Ukrainian forces, facing challenges on the front lines, have intensified sabotage efforts against Russian logistics, including a significant attack on a Russian freight train in a remote tunnel that could disrupt a key supply route for weapons from North Korea.

The ongoing battle against Hamas: Israel's strategic calamity

Experts say it is unlikely that Hamas can be completely eliminated by military means. Hamas is not just a militant organization but also a social movement with mass support in the Gaza Strip. While Israel has the resources to degrade Hamas and hunt down its leaders, weakening Hamas may be the best that can be expected. Very few national militaries have managed to decisively defeat guerrilla organizations in the past, and attempts to destroy such groups have often led to the emergence of more extremist factions. Destroying Hamas by military means may fuel the cycle of violence and resentment, and the push to do so will likely destroy what is left of Gaza.

Sudan's Crisis: Air Strikes, Guerrilla Fighting, and Humanitarian Tragedy.

The conflict in Sudan has seen both sides, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), using a combination of air strikes and guerrilla tactics. The RSF, which grew out of the Janjaweed militias, is now at war with its former ally, the Sudanese army. Both sides have anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank missiles, artillery and mortars. The RSF is using manoeuvring tactics in street fighting and guerrilla war, including the rotation of checkpoints to avoid aerial targeting, intensive anti-aircraft fire, deployment of snipers and hit-and-run attacks on SAF bases. The army is using intensive air strikes to target different paramilitary camps, offices and checkpoints.
