A day after Israel attacked Iran on Friday, a cargo plane took off from China. The next day, a second plane departed from a coastal city. Then on Monday, yet another departed, this time from Shanghai – three flights in three days.

Data showed that on each flight, the plane flew westward along northern China, crossing into Kazakhstan, then south into Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan – and then falling off the radar as it neared Iran.

To add to the mystery, flight plans indicated a final destination of Luxembourg, but the aircraft appeared to have never flown near European skies.

Aviation experts have noted that the type of plane used, Boeing 747 freighters, are commonly used for transporting military equipment and weapons, and hired to fly government contract orders.

A senior officer at the Pentagon has come under scrutiny over a series of social media posts sharply critical of Israel, its leadership, and US foreign policy in the region.

Colonel Nathan McCormack, who leads the Levant and Egypt branch at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, has used a semi-anonymous account to post numerous comments targeting Israeli actions and US support.

The posts, reportedly written since the 7 October 2023, have sparked outrage among pro-Israel circles in Washington. Here’s what he said:

• “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land.”
• “Israel’s actions over decades have prompted the accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide.”
• “The Western states go to great lengths to avoid criticism of Israel, much out of Holocaust guilt.”
• “Our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.”
• “The US has not been an honest broker. We have overwhelmingly enabled Israel’s bad behavior.”
• Responding to the idea of relocating Gaza’s population, McCormack wrote that Israel wants “to expel them and cleanse ‘Eretz Israel’ (Greater Israel) of ethnic Palestinians.”
• Since June 2024 he also called Israel a “death cult”

Israel is facing a shortage of Arrow missile interceptors, raising concerns over its capacity to counter long-range ballistic attacks from Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing a senior US official.

The Jerusalem Post has reached out to the IDF and other sources for comment, but cannot verify this report at this time.

According to the report, the US has been aware of the issue for several months and has taken steps to bolster Israel’s missile defense systems by deploying additional US assets across multiple domains – land, sea, and air.

I don't have much experience in growing carnivorous plants. This is my NOID hybrid Nepenthes, who is my test subject. I try to raise my CPs as vegetarians mostly ;)

I already researched quite a bit, but couldn't find much.
From what I understand and read, it's usually advised against filling them manually, with the exception of newly arrived ones where the digestion juice has been spilled, because they make their own fluids.

That's why there are lids on the pitchers, to prevent rain water from falling in.

Those pitchers you can see on the pictures are relatively newly formed, but all of them didn't fill that much.

Currently, there are 3 fully developed ones.
Two of them have been filled with hydroponic nutrient solution (1 mS strength), and one has been left naturally, with only two small flies dropped in by me.
The plant drank up more than half of the nutrient solution already, and there the lids aren't as opened as the "natural" one.

The plant itself is sitting in LECA for half a year now, with a super diluted nutrient solution. Basically, I only fill it with RO water, and then add some regular nutrient solution on top from time to time. Not too much, or else, the plant isn't hungry and won't develop pitchers from what I've read.

It is growing vigorously!
