Latest Military Developments Of Gaza And Palestine, 4 November 2023 (Map)

On the 28th and 29th days of the fighting in Palestine, clashes between the Palestinian fighters and the Israeli army forces continued inside the Gaza Strip. During the last two days, there were no special changes or significant advances by the Israeli army. In fact, after the completion of the siege of Gaza City, which took place through the low-density and non-urban areas south of Al-Zaytoun area in the south of Gaza City, now the focus of the conflicts is more towards urban battles; where the army of the Israeli regime is struggling with many difficulties.

The Zionist army is very dependent on heavy air cover and tanks and armored vehicles to avoid human casualties and advance in the urban warfare. This is not a bad tactic, but when the opposing forces are highly prepared in terms of guerilla warfare tactics and fight for their survival with ideological thoughts, the battles will be very difficult. This issue can be seen clearly in the battles of the last two days. By using unique tactics and using tunnels, the Palestinian fighters have always surprised the infantry and armored units of the enemy and inflicted high casualties on Israeli occupying forces. Only in the last 48 hours, 24 Israeli military vehicles, including tanks, personnel carriers and bulldozers, were targeted in the battles of Gaza City. The number of casualties of Israeli forces is also unknown.

In the field, urban clashes are currently ongoing in Beit Hanoun, in Al-Tawam, Al-Karamah, Sheikh Rizwan and near Al-Shati camp.

The heavy bombing of different areas of the Gaza Strip continues. The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of martyrs in Gaza has increased to more than 9,500, of which more than 3,900 are children. Also, more than 30,000 people have been injured.

On the northern front, artillery and missile attacks continue between Hezbollah and Israel, and no specific changes have been made in the front lines. Two days ago, Hezbollah unveiled its suicide drones in this war for the first time. Today, in response to the continued attacks of the Israeli regime’s fighter jets on southern Lebanon, Hezbollah used Burkan heavy rockets for the first time since the beginning of the conflict. Hezbollah targeted the Israeli positions in the Jal al-Alam border base located in the north of Ras al-Naqourah using Burkan rockets.

On Saturday, Yoav Gallant, Minister of War of the Zionist regime, visited the northern borders of occupied Palestine with Lebanon and the headquarters of the 46th division of the Israeli army. During this visit, he stated that Israel is on the defensive in the northern front and does not want to fight in the north and is focusing on Gaza. But he threatened Hezbollah that in case of an all-out war, there is full preparation to respond.
