Israel Hits Damascus Three Times in One Week
Around midnight of October 22, Israeli missiles struck Damascus International Airport. At noon two days later, in an unusual daytime strike, Israel once again directed missiles toward the airport. Then, just last night, another airstrike pummeled areas near Damascus. Targeted were weapons and equipment from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which were bound for Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon. The IRGC presence in the region continues to grow as Iran quickly fills in the vacant areas left behind as Russia pulls more and more troops out of Syria to fight in the conflict with Ukraine.
Joint Israeli Operation into the Lion’s Den
A force made up of IDF soldiers, members of Shin Bet, and anti-terror agents raided a Nablus-based terrorist organization called Lion’s Den early Tuesday. The target was the group’s leader, Wadee al-Houh, who was killed in the operation. The ensuing gun battle lasted over an hour and left four other terrorists dead and more than 20 injured. No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the operation. Lion’s Den was operating an explosives laboratory in the Kasbah of Nablus, and they were responsible for the October 11 drive-by shooting that took the life of 21-year-old IDF soldier Ido Baruch. The murder of Baruch took place only two days after a similar drive-by shooting in Jerusalem killed 18-year-old IDF Military Policewoman Noa Lazar.
Russia Accuses Ukraine of Planning Dirty Bomb Attack
Until recently, all most people knew about dirty bombs is what they learned from the TV show 24. Now, they’re all over the news as Russia accuses Ukraine of having one of these nuclear-waste-packed explosive devices ready to detonate in one of the Russian-occupied regions of their country. Ukraine, in turn, says that Russia is creating a false flag, so that they can use a dirty bomb themselves in an attempt to sway public opinion against Ukraine while giving Moscow an excuse to respond with a true nuclear weapon. And by all indications, Putin is fully prepared to “go nuclear”. Just yesterday, Russia held its annual Grom (Thunder) exercise, which simulates a massive nuclear strike in response to an enemy nuclear attack.

Russia Continues with Plan to Freeze Ukraine
Recently appointed Russian commander in Ukraine, General Sergei Surovikin, is living up to the infamy of his reputation as he continues to pursue his apparent goal of causing the freezing deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians this winter. One electricity plant after another has fallen to Russian bombs, as Surovikin methodically destroys the infrastructure of the nation. Currently, 50% of Ukraine’s electricity plants are destroyed or damaged to the point of being unproductive. This is not conventional warfare; these are crimes against humanity.
Nations Stand Against Russia
Just yesterday, Poland’s Senate voted in a resolution that declared Russia to be a terrorist state. As part of the resolution, the senators stated their desire for the International Criminal Court to investigate the Russian military for possible war crimes. Meanwhile, the UK, France, and Germany are together encouraging the UN to investigate Russia’s use of Iranian drones in Ukraine, which would violate a UN Security Council Resolution. Both Russia and Iran continue to deny Iran’s provision of drones and their involvement in the training of drone pilots. This is despite the fact that Iranians have been turning up amongst the Russian casualties in Ukraine. In response to the possibility of a UN investigation, Russia has threatened to not renew the deal to sell Ukrainian grain. Moving to Israel, we see that factions within the country are dipping their toes into the anti-Russia waters. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that if he is elected into office once again, he will consider providing weapons to Ukraine. That will be one more reason for Russia to come against Israel.
I am sorry, Russia is the good guy here. If you want to back bioweapon labs, pedophile rings and money laundering amongst a few activities, go ahead. But we all know where your final destination will be.
