Bulletins and News Discussion from September 23rd to September 29th, 2024 - The War In The North
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.

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/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.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.

Institute for the Study of War, an imperialist think thank wrote:
Iran, Hezbollah, and the rest of the Axis of Resistance appear to be preparing for an Israeli ground operation into Lebanon. The IDF has observed around 40,000 Iranian-backed Iraqi, Syrian, and Houthi militants concentrate around the Syrian border with the Golan Heights, according to Israeli media. It is unclear why and when the Axis of Resistance deployed these militants or whether they were already in the area.
I remember reading an article from an Iranian outlet that Iran's response to Haniyeh assassination isn't necessarily aerial and it could be on the ground like opening a new front in Syria. Now I see what happened.
I just wanted to add onto what you said, there was also this from like two weeks ago or whenever, but this more so related to Iraq however
Sayyed Al-Shuhada Brigades chief: Several resistance fronts ready to execute joint operations against Israel, allies https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/13/733175/‘Several-resistance-fronts-ready-to-execute-operations-against-Israel,-allies
and some highlights from it
A high-ranking Iraqi resistance official says there will be a new phase with coordination between several Islamic resistance fronts for executing operations against Israel and its allies.
He noted that the second stage of military operations was bombing within the occupied territories, and then the third stage moved towards joint operations with Yemen.
“The joint operations between Yemen and Iraq were astonishing for the enemy, and they expressed concern,” he said.
The official said that the resistance officials “are moving toward a fourth stage, which involves coordinating actions across multiple fronts and conducting joint operations in more than one area.”
“There will be a new phase with coordination between several fronts for executing operations,” he stated.
“In the coming days, we will witness joint military operations,” he revealed.
I didn't know Iraqis were in Jenin during 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Interesting.
It is unclear why and when the Axis of Resistance deployed these militants
How tf you call yourself institute for war study or w/e and you're asking this? Fuck man idk maybe there is a carnival or smsht.
It's a fucking mystery why they're there
also of note are that the egyptian air force is buying chinese now and the algerians have been fairly close militarily with russia as of 2022 when they did their joint drills near gibraltar
will be interesting to see how these two turn out when shit does hit the fan
Egypt is a wildcard but most likely those weapons are meant to be used against rebels in Sudan and Ethiopia. Egypt knows that Israel eventually wants to carve out a South Lebanon style coptic state though so who knows.

Search coptic, the yinon plan might just be pie in the sky stuff though.
