Israeli ground forces advanced into the #Gaza Strip. The al Qassem Brigades claimed to attack advancing #IDF forces in Beit Hanoun and east of Bureij.

Iranian and Palestinian sources are describing Israeli settlers in the West Bank as legitimate military targets.

Palestinian militants clashed with Israeli forces and held large, anti-Israel demonstrations at their usual rate across the West Bank on October 28.

5/ Iranian-backed militants, including Lebanese #Hezbollah (LH), conducted 12 attacks into #Israel as part of an ongoing attack campaign targeting IDF radar and sensor sites and military targets. isw.pub/IranUpdate1028…

6/ The Islamic Resistance in #Iraq—a coalition of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias—claimed to attack US forces at al Tanf Garrison (ATG) in eastern #Syria on October 27.

Local media reported two other unclaimed drone and rocket attacks on US forces stationed at bases in eastern and northeastern Syria.

This is the eleventh consecutive day of Iranian-backed militia attacks on US forces in the Middle East. All three attacks occurred after #Israel’s expanded operation into the #Gaza Strip.
