Israel Defense Forces @IDF: “Hezbollah launched approx. 40 projectiles toward northern Israel moments ago. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted numerous launches, however, a number of hits that fell—ignited fires.

Additionally, five suspicious aerial targets were identified. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted three of those targets.” 3:29 PM · Jun 13, 2024 https://x.com/IDF/status/1801230445935231243 (see video at link)

Blog comment: Projectiles apparently means it could be rockets or missiles, but Fox news has said rockets. The suspicious aerial targets are being called drones by Fox news. Maybe we should call them UFOs, since they are unidentified flying objects?

Israel Defense Forces @IDF: “We make the headlines only with blood.” “No blood, no news.” -Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar documented by @WSJ Sinwar profits off the deaths of Gazan civilians, calling them “necessary sacrifices” in order to urge international pressure on Israel’s efforts to eliminate his terrorist organization.

Hamas leaders don’t care about Gazans. How many times do they have to say it for themselves before the world believes them?

“Hezbollah Issues Warning, News on The 700 Club – June 13, 2024”

The fact that Hamas doesn’t want peace, but only the destruction of Israel, was mentioned by Gordon Robertson in the 700 club video. However, their general news also mentioned Russian aggression in the Caribbean, and falsely presents Russia’s arrival in Cuba as a tit-for-tat, as has most news. The only apparent lull in Russia’s aggressive posture in the Caribbean was when Putin was trying to get their debt forgiven and access the WTO in 2001. Russia was also busy attacking and destroying Chechnya (1994-1996 and 1999-2009): “Vladimir Lukin, a senior lawmaker and former Russian ambassador to Washington, told NTV television that Russia’s decision to close the Cuba and Vietnam posts should be reciprocated. Moscow is pushing for debt rescheduling and Western support for its attempt to join the World Trade Organisation. While the decision could win Putin points internationally, especially with the United States, some observers predict he could run into domestic trouble for his decision”. Castro was angry about the closure. See: “Analysis: Russia’s Cuba spy dilemma” October 19, 2001 https://edition.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/americas/10/18/russia.cuba/index.html There may have been a lull in the 90s for similar reasons and because they were involved in the Chechen war. However, Russian imperialism has been a problem for a very long time. Russia was frequently an aggressive problem even before the Russian Revolution – for instance the original Crimean War. Russia’s been sending warships, again, to Cuba since they invaded the Republic of Georgia in 2008. While Russia continued to have their spying station in Cuba until 2002, they apparently didn’t send warships after 1991 until late 2008. Russian warships have continued to go to Cuba from 2008 up until today. What has changed is the US attitude. When Germany was threatening Haiti in the World War I period, US marines went into Haiti to protect it from Germany.
