U.S. citizen Judith Raanan, released from captivity by Hamas, and relatives of Itai Glisco and Dr. Daniel Levy, who died on October 7, 2023, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court against the crypto exchange Binance, saying that it became a platform for financing the terrorist group.

According to the lawsuit, between 2017 and 2023, Binance provided Hamas with a secret funding channel hidden from U.S. regulators. The company was aware that certain accounts were being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

For several years, Binance has willingly turned a blind eye to the use of the platform by illegal players, including terrorists. They also claim that Hamas and other terrorist groups were in fact granted VIP status.

The main sponsor of the group in the lawsuit called Iran. It also highlights Syria’s role as one of the cradles of Hamas. Many others are expected to follow suit.

On October 10, the cyber unit of the Lahav 433 police department, in cooperation with the National Anti-Terrorism Economic Staff of the Ministry of Defense, the General Security Service (SHABAK) and other services, blocked cryptocurrency accounts that the Hamas terrorist organization used to collect donations on social networks.

Hamas terrorists acted through “charitable” organizations, collecting cryptocurrency through social networks allegedly for humanitarian purposes – to help the civilian population of Gaza, for medical care, etc.

Hamas-linked accounts in the Binance blockchain system were blocked, as well as accounts in the British bank Barclay's, whose details were published by Hamas for the purpose of receiving donations (this operation was carried out jointly with British police).

Authorities turned off heating in forty apartment buildings to begin repairing the heating main in the middle of winter.

In Novosibirsk, a heating line is being repaired, 40 apartment buildings have been disconnected from buildings, and heat supply has been reduced in some houses in the Leninsky district. According to estimates, in the city due to winter repairs of heating networks without heat left about 130 objects, among them houses, schools and hospitals. On January 19, an emergency regime was introduced in Novosibirsk due to constant communal accidents.




According to the Arabic edition of the Sky News channel, citing sources in Yemen, at least 40 Houthi militants have died in the last two days as a result of US-British strikes.

Most of those killed were in the Yemeni capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida. Both settlements are controlled by Iran-backed Houthis.

Recall that in November 2023, the Houthis began to attack ships heading through the Suez Canal in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait region in solidarity with the residents of the Gaza Strip. They said they were only attacking ships linked to Israel or carrying cargo to Israel.

To ensure freedom of navigation, the US and its allies formed a coalition that began to strike the Houthis.


Iranian sources say a drone strike in Baghdad killed two high-ranking militants of the Shiite militant group Kataib Hezbollah, responsible for the shelling of the Tower 22 stronghold in Jordan, which killed three American soldiers.

According to these reports, the US military eliminated one of the commanders of the group, Visam Mohammed Saber al-Saedi (Haj Abubagher), and the head of the intelligence group, Arkan al-Alawi.

Earlier, Arab media reported about the explosion in the east of Baghdad. Iran-linked news channel Sabereen News reported that at least three missiles were fired at the vehicle from the air. The strike is attributed to the US army, which is conducting a military operation against pro-Iranian groups in Syria and Baghdad.

The commander of Kataib Hezbollah, an armed Iraqi group backed by Iran, was killed in an American strike on Wednesday, the US army said.

“The U.S. military conducted a unilateral strike in Iraq in response to attacks on U.S. troops, killing the commander of Kataib Hezbollah responsible for direct planning and involvement in attacks on U.S. forces in the region,” the military said in a statement.

Two security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the commander was Abu Bakir al-Saadi, killed in a drone strike on a car in eastern Baghdad.

On Thursday, February 8, the Kan-11 TV channel reported that the response given by Hamas to the mediators to the deal proposal formulated at the Paris summit was not agreed with the leadership of the terrorist group in the Gaza Strip. The report noted that the publication of this information required permission from military censorship.

According to available information, the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinuar and the head of the Izzaddin al-Qasam brigades (the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization), Muhammad Daif, have not been in touch with members of the group’s political bureau abroad for several weeks.

Israel is only interested in the response of Sinoir and Dafe, because if the deal goes through, only they can order the release of Israeli hostages.

In the evening of February 8, a meeting of a narrow military-political cabinet is held in the Kiriya complex in Tel Aviv, after which the expanded military-political cabinet will gather. On the agenda of the two meetings, according to media reports, is a discussion of the response received from Hamas through intermediaries.

An Israeli military intelligence officer with the rank of major resigned “due to the failure of October 7.”
To date, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi HaLevi, Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar and Maj. Gen. Aaron Khaliva have also taken credit for the failure in language that clearly hinted at their willingness to resign.

U.S. State Department spokesman Vedanth Patel told a briefing that the United States would not support the IDF operation in Rafah "without serious planning" and finding a solution for the more than one million civilians displaced from other areas of the Gaza Strip.

“To carry out such an operation now in an area where more than a million people are sheltered without planning would be a disaster,” he said.

Patel said Anthony Blinken made this clear to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their February 7 meeting.

When asked where a million people might be sheltering, given the fighting in other areas, Patel said, “This is a legitimate question that we think the Israelis should answer.”

He also noted that Washington does not see any evidence that Israel is seriously planning the operation in Rafah.

The American economic company Moody’s Analytics published a report on the so-called “shelf companies” (shelf companies) – companies that do not have real activities, and are used, as a rule, for offshore operations. In Israel, such companies are called stock exchange skeletons.

As part of the report, the company analyzed the registration of 472 million such “skeletons” to help identify structures that could be used for money laundering and terrorist financing.

According to the report, at least 4,000 people registered as board members of such companies are over the age of 120, and the director of one of the companies registered in Belgium in 2018 turned 943, meaning he lived in the 11th century.

Another 8,000 board members are under 10 years old, of which about 4,000 are under 5 years old.

In the registration of 22 thousand shelf companies around the world, the pyramids in Giza (Egypt) are listed as the official address, 61 thousand companies are registered in one shopping center in Pretoria (South Africa), 8000 Chinese companies are registered at one address in Madrid (Spain).

Other examples cited in the report include one person holding 5,751 positions at 2,883 companies, and a one-person Chinese textile company reported $2 billion in revenue in 2019.

Yemeni sources report two strikes carried out on Friday, February 9, by the British and US air forces on Houthi targets in Saada province in northwestern Yemen.

Al-Mayadeen TV, which is close to Hezbollah, also reported that US and British aircraft carried out two strikes on the Al-Jabana area north of Hodeidah.

Another strike hit Houthi targets in the A-Taif area south of Hodeida.

Earlier today, the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) reported that within two hours, the U.S. military in self-defense carried out seven strikes on four unmanned surface ships of the Houthi and mobile anti-ship missiles, which were prepared to launch at ships in the Red Sea.

These drones and missiles posed an immediate threat to U.S. Navy ships and merchant ships in the region.





On the night of February 12, during a special operation in Rafah (Rafah), in the south of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military released two hostages who had been held by terrorists since October 7, 2023.

Rescued 70-year-old Luis Norberto Har (a resident of Kibbutz Urim) and 60-year-old Fernando Simon Marman (a resident of Kfar Saba). Both were captured by terrorists in Nir Itzhak.

The rescued hostages were taken to Sheba Hospital in Tel al-Shomer. Doctors assess their condition as satisfactory.

The hostages were released when they were under Hamas guard on the second floor of a building in Rafah city center. During a shootout with terrorists, one Israeli soldier was lightly injured.

The hostage rescue operation lasted about an hour. But from nearby buildings, Israeli soldiers were fired upon. To neutralize the militants, aviation was involved.

On Monday, February 12, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that the Syrian airfield “Shayrat” is preparing UAV operators for war against Ukraine.

According to the GUR, Russian operators of Iranian-made drones are trained by instructors from the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It is reported that the Russian military in “Shayrat” is trained to control the UAV Shahed-136, Ababil-3 and Raad.

The name of the commander of Hezbollah, responsible for the training of the Russian military, is Kamal Abu Sadiq.

It is noted that along with the Russian military, Syrian mercenaries are being trained, who are planned to be sent to war against Ukraine as UAV operators.


This is the first event as expected.

Near the Caribbean state of Trinidad and Tobago overturned a tanker with oil – without a flag and crew. Due to the large-scale spill in the country declared a state of emergency.

“The situation is out of control,” Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley said as he declared a state of emergency on Sunday, February 11. Divers have been unable to cope with the leak for several days.

Oil damaged reefs and beaches, affecting about 15 kilometers of coastline. In cleaning the coast, emergency services are assisted by about a thousand volunteers. Residents of a nearby village were advised to wear masks or move temporarily. Authorities said they were ready to accept any assistance and had already received several offers.

Hundred-meter vessel "Gulfstream" capsized off Tobago on Wednesday, February 7. It did not send any distress signals, nor did it show a flag or crew. But a long cable was found, which may indicate that the ship was in tow, Rowley suggested

The Armenian Defense Ministry reported the death of four soldiers as a result of shelling on Tuesday morning by the Azerbaijani army. The department noted that the fire was conducted in the direction of the village of Nerkin Hand in Syunik region, in the south of the country.

One soldier was wounded, his life is out of danger, the Armenian Defense Ministry added.

The state border service of Azerbaijan, in turn, announced the conduct of a military operation on Tuesday in response to a provocation from the Armenian side. It is alleged that the day before the Armenian military fired on Azerbaijani soldiers near the village of Nerkin-And, Gafan district. One Azerbaijani border guard was reported injured. Subsequently, a military post of the Armenian armed forces was shelled, from where fire was conducted the day before, Baku noted.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said that Armenian army units shelled the positions of the Azerbaijani military in the Tovuz direction of the border.

UNRWA chief says Israel is campaigning for 'destruction' UNRWA

Speaking to Swiss newspaper group Tamedia, Ladzarini said: "We are currently dealing with an expanded, concerted Israeli campaign to destroy UNRWA," the main aid agency in the Gaza Strip.

"This is a long-term political goal because it is believed that if the aid agency is abolished, the status of Palestinian refugees will be resolved once and for all, and with it the right of return," he said, referring to the demand of descendants of Palestinians who fled their homes during Israel's 1948 war of independence to be granted the right to return to Israel. “There is a much larger political objective behind this.”

"Just look at the number of actions Israel is taking against UNRWA," he added, citing measures by the Israeli parliament, steps to revoke the agency's VAT exemption and orders to contractors in the Israeli port of Ashdod to "stop processing certain food supplies to UNRWA."

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Friday that of UNRWA's 13,000 employees in Gaza, at least 12 percent are affiliated with the terrorist groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

“It is known that 1,468 workers are active members of Hamas and [Palestinian Islamic Jihad], 185 UNRWA employees are members of Hamas military units and 51 are members of the Islamic Jihad’s military unit in Palestine,” he told a foreign press briefing.

Iran continues to enrich uranium much more than it needs to produce fuel for a nuclear reactor (even though Iran buys fuel for the VVER reactor from Russia), despite UN pressure to stop it, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said on Monday, adding he wanted to visit Tehran to discuss it with the ayatollahs.

Grossi believes Iran receives at least 7-9 kg of uranium enriched to 60 percent of the U-235 isotope each month.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan:

Russia is turning the red carpet in front of Hamas terrorists and the Houthis, who are child killers.
Russia invaded Ukraine just as Hamas invaded Israel.Russia is destroying Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure.
Iran is arming and training terrorists and Russia. Iranian weapons are killing civilians.
Russia unites all terrorists and poses a threat to the whole world.”.

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Laxon and Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that the country now recognizes Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Since 2010, New Zealand has recognized the military wing of Hamas, the Izzaddin al-Qasam Brigades, as a terrorist organization, but the political leadership of Hamas and the organization as a whole have not been recognized as terrorist until now.

Peters said: After the October 7 attack, it is impossible to distinguish between the military and political wings of Hamas. The organization as a whole is responsible for these horrific terrorist attacks.”

Against this background, the New Zealand government announced sanctions to be imposed on the Hamas terrorist organization, including an asset freeze in New Zealand and a ban on “providing support to it.”.






The pro-Iranian Shiite group Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it allegedly attacked the Israeli military air base Palmakhim in central Israel on the morning of March 14.

It should be noted that such statements by pro-Iranian militants in Iraq have already been heard many times: several times it was claimed that they launched a UAV at the port of Ashdod, then it was claimed that they attacked a certain naval facility in Israel, then announced a strike on the Haifa port, then there were statements about an attack on the Ben-Gurion airport and oil refineries in Haifa using UAVs.

These claims were not corroborated by any sources in Israel.

According to Palestinian media reports, during the drop of humanitarian aid parcels in the Beit Lahia area in the northern Gaza Strip, one person was killed and several others were injured.

The cause was a stampede that arose in the process of parsing landed parcels. This is not the first time that humanitarian aid has been delivered to Gazans.

Earlier, the US Central Command (Centcom) reported that on March 16, during a joint operation with the Jordanian Air Force, more than 7 tons of packages with humanitarian aid were dropped into the Gaza Strip. Each package includes rice, flour, milk, pasta and canned food.

On the evening of March 16, the Hamas-owned Quds Force reported that a senior Gaza police commander, Yusuf Muhammad Abu Jazar, had died in hospital from wounds sustained about a month earlier.

About a month ago in the south of the Gaza Strip, an IDF drone fired a missile at a car in which Abu Jazar was traveling, he was seriously wounded.

Yusuf Muhammad Abu Jazar was one of the most senior Hamas police officers in the Rafah area. His rank was equivalent to the rank of colonel.

Hamas expressed outrage that the appointment of the new Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa was carried out by Mahmoud Abbas without consulting its representatives.

The group said in a statement that Fatah had recently participated in talks in Moscow on the need for Palestinian unity.

“One-sided steps, all the more meaningless such as forming a government without national consensus, only deepen divisions. This approach threatens our people and the Palestinian cause, Hamas said.

Cuban Authorities Accuse U.S. of 'Inciting Protests' on Island

Protests against repression, hours of power cuts and food shortages took place in at least five Cuban cities on Sunday. The island blamed the American Embassy

The Cuban Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. Chargé d'affaires, who heads the U.S. diplomatic mission, accusing Washington of seeking to foment a widespread anti-government uprising and interference in Cuba's internal affairs.

On Sunday, the White House's Platform X account released a statement saying the administration was monitoring the protests and calling on the Cuban government to "respect the rights of protesters and meet the legitimate demands of the Cuban people."

These comments led the Cuban Foreign Ministry to summon Chargé d'affaires Benjamin Sieff to meet with Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, "who has officially declared his strong opposition to the interventionist behavior of the [USA] government and defamatory reports," the ministry said in a statement.

A State Department spokesman said suggestions that Washington was behind the protests were "absurd."

The latest incident between the two longtime opponents underscores that Cuban-American relations have barely improved since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.

On Monday, Cuba's foreign ministry reiterated long-standing accusations that the U.S. Cold War-era embargo and other sanctions were aimed at impoverishing Cubans and destabilizing the country.

Sunday's protests, which Cuban officials described as "respectful," were the largest nightly protest since October 2022, when Hurricane Ian lost power on the island for almost a week.

Demonstrations are rare in Cuba, where dissent is not tolerated.

On Monday morning, news on state television showed reports from social media about the demonstrations, including those published by congressmen, accusing American “agitators” of slandering the Cuban authorities, claiming repression and exaggerating the scale of the protests in an effort to confuse the situation and inflame popular anger.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel also accused Washington of aggravating the situation in the country.

“Mediocre politicians and online terrorists have lined up from South Florida to warm up the streets of Cuba with interventionist messages and calls for chaos. They're out of business, Diaz-Canel said on Platform X.

In Ghana, a man was accused of stealing a penis from a tricycle driver on the street and taken into custody. This is reported by AdomOnline.

The incident occurred in the city of Kasoa Central region of the country on Saturday, March 16. A 21-year-old man who was riding around the city centre on his tricycle said he felt his genitals disappear a few minutes after he shook hands with a man.

Residents of Kasoa detained the alleged kidnapper of the penis and handed him over to police. This is the second time a man in the city has decided that his genitals have been stolen. A similar episode occurred in a 47-year-old tricycle driver.

In many countries of Africa and Asia, cultural corro syndrome is common, which psychiatrists recognize as a mass delusional disorder. Affected people claim that their genitals have decreased in size or disappeared. It affects both men and women who believe that their breasts are missing. There are no physiological changes in the organs.

In Africa, there are real epidemics of Koro syndrome, when people begin to claim that they have lost intimate parts of the body. Often the blame for this lies on the so-called kidnappers of penises - voodoo wizards, who allegedly need genitals for certain rituals. The belief that this is possible is widespread. Suspects of such manipulations are often punished.

This week, Brigade Combat Group (TsAKAH) 401, Naval Special Forces "Shayetet 13", fighters and coordinators of the Shin Bet at the headquarters of the 162 division conducted a special operation at the Shifa hospital. The division operated for a week in the north and center of the Gaza Strip and dealt a significant blow to Hamas' terrorist capabilities.

By this time, about 600 terrorists had been arrested, more than 140 terrorists had been killed in the firefights. During the search of the hospital complex, large quantities of weapons and ammunition were found, as well as a lot of materials and intelligence data, the analysis of which helps to better plan the continuation of hostilities.

Islamic Jihad militants, who had taken refuge in the hospital, decided to surrender: high-ranking commanders of the organization, all of them were taken to the Shin Bet for interrogation. Among those arrested are Huasam Salameh, who is in charge of observers in the Gaza Division and his brother, Vasam Salameh, who is in charge of Islamic Jihad’s military propaganda.

Three high-ranking activists of the West Bank headquarters in Hamas who control and direct terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria were also arrested. These are Amar Azida, the head of the Hamas Shechem Committee, Mahmoud Kawasmeh, who, among others, organized and carried out the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in 2014, and Hamdallah Hassan Ali, who has been involved in the development of terror in Judea and Samaria for recent years. All of them were arrested and sent for questioning to the Shin Bet.

The military operation in the Shifa hospital continues, it is accompanied by numerous clashes and shootings. The armed forces continue to search the territory of the hospital complex, search and find ammunition, arrest and eliminate terrorists.

The home of Peru's President Dina Boluarte has been raided as part of an investigation into corruption related to her luxury wristwatch, according to The Associated Press. About 40 police and prosecutors were involved in the raid. Their task was to find a Rolex watch, which Boluarte allegedly did not declare.

The search was broadcast by the local TV channel Latina. According to the footage, government agents from the investigation team broke into the presidential residence in Lima, when the head of state was not at home. They blocked traffic on the street in front of the mansion and surrounded the building.

A police statement said the raid was carried out "to search and seize" evidence in the corruption case and was authorized by the judiciary at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office.

The investigation into Boluarte was launched in March 2024 after local newspaper La Encerrona reported that the president wore different Rolex watches at official events. Asked how such expensive accessories could be afforded on a state salary, the Peruvian leader said the purchases were the result of her "hard work since she was 18" and urged the media not to invade her privacy.

Peru's Attorney General Juan Villena said Boluarte had received a subpoena, but asked for a two-week delay due to her presidential duties. The head of state is obliged to cooperate with the investigation and provide evidence of the legal purchase of expensive watches.

Villena also said Boluarte should bring the three Rolex watches to justice and warned the president against destroying them or concealing them. According to him, the declarations on the income and assets of the head of state over the past two years will be carefully checked for violations.

Boluarte continues to insist that she did not commit corruption crimes. “I entered the Government Palace with clean hands and will walk out of it with clean hands,” she said.

In July 2021, Dina Boluarte became Vice President of Peru and Minister of Social Integration. In December 2022, she took over the country after her predecessor, Pedro Castillo, tried to dissolve Congress and take over the government, and was ousted and arrested.

In the ensuing protests in the poor southern parts of the country killed at least 49 people. Human rights groups say the government has used disproportionate and indiscriminate violence and call for those responsible to be held accountable.

The decision to send troops to disperse the protests was made by 57-year-old Alberto Otarola, the former head of the Ministry of Defense of the country, whom Boluarte appointed as prime minister. In an interview with the Financial Times last year, he said: "I think posterity will remember Boluarte as the president who saved democracy and the rule of law."

Critics accuse Boluarte’s government of becoming increasingly authoritarian, in particular by refusing to hold early elections and working with Congress to draft laws that threaten to undermine the independence of the judiciary.

In the suburbs because of the flood flood flooded the park of lions.

The Pride Land Park, which also works as a shelter, contains lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, camels and other wild animals. It was closed due to the flood of the Nudol River, where the evacuation continues. Employees note (https://Paha-Ne-Vydast.me/pdmnews/68759) that the situation is not getting better yet, and by night the water level may rise even higher.

XZ Utils Backdoor
https://www.akamai.com/blog/security-research/critical-linux-backdoor-xz-utils-discovered-what-to-know
>  It seems that as part of the effort to gain these permissions, Jia Tan used an interesting form of social engineering: They used fake accounts to send myriad feature requests and complaints about bugs to pressure the original maintainer, eventually causing the need to add another maintainer to the repository.
>  After contributing to the code for approximately two years, in 2023 Jia Tan introduced a few changes to XZ that were included as part of release 5.6.0. Among these changes was a sophisticated backdoor.
>  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommended course of action is to downgrade to an uncompromised version, such as 5.4.6


A stealth attack came close to compromising the world’s computers
The cyber-scare, perhaps involving Russia, shows the internet’s crowdsourced code is vulnerable
https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2024/04/02/a-stealth-attack-came-close-to-compromising-the-worlds-computers
>  In 2020 XKCD, a popular online comic strip, published a cartoon depicting a teetering arrangement of blocks with the label: “all modern digital infrastructure”. Perched precariously at the bottom, holding everything up, was a lone, slender brick: “A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003.” The illustration quickly became a cult classic among the technically minded, for it highlighted a harsh truth: the software at the heart of the internet is maintained not by giant corporations or sprawling bureaucracies but by a handful of earnest volunteers toiling in obscurity. A cyber-security scare in recent days shows how the result can be near-disaster.

>  On March 29th Andres Freund, an engineer at Microsoft, published a short detective story. In recent weeks he had noticed that SSH—a system to log on securely to another device over the internet—was running about 500 milliseconds more slowly than expected. Closer inspection revealed malicious code embedded deep inside XZ Utils, a piece of software designed for compressing data used inside the Linux operating system, which runs on virtually all publicly accessible internet servers. Those servers ultimately undergird the internet, including vital financial and government services. The malware would have served as a “master key”, allowing attackers to steal encrypted data or plant other malware.

Продолжение статьи Economist:

>  The most interesting part of the story is how it got there. XZ Utils is open-source software, which means that its code is public and can be inspected or modified by anyone. In 2022 Lasse Collin, the developer who maintained it, found that his “unpaid hobby project” was becoming more onerous amid long-term mental-health issues. A developer going by the name Jia Tan, who had created an account the previous year, offered to help. For more than two years they contributed helpful code on hundreds of occasions, building up trust. In February they smuggled in the malware.

>  The significance of the attack is “huge”, says The Grugq, a pseudonymous independent security researcher who is widely read among cyber-security specialists. “The backdoor is very peculiar in how it is implemented, but it is really clever stuff and very stealthy”—perhaps too stealthy, he suggests, because some of the steps taken in the code to hide its true purpose may have slowed it down and thus raised Mr Freund’s alarm. Jia Tan’s patient approach, supported by several other accounts who urged Mr Collin to pass the baton, hints at a sophisticated human-intelligence operation by a state agency, suggests The Grugq.

>  He suspects the SVR, Russia’s foreign-intelligence service, which in 2019-20 also compromised SolarWinds Orion network-management software to gain extensive access to American government networks. Analysis by Rhea Karty and Simon Henniger suggests that the mysterious Jia Tan made an effort to falsify their time zone but that they were probably two to three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time—suggesting they may have been in eastern Europe or western Russia—and avoided working on eastern European holidays. For now, however, the evidence is too weak to nail down a culprit.

 >>/476515/

>  The attack is perhaps the most ambitious “supply-chain” attack—one that exploits not a particular computer or device, but a piece of back-end software or hardware—in recent memory. It is also a stark illustration of the frailties of the internet and the crowdsourced code it relies on. For defenders of open-source software, Mr Freund’s eagle eyes are a vindication of its premise: code is open, can be inspected by anyone, and errors or deliberate backdoors will eventually be found through collective scrutiny.

>  Sceptics are less sure. Some code security and debugging tools did pick up the anomalies in XZ Utils, but Mr Freund acknowledges “the number of coincidences that had to come together to find this”, including a series of technical but arbitrary choices he made while troubleshooting an unrelated problem. “Nobody else had raised concerns,” writes Kevin Beaumont, another cyber-security specialist. Software engineers are still probing the inner workings of the backdoor, attempting to understand its purpose and design. “The world owes Andres unlimited free beer,” concludes Mr Beaumont. “He just saved everybody’s arse in his spare time.”

>  The attack was detected and stopped before it could cause widespread damage. There is no way to tell whether Jia Tan, or the team apparently behind that persona, have been squirrelling into other vital pieces of internet software under other aliases. But security researchers are concerned that the foundations of the internet are ripe for similar campaigns. “The bottom line is that we have untold trillions of dollars riding on top of code developed by hobbyists,” notes Michal Zalewski, an expert. Other backdoors may lurk undiscovered.

The IDF confirmed that the Israeli air force on the night of April 8 eliminated in southern Lebanon the commander of the unit “Raduan” (Hezbollah special forces) Ali Ahmad Hasin (“Abbas Jafar”).

The IDF said Hassin was involved in numerous shellings on Israeli territory and planned and carried out terrorist attacks. He held the rank equivalent to a brigadier general in the army, responsible for planning and executing terrorist attacks from the Ramim range (where he was destroyed).

In addition to Hasin, two of his subordinates were eliminated, the IDF says.

On the night of April 8, Lebanese sources reported: The IDF air force attacked targets in the area of As-Sultaniya, southern Lebanon (15 km from the border of Israel). It was noted that this area was struck for the first time since the beginning of the war. Later it became known that as a result of the IDF strike, three people were killed, including the commander of the Raduan unit (Hezbollah special forces) Ali Ahmad Hasin (Abbas Jafar).

Hezbollah has officially confirmed the killing of Ali Ahmad Hasin (Abbas Jafar).

Rashka lost a unique radar system.

On Wednesday, Ukrainian media reported that Kiev drones struck a facility where the over-the-horizon radar "Container 29B6" in the Russian Republic of Mordovia, citing sources in Ukrainian military intelligence. Russian and Ukrainian sources reported a previous drone attack on a facility in Mordovia on April 11.
On Wednesday, Artem Zdunov, the regional governor of Mordovia, said a Ukrainian drone "has again attacked an object in Mordovia" around 8 a.m. local time. According to him, the Russian air defense shot down the drone.

The report of VChK-OGPU, which allegedly has insider information of Russian weaklings, said that “the attack was successful, and now the Russian over-the-horizon station is not working.”
The unique 29B6 Container radar is part of a Russian early warning system to detect incoming threats thousands of miles away, such as long-range ballistic missiles. According to the Russian state news agency TASS, it can track cruise and hypersonic missile launches as well as the take-off of aircraft up to 1,860 miles away.
Forbes called the radar, based in Mordovia, Russia’s only over-the-horizon radar aimed to the west and controlling the airspace around Europe. Its value is 110 million dollars, the publication added.
"To fill the gap" formed due to the lack of radar, will be extremely difficult, said the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU.

Unfortunately, the information about the defeat of several of the 6 launched ATACMS Block I missile elements of the S-300PM2 or S-400 air defense system on the AvB near Dzhankoy is confirmed. Targeting and objective control of the defeat was carried out by the strategic radar reconnaissance UAV RQ-4B "Global Hawk", hovering over the Black Sea and regularly using the AN / ZPY-2 AESA radar.

Apparently, the illumination and guidance radar of the 92N6 complex of the S-400 could temporarily not work on radiation (due to the maintenance of the microwave-klystrone cell base), which was recorded by the RQ-4A Global Hawk, issuing a target designation to the calculations of the ATACMS ATRC, located 165 km northwest (near Kherson).

Also, we can talk about the excessive dispersion of the divisions of the long-range SAM, which did not allow the second closest division of the S-400 or S-300V4 to intercept the MGM-140A ballistic missile approaching the “Jankoi” division of the S-400. After all, diving at an angle of almost 90 degrees, the ATACMS missile could overcome the anti-missile barrier through the "dead funnel" present in the upper hemisphere above the 92N6 radar - 40 - 50-degree sector outside the radar orientation chart.

At the PACE meeting on April 17, it was decided to recognize Russia as a “dictatorship”, “does not recognize the legitimacy of Vladimir Pydor as president of the Russian Federation”, “the ROC is actually used by the Kremlin regime as an instrument of Russian influence and propaganda and has nothing to do with freedom of religion and freedom of expression” and called for the decolonization of the “enslaved peoples of Russia”.

China has condemned the US deployment of medium-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said in a regular press briefing on Thursday that China "expresses serious concern" and "strongly opposes the United States ... increasing forward deployments at China's doorstep to gain unilateral military advantage."

The U.S. military on Monday confirmed it had deployed a medium-range missile system in northern Luzon in the Philippines on April 11.
This is the first time since the Cold War that the United States has deployed land-based cruise missiles.

The Stars and Stripes newspaper, half-funded by the military, identified the system as Typhon's latest Army launcher, a ground-based system that can fire a variety of missiles, including a nuclear-tipped Tomahawk cruise missile.

At least 108 people have been detained by New York City police in a crackdown on protesters at Columbia University.

The anti-Israel protest began on Thursday as Columbia University President Minush Shafik testified before Congress about rampant anti-Semitism at the university.

Demonstrators occupied the central university lawn and set up tents on it. Protesters protested against “support for genocide in Gaza.”

Shafik tried to negotiate with the participants in a good way. When that didn’t help, the university president turned to threats, sending out a letter promising to remove protesters from classes.

Unable to understand, Minush Shafik went to the police. “I took this extraordinary step because these are extraordinary circumstances. People who set up a tent camp violated a long list of rules, the head of the university explained. She added that the university is working hard to balance students’ right to express political views with the need to protect other students from aggressive rhetoric, harassment and discrimination.

The protesters openly supported Hamas and the actions of this terrorist organization committed on the seventh of October.

Police officers who arrived at the call of the university director dispersed the members of this protest. Those who did not want to evacuate were arrested.
Bulldozers were also deployed to dismantle tents set up by demonstrators.

Defense Minister Yoav Galant visited Israeli troops near the borders of the Gaza Strip on the eve of Passover, and spoke with soldiers and commanders of the 101st Parachute Battalion, as well as soldiers and commanders of the Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.

“We are now at the beginning of a war against seven armies and terrorist organizations,” Galant said. The whole security system of Israel stands behind you: no one in this world will teach us values and morals.

This statement came amid reports that the United States intends to impose sanctions against the battalion “Netsah Yehuda” According to the publication Axios, the reason for this is violations of human rights while serving in Judea and Samaria. Barak Ravid notes that this will happen for the first time in the history of relations between the two states. In particular, the battalion and its fighters will not be able to participate in combat training programs conducted with the participation of the United States.

The IDF press service said: The Netzah Yehuda Battalion is now fighting in the Gaza Strip, showing courage and professionalism and remaining committed to the IDF’s code of ethics and international law. They are at the forefront of round-the-clock combat work to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.”.

The IDF confirmed the elimination in Lebanon of Hassin Ali Azkul, one of Hezbollah’s key air defense commanders. The liquidation of Muhammad Khalil Atia, one of the commanders of the Raduan special forces, was also confirmed.
According to reports, Hassin Ali Azkul was killed by a UAV missile attack while driving a car between Abu al-Aswad and Adloun, north of Tyra (about 35 km from the border with Israel).
Muhammad Khalil Atiyah was killed on the night of April 23 as a result of an IDF airstrike when he was in the village of Zrifa, east of Arzoon (15-20 km from the border with Israel).

Since the beginning of the war (07.10.2023), Hezbollah has confirmed the loss of 288 fighters and commanders.

Representatives of the headquarters of relatives of the abductees said that in an interview with them, Israeli intelligence officials confirmed to them reports that the Hamas leader in Gaza came out of the tunnels where he had been hiding since the beginning of the war and visited the streets of Gaza.

“Sinoir’s exit from the tunnels where the abductees are still being held is a demonstration of a total Israeli failure, regardless of whether Sinoir was able to remove or not,” the headquarters said in a statement. Israeli officials have not commented on the allegations of Yahya Sinuar’s appearance on the surface or his meetings with militants.

Earlier on Wednesday, an unnamed Hamas official said in an interview with al-Arabi al-Jadid that allegations that Hamas leader Yahya Sinoir is hiding in tunnels are “untrue” because Sinoir allegedly recently inspected areas where Hamas militants clashed with the Israeli army and talked with militants on the ground, not in tunnels.

According to a Hamas official, reports of a lack of communication between the group’s leaders in Gaza and abroad are also untrue: there were recent talks in which Sinoir briefed his colleagues on the progress of the fighting and the exact numbers of Hamas forces in different areas of the sector.


National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said the United States would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state under Hamas control. So Kirby commented on the interview that Khalil al-Haya gave to the Associated Press.

Khalil al-Haya is a member of the Hamas Politburo and the formal deputy head of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinuara, and a member of the Hamas delegation in negotiations with Israel through intermediaries.

In an interview with AP, Istanbul-based Khalil al-Haya said Hamas was offering to establish an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and return Palestinian refugees in exchange for a ceasefire of at least five years. According to him, if this demand is met, the militant wing of Hamas will be disbanded and the Islamic Resistance Movement will become a political party. In the same interview, he said Hamas did not regret the October 7 attacks, despite the devastation they caused in the Gaza Strip. He said the operation had achieved its goal of bringing the Palestinian issue back on the agenda.

John Kirby, speaking to reporters aboard an Air Force One plane, called Hamas a terrorist organization and said Hamas leaders could "right now" end the war. If they were really seeking a state for the Palestinian people, they would not be violating the ceasefire that was in place before October 6, they would lay down their arms and release the hostages.

Active preparations are underway to send another “solidarity flotilla” from Turkey to Gaza. Pro-Palestinian activists from around the world (a total of 75 people) are represented by intellectuals, journalists, former politicians, doctors, former military personnel, lawyers, citizens of Turkey, Cuba, South Africa, the United States, Great Britain, Egypt, Malaysia, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Canada, Algeria and other countries.

One of the organizers of the flotilla - 77-year-old Anne Wright, as the "big names" of the participants called the daughter of the Argentine revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara 63-year-old Aleida Guevara, a pediatrician and political activist and 49-year-old grandson of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela Zvevelili "Mandela" Mandela, who participated in the very first flotilla Free Gaza in 2010.

The launch of the flotilla has been delayed several times, and while three flotilla ships are anchored in Turkish ports, Israel is negotiating with Ankara with the help of intermediaries in an effort to prevent the flotilla from arriving. Its participants carry, in their own words, “a huge cargo of humanitarian aid” – 5,500 tons, which is equivalent to 100 trucks. 250-300 trucks of humanitarian aid are transported to the Gaza Strip every day, but UNRWA does not cope with unloading and distributing aid to those in need.

At this stage, a plan is being discussed under which a ship carrying a cargo of humanitarian aid will arrive at the port of El Arish in Egypt, where humanitarian aid will be unloaded from deck and delivered after inspection to the Gaza Strip, as well as all other humanitarian aid.

The flotilla consists of three vessels – a cargo ship with humanitarian aid and two passenger ships, which can bring in 1000-2000 people. Members of the flotilla are waiting to sail and rehearse their actions in case of possible interception of the flotilla: as stated on the website Pearls and irritations in an article by one of the members of the flotilla Medea Benjamin, pro-Palestinian activists are preparing for various scenarios.

The first option is that the flotillas will not be allowed to sail out of Turkey. The second option is “the Israelis will illegally seize us in international waters, confiscate our ships and cargo, arrest, imprison and ultimately deport us,” Benjamin writes. Pro-Palestinian activists are practicing various actions for such a scenario.

The Freedom Flotilla, assembled in Turkey to break the blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip, is unable to go to sea because Guinea-Bissau has denied its vessels the right to use its flag. Without a flag, ships cannot go to sea.

“This is a political decision. “Guinea-Bissau has become an accomplice to an Israeli campaign to genocidate the population of the sector, using hunger and illegal blockade as a weapon,” the organizers said, noting the close ties between the Israeli authorities and the West African country.

The fleet consists of three ships, two of which have lost their flag. One of the detained ships, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is carrying 5,000 tons of humanitarian supplies. 280 pro-Palestinian activists were to take part in the operation.

Columbia and Cornell universities begin to exclude students

After the expiration of the ultimatum, Columbia University announced the beginning of the expulsion of students who refuse to leave the Gaza Solidarity Camp on campus.

According to the university, students who agree to leave the protest camp on time will be able to complete their studies before the end of the semester, while all others will be excluded immediately, without the possibility of completing a semester or a degree. They will be denied access to campuses and dormitories.

Cornell University has also initiated a student exclusion procedure.

The police liquidated the tent camp of pro-Palestinian students, arranged by students of one of the most prestigious educational institutions in France – the Sorbonne University in Paris. No arrests were made.

Protesters waved Palestinian flags, accused Israel of genocide against Palestinians, and French authorities of inaction. The protests forced the university administration to announce the termination of training sessions.

“The operation took only a few minutes and was conducted peacefully. No incidents were recorded, a Paris police source said. The demonstrators do not agree with this, they accuse the police of cruelty.


On the night of April 30, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters broke into Hamilton Hall, the administrative building of the Manhattan campus of Columbia University. They have barricaded themselves inside and refuse to leave until the school administration accepts the conditions they have put forward.

Students and agitators smash windows, chanting "Between the sea and the river Palestine will be free!" and "Free Palestine!" The protesters surrounded Hamilton Hall with a human chain. Police are on the scene, but they have not entered the building yet.

It is also reported that at the time of capture in the building were several people. They weren't released immediately. One of them, after his release, regarded the actions of the demonstrators as hostages.

The protesters demand an end to the university’s cooperation with Israel, including financial, transparency on university investments, and full amnesty for all participants in anti-Israel protests.


















Another lol:
Former US President Donald Trump, leading the fight for a return to the White House, welcomed the actions of the New York police, dispersed the tent camp of pro-Palestinian protesters on the campus of Columbia University. He urged law enforcement agencies in other states to follow suit.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump called the crackdown on an anti-Israel demonstration “a beautiful sight.” “New York was under siege yesterday because of crazy Hamas supporters,” he said.

Trump called for the dispersal of tent camps in other educational institutions to defeat the radicals and provide normal students who go to universities to study, the opportunity to get an education.


California police have begun dismantling a tent camp set up by pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Dozens of people have been arrested.

According to CNN, whose crew is on campus, the police use rubber bullets. There are also reports of shock grenades being used against demonstrators. The police are in full combat clothing, including helmets and gas masks.

Shortly before the assault, the university administration urged students to disperse peacefully and warned that Dickson Plaza, which houses a barricade-encircled tent camp, would be cleared because the gathering was illegal.

39 victims of terrorism, including the victims of the October 7 disaster, filed a lawsuit in the district court of Florida (USA) worth hundreds of millions of dollars, demanding the application of the American law on the prevention of terrorism (ATA) against the organization “Students for justice in Palestine” (SJP).

The lawsuit alleges that the SJP, created by Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, supports terror targeting Jews and Israelis and provides Hamas with financial and “operational support.”

It also detailed how Hamas has secretly expanded its presence on campuses and colleges in the United States over the past two decades, and, thanks to the support and assistance received from the SJP, has effectively created an anti-Semitic student wing that targets Jewish students.

Students for Justice in Palestine has about 200 branches on U.S. campuses, which have opened their doors wide to members of the blacklisted Muslim Americans for Palestine.

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, president of the rights group Shurat HaDin, said it was “time to expose the true face of SJP and remove the masks of those who encourage terrorism and violence throughout the United States.” They are neither innocent nor peaceful. These are the same terrorists who killed thousands of innocent people, tortured and raped women, men and children. We must act urgently against them, for they will spread violence and hatred throughout the country, just as they did in Israel on October 7. Is America Ready for Its Own October 7?

Following the unanimous decision of the Cabinet of Ministers to stop broadcasting Al Jazeera in Israel, on May 5, police raided the headquarters of a news organization funded by the government of Qatar at the Ambassador Hotel in Jerusalem.

Last week, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara gave the go-ahead to a vote on the closure of Al Jazeera in our country.

The decrees submitted for approval are instructions to stop broadcasting in Arabic and English through content providers in Israel, close offices and block access to websites.

In addition, Communications Minister Shlomo Karya ordered the confiscation of the network’s broadcasting equipment.

The IDF and Shin Bet struck an the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East compound used by Hamas as a command center in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to the IDF.

The commander center had been used by Hamas in recent weeks to direct terrorist attacks against Israeli forces in the Netzarim corridor as well as against humanitarian aid. The command center was also used to transfer weapons to terrorists and supplies through underground tunnels.

The administration of the University of Chicago announced the elimination of a pro-Palestinian tent camp on the campus. According to the statement, the camp violated freedom of speech, study and work.

The student group United University of Chicago for Palestine said the police attack took activists by surprise as they slept peacefully in their tents. “The university is falling lower and lower, defending its contribution to genocide and colonialism,” she said.

It should be noted that tough measures against anti-Israel student demonstrations are taken not only in the United States. On the night of May 7, a pro-Palestinian tent camp was liquidated at the University of Amsterdam. In this case, the police used force.

French police have arrested 89 people who took part in anti-Israel protests at the Sorbonne University of Paris. A tent camp organized by protesters has been liquidated, France 24 reports.

The statement of the prosecutor's office lists acts that may be incriminated by the arrested person. These are rebellion, damage to property, violence against persons performing official duties, invasion of an educational institution and holding a rally to disrupt public order.

An example of anti-Israel student demonstrations was given by American universities. However, the violence spread to Europe as well. Tent camps were created by students of another prestigious French university, Science Po. Protests were also held in Holland and Switzerland.

The leadership of the University of California at Riverside has agreed with pro-Palestinian activists who set up a “protest camp” on campus that they will remove their tents in exchange for removing Sabra hummus from the university cafeteria, TPM reported.

To date, the agreement between Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the administration has stated only that the fate of the hummus jars "will be reviewed."

Sabra, which produces Middle Eastern and other foods including hummus and guacamole, was founded in the United States in 1986. In 2005 it was acquired by Israeli company Strauss. Then, in 2008, Sabra was taken over by Strauss and Frito-Lay, a U.S. food subsidiary of PepsiCo. By 2016, Sabra had captured 60% of the U.S. hummus market.

All Sabra products are certified as kosher and vegetarian and are available throughout the United States and Canada. Despite the fact that hummus is made in Virginia, the name of the brand has a pronounced Israeli connotation, since “sabrams” are called Jews born in Israel.

On Tuesday, May 14, the press service of the IDF published a video taken from a drone on the territory of the central logistics center of UNRWA in the eastern part of Rafah. On it, armed militants are depicted next to UN vehicles and members of the international mission.

The video was captured on Saturday, May 11, during the operational activities of the Givati forces of the 162nd Division.

This is a central logistics center, where UNRWA warehouses are located, and from here humanitarian aid is delivered throughout the Gaza Strip.

The Office of the Coordinator of Government Action in the Palestinian Territories shared the IDF’s video and data with the international community. Israel has called on the UN to immediately investigate.

Israeli officials warned the UN that the presence of militants in the area poses a danger, including for mission personnel, and also jeopardizes the possibility of further work of the logistics complex.

In Germany, early Saturday morning, environmental activists from the organization “Last Generation” entered the inner range of the airport in Munich and glued themselves to the runway.

More than 60 takeoffs and landings were canceled, but the airport management soon managed to normalize the situation. At seven o'clock in the morning, the first liner started from the northern runway.

In a press release, The Last Generation reports that six people entered the airfield at 04:45 a.m. in two groups at various locations. After they glued to the runway, all exits from the two terminals were blocked. To get to the airfield, activists made holes in the fence of the airport.

“Scenes of climate destruction with the help of fossil energy sources will continue to be intensively visited,” activists said in connection with the blockade of the airport.

Police detained six protesters and two members of the group who helped them cut the fence. All detainees will be prosecuted for dangerous interference with air traffic.

By their actions, members of the Last Generation group intended to remind passengers at the beginning of the extended weekend on the eve of the Trinity holiday about the harmfulness of flights. According to activists, about 10% of Germans are responsible for warming and climate change. Activists demand decisive action by politicians to avert climate catastrophe.

“Such criminal actions pose a danger to aircraft traffic and damage climate protection, as they only cause misunderstanding,” German Interior Minister Nancy Fezer said. She called for consistent punishments of perpetrators and a review of airport protection measures.

Activists responded by tweeting that Feather “promises enhanced security measures to protect political lies and airline profits.”.

The NYPD broke up an anti-Israel demonstration in Brooklyn’s Bay Bridge neighborhood, often referred to as “little Palestine” or “little Yemen” because of the large concentration of Arab immigrants.

Freelance journalist Katie Smith told Al Jazeera that several hundred people participated in the demonstration, calling not only for a ceasefire in Gaza, but also for the “liberation of Palestine.”

According to the New York Post, protesters tried to break through the police cordon and clashes broke out on the spot. Police arrested at least 12 protesters. One of the participants of the demonstration broke his nose.

Berlin police liberated the building of the Faculty of Social Sciences of Humboldt University, occupied by pro-Palestinian activists on Wednesday, May 22.

According to the press service of the police, a total of about 150 people were withdrawn from the building. Some of them left the building voluntarily, and force was used to evacuate the rest.

A spontaneous protest outside the liberated faculty building was dispersed.

In January 2020, as a result of an American strike in Baghdad, the commander of the Al-Quds forces, General Soleimani, was killed.
How was this decision made? U.S. Marine Corps General Kenneth Franklin McKenzie, Jr., then head of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), details how it was in his article.

A group of Arab countries at the last moment withdrew the anti-Israel resolution it was promoting at the 77th session of the World Health Organization in Geneva, with the support of Russia and Iran.

Ahead of the final vote on a resolution condemning Israel over the health situation in Gaza, the Israeli delegation to the WHO managed to secure the inclusion of an amendment demanding the immediate release of the hostages and condemning Hamas’ use of medical infrastructure and ambulances for military purposes.

After 50 countries voted in favour of the amendment, it was withdrawn. Slovenia, Belgium, Ireland and Norway were among 44 countries that voted against an amendment calling for the release of the abducted. 83 countries abstained from voting.

The representative of Egypt applied to withdraw the resolution from the vote, but under WHO rules, this now requires the consent of Israel, whose amendment was included in the text of the resolution. At the moment, it is not clear what decision will be made in the end.

A crowd of participants of the anti-Israel demonstration on Friday, May 31, broke into the Brooklyn Museum, setting up a “camp” in the museum and causing damage to works of art, writes the website of the New York Post.

According to police and the museum administration, about 1,000 people participated in the action. They used climbing equipment to enter the building. Several protesters hung a giant banner over the facade of the museum building reading "Liberate Palestine from Genocide."

Demonstrators attacked museum guards. There were clashes with the police. Many lawbreakers were arrested and some were injured.

According to the NYP, the action could be organized by the group “Within Our Lifetime”, which on the eve called on supporters in social networks “to flood the Brooklyn Museum beyond Gaza”, seize it and hold it, demanding an end to the “American-Israeli genocide”.

According to a report released Monday by the Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Israel is upgrading its military reactor at Dimona. According to SIPRI, at the beginning of last year, Israel had a stockpile of 750 to 1,110 kg of plutonium, which corresponds to 187 to 277 nuclear warheads.

https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/rys1rc6sa#!

The Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has published an annual review of the nuclear capabilities of various countries. SIPRI experts concluded that in 2023 all nuclear powers expanded their arsenals.

The document says that nine countries possess nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, all of which in 2023 expanded their nuclear arsenals and continue to modernize weapons. In the list of nuclear powers, Israel placed on the eighth position, ahead of North Korea in the number of warheads.

The review estimates that there are 12,121 nuclear warheads in the world stockpile. As of January 2024, 3,904 warheads were deployed on missiles and aircraft, 60 more than in January 2023, with about 2,100 ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads on high alert. Almost all of them belong to Russia or the United States. For the first time, China, which in a year increased the number of nuclear warheads from 410 to 500, put some of them on alert.

About 90% of nuclear weapons belong to Russia and the United States.

The document says that, according to rough estimates, Israel has 90 warheads (while there are experts who believe that Israel has 300 nuclear warheads). According to SIPRI, in Israel, nuclear warheads are stored separately from their means of delivery. The document quotes Israeli government minister Amihai Eliyahu (Otzma Yehudit), who at the beginning of the war did not rule out the possibility of using nuclear weapons in Gaza.

According to SIPRI, at the beginning of 2023, Israel had between 750 and 110 kg of plutonium, which would be enough to build between 187 and 277 warheads of 4 kg of plutonium each. About 30 of the 90 warheads available are designed to be dropped from F16I and possibly F-15 fighters.

The report said about 50 more warheads were designed to be delivered by Jericho family missiles, although the report said Israel had never acknowledged possessing such missiles. They are probably stored in bunkers and underground storage facilities. According to SIPRI, Israel is upgrading its missile arsenal from Jericho 2 to Jericho 3, which has a range of 4,000 km.

The report notes that Israel also has five German-made Dolphin submarines, some of which, according to unconfirmed reports, have undergone modernization to launch the Popeye cruise missile. Thus, according to the SIPRI report, Israel has the ability to attack with nuclear weapons from land, air and sea.

In 2023, Israel was in the process of upgrading its Dimona nuclear reactor.


The UN Commission on Hunger and Food Security said it had found no evidence of famine in Gaza. This statement contradicts other reports prepared by governmental and non-governmental organizations and confirms Israel's position.

Despite the fact that the document was presented to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres more than a week ago, they were in the media only the day before. Some commentators attribute this to the inconsistency of the commission’s findings with the UN Secretary-General’s narrative on Israeli crimes in Gaza.

According to the document, until October 7, Israel provided access to the sector 70 trucks with food per day. Since the beginning of March, 125 trucks per day have been delivered. A total of 17,400 trucks carrying humanitarian aid have entered Gaza since the start of hostilities.

The Food Security Scale has five levels. The fifth level, which means famine, is in Sudan. The situation in Gaza is much better. However, additional measures must be taken to provide food to residents.

Germany lists BDS as extremist group

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Germany published a report on threats to German national security. The document notes the intensification of such threats emanating from both right and left radicals.

For the first time in its history, the agency has included in the list of organizations suspected of extremism, the BDS movement aimed at boycotting Israel and imposing sanctions against it. The call for the “liberation of Palestine” is a call for the destruction of the State of Israel.

This is also the first time that radical climate change movements have been included. The Ende Gelände movement, which advocates the closure of coal mines, uses increasingly radical tactics, including sabotage, and calls for civil disobedience by rejecting state institutions. The youth movements of the Left Party and the Green Party cooperate with him.

Radical right-wing groups support the ideology of xenophobia. As for the threat posed by Muslim radicals, loners, who are extremely difficult to track, are particularly dangerous.

The launch was successful, but the accelerator fell on the heads of local residents.

The accelerator operates on asymmetric dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetraoxide. Residents probably did not like it, but on the other hand it is a great fertilizer for plants.

Foreign ministers from several countries have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon amid fears that tensions on the Israeli-Lebanese border are about to escalate into full-scale war.

The Dutch Foreign Ministry has urged its citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon, and those already there have urged them to leave the country as soon as possible while commercial flights operate.

Germany also issued a warning against travel to Lebanon, urging German citizens in Lebanon to leave the country, explaining: “The situation on the border between Israel and Lebanon is very tense.”

The Canadian government has also urged its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country amid escalating tensions. “The safety of Canadians, both at home and abroad, is Canada’s top priority,” said Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie.

Kuwait urged its citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon and urged those already in Lebanon to leave as soon as possible "due to the security situation in the region." North Macedonia has also asked its citizens to leave Lebanon for fear of war.

Britain has advised its citizens not to travel to Lebanon, and the U.S. Embassy in Beirut has issued warnings to U.S. citizens to avoid travel to areas near the borders with Israel and Syria.

The Russian Embassy in Beirut also urged to refrain from trips to Lebanon.

Last week, an unusual escape attempt was prevented in a pre-trial detention cell at the Israeli immigration police facility: a 28-year-old Serbian national who arrived in Israel illegally dug a tunnel out of his cell but was caught by police at the last minute.

According to bhol.co.il, the Serbian citizen arrived in Israel on one of the flights, but the Interior Ministry representative refused to give him permission to enter because of suspicions that he plans to work illegally in Israel. He was placed in a detention facility with other foreign nationals who were denied entry to Israel and awaited deportation.

While in the cell, the illegals covered the lamp in the toilet with a towel and removed the grille, then with the help of an iron bar from the grille, the suspect smashed the ceramic tiles with which the toilet wall was lined, and punched a hole in the wall through which he planned to escape.

The tunnel was discovered during a camera inspection. The suspect was detained, during interrogation, he confessed to an attempt to escape. The prosecutor's office has submitted to the magistrate's court Rishon LeZiona an indictment against a Serbian citizen, he is accused of damaging property and attempting to escape from arrest.

This is not the first such case: in May last year, an illegal alien from Georgia with two cellmates from Moldova tried to dig into his cell in a temporary detention facility at Ben Gurion airport.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said there was no alternative to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, and that it was necessary to preserve the organization.

Guterres’ statement came after the IDF said the compound, previously used by UNRWA, was home to a Hamas base, weapons depot and drone manufacturing facility. There were also detained dozens of terrorists, fighting broke out.

“I call on everyone to protect UNRWA, including through funding,” Guterres said. He recalled that 118 countries backed the agency as an “indispensable organization” as Israel stepped up its efforts to eliminate it.

On Friday, July 12, the IDF forces under the command of the 99th Division conducted an operation on one of the Hamas complexes located in the UNRWA headquarters building in the Gaza Strip. Special forces "Maglan" and "Egoz", using the received intelligence, detained dozens of terrorists trying to escape.

During the operation, fighting also broke out with Hamas terrorists entrenched in the complex. IDF fighters found a drone, parts necessary to assemble drones, as well as kamikaze drones, missiles, machine guns, mortars, grenades and other weapons.

In addition, the IDF discovered a network of tunnels under the headquarters building.

In February 2023, in the Indonesian province of West Papua, people calling themselves West Papua National Liberation Army took hostage the pilot of a local airline, New Zealand citizen Philip Mertens.

What did they want? The rebel group has previously said it would release him only in exchange for recognition from independence.

For more than a year, Philip sat in the jungle and was eventually released.

Telegram still doesn't meet large platform requirements under DSA

Messaging service Telegram continues to dodge designation as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the EU’s platform rules, because its user numbers do not yet exceed 45 million monthly users in the bloc, a spokesperson for the Belgian Digital Services Coordinator told Euronews.

“Depending on how active users of the service are counted, it is possible to arrive at different numbers,” the Belgian Institute of Post and Telecommunications (BIPT ) told Euronews.

“We have not received any numbers to date that would indicate more than 45 million monthly active users,” the spokesperson said. Discussions between BIPT, the European Commission and Telegram are ongoing and unlikely to end by mid-August. If a designation takes place, this is likely to happen after the summer. 

Telegram said in February that it has 41 million monthly average users, which is slightly lower than the VLOP threshold of 45 million per month, under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). 

The company states that the number "relevant for calculating this threshold is believed to be even lower, since only some of Telegram’s functions may qualify as “online platforms” under the DSA."

The platform’s founder, Russian-born Pavel Durov, previously said that he thinks the company will hit one billion users worldwide in 2024. The app – which is headquartered in Dubai – currently also claims to have passed 900 million active monthly users globally. 

Telegram chose Belgium as its legal representation in the EU in May, meaning that BIPT is tasked with overseeing the platform’s compliance with the DSA – in areas such as transparency and content moderation – until it becomes a VLOP.

The U.S. Department of Justice accused the assistant governor of New York of acting as an agent of the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party. Linda Sun, who worked as Gov. Katie Hokul's deputy chief of staff, was arrested Tuesday along with her husband, Chris Hu. Both pleaded not guilty in federal court in Brooklyn.

The Justice Department said in a statement on Tuesday that Ms. Sun, 41, is accused of violating the foreign agent registration law, visa fraud, smuggling of foreigners and conspiracy to launder money.

Ms. Sun was hired by the New York City Executive Chamber more than a decade ago and worked in various positions until she was fired in March 2023, when her alleged illegal activities became known. Federal prosecutors say Sun and her husband worked for China and the CCP during these years.

“The illegal scheme has enriched the family of the defendants by millions of dollars,” said U.S. Attorney Breon Piece.

According to the indictment, Sun used her work in the Executive Chamber to prevent Taiwanese officials from accessing New York state leaders. She allegedly also manipulated the communications of high-ranking state officials in the interests of China and tried to facilitate a trip to China by a high-ranking New York politician.

“Sun has never registered as a foreign agent with the attorney general and has in fact actively concealed that she is acting at the order, request or direction of the Chinese government and CCP representatives,” the ministry said in a statement.

In exchange for their efforts, Sun and Hu allegedly received significant financial rewards, including millions of dollars through deals in Hu’s business activities in China. The Justice Department said the couple used the money to buy luxury properties in New York and Hawaii, as well as luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari. According to the ministry, another form of reward was allegedly ... Nanking salted ducks, which were prepared by the personal cook of a Chinese government official and delivered to Sun’s parents.

Her husband has been charged with bank fraud and illegal use of identification documents. It is alleged that he laundered money through a bank account opened in the name of a close relative and used a photograph of his driver's license.

The investigation is conducted by the FBI with the support of the US Internal Revenue Service.

Republican Senators Tom Cotton and Mitch McConnell have accused the Biden administration of continuing to delay shipments of certain weapons to Israel. In a letter sent to the White House on Sept. 25, the senators wrote that Israel still has not received the Mk-84 bombs used by the IDF to destroy Hamas tunnels, Apache attack helicopters and heavy D9 bulldozers.
Israel asked for Apache helicopters back in December when the war in Gaza made them necessary, and now the need for new Apache helicopters has increased as the conflict with Hezbollah escalates.
Tom Cotton and Mitch McConnell also wrote that the IDF needs heavy D9 bulldozers, which, after installing additional armor on them, are used by the Israeli military to clear roads and clear territory.

The senators warn that the Biden administration’s continued delay in deliveries puts Israeli lives at risk, increases the likelihood of escalating the conflict and harms America’s national security interests.

The Iranian-backed Houthis said they damaged three U.S. Navy destroyers on Friday in a strike with 23 ballistic missiles and drones.

A Houthi military spokesman said in a televised speech that the ships were targeted as they passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea.

"We did see a massive attack from the Houthis, from cruise missiles to drones," said Sabrina Singh, a deputy spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Defense.

"They were either shot down and shot down or failed," Singh said, referring to Houthi missiles and drones.

She said no U.S. warships were injured and no U.S. service members were injured.

An unmanned boat with remote control and explosives punched a hole on board the Panama-flagged Indian tanker Cordelia Moon as it passed through the Red Sea on October 1. The tanker was empty, the drone hit the left side ballast tank No. 6, it filled with water, and the tanker continued its way.

Living conditions in Germany deteriorated after the departure of Merkel, most Germans believe. In a YouGov poll conducted for the 70th anniversary of the former Chancellor, this opinion was expressed by 61% of respondents. Only 7% believe the situation has improved.

The opinion that after the departure of Angela Merkel from the post of Chancellor, the situation in the country has worsened, more often expressed people of the older age group: so says 71% of respondents from 60 to 69 years and 69% of respondents aged 50 to 59 years. The majority of those dissatisfied were among voters of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), 85 percent of whom believe that the situation with Merkel’s departure has worsened.

Those who believe that living conditions have become worse blame the current federal government of Olaf Scholz (28%), 15% explain the deterioration by external factors, another 55% cite both Scholz and “external circumstances”.

The general said the serious confrontation with the ambassador stems from his disrespect for Uganda's beloved president, Yoweri Museven, and undermining Uganda's constitution.

And General Muhuzi Kainerugaba, by the way, by coincidence, is his son and the future president of Uganda.

China began exercises to block all ports in Taiwan.

The Chinese army on Monday, October 14, began exercises around the island of Taiwan, saying it was sending a "strict warning to separatist forces" on the island.

Taiwan called China's maneuvers a provocation and said it had sent appropriate forces in response.

According to Xinhua, the Joint Sword-2024B exercise in the Taiwan Strait involves ground troops, naval, air force and missile forces. The Chinese military will reportedly "conduct joint assault maneuvers involving a heterogeneous strike force" approaching the island from the north, south and east sides.

Li Xi, a spokesman for the Chinese army’s Eastern Combat Command zone, said the Chinese forces planned to “focus on blocking and taking control of key ports and areas, striking sea and land targets.” The exercise will serve as a “powerful shock and awe to separatist forces,” a Chinese military official added.

Taiwanese President Lai Qingde convened an emergency meeting on national security issues, and instructed relevant structures to respond to the actions of the PRC.

Hungary wants to strip the parliamentary immunity of Italian MEP Ilaria Salis.

Salis, an Italian teacher, was arrested in Budapest in February 2023 after demonstrating against a neo-Nazi rally and charged with three counts of attempted assault and membership of a leftist organization. She denied all charges that carried a prison sentence of up to 11 years.

In a letter to her lawyer, she talked about cameras infested with rats and insects and torture.

Salis was released under house arrest in Budapest in May, and the following month she won a seat in the EU parliament as the Greens' candidate, giving her immunity from charges. She was released from house arrest and returned to Italy in June.

On Tuesday, representatives of the Hungarian Fidesz party said at a meeting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg that Budapest demands the deprivation of Salis parliamentary immunity.

During the raid, police found 20 million euros in cash hidden in the walls and ceiling of the couple's home in the town of Alcalá de Henares.

Law enforcement also found 1 million euros in his office, hidden in two locked cabinets, in 50-500-euro bills.

An interlocutor from the court told the newspaper that last week the couple were charged with drug trafficking, money laundering, corruption and membership in a criminal organization after they appeared before a Madrid court that left them in custody.

The United Nations' COP climate talks are "no longer fit for purpose" and need an urgent overhaul, key experts including a former UN secretary general and former UN climate chief have said.

In a letter to the UN, external, senior figures say countries should not host the talks if they don’t support the phase out of fossil energy.

This week the Azerbaijani president told world leaders gathered in his country for COP29 that natural gas was a “gift from God” and he shouldn’t be blamed for bringing it to market.

That came days after the BBC reported that a senior Azerbaijani official appeared to have used his role at COP to arrange a meeting to discuss potential fossil fuel deals.

The news that Volkswagen is closing three plants in Germany, laying off tens of thousands of workers and cutting wages by 10 percent for the entire workforce came as a collective shock in a country that defines itself as "Autoland," a country of cars.
The auto giant has always been a symbol of German power.

“Volkswagen is not only a symbol of the entire German economy, but also a symbol of the decline of the entire industry,” says Karsten Brzeski, head of macroeconomics at ING. The company's crisis "shows that a series of bad management decisions combined with a certain arrogance and underestimation of new technologies and competitors, as well as China's changing role in the global economy, are causing enormous damage to the entire German industry," he added in an interview with EL PAÍS.

There has been a steady stream of bad news about Germany’s manufacturing sector in recent months. The shock with Volkswagen was followed by a statement from Thyssenkrupp, another symbol of German industrial power where thousands of jobs in the steel division are at risk. In September, Meyer Werft, a shipyard with more than 200 years of history, escaped bankruptcy only thanks to urgent government assistance.

Industrial production in Germany fell by 20% compared to 2017, which was the sharpest decline in the history of the Federal Republic – that is, since the end of World War II.

Siegfried Rousswurm, head of the powerful Federation of German Industry (BDI), warned that the reforms the German economy so desperately needs cannot wait.
According to forecasts by the Boston Consulting Group and the German Economic Institute (IW), presented in September, a fifth of Germany’s industrial output is at risk of extinction in the next few years. “Deindustrialization is a real risk.”

Industrial production in Germany began to fall earlier and faster than in other eurozone countries, says Sander Thordoire, chief economist at the think tank Center for European Reform (CER) and on the shock that the war in Ukraine has had on the country's economy: The German model was based on cheap energy from slaves, which are no longer available on exports to the United States and China, which, after Trump’s victory and stagnation in the Chinese economy, are in question.

The German crisis has many facets, and none seem to be resolved in the short term: the migration of large-scale industry, an increasingly bleak demographic outlook, a failure to attract skilled labor, deteriorating infrastructure, and a marked lack of innovation.

Двое болгар на суде в Лондоне признались в шпионаже на РФ

46-летний Орлин Русев и 43-летний Бизер Джамбазов сделали признания еще до начала заседания, сообщает агентство dpa. Трое других подозреваемых по тому же делу отрицают свою вину, сообщает агентство dpa.

Следствие считает, что признавший вину Русев руководил группой шпионов, работавших на Москву. Предполагается, что он получал задания от Яна Марсалека - австрийского предпринимателя, который, предположительно, сотрудничал с рабсийскими спецслужбами и затем скрылся от правосудия.

По данным следствия, шпионская группа работала не только в Великобритании, но также в Германии, Австрии, Испании и Черногории, отмечает dpa. На судебном заседании прокурор Элисон морган заявила, что обвиняемые в период с 2020 по 2023 год получали изображения людей или объектов и составляли подробные отчеты о своих целях. Взамен они получали "значительные суммы денег", заявила морган.

В четверг, 12 декабря, парламент Швеции поддержал предложение о долгосрочном участии в составе многонациональной бригады НАТО в Латвии одним механизированным пехотным батальоном вооруженных сил, в котором будут нести службу до 600 солдат.

Планируется, что шведские солдаты прибудут на военную базу «Адажи» уже в начале следующего года. Это будет первый случай с момента вступления в НАТО 7 марта 2024 года, когда Швеция перебросит свои войска в другого члена Североатлантического союза.
