary to survive for an extended period of time. All that diesel too. IDF is likely not reporting all the locations and might be trying to chase Hamas away from Shifa and into another location(s).
Ok, the comms have been cut.
Israel appears to be sending up flares over Gaza now. Lighting the way?
IDF says expanding ground cover. Not a full ground invasion yet.

Jordanian UN envoy: âIsrael just launched a ground war on Gazaâ
Ayman Safadi, Jordanâs minister of foreign affairs, has said that Israel has launched a ground war on Gaza and would result in a âhuman catastropheâ.
âIsrael just launched a ground war on Gaza. Outcome will be a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions for years to come,â he wrote on X.
âVoting against Arab #UNGA resolution means approving this senseless war, this senseless killing. Millions will be watching every vote. History will judge.â
Jordan, on behalf of several Arab countries, has put forward a resolution to the 193 member UN General Assembly calling for a humanitarian ceasefire, after a similar resolution put forward by Russia at the UN Security Council failed to pass.

Al-Nusra launched attacks on SAA positions in northern Latakia.
It is interesting that with the launch of the US-Isr action, Al-Nusra and ISIS (deserts of Homs) are also starting⌠I would not be surprised if HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) was also launched in Idlib. By the way, a group of W guys is somewhere around Aleppo.

Heavy bombing from air, artillery, possibly bunker busters being used. Heavy exchange of gunfire being reported by various sources (can hear it on internet). Tanks possibly entered outer parts of Gaza. All of these reports unconfirmed except for airstrikes, which you canât miss if youâre watching.
Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea north.
Egyptian and Israeli fighter jets both fly.
Air defense units along the Red Sea have been put on heightened combat readiness. The Egyptian Air Force is up and controlling the skies.
Egyptian and Israeli warplanes are reportedly operating in âdangerous proximityâ to each other over Eilat and Taba.
S2 Underground reports ground assaults on Gaza by Israel have begun. West Bank getting hit too.

The Israeli military has told Reuters and AFP that it cannot guarantee the safety of their journalists currently working in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a letter written to the two international news agencies, the military said it was âtargeting all Hamas military activity throughout Gazaâ and that its bombardment could cause damage to surrounding buildings.
âUnder these circumstances, we cannot guarantee your employeesâ safety, and strongly urge you to take all necessary measures for their safety,â it said.
In response to the letter, Reuters said in a statement: âThe situation on the ground is dire, and the [Israeli militaryâs] unwillingness to give assurances about the safety of our staff threatens their ability to deliver the news about this conflict without fear of being injured or killed.â
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 27 journalists have been killed since the war began (22 Palestinians, four Israelis and one Lebanese).
