The IDF released footage of the strike near the Church of Saint Porphyrius.

Appears to indicate that the Israeli Air Force targeted an adjacent building, but missed and hit the street adjacent to the church compound, collapsing the assembly hall.

Last night, an Israeli airstrike hit near the Church of Saint Porphyrius, causing a concrete assembly hall/council building on the campus to collapse. Image
The marble and granite church itself, built in the 1150s, suffered superficial damage.

Insightful graphic from the Washington Post tracking damaging Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip.

The bulk are north of the Wadi Gaza evacuation line in Gaza city, with Beit Hanoun, Jabalya, and Rimal taking extensive damage.
Image
Of note, Israeli evacuation orders for areas of Beit Hanoun and Al Shati camp were issued on the 8th.



Image
Image
The area around Abasan al Jadida, which saw some of the more significant strikes in the south, had also received evacuation warnings from the Israelis.

I think at some point, either now or in the near future, the international media as a whole should step back and do a postmortem of what happened over the last 36 hours.

There are absolutely deep lessons that should be taken from this.
Organizations should probably take a dive into what happened inside of their newsrooms for the first 12 hours, and really understand the points where things broke down.

Because no matter what actually happened on the ground, the media response was poor.
Absent of governmental statements, what facts emerged in the first few hours? What could be independently confirmed? What source material was making it out into published work? What did we actually know?

Full pull of 50cm SkySat imagery via @SkyWatchApps showing the Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on 10/17 and 10/18.

Imagery from the afternoon of 10/18 can be seen below. The central courtyard and parking area have been highlighted in red. Image
Looking closer primarily serves to confirm that IDF aerial imagery and local Gazan media images were accurate. The surrounding buildings are primarily intact, and rooftop solar panels remain attached. Image
I will note that imagery from the day of the explosion (10/17) shows a bit better of a look into the courtyard.

The courtyard itself appears to be fairly empty, this may be because IDPs were primarily using it for overnight shelter. Image

Somewhat major news- Russian Air Force adjacent telegram channel Fighterbomber confirms a large Ukrainian attack last night, alluding to serious losses.

Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted Berdyansk and Luhansk airfields, both heavily populated by Russian aviation assets. Image

Brady did a great breakdown, Berdyansk was heavily populated by rotary wing assets.

I think one thing that has to be noted about the terror attack last week by Hamas near the Gaza border was both its planning and scale.

Today, the IDF released additional images of captured systems, including dozens of RPG warheads, massive EFP IEDs, and various small arms. Image
I think some have the narrative that the overall success of the attack was surprising, but Hamas clearly had deeply planned and massed resources for a massive attack, where the outcome seen wasn't a reach at all.
Info cards for the ID and destruction of IDF systems were also produced, in line with the PG-7VR and EFP IEDs Image
