The Cradle: How Lebanon's resistance defied Israeli dominance, again

Iran is apparently requesting opposition groups for safe passage out of Syria. If Iran is giving up on their land bridge to Hezbollah it's JOEVER. Homs has fallen, Heseke and Qamishlo were handed to SDF, and Damascus is basically hours or days from fighting for the presidential palace

Currently in Doha, Qatar, the foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey, and Iran are discussing the situation in Syria. Syrian rebels are launching offensives in cities across the country in an effort to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

Israel sure ain't wasting any time, dammit

Where can I get more info about the DPRK’s internal workings and why does the party general secretary appear hereditary?

HTS have a Pantsir AA system by the way, on top of other modern IGLA variants abandoned by the SAA. Just seen a video of them downing a Damascus govt helo.

They'll probably get some T-72s and T-90s in the coming days because the SAA rolled them up To Hama and then tried to do a blitzkrieg without any fucking fuel and left most of their tanks in pristine condition on the side of the highway.

EDIT: Emergency talks in Baghdad tomorrow morning to discuss a potential joint military intervention between Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

A United States Navy P8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft is currently observing the Russia airbase in Latakia, as Russian transport aircraft continue to leave.

Iranian jets, both from Mahan Air and the IRGC, continue to also make evacuation flights. C5SKY, the private jet that was suspected to be used by the Syrian government for evacuation flights to the UAE over the past few days, was also spotted, and followed by US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, again.

South Korea: Martial law troops storm Lee Jae-myung's office... Attempting to arrest Han Dong-hoon and Woo" -Yonhap

Several uprisings have broken out simultaneously in Daraa province in southern Syria, which borders the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Local radicals, inspired by the victories of militants in Hama and Homs , captured several villages, took weapons and equipment from local soldiers and police, including armored vehicles and even tanks, and took them prisoner.

This region has always been problematic and was considered the "cradle of the revolution", which was brought back under control only after heavy fighting and a series of successive processes of application with the removal of the most inveterate radicals. But it is obvious that in Daraa there were still many opponents of Assad, who have now raised their heads.

Danish Cyber Warfare Agency Crippled By Austerity

Denmark’s Center for Cybersecurity (CFCS), responsible for surveillance of citizens and defending national IT infrastructure, is grappling with severe austerity measures that threaten its operational effectiveness. The cuts come despite daily reports of cyberattacks on Danish institutions and a self-declared "very high" cyber threat level.

The austerity, driven by overspending within the Nordic hermit kingdom's scandal-ridden spy agency FE—to which CFCS belongs—has led to hiring freezes, mandatory overtime compensation through time off, and the suspension of essential activities such as inspections, international collaboration, and participation in knowledge-sharing conferences. Additionally, CFCS has canceled nearly all professional subscriptions, curbing access to vital cybersecurity developments.

The economic mismanagement stems from FE’s overestimation of future funding under a new political defense agreement, leaving the agency with a DKK 118 million budget shortfall. Despite being at a level of paranoia not seen since the Cold War, the Danish state still adheres to neoliberal budgetary orthodoxy, forcing cost-cutting across CFCS. These measures, combined with red tape and uncertainties in transferring CFCS to a new Ministry for Civil Security and Preparedness, have left the organization in disarray.

Experts warn that the cuts will hinder Denmark's ability to address cyber threats, jeopardize critical infrastructure, and risk the loss of skilled personnel.

Vice-Chair Of Denmark's Naturalization Committee Resigns In Protest Over Racist Interviews

Helene Brydensholt, MP for the small green radlib "Alternative" party and vice-chair of the Integration and Naturalization Committee in Denmark's rubber-stamp parliament, has resigned in protest against new "mindset interviews" being conducted for the first time as part of the Danish citizenship process. These interviews target three applicants who, despite meeting all stated criteria for citizenship, have been singled out for questioning by the parliamentary committee about their "democratic mindset" due to controversial social media posts. Legal experts have warned that the interviews violates several basic legal principles and can be in violation of international law.

Machine translated tweet by IDF military correspondent

Increased military preparedness in the Golan Heights area: Following the fall of the Assad regime - the IDF and the Northern Command launched an attack in the buffer zone in the Quneitra area, in order to strengthen the defense of the border.

In accordance with the assessment of the situation by the Northern Command and the Home Front Command, it was decided that in the four Druze communities in the Golan Heights there will be no school classes today. Learning will be allowed in kindergartens. In the rest of the Golan Heights, classes are taking place as usual.

The IDF is deploying checkpoints along the Golan Heights. Movement in the area will be restricted as necessary. All agricultural areas adjacent to the Syrian border have been declared a closed military area, and farmers' entry there will be restricted.

No changes to the force posture of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK). -Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. General Pat Ryde. Pentagon: No posture changes within North Korea with the ongoing turmoil in South Korea

The loss of Syria creates a countdown for Hezbollah's collapse, probably a year or two, maybe even three, logistics is the god of war and cut off from Iranian supplies while simultaneously fighting off HTS/Israeli attacks and the political maneuvering of the French elites in Beirut is not something any org no matter how internally cohesive can sustain forever, and the new reality in Syria is definitely the beginning of a decades long process, which is too long for a Leningrad style siege

Nazi Germany Amnesty International says: "Treblinka,Sobibor? Never heard of"

Amnesty International’s Israel branch has distanced itself from the rights group’s allegation that Israel was committing “genocide” in Gaza, but said “serious crimes” were potentially taking place that needed investigation.

The local branch, which operates as a separate charity from the international organisation, said in a statement: “While the Israeli section of Amnesty International does not accept the accusation that Israel is committing genocide, based on the information available to us, we are concerned that serious crimes are being committed in Gaza, that must be investigated.” Israeli soldiers in the southern Gaza Strip Israel’s war in Gaza amounts to genocide, Amnesty International report finds Read more

The 296-page report, examining events in Gaza between October 2023 to July 2024, found that Israel had “brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell” on the strip’s 2.3 million population, noting that the “atrocity crimes” against Israelis by Hamas on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war, “do not justify genocide”.

While its publication was largely welcomed by Palestinians and humanitarian groups, it was met with fury in Israel. “The deplorable and fanatical organisation Amnesty International has produced a fabricated report that is entirely false and based on lies,” Israel’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

The United States said it disagreed with the conclusions of the report. “We have said previously and continue to find that the allegations of genocide are unfounded,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters.

Multiple attempts to broker a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the war in Gaza, now raging for 14 months, have failed, although mediator Qatar said on Thursday it would resume its role, raising tentative hopes that progress could be made in fresh negotiations.

Egypt, another major mediator, has put forward a proposal involving a temporary ceasefire lasting 45-60 days, with a staged hostage release and prisoner swap. A Hamas delegation met with Egyptian negotiators in Cairo earlier this week, and Israel is considering sending its own delegation in the next few days – the most movement on talks since the last round collapsed in August.

The Egyptian proposal also suggests that the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority take control of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which Israel seized in May, and a substantial increase in the supply of aid. An average of 50 trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel in November, UN data shows. Aid agencies say at least 500 are needed to meet the population’s needs amid a dire humanitarian crisis and the approach of winter.

In Gaza, at least 39 people were killed by Israeli fire in the preceding 24 hours, according to medics, including at least 20 who died when an overnight airstrike set alight cooking gas canisters and tents tents housing displaced families in what Israel has dubbed a “humanitarian zone”. Israel said the strike targeted senior Hamas operatives, whom it did not identify.

Other Israeli strikes reported on Thursday hit Gaza City, where medics said an airstrike destroyed a house where an extended family had taken shelter and damaged two nearby homes, killing at least three people.

Residents searched for loved ones and belongings among the charred wreckage in Mawasi, a coastal area in the south of the strip, where hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to seek shelter.

At a funeral for those killed in Mawasi in nearby Khan Younis, Abu Anas Mustafa told Reuters that the Amnesty report was “a victory for Palestinian diplomacy”, although he said it “came late”.

“It is the 430th day of the war today, and Israel has been carrying out massacres and a genocide from the first 10 days of the war,” he said.
