— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇮🇶/🇸🇾 17th day of the war, October 23rd status update and major events:
– Heavy airstrikes on Gaza at night. Still a huge lack of food, water, medicine and electricity. Hospitals are expected to be out of power within 48 hrs.

– The amount of officially announced Hezbollah martyrs has risen to 32.
– As a response to Hezbollah attacks, the IDF carried out artillery shellings, drone strikes and airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, but much less than previous days.

– IRGC-affiliated planes started using Khmeimim airbase in Syria for the first time.

A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
