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.

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.

Palestine (Palestinian Authority) at the UN: «Stop Sending Weapons to Israel» - Telesur English

Article

He called for the suspension of Israel’s membership in the United Nations. He demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the attacks of the occupiers in the West Bank.

Palestinian National Authority (PNA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called for sanctions against the Zionist entity in the ongoing genocide it is committing against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Abbas spoke at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly. He rose to the podium in the midst of sustained applause and thus began his speech: We will not leave. Palestine is our homeland, the home of our parents and grandparents, and it will remain ours. If anyone has to leave, it must be the usurpers».

He called for the suspension of Israel’s membership in the United Nations. He demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the attacks of the occupiers in the West Bank. He further stated that the State of Palestine will exercise full sovereignty over Gaza and begin its reconstruction once the occupiers have withdrawn from there.

He stated that his people for almost a year have been the object of one of the most heinous crimes in history, by the genocidal war perpetrated by Israel, which to date has killed more than 40,000 martyrs in Gaza alone, with thousands still under the rubble and more than 100,000 injured. He detailed that the occupation killed more than 15,000 children.

He urged the international community to stop the genocide and held it responsible for what is happening in the occupied territories of Palestine. «Stop sending weapons to Israel», he urged.

It also denounced the illegal construction of settlements in the West Bank, the destruction of hundreds of homes of the Arab population and the systematic and violent attacks against Palestinian civilians by occupation soldiers or settlers.

He said that hundreds of Palestinian families have been annihilated and their names have disappeared from the civil registry. Thousands of people have died as a result of the spread of disease, epidemics and lack of medicines and water. Thousands have had to move repeatedly in search of safety, fleeing Israeli aggression.

He demanded the arrest of members of the Zionist cabinet who want to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build a Hebrew temple there, and reiterated that al-Aqsa belongs to the Muslims. «Instead of opening itself to reason, Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza and recently opened another criminal chapter by attacking Lebanon. We demand that it be terminated immediately».

«If the Zionist entity believes that it will be free from accountability for its massacres and genocide since 1948 to today, he is wrong», he admitted.

Also held the U.S. accountable. by using the veto to obstruct resolutions in the agency’s Security Council, which demanded an immediate ceasefire from Israel.

He questioned the White House for providing funds and deadly weapons to the Zionist entity, with which it massacred thousands of women and children. Recalled that the U.S. also voted against giving Palestine full membership in the UN: Why the U.S. Why not. Does it take away from our people the legitimate right to be free?» he questioned.

Similarly, he called for the creation of an international peacekeeping force between Palestine and Israel after the end of the current siege on the occupied territories to ensure the security of both states.
