Israel's military has ordered the evacuation of a fifth of the main city in southern Gaza, as it expands its ground offensive against Hamas. A map showed six northern and central areas of Khan Younis where an estimated 167,000 people needed to leave.

Witnesses also reported seeing tanks to the east, and a doctor said a local hospital was overwhelmed by casualties. In Gaza City, an unconfirmed report says 50 people were killed when Israeli air strikes hit two schools.

Reuters news agency has said that the strikes are still to be independently verified and that the Hamas-run health ministry could not be reached for comment. The Israeli army said it was looking into the report.

Many of Gaza's 2.3 million residents are sheltering in the south after being previously ordered to leave the north.

Israel has assembled a system of large pumps it could use to flood Hamas’s vast network of tunnels under Gaza Strip with seawater, a tactic that could destroy their tunnels & drive fighters from their underground refuge but also threaten Gaza’s water supply, U.S. officials said.

The Israel Defense Forces finished assembling large seawater pumps roughly one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp around the middle of last month. Each of at least five pumps can draw water from the Mediterranean Sea and move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels, flooding them within weeks.

As reported by Iran Observer on November 28, 2023, Iran released footage showcasing the monitoring of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as it transited the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a specific warning to the United States, focusing on advising against the takeoff of any aircraft on board the carrier during its passage through the strategic strait.

This Iranian action is reported to have violated safety precautions outlined in a daily Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), directing both manned and unmanned aircraft to maintain a distance greater than 10 nautical miles from the aircraft carrier to ensure the safety of military and civilian aviation.

This incident occurred amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as attacks against US coalition forces in Iraq and Syria attributed to Iranian-backed proxy groups.

This drone encounter follows previous instances where US naval ships intercepted and neutralized missiles fired from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. USS Carney (DDG-64) recently shot down a Houthi missile over the Red Sea, marking the second such incident involving the ship. Additionally, USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116) of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group has intercepted Houthi drones in the Red Sea on multiple occasions, with incidents reported on November 22 and November 15, 2023.

Israel-Hamas war: Hamas’s Gaza leader is‘hiding underground’, IDF says Yahya Sinwar, a top Hamas leader is hiding underground. Netanyahu announced forces ‘encircling’ his house. 

It’s only a matter of time before we get him,” the Israeli prime minister said on Wednesday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Sinwar, who Israeli officials have described as the architect of the 7 October attacks, is hiding underground. A senior Netanyahu adviser described the operation as a “symbolic victory”.

Israeli and Hamas are fighting house-to-house battles along the length of the Gaza Strip. As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been fighting their way through badly bomb-damaged urban areas in northern and southern Gaza, Hamas has increasingly relied on improvised bombs to inflict casualties and slow down the assault. The focal points of the fighting over the past two days have been the Jabalia refugee camp and the Shuja’iyya district in northern Gaza, and Khan Younis and Bani Suheila in the south.

So what will happen if Hamas or Iran somehow sink one of the US carrier currently in the Mediterranean?     

Navy created its Independence-class ships out of desperation as an interim measure to ensure its sailors & pilots were better equipped to fight in remainder of World War II. Like in WW2..

President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized the importance of expanding America’s naval air power. Several militaries began toying with the concept of launching aircraft from ships in the early 20th century. Notably, the British converted merchant ships into carriers during the First World War. The U.S. followed suit and made its first attempt to convert the large Jupiter vessel into the Navy’s first-ever aircraft carrier. Although the USS Langley was slow and had limited hangar capacity, she represented future possibilities for America’s naval air power.

With tensions ramping up across globe, U.S. called a naval disarmament conference in 1921, resulting Washington Treaty sharply curtailed sea-based construction of its signere major Allies of WWI that agreed to use this treaty for preventative war measures include British Empire, U.S., France, Italy, and Japan. By the next decade, however, both Japan and Italy renounced the treaty, and implementing naval arms limitations became increasingly difficult for the other signatories.

Prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, then-president Roosevelt proposed to expedite the U.S. Navy’s capabilities. At the time, a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy asserted that no new and enhanced aircraft carriers were expected to enter service until 1944 at the earliest. In fact, the vessels ordered under the Two-Ocean Navy Act of 1940 included large numbers of new carriers, however, the pace for their development was stinted by the service’s additional need for battleships. With this in mind, Roosevelt called for converting some of the Navy’s existing cruisers into these floating airports.

After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, the need for additional carriers became prioritized. Although officials understood that quickly converting existing boats into carriers would deem them less capable than desired, the need for these types of vessels was pressing.

A total of nine cruisers were converted into carriers in the Independence-class. Like the Navy previously feared, the new ships possessed several key shortcomings. The aviation facilities aboard these vessels were tiny and their smaller flight decks made it very challenging for pilots to land aircraft upon.

Nonetheless, these carriers entered service alongside the first of the Navy’s Essex-class carriers in 1943. The Independence (CV/CVL-22) was the first to serve the Navy as a small aircraft carrier, followed by Princeton (CV/CVL-23), Belleau Wood (CV/CVL-24), Cowpens (CV/CVL-25), Monterey (CV/CVL-26), Langley (CV/CVL-27), Cabot (CVL-28), Bataan (CVL-29) and San Jacinto (CVL-30).

F4U-4 Corsair fighters over Hungnam to support evacuation efforts of the American and South Korean troops being shipped to the southern Pusan perimeter. Following this evacuation effort, the carrier launched fighters to pursue reconnaissance and close air support missions.

The USS Cabot also underwent wartime modernizations in the 1950s to retain an edge over competitors. In 1967, the carrier became the Spanish Navy’s aircraft carrier where it would serve for more than two decades.

The re-emergence of USS Independence-class ships during the Korean War was short-lived, and by the early 1970s, all but the USS Cabot were decommissioned. Since the quick conversion of the interim Independence class, the U.S. Navy has all but perfected its carrier capabilities and functions.

Today, the Navy’s Ford-class and Nimitz-class ships are considered by many to represent the best aircraft carriers across the globe.

The Russian air force’s main helicopter base, in Chaplynka 25 miles south of the Dnipro, soon would be well within range of Ukrainian drones and rocket-launchers. To protect the rotorcraft, the Russians scattered them to smaller, hidden bases farther from the front.

Russia has responded to claims: Israel was considering flooding tunnels in the Gaza Strip it considered to be part of Hamas network, saying such a move would be a war crime.

Moscow's statement also noted a report this week that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had assembled a system of large pumps. These could flood with seawater Hamas's vast network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip, according to U.S. officials cited by The Wall Street Journal. 

The newspaper said each of at least five pumps can take water from the Mediterranean Sea and, while the tactic could drive Hamas fighters from their underground hiding places, it could also threaten the strip's water supply.

Russia said that reports of proposals to flood the tunnels were shocking and warned that "if done, this will be a war crime." And Why he, Putin can kill Ukraine innocent folks. 

"Such flooding could be considered analogous to 'do not spare them' order, but it is not only about that and not only about civilians who may be in those tunnels," read what Putin want?.

FLASHPOINTS on the HIJMS Musashi has an important lesson to teach us on military obsolescence. The Musashi’s sister ship, the Yamato, nearing completion in 1941.

Credit: to Microsoft, appears now to have found wreck of HIJMS Musashi. To claim Musashi was most powerful battleship ever built would court needless controversy, but was most accounts the largest (very marginally larger than her sister, HIJMS Yamato), sinking of HIJMS Musashi in October 1944 made depressingly clear what many observers had suspected since 1941, and even as early as 1920s: sufficient numbers of committed carrier aircraft could sink a battleship, even when battleship carried a heavy anti-aircraft armament and could maneuver at speed. But a more careful look at story offers some insights into how we understand the relationship between military innovation and “obsolescence.”

In one telling, sinking of Musashi was the final answer to the challenge that Billy Mitchell made to the utility of warships in the early 1920s. American level bombers sank the hulk German battleship Ostfriesland in July 1921, leading airpower advocates to claim that battleship, and really all naval vessels become “obsolete.” Taranto and Pearl Harbor, where carrier aircraft sank battleships at anchor, were part of this story, but an even more important milestone was the sinking of HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales, under steam, by Japanese aircraft on December 10, 1941.
