🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Israel-Gaza Conflict: May 4-5 (Recap)

1️⃣ There is no sign of any progress in the critical truce and prisoner exchange negotiations in Egypt, with Hamas and Israel refusing to back away from their core demands.

2️⃣ The UN says “Full-blown famine” has engulfed northern Gaza and is spreading south as Israel continues to limit the amount of food aid getting into the war-battered territory.

3️⃣ Hamas warns Israel that a ground invasion of southern Rafah won’t be a “walk in the park” as Israeli officials insist the attack will happen regardless of whether a ceasefire deal gets done.

4️⃣ Students in the US and Europe are continuing protests against the war in Gaza, with sit-ins reported at the University of Southern California (USC), the University College London in the United Kingdom and the Lausanne University in Switzerland.

5️⃣ Israeli forces killed five Palestinians during a raid on the village of Deir al-Ghusun in the occupied West Bank. They also stormed the village of Baqat al-Hatab in Qalqilya and the towns of Jamma’in and Beita in the Nablus Governorate.

6️⃣ The Emirati news website, Forsan, is reporting that Egyptian and Emirati air forces have dropped 82 tonnes of food and relief aid in northern Gaza. Two C-17 planes from the UAE air force and two C-295 Egyptian air force planes were involved in the 46th airdrop of humanitarian and relief aid into the territory.

7️⃣ Police in riot gear have arrested 25 people and used pepper spray as they broke up a student encampment at the University of Virginia (UVA) in the US city of Charlottesville.

At least 34,654 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 77,908 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

Hezbollah Attacks Three Israeli Army Border Sites

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 5 May 2024; pub. 06:58📍

🔹The RFAF retain the initiative and conduct successfully tactical offensives in a number of directions. Events are developing rapidly in the #Pokrovskoye direction - our flag has been planted in #Arkhangelskoye near #Ocheretino and flanking strikes by our units are ongoing, which level the frontline.

🔹In the #SouthDonetsk direction, after protracted fighting, the RFAF stormed the Refractory Plant in #Krasnogorovka. There is a battle for #Georgiyevka, and attacks are being launched from #Novomikhaylovka on #Paraskoviyevka. In #Vremyevka sector, our troops entered #Urozhaynoye.

🔹There are heavy battles for #Rabotino, #ChasovYar and #Kislovka.

🔹The Enemy experiences a personnel shortage along the entire front, the training level of Ukrainian soldiers thrown into battle is falling, they are transferred to the most difficult areas from other parts of the front, reducing the defensive capabilities. At the same time, the enemy is still able to conduct an organised defence and skillfully hold back our advance. A special danger is posed by enemy drones, which, due to relay systems and their number, hit multiple targets at a depth of up to 30 km.

🔹#NATO is intensifying the production of antiaircraft systems and guided missiles: Russian FABs with UMPC and missile weapons are being used more often every day, and supplies to the troops are increasing. Our military pilots report the depletion of the AFU's air defence in a number of directions, allowing them to conduct combat missions more freely.

🔹After the allocation of a multibillion dollar aid package by the #US, the Western media increasingly hear explanations about the difficulties and the time required to deliver weapons and equipment to #Ukraine. At the same time, the same artillery strikes with cluster munitions of #NATO calibre are constantly being carried out by the AFU, which indicates that the enemy retains barrel artillery and ammunition for it. In the hope of stopping the offensive of our troops, the AFU lost at least one more #US Abrams in defensive battles during the week, despite instructions from the #US not to allow any more losses of this equipment.

🔹Mobilisation in #Ukraine is tightening. TCCs (military commissions) have been allocated quotas to take people from defence and socially important enterprises where people previously had reservations from the front. Cadets in the 2nd-5th years of one of the military universities were also sent to the war zone this week under the legend of field training. TCC officers are now on duty at mobile police posts in cities, and #Ukraine's leadership is taking practical measures to restrict the rights of Ukrainian citizens abroad to ensure their return to the country. However, #Ukraine's mobilisation potential is still estimated at several million people, although further forcibly sending people to the front will only increase social tensions and take workers out of the dying economy.

🔹The Enemy launches daily drone and artillery strikes on "old" Russian regions, and periodically tries to hit air defence positioning areas in #Crimea, naming the Crimean bridge among its main targets in the future.

🔹In #Russia, many processes have come to a standstill in the run-up to the inauguration of the Supreme Leader and Victory Day. News about the arrested Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov has died down, and there have been no significant positive changes in the military bureaucracy.

🔹#Ukraine expects an offensive of the RFAF on #Kharkov and #Sumy regions, estimating the offensive potential of our Army in the direction of 35-70 thousand people, which is not enough to storm major cities. The announcement by the Russian Interior Ministry that Zelensky, Poroshenko and a couple of Kiev functionaries are on the wanted list is significant, which indicates probable plans after 20 May 2024 to stop recognising the Kiev Regime as legitimate with all the ensuing consequences.

Produced by Jon Herold of Badlands Media and Adam Riva of Dauntless Dialogue, Time of Deceit dials into the lesser known history of the mainstream media and its unholy marriage with the U.S. Security State and Intelligence Community. The legacy media institutions can accurately be described as the propaganda arms of the State, and we bring the receipts.
