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

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

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.

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.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

Rybar on today's events on the Lebanon-Israel border, extremely pessimistic

spoiler🇮🇱🇱🇧 Situation on the Lebanon-Israel border: IDF announces air operation in Lebanon Situation as of the end of September 24, 2024

The Israeli Air Force continues to carry out massive strikes (https://t.me/rybar/63773) on the territory of the neighboring Republic of Lebanon. Against this backdrop, the Israel Defense Forces have announced the start of Operation "Hetzei ha-Tzafon" ("Arrows of the North").

📌 Due to the peculiarities of translation from Hebrew to English and then to Russian, as well as in attempts to catch the "wave", some resources reported about the start of the advance of Israeli units in southern Lebanon. In reality, the actions of the Israelis are so far limited to air strikes.

▪️ Today's hits by the Israeli Air Force affected not only the border areas of Lebanon: populated areas located more than 100 kilometers from the border with Israel, including Ain Al, were also attacked.

▪️ In addition, the Ad-Dahiya district - the stronghold of Hezbollah in Beirut - was struck again. The IDF Spokesperson's Unit stated that the commander of the missile unit of the Shiite group, Ibrahim Muhammad al-Kubaysi, was eliminated. At the same time, the Arabic-language media have not yet commented on this message.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the victims of the IDF's actions since yesterday have been 558 killed and 1,853 wounded. There is also a mass exodus of Lebanese from the southern part of the country: they are fleeing to the cities of Tripoli and Beirut, as well as to the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.

▪️ Hezbollah fighters also continue to retaliate by shelling Israeli territory: more than 100 rockets were fired in the morning. Most of them were either intercepted by Israeli air defense systems or fell in open areas. Only a small number of projectiles managed to fall within the boundaries of populated areas, causing minor damage.

Based on the reported hits, the forces of the Lebanese group have also expanded the shelling zone to more than 100 kilometers. This is also confirmed by the yesterday's impacts of the rockets launched by Hezbollah on the territory of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.

🔻 Despite the rather tense situation, the parties are so far limited to massive strikes on each other's positions. At the same time, the current ultra-Orthodox authorities of Israel do not stop their attempts to provoke the Lebanese into a more serious response.

Until then, Hezbollah is trying not to give the ultra-right government of Benjamin Netanyahu a reason to unleash a full-fledged Third Lebanese War. Despite the accusations of Israeli propaganda, it is by no means the Shiite group that will be the beneficiary of such an escalation.

So, like, from Satanyahu's point of view, this is the time to accept a ceasefire and hostage deal right?

The whole personal point of continuing the wars for him is that he's in trouble with the law and a lot of people didn't like him, but now with these successes in Lebanon his party is leading the polls again, and the AJ+ guy on the latest chapo said that (and this was BEFORE killing Nasrallah) he was the most popular politician in Israel again, so if he starts moving towards accepting a ceasefire while he's a ugh """hero""" to israelis won't that mean they'll think twice before prosecuting the man who "saved northern israel"?

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Maybe but I think it may be way too late for a ceasefire at this point, not to mention most of those hostages gottta be fucking dead by now either from indiscriminate zionist bombing or starved to death because of the blockade

There has been, for lack of a better term, some doomer vs resistance bloomer discourse as of late when it comes to "Israel" vs. the wider rrsidtance formation, particularly Hezbollah.

Bad taste "owns" on either side ar, wu h as they are, not particularly productive, though I understand the catharsis they bring when horrors are visited by our enemies. But I am curious about how individuals and external formations (like your own organizations) arrive at conclusions and what analytical frameworks they bring. I am personally curious about having more correct views but would also like to self-crit my own biases and make my own orgs better.

How do you all find and digest information about Gaza, Lebanon, and the wider movement to oppose "Israeli" settlers and their American backers? Of course I personally ally absorb a mix of mainstream and primary sources, comparing e.g. Reuters to direct Hezbollah and PFLP statements. But how do you personally synthesize this information? Do you do it alone or as a group in your org?

And more importan, how do you concretely assist the resistance? I underst6 I'd this is not safely communicable, but I appreciate any help in providing direction.

Personally, I feel impotent as my audience, via my orgs, are liberal laymen and I try to get them to be less genocidal and to join orgs that are pro-Palestinian. This has direct results by I feel like it is less than, for example, just funnelimg funds to the PFLP. I would prefer to do the latter but I also assume it I'd already highly illegal and would be shut off immedia if I tried it.

I also assume that anyone helping the resistance cannot tell me how to directly assist. Buy I appreciate any hints or direction.

President of the Senegal continues to inspire little confidence in his ability to do what's right for his country:
https://xcancel.com/AESinfos/status/1838276035072397752

CW: Weird antivaxxers in the replies but seriously fuck Gates.

#AESinfo | #Senegal 🇸🇳 President Diomaye Faye receives billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates to strengthen cooperation with the Gates Foundation

Senegal is strengthening its international cooperation by hosting billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates for strategic discussions on the country's development. President Diomaye Faye highlighted his government's priorities, particularly in key sectors such as agriculture and sanitation, where artificial intelligence and digital technology play a key role.

One of the main ambitions of this meeting is to position Senegal as a digital hub in Africa. Through its new technology policy, the country seeks to attract investments and develop innovative solutions in strategic areas. The Gates Foundation, known for its support of global development initiatives, is a key partner in this transformation.

The partnership between Senegal and the Gates Foundation could thus accelerate the development of technologies adapted to local challenges, while strengthening vital sectors such as agriculture and sanitation, in line with the country's objectives for sustainable development.

This meeting is part of the commitments made at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79), where Senegal reaffirms its role as a leader in technological innovation in Africa.
