  • Why is ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ trending and why is the US refusing to criticize Israel’s action? ,

    Israel has been making advances in Palestine’s Rafah. The Rafah region shot into the news once again on Tuesday after dozens of people died in a fresh attack, allegedly carried out by Israel. This happened two days after 45 people died in another airstrike, that Palestine claimed to be carried out by Israel. Israeli tanks were deployed in the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood, which was hit by the airstrike on Sunday.

    “Despite our efforts to minimize civilian casualties during the strike, the fire that broke out was unexpected and unintended…Our investigation seeks to determine what may have caused such a large fire to ignite,” said IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari.

    The Israeli army had pushed into the heart of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip amid its military operations carried out in multiple places in the enclave. As per reports, the Israeli army had intensified its bombardment in Rafah on Tuesday morning, forcing a great number of Palestinians to flee to other places.

    However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu termed Monday’s strike as a tragic incident saying that the country will investigate it. Netanyahu, however, vowed to continue the war against Hamas despite international criticism.

    What Is All Eyes On Rafah?

    After 45 people died in civilian camps following airstrike by Israel, netizens and key personalities expressed their solidarity with Palestine by sharing a graphic image on which it was written ‘All Eyes On Rafah’. People prayed for the safety of civilians in Rafah through their social media posts and called for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

    Why did the US not call for ceasefire?

    The White House said that its policy related to the Israel-Hamas war won’t change following Rafah’s ‘airstrike’ mistake. Though the US said that it would seek answers from Israel. The US administration hinted that the Isarel has not crossed the ‘red line’ yet. The United States’ firm stance with Israel suggests that the Biden administration wants Hamas to surrender and return those in its captivity.

    Israel’s Advances in Rafah

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported on Tuesday that they conducted military operations in various locations across Gaza. In Jabalia, northern Gaza, the Israeli army killed Palestinian militants who attempted to fire at Israeli forces and destroyed several military targets, including underground tunnels, observation posts, and weapon depots. In central Gaza, the IDF carried out airstrikes on multiple targets, resulting in the deaths of several Palestinian militants.

    Gaza’s health authorities have said that the Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip reached 36,096 and more than 81,000 people have been injured.

  • India’s strength will increase in the sky, three more Rafale coming next month

    The strength of the Indian Air Force is going to increase further next month. Let me tell you that the Indian Air Force, which is struggling with the shortage of fighter aircraft, is going to get three more Rafale in the month of January of the new year. With the arrival of these Rafale fighters, the strength of the army will increase further. With the arrival of the first batch of Rafale, the enemy countries are sweating in the same way, in such a situation, India will have no harm in fighting in the sky. Explain that a person associated with this on the condition of anonymity says that three more Rafaels will join the Indian Air Force squadron in January. This will be the third set of delivery of France-made Rafale fighter jets. Explain that about 36 Rafale fighter jets have been signed between India and France for Rafale for 59000 crore rupees. However, no definite date has been revealed when these fighter aircraft will reach India.

    Significantly, the three planes will fly from France to Jamnagar. On the way, fuel will be supplied during the flight itself. In September 2016, the deal for Rafael was confirmed between India and France. With the arrival of three more aircraft in January, India will now have a total of 11 Rafale aircraft. The second consignment of three Rafale aircraft arrived in November. After reaching Jamnagar from France, these three aircraft were deployed to Ambala. Earlier, a set of five Rafale aircraft reached India on 29 July.

    Let me tell you that the deployment of Rafale fighter jets that have come to India, India has been deployed in eastern Ladakh in view of tensions with China. These combat aircraft deployed are fully equipped with weapons. The Indian Army is also on full alert to deal with any provocation by China. The Indian Army is fully prepared to respond to every nefarious act done by China. According to the information received, Indian Air Force will get three to four Rafale every two months. All 36 Rafale aircraft are expected to come to India by the end of the year.

  • J-10 CE fighter jet and missile procured from Pakistan, China

    Pakistan has been frightened since Rafal’s arrival in India. In this panic, fighter jet is going to buy from China. Surprisingly, a country that is fascinated by food and food and is burdened with debt around the world, that country is going to buy expensive fighter jets. Pakistan’s panic can be gauged from the fact that it is preparing to buy more than 30 J10 (CE) fighter jets and its missiles under an emergency purchase from China. According to sources, in October, a team from Pakistan visited China and finalized the discussion of buying 50 J10 (CE) fighter jets. Out of these, 30 jets and missiles containing them are to be purchased immediately under emergency purchase.

    Pakistan’s concerns are the air-to-air METEOR missiles in Rafale and the MICA missiles on the ground. There is no fighter jet of Pakistani Air Force in case of Rafale equipped with these missiles. The Pakistani Air Force has the largest number of Chengdu J7, Mirage 3 and Mirage 5 which are five decades old and can be considered equivalent to MiG-21.

    Even adding modern 110 JF17 and 75 F16, the number of good fighters is very less in front of the number of MiG-29, Mirage 2000 and Sukhoi 30 of the Indian Air Force. With the arrival of Rafal, this balance is completely tilted in favor of the Indian Air Force.

  • Pakistani army said – Rafael or S-400, we are ready to deal with India, but our defense budget is decreasing for 10 years.
