🔥 The flash mob continues: Russians and residents of the occupied territories set fire to military registration and enlistment offices
Twice in a few hours they tried to set fire to the military registration and enlistment office building in Podolsk, Moscow region. According to Russian Telegram channels, first at about 9:30 pm a woman approached the commissariat on Lenin Avenue and threw a bottle with an unknown mixture out the window. There was no fire; the 53-year-old Russian woman was detained on the spot.
The second arson attempt occurred approximately 0:20 - this time a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the building by a 66-year-old man. He was also detained.
Another Molotov cocktail arrived last night at the military registration and enlistment office in Obninsk, Kaluga region of Russia. A 70-year-old man was detained not far from the scene of the incident. However, he claims that he was only passing by and, on the contrary, trying to put out the flames.
Yesterday it also became known that in temporarily occupied Sevastopol, a 62-year-old local resident was detained for throwing a Molotov cocktail at the door of the military registration and enlistment office.

KHERSON UPDATE
A flood of information late yesterday, it seems they wanted to report on a success here.
Krynky has been held for quite some time now and has resisted several attempts at being dislodged by Russia. One especially bad operation went terribly wrong for them when an entire assault group got ambushed and destroyed in the neighbouring woods.
Ukrainian forces have started to push along the line of the road in both directions. The Russians have tried to resist this by going on the defensive at both ends of the advance, but especially Kozachi Laheryi - trying to stop the Ukrainians getting into the forest and further embedded.
The Russians started to use thermobaric weapons on the forest but in order to do this they withdraw their own troops first, making the assumption they are hitting their enemy in place.
Instead the Russians themselves are now admitting the bombardment convinced the Ukrainians that there was nothing in the forest and they swiftly moved in and took up former Russian positions.
The Russians are complaining that they can’t get close enough now without being seen by long range spotting cameras the Ukrainians have placed at key points - they don’t have the artillery accuracy or numbers and the drones don’t function because of the Ukrainian EW, so the Russians can’t take them out.
What few EW systems the Russians have left in the region are quickly hunted down and destroyed before they become a problem, Ukraine understands it has to maintain its advantage in order to sustain the operation.
Ukrainian military yesterday released video showing how they’re supplying more troops to the front along with supplies, during the mornings under the cover of dense autumn fogs which prevent Russians from using their drones.
Overall the Russians seem not to be prioritising the defence of this region. Most of their resources remain fixed on operations along the northern and eastern fronts with containment being the main objective along the southern front. They don’t see the long term danger from the Ukrainian operation in Kherson.
From a Russian perspective they see this as a sure way to trap and kill a load of Ukrainians when the time comes- if it ever does. They don’t see the operation as sustainable and they don’t see how Ukraine can do anything serious with it because they have to get across the river and any attempt at a semi-permanent crossing is easily eliminated. They think that when they decide to act and eliminate it they’ll use enough force that they will because Ukraine can’t maintain it long term.
This is Russian arrogance all over. They forget that in time Ukraine could bring enough stores and even create local air defence hot spots to be tactically flexible. They don’t see that by picking off Russian forces and knocking out artillery and EW on such a relentless basis it’s creating an edge they can’t easily get out from under.
The Ukrainians have been inventive and daring throughout this operation. Clearly they tested the concept early on and learnt form it, adapted and developed new ideas and better tactics to achieve and maintain what they plan to do. To my mind they have plans and there are things going on we haven’t seen yet and might not for several weeks.
This operation is far from over!
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!

U.S. Confirms Hamas Command Center Under S. Confirms Hamas Command Center Under Hospital
A U.S. intelligence official confirmed that Israel's claim about a Hamas command and operations center located under the Al-Shifa Medical Center in Gaza City is accurate.
Additionally, it was noted that Hamas fighters frequently siphon off fuel intended for the hospital.
These fighters often assemble and operate around the hospital, using the facility and its patients as human shields.

▪️ IDF warplanes attacked terrorist infrastructures in Syria, in response to launches towards the Golan Heights. Hezbollah targets in Lebanon were also attacked.
▪️ The Jordanian news agency "Petra News" reported that a plane of the Jordanian Air Force dropped medical aid for the second time to the Jordanian Field Hospital in the Gaza Strip. It was noted that this was carried out in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The first aid was dropped on November 6 in full coordination with the IDF.
▪️ The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, published an article on the news site Le Parisien in which he came out against anti-Semitism in France. "In one month, more than a thousand anti-Semitic acts were committed on our land. [...] The France that our Jewish brothers fear is not France." Macron also noted the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, and emphasized that he supports Israel's right to defend itself without reservation. But he calls for political dialogue and the building of a "humanitarian coalition" that will allow "a humanitarian truce that will lead to a ceasefire."
▪️ The British Telegraph reported that about 70 members of parliament and British politicians wrote to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and urged him to define Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.
▪️ The newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadid reported that the "Gaza Border Authority" announced that the Rafah crossing towards Egypt will be reopened today to holders of foreign passports, after traffic through it was stopped last week.
🤬 In Crimea, the Russians plan to militarize every tenth child by the end of the year
According to the president's deputy ambassador to the ARC, students from grades 5 to 9 undergo general military training with weapons in their hands in extracurricular classes, and for students in grades 1-5, the occupiers created a separate "military-patriotic organization" "Orlenok".
The order on the militarization of children and youth came from Moscow and was clearly spelled out in special manuals. According to him, the manuals stated that the first and main goal is to prepare children for the fact that they should sacrifice themselves for the sake of the "motherland", that is, for the sake of the political elite.
