So, it seems like an attempted infiltration. Still quite interesting.

At this point, Ukraine can do nothing except launch suicidal attacks for some PR.

Apparently, tomorrow are elections in Russia. Am I the only one that didn't know?

Well, not like it matters anyway. Slava Putin, to another term!

Here, my friend made a nerd channel about fighter jets & aviation related things. Some of you might like it.

He's mostly an expert on Pakistani/Indian conflict and Chinese stuff.

— Some quick comments regarding the slow posting these days

I know the reporting has been slow. I'm the only admin by myself, and I am quite busy in real life, and at the same time, there is not much 'news' going on in the Middle East currently.

Yes, Israel and Hamas are still at war, but every day is mostly the same. Similarly, yes, Hezbollah is at war with Israel, but we mostly see the same kind of dynamic each day. If there is something special, of course I try to report it.

Regarding Iran, it is also pretty quiet right now. I covered the elections and the recent pipeline explosions, which were noteworthy.

As for Yemen, it is still continuing its duty by targeting Israeli-linked shipping, but once again, no major changes, except that they will now target ships in the Indian Ocean.

Basically, I would rather cover events that are actually important than to report every little thing and be repetitive every day. That would lead to people being disinterested and not focused on the real developments.

At this point, covering every resistance operation, or updating the new count of Palestinian deaths in Gaza, or another drone launch from Yemen, is simply undoable because it happens so much, and because it is honestly not noteworthy anymore. I hope this makes sense to you all.

Anyways, I will be here (as I have been) if there are any major developments. And when I'm more free & find some extra admins, I'll make sure to ramp up the posting again.

Thanks for your support 💚

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇵🇸 NOW: The Israeli War Cabinet is meeting to discuss the Lebanon front and the Gaza Strip

Important decisions regarding an operation into Rafah or even into Lebanon could be made tonight.

Even if a decision on either of these two topics is made tonight, they likely won't materialize until the next month or months.
