I see comrades who say they use Telegram to get information all the time but it's hard to find credible sources there. I'd like some recommendations that you can vouch for.

Edit: I was thanking everybody individually but I'm gonna stop so I don't spam

I personally use telegram a lot for Arabic speaking sources, but there are a lot of good english sources and channels with english translations. Unfortunately, some of the best channels were banned in the US including Resistance News Network and the official al-Qassam communications channel. Besides that, I have found a couple official channels including:

  • Spokesperson for the Yemeni Forces, Yahya Saree (sp) - mostly in Arabic but also posts english translations of most statements - https://t.me/army21ye
  • Official English channel for Hezbollah - https://t.me/mmirlb

News Publications:

Another one I look at sometimes is Red Alerts which is a bot that posts a screenshot of a map with an area highlighted each time an air raid siren in Israel goes off. It goes off a LOT.

Just to give a warning, for both conflicts, telegram is FULL of internet personalities who have no real way of verifying information and profit off the fog of war. Some of those channels are useful but it's very easy to get sucked into an engagement spiral because they frequently share each other's channels & stuff. Thats why I mostly only linked official publications.

Hope this helps!
