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.

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.

Russia is suing Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland at the ICJ for not living up to their international commitments to prevent terrorism over their lack of will to conduct real investigations of the Nordstream attacks:
New countries may face pre-trial claims over Nord Stream (from RIA Novosti, machine translation
Zakharova: Russia may make claims for terrorist attack on Nord Streams to new countries
MOSCOW, September 28 — RIA Novosti. Russia has filed pre-trial claims against four countries in connection with the investigation of the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipeline, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RIA Novosti.
“The Russian Federation has officially filed pre-trial claims against Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland on the basis of the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism,” she said.

According to the diplomat, other states that may have something to do with this terrorist attack are next in line.
She noted that the bombing of Russian export gas pipelines is a flagrant act of international terrorism, which falls under international treaties obliging states to prevent such acts, investigate their commission and cooperate with other countries to do so. But these obligations are not being fulfilled.
Thus, Switzerland, where the company operating Nord Stream is registered, did not even try to investigate the terrorist attack. Denmark and Sweden, in whose exclusive economic zones the explosions occurred, quickly closed their investigations without publishing any results. And Germany, where the end point of both gas pipelines is located, has still not reported a single positive result of the investigation, Zakharova listed.
“Moreover, the arrest warrants for suspects that Berlin recently sent out, according to its claims, were not executed and as a result, at least one suspect who was in Poland, according to the Polish prosecutor’s office, managed to escape to the territory of Ukraine,” the Foreign Ministry representative added.
She called the reaction of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk , who said that anyone concerned about the progress of the investigation into the terrorist attacks “should shut up,” shameless.
“The West is not interested in conducting an effective investigation into the terrorist attack, despite the colossal damage caused to the European economy and environment by the blowing up of gas pipelines,” the diplomat emphasized.
Zakharova recalled that Moscow has repeatedly sent requests to European countries for legal assistance in the investigation, but they have been rejected under far-fetched pretexts or without explanation at all, which contradicts the international legal obligations of these states.
If the issue is not resolved at the pre-trial stage, Moscow intends to appeal to the International Court of Justice , the Foreign Ministry representative noted.
“Russia is firmly committed to seeking to establish and bring to strict accountability all perpetrators, organizers and accomplices of the terrorist attack. International justice is not the domain of the West; it must and will work in the interests of the entire world, including and above all in the fight against international terrorism,” she concluded.
The explosions on the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 occurred on September 26, 2022. According to Nord Stream AG, the accident is unprecedented and the repair time cannot be estimated. The Kremlin called this emergency an act of international terrorism.
According to American journalist Seymour Hersh , the explosives under the gas pipelines were planted by American divers during the NATO exercises Baltops 2022, and three months later the Norwegians detonated them. Moreover, President Joe Biden decided on the sabotage after more than nine months of secret discussions with the national security team, as he feared that Germany , which receives gas from Russia through the Nord Streams, would not want to participate in military aid to Ukraine . Washington denies these accusations.
In which court did they file the suit tho?
ICJ is the court
