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.

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/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.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.

    The US is already losing the region, that’s why they are going all out with it.

    Biden chose the nuclear option when they provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, which completely and permanently changed the geopolitical dynamics of the surrounding regions. The world is already turning against the US.

    There is no longer any option to ramp down, and the US has to ride it till the end. This is why I always said Biden is far more ruthless than any of his predecessors, because he has set a course that is no longer capable of being reversed.

      You're correct about all of that, the US really fucked itself over by not forcing their colony to stop the genocide.

      That's what happens when you have zealots and fail-sons/ -daughters running the show.

        It is untenable for the US in the long run anyway with China threatening to replace them as the global superpower.

        If the US doesn’t do anything, all these countries will lean towards China, so it really has to act now. This is why the war in Ukraine has to happen.

        Let us return to Lenin’s Imperialism written more than a hundred years ago to see why this has to happen:

        Thanks to her colonies, Great Britain has increased the length of “her” railways by 100,000 kilometres, four times as much as Germany. And yet, it is well known that the development of productive forces in Germany, and especially the development of the coal and iron industries, has been incomparably more rapid during this period than in Britain—not to speak of France and Russia. In 1892, Germany produced 4,900,000 tons of pig-iron and Great Britain produced 6,800,000 tons; in 1912, Germany produced 17,600,000 tons and Great Britain, 9,000,000 tons. Germany, therefore, had an overwhelming superiority over Britain in this respect. The question is: what means other than war could there be under capitalism to overcome the disparity between the development of productive forces and the accumulation of capital on the one side, and the division of colonies and spheres of influence for finance capital on the other?

        And before anyone thinks this spells the end of the empire - not quite. It simply means that the contradictions of capitalism will have to be resolved through warfare, and the war has only just begun. It will end with a direct confrontation with China, and it is still far too early to tell how many more lives will have to be sacrificed to preserve the US empire’s status as the sole global superpower.

          Great post gold-communist I'd like to add:

          And before anyone thinks this spells the end of the empire - not quite. It simply means that the contradictions of capitalism will have to be resolved through warfare

          WW1 and WW2 were bound to occur for that exact reason. It's no surprise (sadly) that there will be a large scale war(s) against china and her allies in the name of preserving the US's status as the global empire.

          The US was mulling over ideas on what to do with Taiwan when the inevitable happens. Do you want to know how the US is approaching the reality that they will be displaced by China?

          They talked about bombing the TSMC plant to prevent it from falling into China's grasps. The CEO of TSMC had to talk them out of it (I don't know if he was successful either.) They have no real strategy to prevent reunification, but they will make it as bloody and violent as possible. They will do their best to give China a bloody nose with zero regard for human life.

      It leads to the end of the US, but it’s likely the US will render the earth uninhabitable on the way out.
