Tensions Rise in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone
Updates as of October 27, 2023 - 20:00Z
By evening, rumors began circulating online that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had launched a ground operation in Gaza Strip. However, the reality is slightly different: the IDF has been conducting ground operations, specifically raids, in the enclave for the past two days with varying degrees of success.
The intensity of IDF airstrikes has significantly increased, and internet and mobile communications have been completely cut off in the enclave. While this may not mark the start of a full-fledged ground operation, the IDF has the option to claim that they haven't even begun if needed. Nonetheless, all the conditions for a ground operation have been set, but only time will tell if it has indeed commenced.
In response, Palestinian groups, including Hamas and its allies, have also become more active. They are launching attacks on Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, and settlements along the Gaza Strip border.
Regarding the raids, the Israelis faced setbacks. In the morning, Israeli special forces attempted to enter the enclave at Magazi and Breij, but were ambushed by the Palestinians. Additionally, Israeli troops landed on the beach near Rafah, engaged with the Palestinians, and were eventually forced to retreat.
Meanwhile, on the Israeli-Lebanese border, Hezbollah and the IDF continue to exchange blows. The IDF is actively burning the undergrowth in southern Lebanon to hinder the movement of their opponents near the borders.
Journalists from Lebanese publication Al Mayadeen also reported an attack on the Israeli Dahlak military base in Eritrea, but did not provide further details.
