Dear folks,
The heaviest bombardments of Gaza take place right now. The Hamas infrastructure is destroyed right now and after that the Israeli's will destroy the underground Hamas infrastructure of hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, underground command centers, underground facilities, communication networks, arms supplies and the forces of the armed wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. In the same time the Israeli's will try to destroy the extremist, Islamist terrorist Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization, with it's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, and the terrorist secular Palestinian Marxist–Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and it's armed wing, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades. The The PFLP, and by extension the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, like Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, receive military and financial support by Iran. The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades carried out at least 6 Suicide bombings which killed 10 Israeli's and killed 6 other Israeli's. During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades published videos of it storming Israeli watchtowers. The military wing of Fatah, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades is also a problem for the Israeli's in the Westbank.
Another danger for the Israeli army in Gaza are the Popular Resistance Committees, and their military wing the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades.
The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) (Arabic: لجان المقاومة الشعبية, Lijān al-Muqāwama al-Shaʿbiyya) is a coalition of a number of armed Palestinian groups opposed to what they regard as the conciliatory approach of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah towards Israel. The PRC is especially active in the Gaza Strip, through its military wing, the Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades. The PRC has planned and executed a number of varied operations, but specializes in planting roadside bombs and vehicle explosive charges - directed against military and civilian convoys.
Formed in late 2000 by former Fatah and Tanzim member Jamal Abu Samhadana, the PRC is composed primarily of ex-Fatah fighters and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades members and is alleged by Israel to be inspired and financed by Hezbollah. The present leader of PRC is Ayman al-Shashniya.
The PRC is believed to be the third strongest faction active in the Gaza Strip, after Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and has been designated a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States.
In October 2023, during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Israel claimed to have killed the head of PRC's armed wing, Rafat Abu Hilal, in an airstrike in Rafah.
The Lions' Den (Arabic: عرين الأسود, romanized: ʿArīn al-ʾUsud), a Palestinian militant group operating in the Israeli-occupied West Bank is also a problem for the Israeli's.
The group emerged in August 2022, a year of increased violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and takes its moniker from Ibrahim al-Nablusi, a prominent militant from Nablus, nicknamed The Lion of Nablus, who was killed in an Israeli raid. It comprises members of other Palestinian militant organizations, traditionally opposed by Fatah, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and disaffected members of Fatah, mainly young and secular. The group is reportedly based in the Old City of Nablus.
The organization was founded by a 25-year-old Palestinian named Mohammed al-Azizi, more commonly known as "Abu Saleh", and his friend Abdel Rahman Suboh, or "Abu Adam", 28 years old. They were both killed in fighting in July 2022.
The Lions' Den has experienced a rise in popularity among Palestinians in the West Bank, regularly sharing videos of their attacks on social media. The New York Times reported in 2023 that the popularity of the group among some young Palestinians reflects the growing support of armed resistance against the 56-year old Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, including frustrations with the expansion of Israeli settlements, Israeli settler violence, and ineffective governance by the Palestinian Authority (PA).
The largest thread for Israeli's and Westerners in the Levant region of the Middle East comes however from Southern Lebanon, the Israeli Golan Heights border with Syria (an area of Israel mainly inhabited by Syrian Druze and Israeli Jews), the border with Jordan, the border with Egypt (with extremist Islamist elements in the Sinai desert which attacked the Egyptian police and army and killed a lot of Egyptian soldiers and police officers, attacking army bases and army columns, and these Egyptian extremists entered Israel, destroying part of the Egyptian-Israeli border fence, and killed Israeli soldiers before they were killed themselves), and last but not least there is a thread for Israel (and Egypt) from long range missile attacks from Shiite Muslim Houthi rebels from Yemen and Iranian attacks (from Syria and Lebanon, Iranian Quds forces or instructors there). The Israeli's eliminated a external threat coming from the Red Sea.
The Israeli's face multiple dangers, which can not all be stopped by Israel and the American Navy in the Eastern Mediterranean, nor by the US Army present in Syria and Iraq. Hezbollah has an enormous arms arsenal (supply) of rockets, RPG's (Rocket-propelled grenade's), mortars, heavy machine guns, rifles and a large force of trained fighters. The armed wing of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance Brigades is a non-denominational Lebanese paramilitary group affiliated with Hezbollah. You have to realize that the Lebanese Resistance Brigades is stronger than the Lebanese army. The irregular militia is composed of Sunni Muslims, Christians, Druze and non-practicing Shiites who subscribe to anti-Israel beliefs. The Resistance Brigades are funded, trained, armed, and founded by Hezbollah. The group's manpower, composition, and strength are unclear.
The group was founded in 1997 to counter Israel, but its focus has since expanded to countering Sunni extremists like ISIL (Islamic State/Daesh) as well.
Resistance Brigade members are trained in Hezbollah-run camps alongside normal Hezbollah recruits. However, they do not receive Hezbollah's ideological training. A recruiter described the group as "made for non-extremist people." The militia is popular among Christians in Beqaa Valley and north Lebanon.
The militia is described as an "operational auxiliary" or subsidiary of Hezbollah. Group members fight under the Hezbollah flag and command structure in combat, but are at least nominally separate in peacetime. They also receive intelligence from Hezbollah.
Israel–Lebanon border
On 8 October, Hezbollah fired rockets and shells at the Shebaa Farms region; in response the IDF fired artillery shells and sent a military drone into southern Lebanon.
On 9 October, the IDF claimed to have killed several infiltrators from Lebanon and fired artillery across the border. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad militia later claimed responsibility for the armed infiltration. Later in the day, renewed fighting between Hezbollah and Israeli troops resulted in the deaths of three Hezbollah gunmen and three IDF soldiers, including a senior officer. The IDF's Home Front Command ordered residents in 28 towns in northern Israel to seek refuge in bomb shelters. Artillery shelling was also reported from militants based in Syria.
On 10 October, Hezbollah fired an anti-tank guided missile at an Israeli military vehicle near Avivim, prompting a retaliatory Israeli helicopter strike. Shells from Syria struck Israeli positions in the Golan Heights, and Israeli forces returned fire.
On 13 October, the IDF fired artillery into southern Lebanon, after an explosion that caused minor damage to a section of the Israel-Lebanon border wall, near the kibbutz of Hanita. A Lebanese Reuters correspondent was killed and at least four other journalists were injured.
On 14 October, the IDF said it had killed three infiltrators from Lebanon in a drone strike near Margaliot.[300] Later in the afternoon, Hezbollah shelled five IDF outposts in the occupied Shebaa Farms.
On 15 October, the headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping force in south Lebanon (UNIFIL) in Naqoura was struck by a rocket.[302] Hezbollah launched five anti-tank missiles towards northern Israel, killing one civilian and injuring 3 others in Shtula. Lieutenant Amitai Granot, commander of the 75th Battalion of the IDF's Golan Brigade and son of Rabbi Tamir Granot, was killed in a missile attack on an IDF post bordering Lebanon.
On 16 October, the IDF announced the evacuation of residents of settlements two kilometers away from the Lebanese border. In the afternoon, Hezbollah opened fire on IDF positions near the border and claimed to be destroying surveillance cameras on several Israeli Army posts, prompting the IDF to respond with artillery. In the evening, anti-tank missiles were fired at an IDF tank. The IDF responded with artillery.
On 17 October, an anti-tank missile from Lebanon landed in the Israeli town of Metula. The IDF said it had killed four would-be infiltrators along the Lebanese border. Lebanese state media reported that the village of Dhayra and other areas along the western section of the border came under "continuous" bombardment overnight.
After Hamas defeat
Who will take over the Power and responsibility for Gaza after Hamas is ousted from Power? That is an interesting question? Will Israel occupy Gaza, will an international Peace keeping UN military force and administration take over. Will Israel & Egypt have a shared occupation authority, or will the Arab Leage rule Gaza. Another option would be that Fatah and the PLO, the Palestinian Authority of the Westbank will take over the Power in the Gaza Strip. Also a possibility will be that a New Palestinian movement, a New Palestinian Initiative, A National Unity movement of Palestinians of former Fatah, Hamas, PFLP and Islamic Jihad members will take over Power in a Coalition agreement. But most likely Fatah/the PLO/the Palestinan Authority will take over the Power supported by Israel, the USA, the EU, the United Nations, the Arab Leage, Egypt, Saoudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrein, Russia, China and India.
