1/? These are M4000 binary Sarin bombs. The two precursors for Sarin (isopropyl alcohol and methylphosphonyl difluoride) would be loaded separately into the two holes in the side of the bomb. Inside the bomb are two chambers separated by a membrane.

#Syria: the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) found 54 aerial bombs used to disperse chemical agents. They are of a similar model to those used in Lataminah attack in 2017. 25 rockets like those used in the E. Ghouta sarin attack in 2013 were also found. Munitions, equipment and chemical stockpiles were transferred to special facilities in preparation for their destruction.

Interesting claim by CENTCOM here. A very quick estimated measurement using the diameters of the Hoveyzeh and PrSM make the length much more consistent with the PrSM. The Hoveyzeh silhouette is also much different, with wings and a visible engine depending on angle.

« On peut détruire 1 ville. On ne détruira jamais ses idées ». Pensées pour mes amis de #Daraya, leur résistance pacifique, malgré le blocus, les bombes, la mort et l’exil. Que les roses de #Daraya, brandies en 2011 contre les balles du pouvoir, puissent enfin repousser.

Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu fires his defence minister Yoav Gallant, blaming a breakdown of trust. A statement of the blindingly obvious. But while Gallant’s approach was generally low key, his replacement, Yisrael Katz, employs a megaphone. Bibi calls him a “bulldozer.”

One of the weapons the IDF are displaying here in their imagery of captured Hamas weapons/caches in Jabaliya is an air gun/pellet gun, from the looks of it: idf.il/245371 Matches with the 4.5mm Norica Model 56 rifle as seen for sale here: eshop.kirgias.gr/en/air-guns…

November 4 PlanetScope imagery from @planet shows what appears to be mass demolitions in northern Gaza's Jabaliya neighborhood, not unlike what we've seen elsewhere. In particular, many buildings in the area of 31.5317, 34.4958 near Jabaliya's main market appear to be destroyed.

Elsewhere, new November 2 SkySat from @planet shows what appears to be new IDF military activity in northern Nuseirat in the area of 31.4569, 34.3945. Before image is from October 24. Clearings weren't there in October 31 PlanetScope, so fairly recent.

"The Israeli soldier recalled the moment his commander brought two Palestinians to him, cuffed and blindfolded, to be used as shields. One was a teenager, he said, while the other appeared to be in his 20s. “I asked why we need them.” > washingtonpost.com/world/202…

Israeli forces used civilians as human shields in Gaza, Palestinians and soldiers say

Palestinians describe being forced to carry out life-threatening tasks by Israeli forces in Gaza.
