  1. In Kherson direction, Grad MLRS units of Dnepr Group of Russian Armed Forces attacked Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right bank of the Dnepr. Grad MLRS destroyed them as Kiev continued to try to transfer troops by boat to the left bank in Krynki which was controlled by Russia. - Military Tube Today

  2. Three dozen Ukrainian drones have been shot down while attempting to strike Crimea in an overnight raid on Friday, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The attack came just hours after an attempted missile strike on Sevastopol, in which Kiev’s forces used ten projectiles, including Western-supplied “Storm Shadows.” “An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles was stopped on January 5,” the ministry said in a bulletin. “Air defense systems on duty destroyed and intercepted 36 Ukrainian UAVs over the territory of the Republic of Crimea and one UAV over the territory of Krasnodar Region,” the military added. According to local media, none of the Storm Shadow missiles reached their intended targets. Debris from the destroyed projectiles caused some property damage, however, and injured one civilian. - RT

  3. Yep, things are going just swell with Israel’s War Cabinet. Looks like the same lack of professionalism demonstrated by the Israeli military in Gaza is spilling over into the political chambers. All of this comes on the heels of another Haaretz report on the investigation into the murder of three Israeli hostages by the Israeli military. That report is a stunner. Here are the lowlights: The military investigation concludes that the soldiers and senior commanders operating in the area were not informed of a building found two days before the incident on which the words ‘Help, 3 hostages’ and ‘SOS’ were painted. The soldier who shot the three Israeli hostages Samer al-Talalka, Yotam Haim and Alon Shamriz confirmed that he saw them carrying a white cloth, but did not have time to “make sense” of the situation. Other soldiers opened fire at Haim and killed him, in violation of an explicit order which, they say, they “did not fully understand,” after their commander called on the hostage to emerge from the building he had run into. At 9:49, two soldiers noticed Haim moving and opened fire, in spite of their commander’s order. The hostage was killed instantly. The investigation determined that the order to hold fire was heard clearly, but the soldiers claimed that they hadn’t understood the order, thinking it was a temporary order, meant to enable them to listen and ensure there was no enemy fire in the area. It was further argued that soldiers were not sure about the rules of engagement, especially with regard to unarmed men, even though the IDF is operating in a densely populated area, calling on Hamas fighters to surrender. Ponder that for a moment. Soldiers are given a “cease fire” order but only considered it a temporary suggestion. And they were not “sure” about the Rules of Engagement (ROE). The hostages were unarmed. They had their shirts off and it could be clearly seen they were not wearing a bomb belt. This incident confirms that Israeli soldiers have standing Rules of Engagement to shoot unarmed persons. - Sonar21
