We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇾🇪 13th day of the war, October 19th, status update and major events:
– Airstrikes on Gaza throughout the entire day, still a huge lack of food, water, medicine and electricity.
– An Israeli airstrike nearly entirely destroyed the Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza, where civilians were taking shelter.
– Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells his troops: 'The order will come, you will see Gaza from the inside'.
– United States issued a 'worldwide caution' travel alert, due to possible hostility against Americans around the world in light of recent events.
– As of today, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom have called on their citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible.
– U.S. Bases in Syria and Iraq came under rocket fire from Iraqi Shiite militias.
– Kann announced that Israel will be evacuating its embassies in Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Turkey.
– A U.S. Navy ship intercepted 3 missiles that were fired from Yemen, presumably headed towards Israel. It is widely speculated that the missiles were fired by the Iranian-backed Houthis.
– Throughout the entire day, Hezbollah carried out attacks against IDF targets across the border. ATGMs were used against Israeli tanks and radar sites, and small arms were used to destroy surveillance equipment.
– In response to these attacks, the IDF fired artillery into South Lebanon at various times during the day and carried out drone strikes against Hezbollah. The IDF also started shooting at a mixed Iranian-Lebanese film crew who approached the Israeli border, resulting in one dead Lebanese journalist, and one journalist critically injured.
– Unusual amounts of Iranian LRBM launchers of the IRGC Aerospace Force were seen moving on the Tehran-Qom highway.

By comparison, ISIS destroyed dozens of churches.
How is this okay?

— Hypothetically, if the U.S. wanted to carry out a naval landing in Iran, they would do it somewhere outside the Persian Gulf, most likely Chabahar or somewhere else in the flat open coasts of Sistan-Balochistan Province.
That way, they don’t need to risk their ships entering the Persian Gulf under heavy anti-ship fire and incoming drones while trying to land their soldiers on a rugged coastline full of fortified positions and artillery emplacements.
In Chabahar, they could bring their ships close enough to the shore with relative safety, under heavy air cover. U.S. jets, drones, and attack helicopters would suppress any anti-ship batteries heavily, and create sufficiently safe conditions for the initial ‘landing’. One also cannot rule out the possibility of deploying U.S. airborne forces to secure key sites before an amphibious landing is attempted.
This might be coupled with increased Balochi terrorist activity across the Iranian rear lines, complicating logistics and the transfer of ...
