🇬🇧 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 U.K. Defense Officials have told the BBC that they are considering the Deployment of British Ground Troops into Central Gaza to assist in the Transport and Distribution of Humanitarian Aid from the U.S. Army’s Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore (JLOTS) Floating Dock and the Temporary Jetty being Constructed by the Israel Defense Force; the Soldiers would be used to Drive Trucks filled with Humanitarian Aid from the Floating Dock to the Shore, and would not be utilized in a Combat Role.

📝 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 It would seem that Netanyahu has accelerated the Rafah timeline due to mounting domestic & international pressure.

🔶️ Much like the initial ground incursion into Gaza, the implementation of the Rafah offensive is somewhat haphazard. The 98th Division is still reforming itself while the 162nd division may find itself committed with fewer support units.

🔶️ The College protests, Israeli protests, prolonged blockade of Israeli ports, collapse of tourism, lack of laborers due to reservist call-ups, general war weariness and Israeli ministers infighting while making careless mistakes seems to be taking it's toll.

🔶️ Russian troops are consolidating the success achieved after the liberation of Ocheretyne, Semyonovka and the advance in Novokalinove.

🔶️ On the western outskirts of Berdychi, servicemen of the 74th Independent Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces installed the battle flag of the Mad Dogs unit on a destroyed building.

🔶️ According to the latest information, Novokalinove has also fallen under the control of Russian forces. At the moment, there is a mopping up of pockets of resistance by dispersed enemy groups.

🔶️ In adjoining Keramik, Russian Armed Forces assault squads have gained a foothold on the eastern outskirts of the village, as even Ukrainian resources confirm. There are counter battles in the settlement. After complete clearing of Novokalinove, the retreat of the AFU from Keramik will be a matter of time because of the geographical location of the village in the lowlands.
