On October 15, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continued strikes on the Gaza Strip from air, land and sea in preparations for a ground invasion.
The health ministry in Gaza said in its most recent update that 2450 Palestinians have been killed and more than 9,200 others have been wounded in IDF strikes since the outbreak of the war in the strip after the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack on Israel.
An earlier update by the ministry revealed that more than 700 children and 400 women were among those killed by Israeli fire.
At least 1,300 Israelis were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded in the surprise Palestinian attack. Hundreds others were captured or went missing. The IDF has so far acknowledged losing 289 troops.
The chief of the Israeli Air Force (IAF), which has been leading the bombing campaign on Gaza, said that fighter jets and drones are “aggressively” striking the Strip to clear as many threats as possible before ground forces begin their expected offensive.
“We are preparing the arena for an as effective as possible operation. Removing as many threats as possible from the ground and air,” IAF chief Major General Tomer Bar said in a call with reporters.
“We will do what is necessary, aggressively, so that if it is decided to maneuver, we will allow the best ground entry that will give the troops operational freedom of action,” the commander added.
The heavy Israeli bombardment provoked more mortar and rocket attacks by Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and other armed factions in Gaza. The attacks targeted nearby settlements as well as military bases and gatherings. Tel Aviv city in central Israel was also targeted with heavy rockets.
In addition, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released footage showing the launch of suicide drones against Israeli military targets.
The IDF also faced several attacks on the Lebanon front during the day. In the morning, Hezbollah attacked a military center in the settlement of Shtula in the occupied Shebaa Farms with an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), killing a civilian and wounding at least three others. The group also targeted the nearby al-Rahib site with direct fire and hit a Merkava tank that was deployed there with ATGM.
In the afternoon, Hezbollah said its fighters targeted two Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers at an IDF site near the settlement of Hanita with ATGMs. Later, the group targeted the sites of Jal al-Alam, Birkat Risha, Ramya, al-Manara and al-Abad with direct fire and destroyed surveillance equipment on a fence near the setting of Metula.
Hamas fighters also launched a salvo of 20 rockets from southern Lebanon at settlements in northern Israel. Material losses were reported.
The IDF shelled southern Lebanon after the attacks. Attack helicopters also carried out a series of strikes against targets of Hezbollah.
The attacks were in response to recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon which claimed the lives of a journalist and two civilians as well as in support of Palestinian people in Gaza.
Fighting on the Lebanese front is expected to intensify once the IDF launches its ground attack on Gaza. Hezbollah appears to be willing to go all the way in order to support its Palestinians allies in the Strip.

sentiment killed the roman empire. native americans were erased. and now, after 75 years, the israeli’s and americans want the palestinians to finally be erased. the question is can it be done again so openly and blatantly live on youtube in front of the whole world?
plus they killed cats with all those bombings. 1 cat is worth more than all of those big nosed freaks combined.
i wonder when the killing of the arabs will start. got my popcorn ready!
why don’t you join the ukranazis militias? i heard you can get paid handsomely if you have western military experience especially from a major power. the only problem is you wont need cash in the afterlife
wtf do you know about the afterlife you imbecil
what i know is that you are subhuman. physiologically you aren’t capable of emotional intelligence like empathy. you are a subhuman sociopath, probably even a psychopath — seek help.
i am just enjoying the killings. they are the ones killing… bonehead
exactly. lack of empathy. finding amusement in other people’s deaths — tbat makes you a prime candidate for a subscription to your local mental hospital.
yes, i like nazi suffering
my mistake, i’m here talking to you as if you were a person — but it’s clear now that you’re a retard. a product of the abysmal american education system. my mistake.
are you sure your arab daddy didn’t take a pyss in your mothers cont during your conception? you seem to have a lot of pii in your brains. or was it number two, which seems to be more realistic???
that’s textbook sociopathic behaviour. and it makes you subhuman
see you when they attac italy and rid you of everything that was ital. you have no idea about arabic pestilence. they want to bring fuchin sharia to the world. love to hear from you, after they destroy your country and rape your women. oh, but nooo… i’m the sick one. you have to be an arab fuch.
most terrorist groups like isis dont even attack western targets, they’re trained in turkey, jordan, and syria by the americans to balkanize the me to fund the greater israel colonial project
jewish control over western society has wreaked havoc on all facets of life, degrading family structure, morals, the economy. they have degraded quality of life on almost every level. they’ve already conquered the us and europe and australia through vast control of the global financial system and information delivery systems
if you take the dildo out of your azz long enough, you realize that the arab nazis will bring you zero solution to your moral dilemma. you fuchup
so, the terrorists of the nazi arab gay nations are basically good hearted angels, who strap on bombs to their kids and send them to die. i like it!!!! more
you have no idea what you’re saying. syria was a secular arab country. lybia was also a leading african country doing great things in africa before they were invaded. the americans stoked sectarian divisions in iraq and plunged that country into a civil war and created battle hardened militants that want revenge. the americans and israelis create islamic terrorism both directly and indirectly
you sound like an uneducated ignoramus. you must get your worldview from alt right zionazi outlets and fox news. ever heard of “insurgent math”? stanley a. mcchrystal and his aide said every civilian casualty generates 20 more insurgents. and often called this “insurgent math”
i agree with all your opinions, ‘g. saviano ‘.
bravo.
so, aren’t they mad at you for sharing the fuhrer’s intel?
you seem to know your way around terrorist groups. hope interpol ist reading your posts
