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.

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.

The Russian Federation strongly condemns the political assassination of the Hezbollah leader committed by Israel, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The ministry noted that the Russian Federation strongly urges Israel to immediately cease hostilities. Israel bears full responsibility for any subsequent escalation.

People ask how has the resistance in Gaza suffered less security and intelligence threats than the resistance in Lebanon? Gaza does not have a US embassy.

A young man from Burkina Faso named Yannick Laurent Bado has created the first fully African-owned tyre brand, JEPEB. The company is set to produce 40,000 tyres per year that can handle rough African roads and off-road terrain for the African market which, up until now, has been dominated by imports.

Brazil will present a Chinese-Brazilian peace plan for Ukraine to the countries of the Global South by the end of the week, Reuters reports.

The meeting, which will take place on September 27 in New York, is expected to include Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE and other countries from the Global South. Representatives of European countries were not invited to the meeting.

The meeting will be chaired by Brazil's top foreign policy adviser, Celso Amorim, who will try to persuade those present to support the six-point Brazil-China plan. In particular, this concerns an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation and the beginning of peace negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq threatens the UAE:
https://xcancel.com/Seamus_Malek/status/1839410871325630859

The leader of the Sayyid ash-Shuhada Brigades, part of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, directly threatens the UAE, saying it is the "first line of fire" if a larger war erupts, and that the militia's drones, which have reached Israel, can easily reach "alternative locations".

Our beloved mayor has been indicted for taking bribes from Turkish officials. 2024 is such a wild timeline. Adams is a piece of shit, basically his entire staff has already resigned because the FBI kept raiding their homes, and he's still pledging not to resign. Pretty hilarious stuff.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Thursday on charges that he took illegal campaign contributions and bribes from foreign nationals, including lavish overseas trips, in exchange for favors that included helping Turkish officials bypass a fire inspection for a new diplomatic tower in the city.

Adams, a Democrat and former police captain, faces conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery charges in a five-count indictment outlining a decade-long trail of corruption that began when he served as an elected official in Brooklyn and continued through his mayoral administration.

US base in Syria got got

The US Conoco occupation base in northern Deir Ezzor, #Syria, came under heavy missile and drone bombardment, according to #AlMayadeen's correspondent.

Our correspondent in #Baghdad reported that a missile barrage struck the headquarters of the armored division of US troops stationed at the occupied Conoco oil field, in a direct hit against US military facilities.

Hezbollah:

Since 4 am this morning, Hezbollah has targeted the following:

  1. 🇮🇱 The IDF's 'Amos' logistical base for the Northern Command, with Fadi-1 rockets.

  2. 🇮🇱 An explosive materials factory in the 'Zikhron' area, with Fadi rockets.

  3. 🇮🇱 'Meggiddo' military airport west of Afula, with Fadi-2 rockets.

  4. 🇮🇱 Kiryat Shmona settlement, with 'lob bombs'.

  5. 🇮🇱 Logistical warehouses of the IDF's 146th Division at 'Naftali' base with a missile barrage.

The vague "Kiryat Shmona settlement" is the most interesting one they listed here as it's just outright targeting of the settlement. It's also the one we have the most videos of impacts.

Following the assassination of Sheikh Nasrallah, Iran said it could send troops to Lebanon, NBC reports.

"Officials will certainly give permission for the deployment of troops in Lebanon and the Golan Heights," said Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan Akhtari, Iran's deputy minister for international affairs.

"We can send troops to Lebanon to fight Israel, as we did in 1981," he added.

I hope everyone gets the chance to take a deep breath today and maybe step out to touch grass for a bit.

Nasrallah's death is heavy news whether you're an optimist or a pessimist. It doesn't do the Resistance any favors, but it's also not going to kill the will to fight.

It is going to get people like us emotional and heated though. Conflicts are rarely smooth affairs and while this is a big hit, it's also not the first setback. That's how it goes, whether the path leads to victory or defeat. Sacrifice is inevitable. Be sure to take care of yourself if the situation is getting you stressed out. And if you have the energy, don't forget to support any comrades who may be taking this extra hard for whatever reason.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 62 points 1 month ago (2 children)

NBC claiming a Hezbollah spokesperson was on Iranian TV today saying that Nasrallah was not in the buildings struck and is fine.

This is from one of those scrolling news feeds with no added context or proof so take with a grain of salt. Hopefully true though

If Hezbollah focuses their strikes on the Israeli electrical grid, they could benefit from the West's shortage of electrical equipment (that Ukraine also urgently needs).

If they do it slowly and methodically, they can possibly avoid giving the US a reason to intervene.

News alert from NRK (Norwegian state media), published a few minutes ago:

Norwegian in [pager explosion] case is wanted internationally

The Norwegian [Rinson Jose] who is connected to the sale of exploding pagers in Lebanon was yesterday officially reported missing. On Thursday, Kripos [The National Criminal Investigation Service] issued an international wanted notice for the person, the police said.

On Monday, NRK could report that the Norwegian was still not back at work. The employer said they were going to have a meeting with the police to report him missing.

Apparently no one, including his friends and family, has heard from him since the first terror attack in Lebanon. Rinson got on a plane for a business trip to Boston the day of the attack, but never checked into his hotel or showed up at the conference he was there to attend. All traces of him ends in the U.S.

Friends and family claim they had no knowledge of the firm (Norta Global) he was running in Bulgaria. Rinson's social media profiles only shows him running a company called NortaLink, which is based in Norway. His profile also shows up on Founders Nation, a website that aims to connect Israeli entrepreneurs and co-founders.

Hasan Nasrallah died on the road to liberate Palestine

Amid the rapidly changing situation and the torrent of emotions after a year of livestreamed genocide in Gaza, now being extended by Israel to Lebanon, it is hard to maintain a long view. But doing so is essential for sound analysis.

It is worth remembering this: In almost any asymmetrical war, when the strongest side – the invader or colonizer – goes on the offensive, it often appears to achieve quick and stunning success.

STATEMENT by Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Khamenei:

The Zionist criminals should know that they are too small to cause significant damage to the strong construction of Hezbollah in Lebanon. All the resistance forces in the region are with Hezbollah & support it.

The fate of this region will be determined by the resistance forces & at the head of them is the proud Hezbollah.

Today, Lebanon, by the grace and power of God, will make the malicious and disgraceful aggressor regret its actions.

It is the duty of all Muslims to stand with the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah, using all their resources, and to assist them in their confrontation with the usurping, oppressive, and vile regime.


EDIT: Another version that seems more reliable and thorough:

— 🇮🇷 The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khamenei, has released a statement:

'The killing of defenseless people in Lebanon, on the one hand, once again revealed the ferocity of the Zionist rabid dogs to everyone, and on the other hand, it proved the short-sightedness and idiotic policy of the leaders of the usurping regime. The terrorist gang ruling the Zionist regime did not learn from their one-year criminal war in Gaza and failed to understand that the mass killing of women, children and civilians cannot affect the strong structure of the resistance's organization and destroy it. Now they are trying the same foolish policy in Lebanon.

The Zionist criminals should know that they are too small to cause significant damage to the strong structure of Hezbollah in Lebanon. All the resistance forces of the region are with Hezbollah and support it. The fate of this region will be determined by the resistance forces and at the head of them is the proud Hezbollah.

The people of Lebanon have not forgotten that once upon a time, the military of the Zionist regime used to put Beirut under their boots. It was Hezbollah that cut off their legs and made Lebanon free and proud. Even today Lebanon will make the aggressor and evil dark enemies regret their actions.

It is obligatory for all Muslims to stand proudly with the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah with all their resources and help it in confronting the usurping, cruel and evil regime.

Institute for the Study of War, an imperialist think thank wrote:

Iran, Hezbollah, and the rest of the Axis of Resistance appear to be preparing for an Israeli ground operation into Lebanon. The IDF has observed around 40,000 Iranian-backed Iraqi, Syrian, and Houthi militants concentrate around the Syrian border with the Golan Heights, according to Israeli media. It is unclear why and when the Axis of Resistance deployed these militants or whether they were already in the area.

I remember reading an article from an Iranian outlet that Iran's response to Haniyeh assassination isn't necessarily aerial and it could be on the ground like opening a new front in Syria. Now I see what happened.
