🇬🇾🇻🇪 President of Guyana visited Essequibo and assured that he will not hand over "not one square inch" of that territory:

The president of Guyana, Mohamed Irfaan Ali, assured on the night of Friday, October 27, from Essequibo that he will not hand over "not a single inch" of that territory in dispute with Venezuela and expressed confidence in the security forces of that nation to protect it. .

"The government and the opposition recently issued a joint statement in which we made it very clear that no one would make a single mistake. This Essequibo is ours, every square centimeter of it," said Irfaan Ali, dressed in clothing similar to that worn by the military, during the opening of an exhibition in the town of Anna Regina.

Likewise, the president once again ruled out a meeting with the Venezuelan authorities to resolve the dispute over Essequibo and insisted on waiting for the International Court of Justice to ratify the 1899 Arbitration Award

🔶️ Elsewhere along the front, Israel has been carrying out raids. It's important to note that the evidence for specific raid areas is less reliable and is based on reports and satellite imagery."

— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 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.
