❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 About the main attack vectors of the Israeli Defense Forces ground forces as of 00.00 October 28, 2023
After conducting large-scale artillery and air preparations throughout the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces began active operations with ground forces.
▪️Although the Israelis say that no ground operation has yet been carried out, judging by the attack vectors, we are now talking about, at a minimum, a large-scale multiple raid from the northern, eastern and southern directions.
▪️According to statements by Palestinian groups, IDF tank units are trying to break through the perimeter of the Gaza Strip in the area of Beit Hanoun, Breij and Khan Yunis.
▪️In addition, rumors appeared about the participation of mixed special forces and landing groups from the IDF and the US Armed Forces. There was no news confirming the participation of American special forces in the operation by the Israelis or Americans. Messages are broadcast only by Palestinian sources, who, among other things, reported on the capture of several dozen paratroopers and special forces in the previous days (which, however, also did not receive confirmation).
🔻In general, such actions by the IDF can be called a sort of prologue to a full-fledged ground operation and, apparently, large-scale reconnaissance in force.
Based on the results of this raid, a decision will be made either to expand it to a ground operation, or to consolidate a certain status quo regarding the scale of military operations.
In addition, both the Israeli and American leadership will record the reaction of the pro-Iranian formations, which will have to raise the stakes and respond in some way, for example, with more intense shelling of American targets in Syria (there are already attacks on the Golan) and Iraq, and the launching of missiles from Yemen in Israel (already arrived in Eilat) and activation on the northern border with Lebanon.
❗️In many ways, the coming night will be decisive in the nature of combat operations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
