◾Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf says he doesn't know if his family is alive or dead in Gaza, as it remains under a communications blackout:

- "We are desperately worried, and to be frank, we don't know if they are alive or dead.

- "That's the reality facing many people across the world who haven't heard from their loved ones who are trapped in Gaza and have been facing bombardment over the last three weeks."

- "My wife is numb, I'm trying to do my best to give her some hope and keep ourselves distracted, we are trying to call as many relatives as we can across Gaza with no luck.

-"This morning I listened to my four-year-old daughter pretending she was to phone her granny, and asking when she will come back."

⚡️🇵🇸 Under the cover of war: These are the Palestinian communities that were attacked by Israeli settlers between Oct. 7-22. Settlers have attacked Palestinians in more than 100 incidents in at least 62 towns and villages in the West Bank, at times accompanied by soldiers.

🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Has Israel Committed War Crimes in Gaza? 🌍💔

As Israeli PM Netanyahu speaks of the official start of a massive ground offensive in Gaza and with the death toll of Palestinian men, women but a lot of children rising amidst a brutal and indiscriminate bombardment, a weary world demands a ceasefire.

It certainly feels like Israel has long surpassed the point of justifiable right to self-defence and we continue to move to another human rights and international norm of Responsibility-to-Protect (R2P) or does that only come into play when the US and NATO wish to devastate countries like Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya?

As the picture chillingly alludes to, how does Israel and its US patron justify with a straight face the deaths of over 3,000 Palestinian children? Where is the purported moral authority? All I see is contempt for human life.

As the Turks write, since October 1, Russian aircraft and air defense systems have shot down 31 aircraft and 3 helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force. This week saw an incredible increase of 24 aircraft in five days. There are two main reasons for this.

First, Russia is using A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft to fly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and expanding its air defense radar horizon.

Thanks to the radar horizon of the A-50, the S-300, S-350 and S-400 air defense systems were able to shoot down aircraft flying at an altitude of 1000 meters, at a distance of more than 50 kilometers, which are usually below the radar horizon.

Another reason is that Russia has begun to increase its air patrols using Su-57 fighter jets over and around Ukraine.

Ukrainian pilots say that due to their high speed and stealth, they were shot down suddenly, without warning that the radar was captured.
It notes that by increasing its air dominance and using its new 5th generation aircraft and new air-to-air missiles, Russia has begun to act in ways that threaten NATO and claims to have put an end to NATO's dreams of absolute air superiority.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicle of a special military operation
for October 28, 2023

Large-scale artillery duels are taking place in the vicinity of Avdeevka . The enemy, with the support of aviation, is launching massive attacks on Russian positions near the previously occupied waste heap. The Russian Aerospace Forces, in turn, are covering the Avdeevsky coke plant, which is adjacent to the waste heap a little to the south, with fire. Colleagues from the NgP RaZVedka channel report that at night the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine evacuated headquarters from Avdievka in anticipation of active actions by the Russian Armed Forces.

In the Kherson direction, Russian military personnel managed to intercept another boat with a Ukrainian landing force in the Dach area. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also launched another foray towards Peschanivka , but were unsuccessful. At the same time, the enemy continues to hold a small bridgehead in Krynki .

In the Orekhovsky sector, Ukrainian formations attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces somewhat west of Rabotino , but retreated under artillery fire. Fighting also continues near Verbovoy , where Russian fighters managed to destroy at least three Leopards in one day.

In Avdeevka: information has been confirmed that our people are seen in the city.

And this is good news: it’s easier on the asphalt for both people and equipment.

It’s also worth taking into account the decline in morale of the Ukrainian garrison of the city: every meter we travel in the Avdeevka direction tightens the ring... at the Armed Forces of Ukraine

◾This abuse of three Palestinians came at the hands of soldiers from an IDF unit of "hilltop youth" accompanied by settlers and lasted almost a full day. The soldiers and settlers also arrested leftist Israeli activists who were present, including a minor, cuffed them, threatened to kill them, and detained them for hours:

- They poured water on us, urinated on us, and then someone holding a stick tried to shove it up my rear." "He then beat me all over my body, stomped my head with both feet and jumped on my back, in an attempt to break my spine."

◾Since the October 7 massacre by Hamas, Israeli settler pogroms against Palestinians have become routine.
