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.
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.

Сообщение Совинформбюро!
Hi!
I’m here to publish the list of proposals, made both by the mod team in internal discussions and from proposals made by users last week, to be voted on by the news heads.
The process will be quite simple. Below this comment will be a series of comments from me.
They will follow the format of…
<Proposal Comment>
-
YES VOTE
-
NO VOTE
If you agree with the proposal, upvote the comment with NO VOTE.
The voting margin to pass a proposal as approved shall be with a minimum floor of 36 upvotes, based on the rounded rough average of megathread upvotes of popular comments divided in half. Should a proposal be passed but prove to be controversial by also receiving a no vote of at least 26 votes, the proposal shall be tabled and reworked for presentation at a future megathread should the need arise.
Additionally, the floor will still be open to new proposals with a caveat that the minimum floor for acceptance for deliberation by the council of news mods shall be 31 upvotes. This is just in case someone is struck by the lightning of inspiration and wants to bring up an idea to shape the comm in a better direction.
The polls are now open.
Semper post, news hogs.
Edit: P.S, I know some of the proposals are kinda scuffed looking, if they pass I’ll format them so they look like the others on the rule sidebar. chalk it up to my laziness lol
Edit 2: P.P.S Pig poop balls.
The voting period shall last until the megathread is locked.
It has officially started, no words can describe the feeling in my heart right now. I have lots to say to Iran and the Axis, but this is not the time nor place. May God keep everyone home in Lebanon safe and strengthen their resolve. It has felt inevitable for months now, but I hate that we’re so close to winter with how cold it gets in Lebanon. My aunties in Beirut started gathering supplies a few days ago, they have plenty of canned goods and stuff like rice stored now. My stubborn communist uncle was a “nothing ever happens guy” though so we’re grilling him in the family group chat now. My cousin is home in Beirut now, we were worried for him because he works in Tyre which will most likely be pulverised by the Zionists. May God give us the chance to witness the total destruction of this cancerous entity.
Waiting for a response for any message in the family group chat right now is fucking torture, I literally can’t deal with it anymore. I’ve sent my wife and the kid to her mom’s for a few days, they can’t see me and my dad like this. The two hours it took for my uncle to see the message and respond today were absolute hell, fuck this life. My aunt has little kids no older than 14, what if something happens. I’ve called my cousin from my mom’s side who has a little farm outside of Damascus in Syria, he can take in my dad’s family from Beirut, but how the fuck will they even leave with this situation, and my cousin is already dirt poor, how will he feed them. Too many thoughts spinning, nowhere to scream them out, nowhere to go and nothing to do, I almost wish I was there.
In June I wrote: “I suspect thay sometime between July and September the US-israeli zionist forces in occupied Palestine will begin a massive operation in Lebanon against Hezbollah. … If I’m wrong about this I’ll eat my shoe.”
Well, yesterday Hezbollah launched the most rockets in a single day since 2006 and on Monday the zionosts killed the most Lebanese in a single day since 2006. No shoe eating.
Khalil Nasrallah clarifies the change:
America officially announces sending more SS stormtroopers to the region.
I don’t think most English speakers realize how absolutely screwed the zionist entity is at the moment. Hezbollah has expanded the circle of fire to include Haifa which means that between 25-35% of the entire industrial capacity of the entity is now under threat. Even if they don’t strike the factories it is enough to stop them from receiving raw materials and having workers run the machines. Haifa also houses their oil refineries 😈🚀💥🔥
The occupiers have no choice now. They must invade with a ground operation in the next 6 months and they will subsequently be eviscerated by the Soldiers of God Insha’Allah.
Iraq is also about to become a major player in the support front in the coming weeks and months. The new fatwa from His Eminence Sayyed Ali Sistani is a game changer. For those who don’t understand why, as a Grand Marja, it was his fatwa in 2014 that enabled the creation of the Hashd al Shabi to defeat Daesh. A hundred million Shia Muslims are now religiously obligated to engage in “every possible effort to stop this barbaric aggression and defend the people of Lebanon”. It is difficult to understate the importance of this.
Prepare for a barrage of horrific nazi war crimes from the atlanto-zionists and an equal magnitude of bravery, resilience, and strategic/tactical ingenuity from the resistance. The war for the Liberation of Palestine and all of West Asia is now happening. It will be a long and brutal one.
Pray for peace for the martyrs, a quick recovery to the wounded, and a triumphant victory for the Resistance.
Today my heart broke because that guy I posted about, whom I’m helping and trying to find more donors, I asked him what will they do if this https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/22/middleeast/netanyahu-gaza-hamas-expulsions-plan-intl/index.html happens. He told me they’re tired, exhausted and staying on north, that he wishes to die because he’s tired of seeing death… I broke. I literally broke and cried until I knocked myself with xanax because it was unbearable. I was practically saying goodbye to him and his family today. Three months, we knew each other three months, we shared our thoughts, I would comfort him, he would comfort me… A part of me died today. Saying goodbye to him was one of the most hurtful thing to experience for me. He is my friend and my friend told me he’s waiting to die and if Netanyahu does this, they’re staying to die. He told me not to be sad, which made me sob even harder.
Damn fucking Israel and damn fucking USA. I wish Netanyahu, his government, his army and his settlers that Israel collapses, that they lose everything and one by one gets mysteriously shot in the head. Fuck you, Biden! Netanyahu, choke! I hate you all so much, I wish you all die in a stampedo of people who will beat you to death. One of those foots in the head is mine. Drop dead, scum, I wish you nothing but death and death of your families, that your seed disappears, like my Palestinians lost everything, like they’ll never have children and future. FUCK YOU!!!
I have a friend from Lebanon, I haven’t heard from him in months. I don’t know what’s with his family in Lebanon, is he ok…
Fucking Israel is taking everything from us. We’re maybe tertiary victim of this, but we are also victims. One year we’re watching this genocide, nothing was solved, it’s even worse now and now they mutilated Lebanese men and bombing their land. We’re empty, depressed, defeated and helpless together with the primary victims. Nothing we did didn’t made Biden to fucking get Israel at its place. It’s only worse.
Israel will be dead, Palestine will be free. Fuck you, Zionists, fuck off and die and choke in your blood. Monsters. Nothing but monsters and scum.
