Warlog carnage for NOV 1, 2023::

Israel's advances in Gaza continue along three main routes of attack, now pushing through built up areas along the coast north of Gaza City. They've also entered Beit Hanoun from the northeast following intense clashes.

The most notable movement is south of the city of Gaza where the #IDF have crossed the Salah Al Deen Road and are progressing towards the coastline.

THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR

Last night was the most intense to date. 9 continuous surreal hours of bombing, artillery strikes, tank fire, heavy machine gun fire, smoke, flares, and the sounds of buildings crumbling. You could practically taste the matter. The sounds were like a fierce WWII battle straight out of a movie. Around 15 IDF soldiers were killed last night/morning, so far.

Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp is supposedly struck again.

First Details Of Hamas New Submarine Drone Weapon

Hamas has shown a promotional video of its ‘Al-Asef’ guided ‘torpedo’. The locally produced weapon has reportedly been used against multiple Israeli targets. This gives us our first look at this type of weapon in service with Hamas.

Little information about the weapon has been shared by Hamas. However analysis of the imagery reveals several details.

It appears to be a basic semi-submerging uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV). The nose appears to feature a rudimentary impact fuse for a modest sized explosive warhead. It is guided by a go-pro style camera which is mounted near to the body. This suggests only very shallow diving during the attack, more of a semi-submersible than a true underwater vehicle.

Israeli Navy Sa'ar 5-class corvette deployed to the northern Red Sea on NOV 01, after Houthi forces in Yemen fired missiles & drones toward Israel's resort city of Eilat.



Israel's newest class is the Sa'ar 6-class corvette, (German-made) which they have 4, with 3 currently operating in the Med.
