— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 22nd day of the war, October 28th, status update and major events:
— Due to a total blackout in Gaza, we basically know nothing. However, it is clear that today's airstrikes on the Gaza strip were extremely intense and unprecedented. Humanitarian situation is still terrible.
– IDF Spokesman Hagari repeated that Northern Gaza residents should immediately relocate South while they still can, and warned that 'intense hostilies' are to come.
– Sporadic rocket attacks from Gaza into central and Southern Israel, but nothing major. Most Israeli settlements near Gaza have been completely evacuated at this point, so casualties are unlikely.
– Since last night, Israeli tanks and mechanized infantry units have managed to advance about 100-200 meters into North and North-Eastern Gaza on the outskirts of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun. All reliable reports indicate that resistance is harsh, with Al-Qassam claiming that one of their fighters has single-handedly destroyed three IDF vehicles.
– Hezbollah targeted the IDF sites in Risha, Al-Jardah, Al-Abad, Al-Marj, Abu Dajjaj and Zarit with ATGMs, striking IDF troops and destroying enemy observation & surveillance equipment.
– As usual, the IDF shelled South Lebanon with artillery, and the IAF carried out targeted drone strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure.
– Netanyahu gave a speech, saying that this war is Israel's second war of independence. He also said that the 'second stage of the war' has now begun, which is focused on destroying Hamas' military capabilities.
– No actions involving Yemen or Iraq were recorded today. There were some reports that the Al-Omar oil field in Syria had come under attack, but no group has claimed responsibility so far.

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 ...
