Clash Report

Reports from Gaza indicate heavy tank fire by the IDF targeting several locations in the northern part of the Strip, including western Al-Atatra, Beit Hanoun, the Jabalia refugee camp, the Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, and more.

The plan involves a broad and sustained IDF ground invasion to dismantle Hamas’s military and governing systems.

A key element is the mass evacuation of nearly 2 million civilians to southern Gaza to separate them from Hamas and enable more effective Israeli operations.

The invasion is phased, with room for potential ceasefires if Hamas agrees to acceptable terms for releasing hostages. If not, the IDF intends to seize and hold territory permanently, unlike in previous conflicts.

According to sources, leading candidates include:

• Khaled al-Mishri
• Siddiq al-Kabir
• Mohammed al-Menfi
• Abdullah al-Lafi
• Musa al-Koni

He [Bismarck] always said: ‘Never try to deceive the Russians or steal from them, because sooner or later, they always come to take back what’s theirs.’

I think this ‘Russians always come for what’s theirs’ is a very important lesson from history.

2. No Reparations – Mutual renunciation of any claims for war damages.

3. Rights for Russian Speakers – Ukraine must adopt European standards for minority rights and end “nationalist propaganda.”

4. Recognition of Territories – Ukraine must not deny Russia’s constitutional claim over five Ukrainian regions (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea), and international recognition is sought.

5. Immediate Ceasefire Condition – Ukrainian forces must withdraw from all five Russian-claimed territories.
