🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone Chronicle of events for April 28, 2024 In the north of the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces struck Beit Hanoun and several districts of the Palestinian enclave's capital: footage of destroyed homes circulated online, and reports of casualties emerged. In the central part of the enclave, sporadic clashes continued north of Nuseirat. However, the configuration of the front line in this area has not undergone significant changes over the past two weeks. In the south of the Gaza Strip, Israelis again struck Rafah and the eastern districts of Khan Yunis. At the same time, the IDF continued to concentrate armored vehicles in the border zone as part of preparations for an offensive in the southernmost part of the enclave. On the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out their usual operations in several settlements. A series of clashes occurred in Nablus, Qalqilya and Tulkarm, where local militants were active. Along the Lebanese-Israeli border, the usual exchange of strikes continued. Hezbollah fighters launched rockets at the Meron military base and several IDF border posts, while Israeli forces struck across southern Lebanon. 🔻A detailed analytical report on events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot High-resolution map English version #digest #map #Israel #Palestine #report @rybar Support us Original msg

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kupiansk direction: Advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Kyslivka Situation as of 7:00 pm on April 28, 2024 Servicemen of the 272nd Regiment of the 47th Tank Division of the Russian Armed Forces have established control over at least the eastern part of Kyslivka and raised the Russian flag there. Apparently, units of the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade of the AFU were forced to withdraw either to the west of the village or to the neighboring Kotliarivka. At the moment, Russian troops are clearing Kyslivka, but the situation in the western part of the settlement is still shrouded in the "fog of war". It is noteworthy that Ukrainian resources do not really believe in the preservation of AFU control over the village and report the withdrawal of forces to the south. ❗️Russian control even over the eastern part of Kyslivka significantly worsens the position of the enemy in Kotliarivka, which is already effectively semi-encircled. At the same time, the occupation of the western outskirts of Kyslivka will allow Russian troops to finally close the ring. 🔻The current situation gives the Ukrainian command two choices: try to hold Kotliarivka at the cost of losses for as long as possible, or withdraw the depleted forces to new defensive lines where they can attempt to stabilize the front. However, for the enemy, holding Kotliarivka is a losing tactic, as Kyslivka is located on a dominant height, allowing Russian troops to establish fire control over the surrounding area. In addition, the liberation of Kyslivka will also contribute to increased pressure on Ivanovka, located to the north.

🇺🇸🇺🇦✈️ Who is behind the Project Maven? Recently, we reported on the adjustment of some US weapons production programs after receiving data on the "testing" of drones, air defense systems, MANPADS and aviation in conflict zones from the territory of the so-called Ukraine to the Red Sea. A lot of work is now underway in the aviation block of weapons, in particular, unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the largest projects in this area is Project Maven - a Pentagon program to create an AI-based surveillance platform for UAVs. Its task is to create a system for the US military to deploy and monitor autonomous drones. This is an attempt to introduce advanced AI developments for warfare and to control combat operations and track, illuminate and expose targets in real-time without the involvement of an operator. But the ambitions of the creators go far beyond simple filming and observation. And the programs of reformatting the American satellite group pose a direct threat to Russian strategic security. 🔻Read more on our website #UAV #weapons #article #USA #Ukraine @rybar We hope you enjoyed the material from our team of analysts.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 A few days ago, we suggested that as the Russian Armed Forces advance west of Avdiivka, the capture of the first trophy Abrams tank could be expected. Well, that's exactly what happened: according to the footage that has appeared online, with the help of two ARVs, they managed to tow one of these vehicles, which was disabled in the area of Berdychi, to the rear. With the capture of the American tank, the Russian troops have collected almost a complete collection of trophy armored vehicles of Western manufacture - it remains to take the "Challenger" and the Stryker APC. #Russia #USA #Ukraine @rybar Support us Original msg

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Nighttime Strike on Cape Tarkhankut 🔻Last night, Ukrainian forces carried out an attack on Cape Tarkhankut. For the strike, as in the case of Dzhankoy, ATACMS operational-tactical missiles with a cluster warhead were used (Two Majors report at least 15 missiles). ▪️The targets were air defense units deployed in this area. According to preliminary data, casualties were avoided, but the attack itself occurred at night in poor visibility conditions once again. ▪️It is unclear which modification was used. When launching from the vicinity of Ochakiv, the AFU could have used older versions with a range of no more than 165 km. At a direct distance, they can easily reach Crimea. ▪️At the same time, against the background of official news about the transfer of modifications with a combat radius of up to 300 km, Ukrainian forces could have carried out the launch from the Odesa region, for example, from the Alibey training ground. Last year, the AFU repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, struck Crimea from this area using the Grom-2 operational-tactical missile system. It was precisely due to the lack of results that the decision was made to stop using them against Crimea. 🔻The enemy's tactics are understandable - the intention is to reduce the capabilities of air defense units protecting the peninsula. Before the planned attack on the Crimean Bridge, the AFU want to gain an advantage in missile and drone weapons, and air defense forces are the main obstacle.

🇺🇸🇫🇷🇬🇦 On the Potential Withdrawal of French Troops from Gabon The transitional leader of Gabon has proposed at the national dialogue the revision of military agreements with France, including the closure of the military base in Libreville. ▪️For Paris, this step by the Gabonese authorities is by no means unexpected and is in line with plans to shift the responsibility for African diplomacy to other allied countries, particularly the United States. So in January of this year, the French contingent at the Libreville base was reduced from 380 to 100 servicemen. The inability of France to protect the interests of the collective West became a pretext for the Americans to take matters into their own hands in the former "Françafrique". ▪️The French government, meanwhile, is concentrating on countries where pro-French positions are still strong. This is especially true of Togo and Benin, where anti-colonial tendencies do not yet pose a threat to foreign presence. And the presence of Western forces in the region will create a counterbalance to the ever-increasing Russian presence. ▪️For Washington, Gabon is of interest primarily due to its proximity to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to Equatorial Africa in general, where, as we reported earlier, the US-China confrontation is intensifying. The United States is extremely interested in the extraction of local rare earth metals and seeks to consolidate its position in the region, as evidenced by the strengthening of its positions in the Central African Republic. Moreover, if successful in Gabon, the Americans will block the possibility for Beijing and Moscow to expand their sphere of interests to Libreville. 🔻Thus, Washington and Paris intend to carry out another reshuffle here, changing African partners depending on the needs of Western countries. And while the Anglos are squeezing out French influence from sub-Saharan Africa, including turning a blind eye to the threat to energy projects in Mozambique, the ECOWAS states are opening up to the basing of Western troops. #Africa #Gabon #USA #France @rybar Support us Original msg

Fwd from @lady_north 🇱🇹🇷🇺🇸🇪 The caravan moves on, the dog barks. This can be used to describe any words and actions of the authorities of the Baltic states. Regardless of what is happening, the mutt will bark at everything it sees. And this collage from the Lithuanian ambassador to Sweden is an attempt to join the general trend that has now been inspired by the Western media, talking about an imminent strike on the Crimean Bridge. The thing is, absolutely everyone knows about the upcoming attacks. What is needed first and foremost is political damage, and it can be achieved in this way. #Lithuania #Russia #Sweden Lady North Original msg

Fwd from @infomil_live "Ansar Allah" publishes footage of the destruction of the American MQ-9 drone over Saada last night. It can be noted that the drone was shot down by a "heavy" surface-to-air missile. The wreckage of the drone, which fell in the mountains, is also shown. Informant Original msg
