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.

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.

    Yes this was stated in a speech by Nasrallah if u can find archives of it. He emphasized many times that this conflict is about days, weeks, months, and years and that they will make israel pay, but in a way that they can guarantee victory.

    It is not just the nuclear arsenal but also US involvement. If the US military gets involved the death toll rises unimaginably on all fronts, so the plan is to bleed the zionist state dry without giving the US any opportunity to play “hero” until it becomes politically unreasonable for the US to commit/becomes possible for the Resistance to win outright in direct confrontation. On the US/Israel side, the strategy is to provoke the biggest resistance fronts (lebanon/iran mainly) into an offensive that gives them political license to enter on the world stage without looking like the aggressor. Theres a good RAND corp document detailing this strategy in regards to Iran and every other strategy the US aligned forces have used against Iran called i believe “the paths to persia” or something like that.

      It was from the Brookings Institute - from page 163

      Indeed, for this same reason, efforts to promote regime change in Iran might be intended by the U.S. government as deliberate provocations to try to goad the Iranians into an excessive response that might then justify an American invasion.

      Of course these plans don’t factor in Europe’s collapse into fascism. There is are still large jewish populations in Britain, France and to a much smaller extent Germany who might leave their countries as they start to collapse.

        “of course”? you think that the resistance hasn’t considered the west’s fascistic turn? there is no world where they haven’t considered these things and have as a result put together the best plan of action that takes these things into account.

        no western jewish person is going to want to flee to an israel losing its global prestige, geopolitical and economic hegemony, and under constant and only increasing threat of dying in a war on 5 fronts. the longer that the resistance plays their cards right the win conditions only come closer, and with a collapsing empire comes a collapsing ability to enforce that empire.

        and go where? the war torn promised land? they’re gonna kevlar up and get an ak and get to work? learn how to pilot a drone? yea rite

        and why would just “da j00z” leave these countries as they start to collapse? anyone and everyone who has a means to leave will leave, and most aren’t gonna downgrade from a collapsed state to a literal warzone.

          I read the second collapse reference as tied to the first - the collapse into fascism.

          I don’t think many regular Jewish people would seriously consider moving to Israel unless conditions in Europe look to be sufficiently intolerable.

          It’s not hard to envision a “go back to where they came from” campaign against Jewish Europeans.

          You say that but in late stage capitalism never underestimate the allure of free land and free state subsidies. Basically as France and the UK go to shit, people are going to start leaving, it is actually already starting in France to a minor extent.
