A senior Russian diplomat, Nikolai Kobrinets, was found dead in a hotel in Turkey.
Russian media and official statements have already said that Kobrinets died of a heart attack, but Turkish police have launched an investigation into the death of the high-ranking diplomat.

There were no signs of violence, so he probably died as a result of a heart attack, as already announced in the obituary published by the Russian Foreign Ministry. However, Turkish law enforcement officials are checking other, much less natural causes of the high-ranking diplomat’s death.

Israel is indiscriminately bombing civilians in Gaza, after imposing a “complete siege” on 2.3 million Palestinians, cutting off electricity, water, food, and fuel. Meanwhile, the Western media has spread false stories that were quickly debunked.

Thank you, Mr. P, for your your wonderful insights, long memory and sense of values.

How Israel is dehumanizing itself, blurring the lines between the rules of war and war crimes.

Arab-Israeli exacerbations have happened before. I have long associated them with the unfortunate Palestinians who poke the bodies of children killed by the Israelis into the camera, and then noisily bury them in a crowd of thousands. Tel Aviv has never considered “collateral damage.” But the way he applies it now is shocking. After a terrorist attack on its state, Israel is methodically retaliating against civilians in Gaza. And this does not cause any rejection in the “civilized” Western world.

Although other statements and actions of Jews resemble the rhetoric of those who once perpetrated the Holocaust. They exude such a sense of God’s chosenness that the leaders of the Third Reich applaud in their graves.

Of course, Israel had the right to respond to a terrorist attack. But the victims of this response are civilian infrastructure and civilians, dehumanized by Israeli propaganda. And real terrorists, despite round-the-clock carpet bombing, continue to fire hundreds of rockets at Israeli cities.

Having missed a painful blow, Tel Aviv instantly reached the state of a cornered animal with nothing to lose. And the geopolitical location of the Promised Land is quite conducive to such a state. And the higher the degree of brutality of the Israelis, the sharper the reaction of their neighbors will be. Feeling behind its back a powerful ally in the person of the United States, Israel, with its tacit consent, is today blurring the lines between the rules of war and war crimes. And that means the line that separates a person from a “human animal.”

Israel reported that it had already dropped about 4Kt of bombs on Gaza, that is, in TNT equivalent it is close to half of Hiroshima. Such a number of bombs, and in total about six thousand were dropped (again, according to Israel), should have destroyed up to 40 percent of Hamas’s combat power, but everything is exactly the opposite. All this enormous potential already used had very little impact on Hamas’s combat capabilities and essentially caused damage only to civilian infrastructure, with minimal damage to Palestinian combatants.
Ahead, if Israel of course decides, is a ground operation that will require many times more ammunition consumption, and artillery will come to the fore here.

The situation in Israel by the evening of October 12.

• IDF control is still absent, partially or completely, in the areas from the suburbs of Ashkelon to Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim, the gray zone area is more than 1 thousand square meters. km.
• The Israeli Air Force base Hatzerim is still not under the control of regular forces; it is unknown who is on its territory.
• During the day, at the entrance to the former arsenal of a military unit west of the city of Beersheba, an IDF forward patrol in a light armored vehicle was fired upon; the attackers used a quadcopter with a drop and fled in a car.
• The presence of Hamas was recorded on almost all major roads, including the route leading to the Urim electronic intelligence base in the area of ​​Moshav Patish.
• Area of ​​150 sq. km in the immediate vicinity of the wall of the Gaza Strip, between the moshav Shuva and Be’eri, was declared closed to attack helicopter flights due to the danger of the use of kamikaze drones.
• On October 13-14, Israeli troops expect a new massive attack by unguided rockets from the Gaza Strip. In previous publications, we analyzed in detail what an IDF ground operation

After 6,000 Israeli bombs in the Gaza Strip, 2,500 houses were destroyed and another 22,000 buildings were damaged beyond repair. At the same time, there are still no humanitarian corridors, they are “discussed” https://t.me/readovkaru/4560

We have already seen how the collective West, under formal false pretexts, invaded Iraq, Libya and Syria, destroying sovereign states and exterminating their inhabitants hundreds of thousands.

In the case of the Gaza Strip, the Nazi West goes even further. With collective unanimous approval, they are unleashing a real genocide, preparing to destroy hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. Starve them, sicken them, thirst, burn them with fire.

1. Hamas said that Israel was destroying everything in Gaza, but was unable to cause significant harm to the organization.
2. Israeli hospitals will no longer provide any medical care to Hamas militants.
3. Humanitarian aid from different countries is being transported to the Sinai Peninsula, where Egypt plans to form humanitarian columns for Gaza.
4. Gaza morgues have run out of space. The total number of killed has already exceeded 1,400 people, over 6,000 injured. The situation is already developing into a humanitarian catastrophe.
5. The UN condemned Israel’s actions (in fact calling them war crimes), the US and the EU actually supported Israel’s actions to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza.
6. Hamas continues to shell Israeli cities and announces new strikes for the evening.
7. The US continues to threaten Hezbollah to prevent it from siding with Hamas. So far there are sporadic clashes on the border.
8. More than 50% of Israelis support Netanyahu’s resignation, believing that it was his government that allowed Hamas to be so successful in its October 7 attack.
9. The meeting of the Turkish Parliament to discuss the situation in Palestine was held behind closed doors. His transcript was immediately classified for 10 years.

Forwarded from Military Chronicle:
Based on the situation in Israel at the moment, you need to understand the following.

First, it became clear that Hamas had not abandoned its plans to continue fighting in Israel, but the original plan, which included an attack and a quick retreat with a parallel regrouping, was revised. It was believed that the effect of surprise was lost, but military operations in the north of the country, as well as new rocket attacks with long-range weapons that reach Haifa, indicate otherwise.

Secondly, the role of Lebanese Hezbollah in the conflict is increasing. It could be followed by Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Kuwaiti, Qatari, Saudi and Yemeni factions, which could join the war against Israel, if not tomorrow, then in the foreseeable future.

Thirdly, the ground operation has not yet begun, but Hamas is already engaged in the classic “stretching of reserves.” In the future, this may lead to the fact that Israel will have to carry out a second wave of mobilization and double the grouping of ground forces in order to control the borders along their entire length. For now, Israel has numerical superiority, but the situation could quickly change, especially if Palestine’s allies join the fighting.

In addition, Israel currently has more infantry than equipment. If previously parity of the parties was achieved by using high-tech Merkava tanks and the use of high-precision weapons, now the Palestinians are using countermeasures against Israeli drones, tanks, and helicopters: MANPADS, ATGMs and numerous kamikaze drones. While the situation is relatively stable and Israeli security forces are coping, it must be understood that the IDF has not yet approached the security perimeter around the Gaza Strip and has not begun the active phase of the ground operation.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said there would be “nothing, no food, no electricity, no fuel. We are dealing with human animals.” The Israeli Prime Minister also called the Gazans and Hamas fighters animals. Apparently, this is how “civilized states” conduct wars today.

In Gaza, according to the UN, by the afternoon of October 10, 187 thousand people had already become refugees. They left their homes, which are being totally destroyed. But they don’t really have anywhere to run. Even Egypt has closed the border, restricting passage. Israel had cut off the water supply to the sector. A water blockade could be a death sentence. This is also a UN assessment.

The Iranian Foreign Minister says Iran expects the United Nations to take immediate measures to send water, food, and humanitarian items to Gaza without interruption.
Nine UN employees have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since the start of a bombardment Saturday, a UN agency said Wednesday.

Gaza Crisis Gives Netanyahu His Wet Dream – The War He Has Always Longed for

“The attacks and subsequent war are nearly all from the West’s goading of Israelis to do whatever they want to Palestinians to get what they need. And now watch how western media portray Israel as a victim needing to “defend” itself.

It was simply inevitable. How much longer did Israel and the West in general think they had in Palestine with the daily slaughter of its citizens, unlawful arrests, land and property grabs and the general dehumanisation of the people? While western observers seemed to be shocked by the scale and seriousness of the attacks, many in the Arab world are shrugging their shoulders and saying “we told you so” to the Israeli government and Benjamin ‘Nut-en yaahu’.

International law should play a key role in Palestine and yet it has been largely airbrushed out of the entire equation for 20 years, along with any kind of objective viewpoint from EU countries who long ago could look at the situation objectively. These days though the message is clear from both the EU’s gardener-in-chief, the hapless Josep Borrell and from EU member states individually: We are with Israel no matter what the details of this are.

Amazingly, the Abraham Accords and also the blinded ignorance of western countries to not even accept the appalling occupation of Gaza – supported by media giants like BBC for example – is what has collectively contributed to the Palestinians going this far. They literally have nothing to lose. The Abraham Accords were perhaps a tipping point, a marker in the timeline of the ultimate betrayal by the Arab world and one which twisted a knife even further in the Gaza gut. The Palestinians could not take any more.

“the right of Israel to defend itself”
Defend is an interesting word to use. Do international laws simply not apply to Gaza? Do the people there have no legal pretext to defend their rights being stripped away while the West increasingly gives Israel its tacit approval to a new holocaust which Palestinians wake up to every day since 75 years? Defend?”
