⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 20 Jan 2024 by 20:24⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, most of #Krynki remains in the grey zone. Our forces' attempts to gain a foothold in the village have been unsuccessful so far. But they managed to push the AFU back to the bank and to the forest belt. A captured AFU said that sending them to the left bank was a punishment. When planning the operation they did not take into account the number of small islands, sand dunes and ground water, it is impossible to entrench. And taking into account the way ours "iron" the enemy with aviation and artillery, the chances of survival are minimal. By the way, Ukrainian resources claim that the floodgates of the dams in #Kremenchuk and #Dnepropetrovsk have recently been opened. Allegedly in this way the AFU want to flood the islands, simplifying the supply of the AFU on the right bank.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, without changes, there is an exchange of artillery strikes and drones are working closely.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, near #Staromayorskoye, the AFU tried to reinforce with reserves. Our army disrupted the rotation and cleared four strongholds. In the #Maryinka sector, our forces continue to suppress the activity of the AFU garrison in #Novomikhaylovka with TOS fire. On the southwestern side, our forces have retaken a number of other positions. A video has emerged of a strike on an important AFU defence hub, the South Donbasskaya-3 (YUD-3) mine near #Ugledar. The main thing is that the mine buildings survived and can continue to be used. And without the capture of the YUD-3 and YUD-1 mines, the assault on #Ugledar is fraught with heavy losses for us, as it already happened a year ago, when the firing points and observation posts at the mines were not suppressed during the offensive on the town.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, Ukrainian resources claim that our army has taken Tsarskaya Okhota and is reaching the outskirts of #Avdeyevka. According to my information, our military has really advanced well, taking major positions, but they have not yet entered the city itself. Our forces are levelling the front from the Industrial Zone.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, on the northern flank of the city, in #Bogdanovka our military raised the Russian flag. The village has not been cleared yet, but the AFU is withdrawing from the centre. The AFU garrison is standing at #Kalinovo, the village right by Chasov Yar. On the western front, near #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye), our forces have advanced, and 500-700m remain to storm the village. Its capture will also increase the pressure on Chasov Yar.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, after the successful advance at #Vesyoloye and #Belogorovka in the #Seversk sector, our forces are suppressing the enemy in the vicinity of #Spornoye. Our offensive is complicated by a serious AFU armoured group. Further north, in the direction of #Krasnyliman, the AFU is actively building fortifications on the right bank of the #Zherebets River, recognising that they have no forces to defend the bridgehead on the left bank near #Terny and #Yampolovka. Our army has so far achieved only tactical successes, but operational developments can be expected. In the #Kupyansk sector, our forces are attacking the AFU positions near #Tabayevka and #Krakhmalnoye from the direction of #Vladimirovka instead of the more fortified #Sinkovka and #Kislovka.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 20 January 2024⚡️

🔹In the north of the #Gaza Strip, Israeli aircraft continue to strike urban buildings: judging by the footage, during one of them the historic building of the Gaza municipality was significantly damaged.

🔹In the central part of the enclave, the pace of the offensive slowed down somewhat, and IDF units apparently concentrated on clearing the outskirts of Al-Brej, Al-Maghazi and Nuseirat.

🔹In Khan Yunis, the Israelis are still fighting in the areas of Jurat al-Lot and Botn al-Samin, while the situation at the Nasser medical complex is shrouded in the “fog of war”.

🔹Damascus in #Syria was again struck by the Israeli Air Force. This time the intelligence chief of the Al-Quds special forces of the IRGC in #Syria was killed, as well as his deputy and several other Iranian officers.

◾Video journalist Bisan Owda brings testimonies from survivors who described the Israeli army's torture and killing of wounded patients and doctors at the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza.

◾One of northern Gaza's largest hospitals, the facility was under siege for days in November and may never open again. While some patients in critical condition were allowed to evacuate the hospital, survivors recall torture even on the evacuation route. Israel has targeted more than 150 health care facilities in Gaza since Oct 7.

🇺🇸Biden's Middle East policy “is not going very well”
The US airstrikes against Yemen have not prevented rebel obstinacy from being curbed, assessed a 'Bloomberg' editorial.
But, despite the fact that the situation has worsened, Biden assured the media that the attacks against Arab civilization will continue.
According to Bloomberg, experts believe that “anyone who has followed the Houthis' tough resistance to years of Saudi military airstrikes — and their continued support from Iran — should have known that US and UK strikes against the group would have little impact.”
Due to the above, the media outlet considered that the return of the US Army in the Middle East “is not going very well.”
Thus, when Secretary of State Antony Blinken left Davos and his plane crashed on the runway, Bloomberg recalled, one observer mentioned that it was a metaphor for the damaged foreign policy of the United States in the Middle East.
On November 19, the Ansarollah movement proclaimed that it would attack any ship related to Israel, in response to Benjamin Netanyahu's incessant attacks against the Gaza Strip. Likewise, he urged other countries to remove their crews from these vessels and not to approach them at sea.
In response, on the night of January 11-12, Washington and London launched a wave of attacks against Houthi targets in four Yemeni governorates.
The attacks, which were supported by Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, targeted command posts, ammunition depots, launch systems, production facilities and air defense radars, and caused at least five dead and six wounded in the dissenting ranks.
In the following days, the US carried out other attacks against Houthi positions in Yemen. However, senior officials of the Ansarolá movement maintain that aggression by the US and its allies will not deter them from attacking ships linked to Israel while hostilities in the Gaza Strip continue.
