    Berletic: Ukr Uses ATACMS as Offensive Culminates, Israeli Military Targets Civilians Ahead Urban Op Archived Message

    Update on the conflict in Ukraine and Israel-Gaza for October 19, 2023:
    * Ukraine uses ATACMS missiles to hit Russian airfields, causing damage to
    several aircraft;

    * The missiles exist in too small of quantities versus Russia's more capable and
    numerous Iskander missile ballistic and cruise missiles;

    * Ukraine will continue to use "wonder weapons" to distract from the overall
    degradation of its military capabilities;

    * Israel is almost certainly behind a recent hospital strike in Gaza;

    * Israel demanded these hospitals be evacuated, a virtual death sentence to
    those being treated there according to the UN;

    * Israel already declared a Gaza-wide bombing campaign focused on "damage" over
    "precision;"

    * The strike involved a weapon with destructive power only Israel possess,
    possibly a guided rocket fired from an Israeli M270 which are admittedly being
    used to target Gaza (see references below);

    * Israel appears to be laying down preparatory fire for a ground incursion which
    will be a very costly operation in terms of time, manpower, equipment, and
    ammunition;

    * Based on other military operations like this in both Gaza in 2014, Fallujah in
    2004, and recent fighting in Ukraine, Israel and its US-backers will have
    stockpiles and military industrial output stretched to the absolute limits
    leaving little room for error or additional contingencies;
