Salfit Brigade (Martyr Omar Abu Leila Brigade):
—
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, "Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew.'
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.

The best of our fighters were able to set up a precise ambush near the town Al-Zawiya, the town of our martyr hero Omar Abu Leila. The fighters hit more than one vehicle with direct gunfire, causing injuries.
This is what the enemy has not admitted. The fighters managed to withdraw from the location.

We wish all the residents of the neighboring villages to erase all camera recordings, especially on the main streets.

We will remain the symbol of horror for your settlers.

Your brothers,
Salfit Brigade (Martyr Omar Abu Leila Brigade)

🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades:
—
"Victory is but an hour of patience, and Allah is our supporter"

Our fighters attacked the "israeli" occupation forces and their vehicles on several fronts during the past 48 hours. Among them:

• Our fighters targeted a troop carrier on Al-Nasr street with an RPG, leading to its destruction.

• A joint unit of Al-Aqsa Brigades and Saraya Al-Quds fighters attacked three armored vehicles as well as soldiers fortified in a building on the Sheikh Radwan axis (Third Street - Public Security) with anti-tank shells, individual, and medium weapons. Our fighters confirmed direct and fatal casualties in the enemy ranks.

• Our fighters are still waging street warfare with steadfastness and faith in victory until the last "israeli" >soldier is driven out of our sacred land.

Here is what we know about reports that the Israeli health ministry has said it will raid al-Shifa hospital “in minutes”:

Gaza’s health ministry spokesperson warned on Wednesday of a potential Israeli raid on the al-Shifa hospital complex, saying Israel informed Gaza health officials that its forces would raid the facility, Reuters reports.

The Israeli military, asked for comment, said it was looking into the matter.

The Gaza health ministry spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qidra, told Al Jazeera that Israel “informed us that it will raid Al Shifa hospital complex in the coming minutes.”

But he added: “The occupation did not specify whether (its forces) would enter the complex. But it said that within a few minutes it would raid the complex. We do not know how it will raid it or what mechanism will be used, nor do we know (Israel’s) intentions with the raid.”

Neither Reuters nor the Guardian have been able to independently confirm the situation at al-Shifa.

Israeli forces have surrounded al-Shifa, Gaza’s biggest hospital, after waging fierce street battles with Hamas fighters they accuse of having a command post under the complex, Reuters reports.

The US on Tuesday cited intelligence backing Israel’s assertion, which Hamas denies.

Rossa Palestina srsly listen to this beautiful song

Congrats the the dead dogs who will now lead a country from beyond the grave via an incestuous medium

So, what you folks think will happen to Argentina?

Total economical collapse and eventual return of Peronism. New Dictatorship. Milei realises he's fucked and resigns. Trotskyist Revolution. Milei changed completly and becomes a socdem to win support from China, Brazil, Chile and the Peronists.

Ukraine bridgehead story seems to be the big new thing, I know in the last week it was more ephemeral, any new analysis on what this means in the bigger picture? Is it just cope or could they potentially make something of this?

Bhadrakumar: India, US are on pathway to contain China

If the United States is a declining power and China’s rise inevitable in the Indo-Pacific; if Russia regards itself as a global power and is determined to bury the US-dominated rules-based order; if the defeat of the US and NATO in the Ukraine war has become a fait accompli; if Canada was encouraged by the US to fret and fume over alleged Indian involvement in Nijjar’s killing; if Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza is actually genocide — well, India’s policymakers haven’t heard any of this. That is the message coming out of the US-Indian 2+2 foreign and defence ministers meeting in New Delhi on November 10.

The big picture is that after audaciously claiming the mantle of leadership of the Global South as recently as in September, in a span of over two months, India is gliding over to the American camp as the US’ indispensable ally, even aspiring to be a “global defence hub” with Pentagon’s help.

The following were some of the takeaways at the 2+2 meeting:

Sharing technology relating to “maritime challenges, including in the undersea domain”; co-development and co-production of ground mobility systems; India to undertake US aircraft maintenance and mid-voyage repair of US naval vessels; US investment in India’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul of US aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles; finalisation of a Security of Supply Arrangement, which will deepen the integration of defence industrial ecosystems and strengthening of supply chain resilience; creation of new liaison positions between the two armed forces further to India’s full membership of the multinational Combined Maritime Forces, headquartered in Bahrain; Maximisation of the scope of the Logistics and Exchange Memorandum Agreement, and identify steps to enhance the reach of the US naval vessels to Indian bases.

No doubt, the above is only the tip of the iceberg, while this extraordinary transition in Indian policies will largely remain behind closed-doors. The US seems supremely confident that India is ready to enter into an exclusive alliance, something that New Delhi never sought with any big power. What is the offer that the Biden Administration has made to India that the latter cannot refuse?

Clearly, such a massive shift in India’s military policies needs to be co-related with the fundamental postulates of foreign policy. That said, curiously, call it “bipartisan consensus” or whatever, India’s main opposition party apparently couldn’t care less about the shift. This is not surprising. The shift is actually about a nascent India-US alliance to counter China — and that is a policy front where it is difficult to choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

To be sure, both Russia and China understand that Indian foreign policy is transitioning. But they pretend not to notice and would hope it is an aberration. At any rate, neither Russia nor China can stop India on its tracks. Their capacity to leverage Indian policies has dramatically shrunk — Moscow’s in particular — in the contemporary security environment.

The heart of the matter is that India is not ecstatic about the growing multipolarity in the world order. India is a beneficiary of the “rules-based order” and feels far more comfortable with a bipolar world order where multipolarity, if at all, remains a fringe phenomenon while the US’ pre-eminence will continue to prevail for decades to come. Such a paradigm is perceived as advantageous for India to navigate its pathway toward checking China’s hegemonic instincts while also optimally developing its own comprehensive national power. It is an ambitious agenda which is risky too, as policies change in Washington as presidents come and go and American interests get redefined and priorities change.

Today, however, the Indian willingness to align with the US is more evident than ever before. The animus against China’s rise was palpable at the 2+2 meeting. India has cast away any residual pretensions and is shifting toward an openly adversarial relationship with China. The QUAD has become an important locomotive. To be sure, a Chinese response can be expected — when or in what form, time will tell.
