๐ฑ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ท Iran-backed Hezbollah joining Israel-Hamas conflict would be a 'game changer'
๐ถ๏ธ An exchange of fire between Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and the armed forces in northern Israel signal that the conflict in Gaza could spread regionally.
๐ถ๏ธ With an Israeli ground incursion potentially imminent in the north of the Gaza Strip, the conflict could grow to involve other regional actors, including Hezbollah and potentially Iran, analysts say.
๐ถ๏ธ And if Hezbollah decides to join the conflict in neighboring Israel, "it will be nothing short of a game-changer," Firas Maksad, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, told CNBC on Wednesday.
๐ถ๏ธ "Hamas is but the weak underling of Hezbollah, a much more formidable fighting force and widely recognized as the most powerful nonstate military in the world," he added. "This will be a game-changer, not only for Israel, but also for the entire region."
๐ถ๏ธ On Friday, Hezbollah's deputy chief, Naim Qassem, said his party was "fully ready" to contribute to the fighting, according to Reuters. "The behind-the-scenes calls with us by great powers, Arab countries, envoys of the United Nations, directly and indirectly telling us not to interfere will have no effect," he said at a rally, according to a translation by the news agency.

๐ท๐บ๐๏ธ๐ต๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ Russia proposes UN Security Council resolution on Israel-Hamas conflict
Russia on Friday proposed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas conflict that calls for a humanitarian ceasefire and condemns violence against civilians and all acts of terrorism, according to a draft text seen by Reuters.
The draft resolution also calls for the release of hostages, humanitarian aid access and the safe evacuation of civilians in need. The text was given to the 15-member council during a closed-door meeting on the conflict on Friday, diplomats said.
A U.N. Security Council resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, Britain, France, China or Russia. The United States has traditionally shielded its ally Israel from any Security Council action.

๐บ๐ธ๐จ๐ณ US eyes weapons stockpiles as concern grows about supporting both Ukraine and Israelโs wars
Concern is growing within the Pentagon over the potential need to stretch its increasingly scarce ammunition stockpiles to support Ukraine and Israel in two separate wars, according to multiple US defense officials.
At the moment Ukraine and Israel require different weapons: Ukraine wants massive amounts of artillery ammunition while Israel has requested precision guided aerial munitions and Iron Dome interceptors.
But if Israel launches a ground incursion into Gaza, the Israeli military will create a new and entirely unexpected demand for 155mm artillery ammunition and other weapons at a time when the US and its allies and partners have been stretched thin from more than 18 months of fighting in Ukraine.

For comparison, during the air campaign against ISIS in 2014-19, the US-led coalition dropped 2,000-5,000 munitions per month across all of Iraq and Syria.
US monthly bomb drops only exceeded 4,000 during the 2017 destruction of Raqqa.

โ ๐ฎ๐ฑ/๐ต๐ธ/๐ฑ๐ง Seventh day of the war, October 13th, status update and major events:
โ Renlentless bombing campaign in Gaza continues; Israel drops leaflets asking residents of Gaza City to evacuate to areas in the south of the Gaza strip. Later on, Israel bombed a civilian convoy on a road that Israel promised not to target, resulting in at least 70 deaths.
โ All areas around the Gaza strip have been cleared of Hamas fighters, based on the evidence that is currently available. No more successful infiltrations were reported.
โ Iran's Foreign Minister met with the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.
โ Massive protests in support of Palestine were held around the world, particularly in Muslim nations such as Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Jordan.
โ The Israeli settlement of Metula near the Lebanese border was declared a closed military zone by the IDF.
โ Sporadic small rocket barrages against Israeli cities. Hamas also launched one long range Ayyash 250 missile into the direction of Haifa, which hit a chemical production plant.
โ Hezbollah announced that it targeted three Israeli settlements near the Lebanese border with armed fighters using small arms, and says it inflicted casualties upon the IDF.
โ In a response to the Hezbollah attack, the IDF fired artillery at South Lebanon, destroying one Lebanese army observation tower. In response to this, the Lebanese army fired artillery back at Israel.
โ Israeli artillery, or possibly a hellfire missile fired by an IAF attack helicopter, killed a Reuters journalist in South Lebanon and heavily injured three other journalists belonging to Al-Jazeera.
โ The IDF announced that it carried out drone strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Beyond being the moral thing to do, given the situational dynamics, itโs also just sound strategy. The Islamic World is rightly aflame in anger at the treatment of Palestinians and now has found a coalition partner which can advance its interests.
That American leadership seems incapable of understanding what the consequences of this will mean is simple astounding.
