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.

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.

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/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.

Almost every Western media outlet.

I know they are very hard to make and use but I wish resistance had many more anti aircraft systems
'In its latest statement, Hezbollah declares its official entry into the war' – Channel 12 (Israeli news)
I haven't seen this from a Hezbollah source yet but Israel are reporting it. Not sure. Could be false but uhhh kinda looks like a war to me.
Sirens and warnings going off in a lot of areas of Israel, expecting a lot more strikes.
Another morning, another day of Israel ruining the news cycle with their genocidal war crimes. So tired of their bullshit, I just want to read about horserace electoralism and laugh at malding chuds and libs.
Israel's """"targeted"""" strikes in the city of Beirut.

I have a hard time believing this video is real but I'll let you judge. Israel intercepting a drone.
The part I find weird is the range they shoot it down from.

BBC correspondent in Haifa:
Massive destruction in Haifa, and the size of the missiles is large. It is not possible to talk about the large number of dead and wounded (due to military censorship). Haifa is witnessing a large displacement, while the mayor appeals not to evacuate Haifa
Watched some local news here in the EU and got to hear a lieutenant or something from a military academy being interviewed say that Iran doesn't want a direct confrontation with Israel, but wants to fight Israel "to the last Hezbollah member"
Hezbollah In defense of Lebanon and its people, our fighters bombed the Megiddo military airport west of Afula with a barrage of Fadi-1 and Fadi-2 missiles.
bombed the Ramat David airbase with a barrage of Fadi-2 missiles.
targeted the Amos base (the main base for transportation and logistical support in the northern region) with a salvo of Fadi 1 missiles.

Hezbollah confirms top commander in ‘full health’ after latest Israeli strike on Beirut
Denmark's authoritarian Social Democrat leader Mette Frederiksen has weighed in on how to solve "the conflict in the Middle East".
According to her, the "only viable" way to go is the so-called "two-state solution", the liberal fatamorgana that neither indigenous Palestinians nor the zionist settlers wants. She claims that this will "Reassure 'Israel' that the country exists and that it's people can be safe" and that "the Palestinian people also get a state". She did not elaborate on whether that Palestinian state should have similar reassurances.
However, in the words of government broadcaster DR: "Hamas does not recognize that 'Israel' should even be there and the current 'Israeli' government are against a two-state solution". However, the Danish leader knows what to do, the "international community" should simply "take over and say that this is not just a matter for the middle east, it is a matter for the entire world and therefore we must force a two-state solution through."
I am happy to be governed by adults in the room making realistic and workable policies instead of dreaming up naive idealist castles in the sky.
Hezbollah:
Since 4 am this morning, Hezbollah has targeted the following:
-
🇮🇱 The IDF's 'Amos' logistical base for the Northern Command, with Fadi-1 rockets.
-
🇮🇱 An explosive materials factory in the 'Zikhron' area, with Fadi rockets.
-
🇮🇱 'Meggiddo' military airport west of Afula, with Fadi-2 rockets.
-
🇮🇱 Kiryat Shmona settlement, with 'lob bombs'.
-
🇮🇱 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.

The Cradle UPDATE | Lebanese Health Ministry:
"The number of victims of the Israeli aggression has risen to 558 martyrs, including 50 children, 94 women, and 1,835 wounded."
