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

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.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

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.

The marches led by the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, are advancing in the country. The march has already lasted six days and clashes with followers of President Luis Arce have increased. Arce denounces a coup attempt by Evo.

8 people have already died. The march, according to Evo Morales, is for justice and freedom. The former president of Bolivia accuses his former Dauphin of being a traitor, after breaking with the movement linked to him, and taking over the leadership of the party.

Morales accuses Arce of being behind the decision that banned him from running in the 2025 elections. Bolivian President Luis Arce, together with his vice-president David Choquehuanca, announced on national television that they have accepted the invitation of the Defender of the People, an independent office in Bolivia, for an unconditional dialogue with former president Evo Morales.

The dialog would be an attempt to end a political crisis that arose internally within the Movement towards Socialism (MAS) after a rupture between Arce and the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales.

We will see what kind of agreement Arce and Evo will make. I really hope they end this crisis and choose a strong leftist candidate for the next election.

Israel struck the Kola intersection in Beirut, which is well outside of the southern Shia neighborhoods, and is the deepest they have struck into Lebanon in decades.

Very conflicting reports on Nasrallah, reuters are saying their Hezbollah source says he's alive. One Israeli report is also claiming that the commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon was present at the meeting with Nasrallah.

EDIT: Fed accounts are all saying dead.

They’re paid monthly rent by Hezbollah to host this launcher and be prepared to shoot rockets at Israel communities on demand.

Can somebody point me to any good resources about the relationship between Russia and Syria? It looks like another proxy front is going to open up there, and if NATO is starting to pressure Zelensky to reach a settlement I assume Russia can just flood it with weapons. Basically a reverse Operation Cyclone. The wartime economy has also been pretty good to Russia

Slate interviewed a reporter in Lebanon. Of course such interviews are fairly rare in the American media. They make Israel look bad. The article is from two days ago - I think interviews over days where condensed.

Lebanon Israel war: She watched the pager attacks unfold. She almost can't believe what she's seeing now.

A Lebanese reporter began last week covering pagers that blew up across the country. She almost can’t believe what she’s seeing now.

Algerian state has filed a complaint with the Paris judiciary against the European MP Sarah Knafo of the “Reconquête” party.

MEP Sarah Knafo is the partner of Eric Zemmour, who has been convicted several times on racial hatred charges and is known for his anti-immigration and anti-Algerian stances in particular.

looked it up, she said Fr*nce sent 800million to Algeria and 120million to China each year article is in fr&nch just translate it.

I wonder whether the war/escalation in Lebanon is being timed. Netanyahu knows he needs to keep the war going, which basically means the Israeli state's broadened rampage across Southwest Asia, taking advantage of the unwavering support of the US.

The US presidential election is less than 40 days away, making this one of very few times that could make war a sensitive issue. An escalation now might be an October Surprise to tip the scales towards Trump, and anger the Biden/Harris administration which might end up somewhat constraining its support in retaliation.

But once the election is decided, the war will only have a minute effect on the fortunes of American politicians. Biden's approval rating started to tank as soon as the retreat from Afghanistan happened, and never fully recovered, but in the long run it was better for the Democrats to get the geopolitical embarrassment out of the way at the beginning of the term, so that the electorate would have enough time to start caring about it.

In a parallel vein, I wouldn't be surprised if the IDF are going to strategically time an invasion of Lebanon to a few days after the election. No matter which party wins, it will be less politically risky, as they know they'll be able to count on the support of Trump of Harris as soon as the chips fall.

The pager attack and now getting their leadership taken out - Hezbollah must be heavily compromised. And that means those Israeli air strikes probably have been hitting weapons stockpiles. Meanwhile Iran has shown it’s not willing to escalate under any circumstances. A very bad situation.

Iraq at the UN: The Security Council has Failed to Maintain the Peace. - Telesur English

Article

Iraq’s prime minister, Mohammed Shia’al Sudani, said on Thursday that the Security Council has failed to achieve its main objective: maintaining peace.

“Ending the violations against Palestine is everyone’s responsibility,” said the High Representative of Iraq, while stressing that above all, the Security Council has not achieved its main objective: to maintain peace.

In insisting that Israel is violating the principles of the UN Security Council and the UN Charter, the Iraqi premier said we are witnessing people being attacked by an occupying military force, killing thousands. Talk of famine to eliminate people, he insisted.

In this regard, the Iraqi politician stressed that important principles such as sovereignty and territorial integrity, international humanitarian law and self-determination are under threat in the current context.

The people of Palestine have been denied their right to live in dignity, said the politician, claiming that it guarantees Israel’s impunity. International law is left on paper, he reflected, with the annexation of territories.

He made a critical analysis of the brutal campaign with remote bombing technologies without taking into account that there are unarmed civilians. Similarly, he denounced the new brutal aggression against Lebanon.

Mohammed Shia’al Sudani also declared that his country would provide whatever assistance it could to Lebanon to overcome the effects of this attack, while firmly rejecting occupation and standing up for people’s rights.

“We note that relief agencies in the occupied territories are being attacked,” said the Prime Minister, while underlining that this session is taking place at a difficult time in the Middle East and the world which is being pushed into a large-scale conflict, while the Council is powerless.

Mohammed Shia’al Sudani stressed that this is a difficult test of the world order that threatens its existence.
