Aggravation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
what is known by the end of October 16, 2023

Compared to the past 24 hours, the situation in the conflict zone has somewhat stabilized: on the northern borders of Israel there were several clashes with Hezbollah in the area of Metula and Mitzgav Am, but these incidents were isolated. However, today the Israeli authorities have begun to resettle the population of the border areas inland.

Over the past 24 hours, the Israel Defense Forces have been fiercely bombing the Gaza Strip: Palestinian sources believe that the night before was one of the most difficult since the beginning of the conflict. The Israelis reported that one of these attacks killed the head of Hamas intelligence in Khan Yunis.

In addition, the Rafah checkpoint was never opened, despite promises from Western politicians, as a result of which the population was left without humanitarian assistance. Also, foreign citizens were not removed from the enclave. Later, the Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on the checkpoint.

There are artillery duels along the perimeter of the border with the Gaza Strip: the IDF is concentrating a significant amount of manpower and equipment near the enclave. Meanwhile, Palestinian groups continue to fire at Israel: Ashkelon, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem came under attack again today.
