Update Israel-Hamas - Russia-Ukraine from Jeff Davis (Patreon)

Russia-Ukraine

We told David that if he sends us another Signal we'll ask his wife to break his thumbs. He did ask to relay for those who read the Valerii Zaluzhnyi interview that he agrees with every word.

Russian forces have chipped away at Ukrainian gains north of Pryyutne.

Ukrainian forces are holding defensive lines at Avdiivka and Russian troops are digging in near the railroad tracks.

In addition to 1M artillery shells from North Korea, Russia received the North Korean version of the Iskander SRBM.

Russia has gotten much better at targeting military infrastructure with Shahed-136 drones and cruise missiles. 

Israel-Hamas

Leader of Hezbollah speech was not a declaration of war and had little substance.

Humanitarian supplies are moving at a faster pace through Rafah.

Foreign nationals and dual-passport holders are continuing to exit along with small groups of wounded Palestinians.

Questions about Israel's tactics are growing among it's allies.

The IDF is moving deeper into Gaza and the plan is to isolate Gaza City.

The Committee to Protect Journalists accused Hamas and Israel of committing war crimes for the intentional targeting of journalists.

Videos from Hamas show the IDF has not been watching Russia-Ukraine and are paying a price due to drone strikes. IDF troops are clustered too tightly together, aren't equipped with antidrone weapons, and are treating areas outside of mortar range of the Gaza Strip as the rear echelon.

Clashes between Palestinian and Israel supporters are growing in the West.
