War with Hamas to cost Israel above $50 billion:
Report
Half of the cost would be in defence expenses that amount
to some 1 billion shekels a day. Another 40-60 billion shekels would come from
a loss of revenue, 17-20 billion for compensation for businesses and 10-20
billion shekels for rehabilitation.
Army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that the Israeli
forces "have encircled Gaza City" and "now there exists a south
Gaza and a north Gaza".
Only a very strong Indian economy
will be able to withstand the war.
Israel: Almost 10,000 rockets fired from Gaza
since October 7
Israel's foreign ministry claims that Hamas terrorists in
the Gaza Strip have fired over 9,500 rockets at Israeli territory since their
attack on the Jewish state one month ago. Since October 7, 1,400 people have
been murdered in Israel, while 7,198 more have been wounded. As of Tuesday
evening, 342 people remain hospitalized, with 51 in serious condition. Hamas is
believed to be holding at least 239 people hostage in Gaza.
Drone, explosive attacks target US forces
across Iraq
The drone, which was
launched at the Erbil air base by an Iranian-backed militia before sunrise on
Oct. 26, penetrated U.S. air defenses and crashed into the second floor of the
barracks housing American troops at about 5 a.m
The incident was among at least 40 separate drone and
rocket attacks that have been launched at US forces by Iranian-backed militias
in Iraq and Syria over the past three weeks in response to American support for
Israel in the Gaza war, according to Pentagon data and the two US officials.
India has to develop defence against
rockets, missiles, drones fired by terrorists and China and Pakistan.
Since October 7,
331,000 Israelis returned to Israel, a nation with a total population of 9.3
million.
Ukraine’s population was
43.7 million in 2020. Since the war started in February last year, some 2.8
million left for Russia and 6 million for the West, to Europe, the US and
Canada, representing some 20% of its population.
Meanwhile, millions have
been fleeing various Islamic countries – Syria and Yemen, in particular, where
Sunnis and Shias kill one another with abandon – with hardly anyone comfortably
settled in the West going back to any of these countries to fight and nobody
demonstrating anywhere against the massacres between the two Islamic sects or
condemning their financial backers.
Patriotic Indians
should also come back to India, when a war or serious warlike situation develops. Indians also should study
as to how the Israeli citizens who are
not soldiers are also helping the country to fight a war against Hamas. Becoming
Information warriors is one important task.
Israel calls for
Palestinian photographers of Hamas raid to be treated as terrorists
Freelancers for AP, CNN and others sent images
of October 7 raids, some from within Israel with videos of terrorists actually
killing civilians.
The ballistic missiles
that arced from Yemen to Israel on October 31st set several records
They probably travelled farther than any
other ballistic missile fired as an act of aggression, having crossed at least
1,600km. They were intercepted by Israel’s Arrow missile-defence system above
the Negev desert. It was the first time that Arrow, deployed for 23 years, had
taken out a surface-to-surface missile. It was also the first ever combat
interception in space, according to two Israeli officials. The incident is a
small illustration of how the proliferation of missiles with growing range and
precision is changing the military landscape of the Middle East.
Russia’s war economy
leaves businesses starved of labour
Busy armaments factories are depriving other
industries of scarce workers.
Russia asks
Pakistan to return helicopter engines, says report
Russia is facing a shortage
of weapons and ammunition in its prolonged conflict with Ukraine, leading to an
unexpected twist where it is importing arms, including missiles, from North
Korea. South Korean sources reveal over 1 million artillery shells sent to
Russia since August, along with 2,000 containers of military equipment,
potentially including ballistic missiles.
