Sechster Nahostkrieg

[Schneemann]

So wie ich es verstehe hinsichtlich des Namer APC: Es war quasi eine Art Übersättigung - die erste Rakete wurde vom Trophy abgefangen, aber eine der nachfolgenden Raketen hat den Tank dann durchschlagen und im Inneren des Fahrzeuges eine dort von den Soldaten mitgeführte Matador getroffen, was mutmaßlich eine Folgeexplosion verursachte - im Fahrzeuginneren natürlich mit entsprechend verheerenden Folgen. Das scheint mir also ein Zufallstreffer in Kombination mit einer Übersättigung des Trophy plus unglücklicher Folgeexplosion gewesen zu sein...

Zum Durchbruch durch die "Linien" bei Khan Younis:

Israeli forces have breached Hamas "defense lines" in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, IDF spokesperson says

Israeli forces have breached Hamas "defense lines" in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, where the military has been involved in a fierce battle with Hamas militants since Tuesday, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said on Wednesday.

“Over the last 48 hours, these three divisions (98, 36, 162) along with another division in the east, are fighting with high intensity against terrorists. We have breached the defense lines of Jabalya, Shuja'iyya and the Khan Younis area,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during his daily press conference. It comes after the IDF said the Israeli military has begun carrying out raids against "Hamas strongholds" in the center of Khan Younis, the territory’s second-largest city. [...]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier on Wednesday said that the IDF forces have encircled the house of Hamas' leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. The IDF would not say where it believes Sinwar is, but that he was “underground.” Sinwar is originally from Khan Younis but it is unclear if he is currently there.

Anscheinend hat man wohl von der Idee der Flutung der Hamas-Tunnel Abstand genommen:

Flooding Hamas tunnels could harm Gaza’s freshwater for generations, warns academic

Experts call on defense establishment to carefully weigh environmental impacts of reported plan to flush terrorists out of vast underground network. [...]

Environmental experts called on the defense establishment Tuesday to carefully weigh the long-term environmental implications of reported plans to flood the immense network of tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater to flush the terrorists out.

Quoting US officials, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the Israeli army last month set up five large water pumps near the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, which are capable of flooding the tunnels within weeks by pumping thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into them. [...]

The enclave’s only sweet-water supply comes from a shallow aquifer running parallel to the Mediterranean coast. That has been so overpumped and the subterranean water levels have dropped so far that seawater has entered the aquifer and mixed with the little sweet-water that remains. [...]

Prof. (Emer.) Eilon Adar of the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in southern Israel, said that further potential ecological damage to Gaza’s aquifer by flooding the tunnels would depend on the quantity of water and the reach. [...] But if several million cubic meters were pumped into the tunnels, and seeped into the aquifer, “the negative impact on groundwater quality would last for several generations, depending on the amount that infiltrates into the subsurface,” he said.
