Al Mayadeen: Following 200+ Israeli ceasefire violations, Hezbollah retaliates

The Islamic Resistance announced that it carried out a combined rocket and drone strike targeting an Israeli army artillery position in the Kfar Giladi settlement at 18:50 local time on April 21, 2026.

According to the statement, the position was identified as the source of recent artillery fire targeting the town of Yohmor al-Shqif in southern Lebanon.

The group said the operation was conducted using rockets and a swarm of one-way attack drones, and emphasized that the operation came in response to repeated Israeli violations following the ceasefire.

It added that more than 200 such violations have been recorded since the ceasefire came into effect, including strikes on civilians and the destruction of homes and villages in southern Lebanon.

They're all claiming it's an anti-AI measure

I thought Megan's Law required him to register as a Libertarian?

Well, the IOF hasn't admitted that part yet. What do we want the NYT to do, journalism? That's dangerous over there. For some reason. Unreported by the NYT.

They were also punished with the first-ever active-voice description of their crimes in the New York Times.

You call yourself nadir prey, and look like this?

AI is great. So is the fog of war. I tried to google “when does the ceasefire end” and couldn’t get an answer.

The two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire is set to expire on Tuesday evening, April 20, 2026, or Wednesday, April 22, 2026, depending on the specific source, with some reporting 8 p.m. ET Tuesday or by early Wednesday morning. The truce, announced on April 7, is on the brink of collapse due to rising tensions and shipping attacks.

How do they get calendar dates wrong? Wolfram Alpha had that shit figured out decades ago.

It’s strange to see Israelis confirming something obvious instead of denying it.

The part about sunlight intensity was new to me, though. And it’s interesting that men may be more affected than women by changes in weather. I wonder if that’s shown in other studies as well.

In this case it’s probably from Revelation:

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

It's also from 2018, if anyone else got the impression it was more recent.

A contemporary reaction, with some more choice quotations from Democrats:

We know that Israel would prefer to keep the sword of freedom sheathed… [But if war comes] We will stand on the side of our one true ally in the Middle East.

That's then-senator now-prisoner Robert Menendez hitting Trump from the right on Iran.

I have not seen a security situation as immediately threatening as today… … Iran [is] increasingly and aggressively challenging Israel…

When Iran and Russia challenge Israel directly they are also challenging the United States.

That's still-senator Chris [slur filter]s of Delaware.
