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.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel’s destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
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.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

    I think that the Axis of Resistance needs to start working on spoofing and hardening devices against GPS (i am certain they already have).

    Techniques like this have been put into practice as early as 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–U.S._RQ-170_incident

    GPS itself is a weak signal on a known set of frequencies, trivial to jam. For military applications, a different frequency is used, with encryption. It can still be jammed, but you cannot feed it arbitrary data. The spoofing attacks are likely not practical any longer unless the target is using civilian GPS receivers. Modern military hardware likely combines GPS data with other sensor inputs (compass, gyros, altimeter, VOR/DME, etc) as a measure of redundancy. A big goal is for the drone / cruse missile to be radio silent as much as possible. To not require continuous (detectable / jammable) remote guidance en route to the target.

    i don’t know if you can stop all civilians in the area from using map software

    They might not be thrilled about it, but you can.

    but in this case i mean double checking communication devices for tracking bands (many chips can be built to only transmit at certain frequencies)

    This is limitation of radio devices in general. You cannot build a transmitter or an antenna which is functional at any arbitrary frequency. The antenna needs to be a harmonic fraction of the wavelength (frequency) being used, otherwise it reflects power back at the transmitter instead of over the air, and does a poor job receiving signals. The transmitter itself is designed to operate within a specific band. There is no trivial way to make a VHF radio transmit on HF bands, unless it has the circuitry built-in to do that.

    Shit does need to be physically inspected to make sure extra circuits / antennas haven’t been added though. Microwave antennas (e.g. the one in your Bluetooth earbud) are very small, and can literally just be a small zigzag trace on a printed circuit board.

    But how do you think the West determines where to put the laser if not via satellite imagery? And if they are figuring out a location from satellite imagery, what would they use if not GPS, which was put into space for this purpose?

    They choose targets based on satellite imagery (along with other intelligence sources), but I am pretty sure lasers are used on the same platform firing the weapon (the plane). Going back to the Gulf War in 1991, GPS systems were already being undermined by general radio jamming techniques. Possibly even as an unintended benefit of systems aimed more generally at jamming military communications. While it is possible to fuck with laser targeting systems, it is not something you can do just by setting up an antenna and transmitting garbage. They are much more resilient against interference, and if you already have a plane flying the JDAM to its target, you might as well point a laser at it.
