🇮🇱🇵🇸Israel-Gaza Conflict: June 3-4 (Recap)

1️⃣ President Biden confirms “Israel’s readiness to move forward with the terms that have now been offered to Hamas”, adding that the United States, Egypt, and Qatar are committed to “the full implementation of the entire agreement”.

2️⃣ The deadly bombing of southern and central Gaza continues, with reports of Hamas fighters battling Israeli troops throughout the besieged city of Rafah.

3️⃣ Four more Israeli captives are pronounced dead by the Israeli military with family groups calling the announcement a “disgrace” and underscoring the need to get an immediate truce deal done.

4️⃣ Large swaths of northern Israel are engulfed by wildfires ignited by Hezbollah rockets as firefighters struggle to get the blazes under control.

5️⃣ Prime Minister Netanyahu has said a US-backed truce proposal in Gaza would allow Israel to return its captives “while adhering to the objectives of the war”, including the elimination of Hamas.

6️⃣ Far-right Israeli officials have rejected the proposal, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich pledging to push to “replace” the country’s “failed leadership” if it accepts it.

7️⃣ The White House has voiced opposition to a proposal in US Congress that would penalise International Criminal Court officials over pursuing war crime charges against Israeli leaders.

At least 36,479 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 82,777 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #ChasovYar in #Bakhmut Direction - RFAF Advance in Kanal Microdistrict - Situation around the Town by Evening of 3 June 2024⚡️

🔵 The Situation in and at #ChasovYar in the Evening of 3 June 2024, from north to south:

🇷🇺 In #Kalinovka, north of #ChasovYar (marked with a grey arrow on map), there are ongoing fights with the initiative on side of the RFAF.

🇺🇦 The AFU Pocket, between #Bogdanovka and #ChasovYar is still not eliminated. This could be explained by the fact that analyst MultiXAM is right when he 👉 claims that #Bogdanovka is 50% in the grey zone. Then the situation there would be worse than the Map indicates. The location is marked with a blue arrow on the Map .

🇷🇺 Recent RFAF Advance in "Kanal Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar, marked with a green arrow on Map.

🇷🇺 RFAF at "Novy Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar. That the RFAF forced the Canal and fights at the southern edge of Novy have been 👉 reported on 1 June 2024. In the meantime, the AFU the loss of control over the southern and eastern parts of the Novy Microdistrict has been 👉 reported.
🟡 The actions are still missing on Map. The location is marked with a red arrow on Map.

🇺🇦 The AFU has still a last nest in #Krasnoye (#Ivanovskoye) within its boundaries. Despite several claims (incl. RF MoD @mod_russia), the village is still not fully taken yet. The location is marked with a yellow arrow on Map.
🟡 To the south is the still contested #Kleshcheyevka, at least part of it is grey zone.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction until 3 June 2024 at 20:12⚡️

🔻1. #Karlovka:
🟡The RFAF have advanced in the garden community in the east, approaching the immediate outskirts of #Karlovka itself and the Karlovskoye Reservoir.
🟡The 59th AFU Brigade is still experiencing serious problems with the quality of personnel and the organisation of sustainable defense. Having started backing away even before #Netaylovo, she continues to lose ground at #Karlovka.

🔻2. #Yasnobrodovka:
🟡The RFAF advanced to the southeast of the village, taking several landings. #Yasnobrodovka itself has not yet been entered, the fighting is not far from the outskirts.

🔻3.#Novopokrovskoye:
🟡The RFAF advanced from the northeast and east to the village. There is also a tangible progress from #Semyonovka.
🟡The village itself is still under enemy control.

🔻4. #Sokol:
🟡The RFAF have firmly clung to the village and are fighting for its liberation. The enemy is seriously resisting, trying to slow down the development of the offensive to the west of #Ocheretino, where over the past day the AFU has lost a number of positions and landings.
🟡In #Novoaleksandrovka, fighting continues in the southeastern part of the village.

🔻5.#Kalinovo:
🟡To the north of #Ocheretino, the RFAF slightly expanded the control zone in the direction of #Kalinovo. Positions north of #Arkhangelskoye's outskirts have also been improved.
🟡In the direction of #Rozovka, there is no serious progress yet.

📌 In General, the RFAF continues to maintain the operational initiative to the west and southwest of #Ocheretino, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has transferred part of its operational reserves to the #Kharkov direction.

🟡As the fighting in the northern part of the #Kharkov region drags on, the binding of the AFU reserves in these battles will become increasingly critical. Hence the enemy's attempts to accelerate the resolution of this problem by offensive actions in the area of #Volchansk and the village of #Liptsy. So far, the AFU is not very good at it.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 3 June 2024⚡️

🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, recent fighting has seen IDF units advance to a university college in the southwest of the capital of the Palestinian enclave. At the same time, the removal of rubble in Jabaliya and the evacuation of residents from Beit Hanoun continues.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, Israeli troops are still conducting an operation to occupy the so-called. "Philadelphia Corridor". Currently, fighting is taking place on the outskirts of Tell al-Sultan, as well as in the Al-Shoq area, at least half of which is already under the control of the IDF.

🔹In the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out another series of raids in several settlements. The most violent clashes took place in Nablus, where members of local armed groups carried out a series of ambushes.

🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, the intensity of both sides' strikes increased slightly. Hezbollah fired at more than ten targets, while the Israelis targeted border and rear settlements in southern #Lebanon. Fires continue to rage on both sides of the border.

🔹In northern #Syria, Israeli aircraft launched strikes from the airspace of the international security zone at Tanf on the city of Hayyan. A strike has been carried out on a copper smelter, killing 17 people and injuring 15 more.
