🇺🇸🇮🇱 The IDF tells the Times of Israel it is concerned that Hamas might release more hostages, which might delay the ground invasion.

Our source in the OP said that Zaluzhny at headquarters suggested Zelensky switch to mobile defense and begin building a defensive line following the example of the enemy. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to hold the Russian army along the entire front unless the military strategy is now restructured. The Commander-in-Chief stated that on the Zaporozhye front one should be prepared for the loss of developed territories, since they are poorly fortified and are located in a vulnerable place.

“Battle for Avdiivka: losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdeevka
situation as of 13.00 October 24, 2023

Fighting continues around the Avdeevsky fortified area. After clearing the waste heap, Russian soldiers went on the defensive and consolidated in the occupied areas, while the enemy, on the contrary, pulled in reinforcements for a counterattack.

Due to heavy losses, at least one battalion of the 47th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was transferred to Ocheretino and Novobakhmutovka from the Orekhovsky site. Their forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to strike positions near the waste heap, but to no avail.

Similar enemy counterattacks were carried out by the coke plant in Avdeevka, as well as on Opytnoye and Pervomaisky. Ukrainian formations intended to occupy the gray zone, but by artillery strikes of the Russian Armed Forces they were forced back to their original positions.

Russian aviation and artillery continue to work on enemy lines. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are growing: according to sources, during a week of active fighting, the number of killed members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine alone exceeded 1 thousand people and 60 pieces of equipment.

There are losses on our side, too, but thanks to the chosen tactics of total destruction of the fortified area and subsequent clearing of the area, our command managed to reduce their number to a minimum.”

Video footage has been released of the capture of the “waste heap” in Avdeevka. This high ground is able to look directly over and into the coke plant which will make Russian approach much easier. Time now to move in EW assets and consolidated control.

This video also shows the sort of fortified base the hill was.

As a result of fierce and bloody battles, the Russian Armed Forces established control at the strategic height of Terrikon in the north of Avdiivka. There is panic in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They were never able to achieve such a lightning-fast result in their time in the Zaporozhye direction.

Israel will evaluate its relations with the UN after Guterres' statement today, the Israeli permanent representative to the organization said.

He accused the UN Secretary-General of justifying terrorism and called on him to apologize for his words or resign.

During a meeting of the UN Security Council, Guterres mentioned that the Hamas attack on Israel did not occur in isolation, stating, "the Palestinian people have endured a suffocating occupation for 56 years."

I agree that everything is fine here - especially the idiocy of American hacks. Within a few months they will write that “General Moroz helped the Russians again,” and their aquarium fish will not even remember this phrase:

The New York Times writes:

“The Ukrainian military plans to turn the coming winter into a weapon against Russia. Russians can literally get wet and freeze.”

Sabren posted a video of the strike on the occupied areas of the Golan Heights. Maybe they got it right this time.

Oh, really?

“Netanyahu got all the warnings — from his defense minister, from the chief of staff, from the head of intelligence, from the head of Shin Bet and from independent writers like me, like others — that this is weakening Israel deterrence and endangering Israeli national security.”

The journalist stumped Kirby with his question:

-Don't you think President Biden should play a role in achieving peace instead of saying he can handle two wars every time? Does it make a good impression when, instead of working on peaceful things, you have to fight two wars at the same time?'

"Since the beginning of this administration, we have been committed to creating a more integrated, collaborative, peaceful, stable and prosperous Middle East."

🐷☠️ They want to send a Ukrainian soldier from the Kyiv region, who was fitted with a prosthetic leg, to the front again.

According to his wife, the man was seriously wounded in the middle of this summer, after which he partially lost his leg. He was fitted with a prosthesis, but was left in the service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The woman is indignant that, according to the order of the Cabinet of Ministers, a person with an amputation is considered to be of limited fitness.
