Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.
The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.
Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.
I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Ken Klippenstein has been banned from Twitter for publishing the J.D. Vance dossier.
(it's >200 pages, but from a glance it mostly seems to be a paper trail of his "liberal ties" and being a "never-trumper." Very much opposition research targeted at right wingers)
Anyone got the pdf?

either you replied to the wrong comment or you're making some mindboggling connections that have left me in the dust
Citing the Hill to try and prove “foreign hacking and election interference” is complete lib shit, you are falling for Russiagate 2.0
Trump also assassinated Qasem Soleimani and almost provoked war with Iran on his way out at the beginning of 2020.
The Soleimani angle is the only motivation Iran needs to want to sink Trump. Not even on a geopolitical level, but a personal one. But this thing is a moist fart. For all the secret service / national security council handwringing about "Iranian election interference" this is fucking weak. Literally just a list of points which have been made in various mainstream US publications. Way too overhyped.
Why are you believing the FBI in its imperialist intrigues and fake bullshit about “Iranian cyber interference”
This is entirely made up nonsense.
Iran has accused Biden of genocide, they do not like the Democrats. This is just Russia Russia Russia propaganda nonsense
Yeah it's not surprising Iran hates Trump so much and had better experiences in the past with Democratic administrations. John Kerry helped broker the Iran deal after all. But I think it's a thought process a bit stuck in the past, the Obama era neoliberal Democratic administrations are a thing of the past and are not coming back, that era of diplomacy is dead. Just look at the rhetoric from Harris, a lot of it is straight up copy and paste from Trump 2016.
Some Obama regime bigshot also met with ISIS leaders, I think it was Jhon Kerry? the war nerd podcast had an audio were they were they were hanging out and he asked them to change their slogan about genociding the alawites and christians, and they said "but we really want to do that" and Obama muppet was like, "i know, and it's fine, but kept it on the dow low." And the ISIS guys were like "but saying it motivates the recruits"
Also the iran deal was a sham, the Obama regime even threatened European companies against investing in iran after the deal was supposedly in effect. You have fallen for propaganda Obama was the worst one if we go by death count, worse than bush even.
What does this have to do with Iran?
