The next hostilities. And, as can be seen in these shots of the Israel Defense forces, at night the military in tanks crossed the border with the gaza strip in order to destroy the positions of hamas. The raid lasted several hours, without any losses among the israeli military, more in the next material. Israels Prime Minister said in a televised speech that Israeli Forces are still preparing for a ground operation in gaza, but did not specify any time frame. We water hamas hellfire we have already killed thousands of terrorists and this is just the beginning. At the same time, we are preparing for a ground assault, but we will not reveal when, under what circumstances and with what number. Overnight, the israeli army announced that it had carried out a targeted raid in the northern part of the gaza strip. This is part of the preparations for the next stages of hostilities. Military sources say that fighting took place there, after which the soldiers withdrew from the gas. Meanwhile , israels bombing of gaza continues, according to reports. Meon are the most intense strikes in the last 24 hours resulting in deaths hundreds of people the qatari News Network Al Jazeera reported that the entire family of its correspondent was killed in a rocket attack on a refugee camp in gaza. In addition, the un reported that their reserves of gas fuel were almost exhausted and that they had begun to scale back their humanitarian operations. Hospitals stopped all but the most urgent operations. According to un warnings, more and more hospitals and shelters will be forced to close. The World Health Organization has declared that there is no fuel for children in incubators, which are in need of life necessary support, will simply have to die, stressing that they need constant and safe access, otherwise there will be more suffering and death in the gas. Electricity is required for patient treatment, surgery, incubators and dialysis machines. So we need fuel, fuel is also needed for water desalination so that hospitals have clean water, clean water is important in hospitals to keep patients safe and provide them with medical services. At the same time, the World Health Organization called on hamas to free everyone hostages they kidnapped from israel for humanitarian and medical reasons, she points out that many of the hostages have chronic illnesses. There are now many calls for a humanitarian pause in the fighting, which would allow more humanitarian aid to be delivered, but for now the war is unrelenting. Returning to the Israel Defense forces raid, what did it achieve, did it bring israels offensive against hamas in gaza closer, security expert, patrick bury, further. This operation seemed to me to be at the level of a company, or a squadron, at least thats how it looked at the base images, 812, maximum 16 tanks entered there. The israelis were probably most concerned about whether they could bring in tanks, how heavily and everywhere the area is mined, what antitank capabilities hamas has, and as far as we know, they havent lost a single tank. So, it looks like the operation was relatively successful, they managed to penetrate some distance into the northern gas, and then retreated. It is obvious. Was gathering information. It is also worth remembering that in the israeli army there are many reservists who do not have combat experience, and this is also a certain effective way to increase combat skills, morale, combat readiness and fighting capacity of the army. There is also, i think, a symbolic element from the point of view that it was important for netanyahu to show that something was being done after the intelligence failure. In general, the next phase has begun the day before, there was a question as to why israel was postponing the ground operation, there were many factors behind it , international and purely military, but this is a new phase, and i think that potentially there will be more and more such operations. The israelis will push it forward. The authorities of the gaza strip headed by the group hamas reported that the number of palestinians who died as a result of israeli airstrikes exceeded 700, including almost 3,000 children. In israel , more than 10,400 people died in an attack by hamas militants on october 7. According to the israeli authorities, hamas receives a sektoriga for more than 200. 20 hostages. In total, hamas has already released four people, the militants released two us citizens and two more elderly israeli women, but almost 50 hostages died in gas attacks. This was reported by hamas sources. The bbc cannot verify or confirm these numbers. And israels ambassador to the un, gelatherdan , called hamas the new nazis at an emergency session of the General Assembly and said israels task of eradicating hamas is getting worse. Land there are no words in the english language, and no words in any language, to describe the evil we have just encountered. And the reason that it is indescribable is that it has no place among people. More than 1,400 people were killed, thousands were wounded, and more than 220 hostages are now being held by hamas and deal terrorists. Say. What for israel, the equivalent of september 11 will be an understatement, if taken proportionally, the number of deaths is 15 times higher than on september 11, and by the way, our enemies are not 700 km away, but 700 steps in our backyard. And therefore the task of israel is to eradicate this evil from the face of the earth, to eradicate it. Idil was an Islamic State in iraq and syria, and hamas is an Islamic State in gaza. So, as it was with idil, hamas must be destroyed. Our goal is to completely destroy the power of hamas, not for revenge, no, not for repulsion, no, but in order to the atrocities never happened again. Israel is on the front lines of the war against the terror of radical jihadism, and if israel fails to destroy hamass terrorist capabilities, the whole world will pay. The genocidal ideology of hamas, dostotokil, al qaeda or the ayatollah regime in tehran is not only to destroy israel, you will see it, because after all it is about world domination, they plan to bring. They will not stop until they kill all the infidels, as they call us. Colleagues the past 16 years have been International Community and the un have turned a blind eye to the development of the hamas terror network, which has embedded its rockets deep under the civilian infrastructure of the gaza strip. They agreed with the absurd. Thinking that a lawabiding democracy can exist alongside a cancerous tumor of genocidal terrorism that fires tens of thousands of missiles at our civilians. We see that nothing can change the genocidal ideology of hamas. And in his speech at an emergency session of the General Assembly, the Palestinian Ambassador to the un riad mansour called on the world to help stop the bombs and added nothing can to justify murder. No palestinian child. More than 2,500 children were among the dead due to israeli airstrikes on gas. The following is from bbc special correspondent fergel keane. I warn you, it shocks from the very first frames. What the war wants to take away, they try with all their might to save. Young life, yazama alaydi. An adults hand on a childs heart, but to no avail, and this boy survived an airstrike in which, according to doctors at alnasr hospital, 166 people died, the child asks if his relatives are alive . According to the ministry of health, gaza, of the 600 dead, about 40 were children. Sheriff alcras arrived with his wounded son, on camera he asked what the children were guilty of, did they kidnap and kill them. There are other wounds, from the fact that the war takes away the dearest from children, give me back my mother, father, sister, here is my brother, salma is nine years old. My sister was bleeding from the head, my mother was crushed by stones. Dima alyamdani mourns her parents and seven brothers. And sisters, this is another daughter of the alamdani family, and a son. Survivors of previous wars watch as the Younger Generation inherits the devastation. Israel claims to destroy only those who have brought terror to his land. The leadership of the un condemned the israeli bombing of Southern Gaza and. hamas use of civilians as human shields. Death can come out of thin air at any moment. It was khan younis in the Southern Gaza strip. The day before, in the middle of the day, this place was filmed by a bbc journalist. The war displaced 1,400 people. In the tent. Cleanly, some residents continue to fight for dignity. It is cold at night and there are not enough blankets, we sleep on dirt, the children are all sick, where are our rights children, where are our human rights . Childhood fun and friendship. They grab everything they can because they know how quickly everything can be lost. The middle east conflict caused disagreements between the eu countries, whose leaders gathered for a summit in brussels. About the essence of sofia betitsas controversy. Children of a common position will be quite difficult, given what we have seen in the last few weeks, namely, conflicting messages, confusing, disparate statements from different leaders, but now the european leaders who have arrived here in brussels will have to speak as one. Front, they are expected to call for humanitarian gas pauses, as they say the top priority today is to find ways to deliver eu aid to the gas sector, which can only be done under humanitarian pauses that allow water, fuel and supply medical aid in the gas, but there are deep divisions within the eu, the Prime Minister of hungary, viktor orban, said that the issue of the humanitarian pause. Is very debatable and he expects long negotiations with various european leaders who have opposite views so we see a rather large split and division of European Countries into two camps. Countries such as germany, austria, the Czech Republic and hungary take a strong proisrael position. Whereas other countries like spain, ireland and portugal are more aligned with the palestinian cause, and today is a really good example of that. Because in recent days here in brussels there has been a debate about whether to call for a humanitarian pause or multiple pauses. Countries such as germany oppose the idea of humanitarianism pauses because they believe it is too similar to a humanitarian ceasefire, which they believe will be seen as limiting israels right to selfdefense, and therefore favor humanitarian pauses in the plural. It is believed that these will be. Short breaks in the fighting, just a few hours to deliver humanitarian aid. As you know, the European Union represents 27 countries and each of them has its own political view on the israelipalestinian conflict. So, it will be very difficult to reach an agreement, frankly, but the diplomats are here in brussels emphasize that the eu is based on compromises and was born as a european peace project. So there is hope that as a result of the discussions of the conflict in the middle east behind closed doors, an agreement will be reached. Thats all for today, take care.

Topic of the week, if , god forbid, Tactical Nuclear weapons are used against ukraine, it will definitely change the world. Stories, issues, analysis and personalities. John herbst, the former ambassador of the United States to ukraine, is waiting for us. Good afternoon, if you have any questions, you will get answers, interesting questions too, worth looking into, sportnikov veresen, every friday at 21 15 at espresso. I welcome you, this is svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur, in the next hour we will discuss the main the events of the day, and the obvious trends of the week. The European Union is supposed to deliver 1 million ammunition to ukraine by march 2024, but as the Bloomberg Agency found out, the eu is significantly behind schedule and has handed over only 30 of the ammunition. At the same time, next year, the russian plant. Will produce 2 million cartridges, and moscow received supplies of shells from north korea. How will all this affect the front . We will talk about this soon. The us house of representatives elected a new speaker, mike johnson, a critic of military aid to ukraine and a supporter of donald trump. After being elected to the position, he declared that he would agree to help ukraine under certain conditions. What are the conditions, lets talk, well, about the situation at the front, lets talk with a serviceman from the bakhmut direction, literally. In a minute youre free to like, like this broadcast, were about to start. Well, lets start, as i already said, from the front, now we will talk in more detail about what is happening in the bakhmut direction, the general staff declares that the ukrainian Defense Forces continue their assault on southern bakhmut, what is the actual situation, oleg joins the broadcast kalashnikov, captain, head of the press service of the 26th Artillery Brigade named after general khorundzhy romand. Good evening, good evening, what is the situation in the bakhmut direction, you know, all this week we paid more attention, attention to the avdiiv direction, and meanwhile what is happening on the approaches to bakhmu . Yes, the avdiiv direction is really hot today, but it must be said that the bakhmut direction is also not inferior. Constant actions continue, here the enemy is trying to counterattack as in the north, and of course, the location is most like this, now it is in south of us here we know that we called kleshiivka already a month ago, andriivka, we are already continuing our battles for zelenopillaka. Dumyvka, however, the enemy is constantly trying to counterattack us, we are advancing, we are advancing literally a few meters, but still we are liberating our territory, and it should be noted that really we, you said there for the shells, really, at the enemy, i want to say about the russians, they really have problems with shells too, but in our bahamud direction, they have them in abundance, i. E. Artillery constant. Shelling our positions continue, continuously, one might say, here he does not spare them , and of course he does not spare his personnel either, who launch attacks one by one, he loses them and replenishes them again and again, that is, the battles here are quite so difficult and it is not easy in our direction, but tell me, please, has the situation in the avdiivka direction somehow affected the situation that you have, here you are in the bakhmutsk. Direction, because near avdiivka, as i understand it, the last month was thrown a lot of reserves, equipment, forces, we can only assume that this equipment was removed from some directions, or perhaps some other consequences, the aggravation near avdiivka, was not enough for you either, well, today the reserves are used by the general staff according to its principle, that is, those reserves that are now attacking avdiivka, they and do not plan at first. For the bakhmut direction, so here he continues to replenish his losses, he propagates, continues to be partially mobilized, directly both by the russians themselves and those mobilized in the temporarily occupied territories, this is the lnpr, also here we can observe his units, this is a zstorm, when some lose their fighting capacity, new ones appear, and of course he tries to directly replenish those of his. Contract units that are here now, they are like infantry units, contractors, it is like the infantry units of his territorial troops, we can also observe their elite here, these are regiments directly of his airborne troops, that is, we can say that he still finds our direction, and he finds no, for no at the expense of avdiivskyi, the forces are being directed here in a different way, we can observe for quite a long time that those units that have lost their combat capability somewhere in other directions can rush directly in our direction, they are being restored, replenished with personnel, as far as possible, they have they are replenished directly with equipment, armored vehicles, and we can observe them already in our direction, they are already fighting here, and can you outline now what their plan is . Plans, i mean the russian army for the winter until the end year in relation to bakhmut, the bakhmut direction, are they just holding the defense there, or do they have a goal to reach some certain boundaries . Of course, they have a goal not just to keep the defense, they have a goal to try to further seize our land, right here in the bakhmut direction, they would very much like to restore their positions in the south, but they understand. That today it is too difficult for them, so they are preparing their new defensive line, it is above the track 0. 513, it is a bullseye, we can observe that they are there, digging a trench, making fire points, this is a deselen point there, if you take it that way, there is a survey, odarivka, mykolaivka two, it is here that they make their defensive line, at the crossroads where you go back from horlivka. The road goes away, they make a company stronghold, that is, they completely dig in there , and of course, this is their usual practice, they mine, mine a lot of our territory, which is directly now going to their defensive perimeters, it is on the road horlivka, bakhmut, that is, today they are simply preparing to continue to hold the defense. Although they are constantly trying to counterattack us in order to prevent us from advancing, lying down, please tell me how the situation can change in your direction if the Russian Forces are will gain control over avdiivka, yesterday there was already information that they are probably trying to take control of this highest point , terekon, in the avdiivka direction, and if this happens, how can it affect you in any way, are these two Different Directions and they , one does not depend on the other, well, i would like to say that in general the front line, even though we have it it is also very long, but it should be noted. That, no matter what, what happens, if in one area, then in another, it can still have its response, well, that is, how is it a wave is happening, i cant say of course what plans we have with the russian command, but no matter how the events in the avdiiv direction turn out, they will still be somehow, must be, there will be some kind of echo in our bakhmudsky , for today i am. Ready to answer, of course, to answer how it will be, maybe they will want to try to increase the pressure in our direction again, but we will see what will happen with their reserves, what will happen with their forces, what events will take place in general in the southern part of our front, this is all interconnected, but tell me please, do you generally predict any drastic changes on the front, on the bakhmutsky or in general not in any other eastern areas by the end of the year, or is everything going to the point that the fighting will, well, one way or another stop in the winter, maybe an acute phase of the fighting , the battles will continue, they will continue, but last year we also heard that the fighting may stop for the winter, there may be a pause, there will be no pause, if there is a pause, but if we have a pause of the armed forces of ukraine, we will stop, which means that we give the enemy the opportunity to try to intercept and at the front, there will be no such thing, that is, calling our territory, we will be in any weather conditions , at any time of the year at any time of the day, which we usually do, of course there may be some changes, those that we do not can predict, but still we will try advance and liberate our territory, the war is completely on pause in this case, well, it cannot happen, at least the same artillery, duels will take place, the enemy will also try to use his aviation and fabs on the front line, he will also try fire at us with their missiles, in this case we must move forward, we must keep the initiative in our hands to prevent the enemy from reflecting on our events, and not the other way around, he cannot dictate his conditions to us, we must dictate conditions, conducting the battle, conducting it tactical actions, management of the operational situation, so that we still have an advantage, and now specifically, on whose side is the initiative and who dictates the conditions, that is, in the direction of bakhmut . Today we definitely have us , whatever it may be, it started with us somewhere, lets say, from the month of may, where we are, when we had an active defense, the enemy thought that we were, so to speak, in blind defense, that is, we do not have the strength to move here, he relaxed somewhat, but we proved that our active defense gradually began to move in such a counteroffensive of ours, we still found a weak spot in him, we began to liberate the southern flank near bakhmut, and this initiative is constantly in our hands now, he is forced to simply react to our actions. He cannot force us to react to his actions, and the one who reacts to someone elses actions, he is in a less favorable situation, in this case we dictate our terms to him. And how numerically superior the russian army is in the bakhmutsky direction, i remember now, when the wagnerites were still concentrated there, this there was a multiple preponderance of Russian Military units, which now, well, i wont tell you, of course in number. How much it prevails, because i wont tell you the number of our group that is here, i can say that there are quite a lot of i would also like to point out that, without mentioning the numbers, i can point out that we are on the offensive, we know this directive that the one who defends himself must be
