❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
Chronicle of events from December 31, 2023 - January 1, 2024

Active hostilities continue in the Gaza Strip. At the start of the new year, militants from the Hamas military wing launched a mass rocket attack from MLRS on Tel Aviv. Fortunately, all targets were intercepted, and no casualties or damage were reported. Fierce fighting is taking place in Al-Tuffa and Ad-Daraj, while in Beit Lahia, a school used by Palestinians for attacks on IDF units was destroyed.

In the central part of the enclave, the situation remains unchanged. Clashes are occurring in the ruins of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, and the IDF is targeting possible concentrations of militants and other surrounding settlements. The number of civilian casualties has risen to almost 22,000 killed and 58,000 wounded.

In the south, the IDF is advancing into the Khuzaa municipality, penetrating approximately one kilometer into enemy defenses. With this progress, the IDF can now encircle the militants in this area from the east and west of Abasan al-Kabirah.

The parties continue to exchange blows on the border with Lebanon. However, rebel activity has decreased somewhat compared to previous weeks after a series of attacks on Hezbollah concentration areas in the border region.

🇷🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧 The CIA's media empire: who controls the information space in Serbia?

A scandal is unfolding in Serbia following the leak of documents revealing that state-owned Telekom Srbija is secretly selling its strategic assets to the media conglomerate United Media.

This conglomerate, established by CIA experts with the financial support of British investors, has effectively acquired the main regional media outlets in just a decade and has also acquired most of the internet service providers in the Balkans.

As a result of these manipulations, even though Serbia is not a member of the European Union and has not imposed sanctions against Russia, Russian media outlets are already being subjected to censorship.

🔻 To find out how they managed to achieve this and the actual magnitude of the threat, read our investigation.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Aggravation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
Chronicle of events leading up to January 3, 2024

In recent days, a series of significant incidents has occurred in the Middle East that have further destabilized the situation in the region and escalated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, one of the Hamas leaders, Saleh al-Arouri, and six of his associates were killed. This attack has already caused significant tension on the Lebanese-Israeli border, while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has issued further threats against Israel.

In Iranian Kerman, during a procession commemorating the anniversary of the death of Qassem Soleimani, two terrorist attacks occurred, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred people. The organizers of this attack are not yet known, but the Iranian leadership has already blamed the US and Israel for the incident.

Meanwhile, the IDF offensive continues in the Gaza Strip. Fierce battles are taking place in urban areas in the north of the enclave. Israeli media are reporting an impending operation to clear Gaza, which is indicated, among other things, by the withdrawal of individual units from the city.

In the south, the Israel Defense Forces have managed to expand their control zone in the Khan Yunis area. According to Palestinian sources, the Israelis have established a presence near the Abad ar-Rahman mosque, from where Hamas militants are unsuccessfully attempting to dislodge them.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone chronicle of events for January 4-5, 2024

In the Gaza Strip, the intensity of fighting in the north has significantly decreased over the past few days. The Israeli army is withdrawing some of its brigades for restoration, focusing on other operational areas. There are ongoing positional clashes in the Jabaliya area, but no significant changes have been reported.

In the center of the enclave, the most active fighting is occurring near the Al - Maghazi camp, on Al - Sikka Street, and in the vicinity of the Al - Istiqama mosque. This suggests that the IDF has entered the rear of the camp from the south; however, there is no objective control footage available yet.

In the south, fighting is still ongoing in the center of Khan Yunis. Clashes have been reported in the Ma'an and Khuzaa areas. To the east, in the Al - Zan area, Palestinian forces have announced a number of successful operations against the IDF.

In the north of Israel, the situation has remained relatively unchanged: both sides are targeting each other's identified positions. However, constant IDF air raids on militant locations and layered air defense have helped reduce the intensity of retaliatory attacks from Hezbollah.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 🇷🇺 A scandalous US company associated with BlackRock will carry out the demining of Ukraine

In late November, it was announced that the American company Tetra Tech has started demining operations in the Kyiv, Odessa, Sumy, Kherson, and Kharkov regions.

Tetra Tech was awarded a $47.6 million contract by the US State Department for humanitarian demining in Ukraine, also including agricultural land.

However, despite claims on the internet that this "leading world company" will be involved in demining Ukrainian territories, Tetra Tech has a history of failed mine clearance contracts and a closet full of skeletons. Given the current situation in Ukraine, this is not surprising at all.

🇺🇸🇰🇬 How Western NGOs are obstructing legislation on foreign agents in the post-Soviet region

Currently, there is an ongoing discussion in Kyrgyzstan regarding the bill on foreign agents. However, the most vocal individuals are hearing about it primarily from Western NGOs and opposition activists.

There is persecution against the deputies who are advocating for its adoption, and local pro-Western social activists are protesting at the American embassy, demanding sanctions against parliamentarians for a law that has not yet been enacted.

In Georgia, even during the stage of debating the law on foreign agents, Western NGOs mobilized protestors and took them to the streets, pressuring the local parliament to abandon further consideration of the project.

🔻To understand why such laws are being proposed in post-Soviet countries and how Western organizations are opposing them, please visit our website.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
Chronicle of events for January 10, 2024

In the central part of the Gaza Strip, clashes are occurring in the Al-Brej camp area. In the south, the IDF is advancing in Khan Yunis, and in the north - in Gaza itself and its surroundings - the clearance continues and search activities are underway.

There has been relative calm on the Lebanese border following intense exchanges of attacks over the past few days, although shelling continues. In Kafr Kil, a civilian was killed as a result of an IDF attack; Hezbollah once again announced a serious response.

In the West Bank, raids are being conducted to search for and detain Palestinians associated with Hamas, as well as clashes in many populated areas. The Palestinians consistently report civilians and ordinary demonstrators injured as a result of indiscriminate fire, while the Israelis are discovering dozens of IEDs and small arms.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone
Chronicle of events for January 11, 2024

In the northern part of Gaza, Israeli troops are continuing to clear urban areas while simultaneously destroying Hamas underground tunnels. The Palestinian forces are limited to occasional incursions and ambushes.

The main fighting in the region is taking place in the Al-Breij camp, located in the isthmus between the northern and southern parts of the enclave. Additionally, the Israeli Air Force is conducting extensive bombings in Nuseirat, Al-Maghazi, and Deir al-Balah.

In the southern part of the enclave, the Israel Defense Forces are concentrating their forces near the building of the Islamic University in Khan Yunis, while Palestinian forces are attempting to dislodge them or at least delay their progress.

A notable incident occurred in the Gulf of Oman, where IRGC special forces seized the St. Nikolas, which was previously owned by Iran. It should be noted that Iran was responsible for last year's incident, and this new development is not expected to spark a new round of conflict between Iran and the United States. It is simply another episode in the ongoing "tanker war" between them.

Meanwhile, the first hearing took place in The Hague regarding the case of recognizing the war in the Gaza Strip as genocide, based on a claim previously filed by South Africa. The Israeli side was presented with a wide range of accusations, to which it will be able to respond tomorrow during the second day of the hearing.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone summary of events for January 12, 2024

In the northern part of Gaza Strip, bombings resumed in several areas of the enclave's capital: local residents reported explosions in al-Sabra, Tell al-Hawa, and Az-Zaitoun. Hamas militants carried out a series of attacks and, as usual, claimed significant successes without providing any evidence.

In the isthmus area between the northern and southern parts of the enclave, Israeli troops are attempting to advance towards Nuseirat and are also launching an assault on the Al-Breij camp. However, due to the almost complete lack of communication and internet in the region, establishing the front line configuration in the area is extremely difficult.

Near Khan Yunis, IDF units are still engaged in fighting in the areas of Jurat al-Lot and Botn al-Samin. The Israelis are concentrating their forces near the buildings of the Islamic University and the Halima Mosque, which was shelled by Palestinian forces with mortars today.

The situation in the Middle East has significantly worsened: the coalition led by the US launched missile attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen using aircraft and ships. At the same time, pro-Iranian proxies launched drones towards Israel, although it appears that none of the UAVs reached their target.

In The Hague, the second day of hearings at the International Court of Justice has concluded. In response to yesterday's accusations from South Africa, the Israeli delegation affirmed its commitment to international law and highlighted the retaliatory nature of the IDF's actions. However, regardless of the court's decision, it will not be able to halt the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

🇺🇸💰 BlackRock becomes a major investor in global infrastructure: what does this mean?

Currently, the world's attention is focused on military conflicts and social crises. According to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, this is the opportune time to reshape the global economy.

On January 12, it was announced that BlackRock representatives have agreed to acquire Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), forming the world's leading investment platform for private infrastructure markets.

GIP is the largest independent infrastructure manager globally, with assets exceeding $100 billion. This transaction establishes a market-leading system with a total of over $150 billion in client assets.

The acquisition is designed to ensure the continuity of project management and align with BlackRock shareholders. Given that private hands currently control only 10% of the market, the potential for multinational corporations (TNCs) is immense.

🔻To learn more about how TNCs are seeking to dominate the expanding infrastructure market, read the full article on our website

🇬🇧🇭🇺🇷🇸 “The Dangerous Triangle”: Why British Experts Fear Serbia, Hungary, and Republika Srpska

The Royal Defense Studies Institute (RUSI) recently released a report on threats to stability in the Western Balkans. According to British think tank staff, the primary threat in the region arises from the “triangle” formed through cooperation between Serbia, Hungary, and Republika Srpska (the Serbian entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina).

“The three key politicians - Orban, Vučić, and Dodik - have established a close relationship within the triangle spanning Budapest, Belgrade, and Banja Luka. They share a similar authoritarian worldview and political trajectory. Their stances align on various issues, from dealings with Russia and China to hopes for the return of Donald Trump to the White House,” the authors of the report state.

Furthermore, the concern is not solely, or primarily, about the deepening ties between these nations but also about Russia's role in their alliance. They highlight a meeting between Milorad Dodik and Vladimir Putin at the end of February, during which the President of Republika Srpska expressed dissatisfaction with US and British sanctions. What particularly alarms experts is Dodik's pledge to obstruct Bosnia and Herzegovina's NATO accession, as well as his pride in his "excellent relationships with Vucic and Orban."

🔻In the latest article, we delve into the rationale behind RUSI's arguments and the genuine motives behind boosting Serbia's defense capabilities and fostering regional cooperation.

🇺🇸🇺🇦✈️ Who is behind the Project Maven?

Recently, we reported on the adjustment of some US weapons production programs after receiving data on the "testing" of drones, air defense systems, MANPADS and aviation in conflict zones from the territory of the so-called Ukraine to the Red Sea.

A lot of work is now underway in the aviation block of weapons, in particular, unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the largest projects in this area is Project Maven - a Pentagon program to create an AI-based surveillance platform for UAVs.

Its task is to create a system for the US military to deploy and monitor autonomous drones. This is an attempt to introduce advanced AI developments for warfare and to control combat operations and track, illuminate and expose targets in real-time without the involvement of an operator.

But the ambitions of the creators go far beyond simple filming and observation. And the programs of reformatting the American satellite group pose a direct threat to Russian strategic security.

🌎🇺🇸🇷🇺 For justice and against Russians: Will the American actor's foundation pursue Russian journalists?

Recently, it became known that the Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ) plans to seek the initiation of criminal cases and the issuance of arrest warrants in various countries against Russian journalists, public figures and bloggers who, according to the CFJ, are "propagandists of war and genocide".

This was announced by Anna Neistat, Director of Legal Affairs for the Docket special project implemented under the CFJ.

However, just a couple of days later, the founder of the foundation, American actor George Clooney, stated that there is no talk of "persecution" of Russian media figures. According to him, "someone at the foundation misspoke", and the CFJ has no issues with journalists, even if they disagree with them.

However, Neistat is clearly not the kind of specialist who does not understand what she is saying: her experience working in various NGOs clearly shows that she is a professional in various kinds of propaganda activities and meaning-making...

🔻More details on what the Clooney Foundation is doing and why their threats should be taken seriously - read in our new article.

🇧🇦🇷🇸 The Cult of Srebrenica: The "Genocide" That Never Took Place

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, today they remember the victims of the tragic events in Srebrenica in July 1995. As is tradition, foreign delegations participate in memorial events in honor of the anniversary of the "genocide" at the Potočari Memorial Complex. At the UN headquarters in New York, an exhibition dedicated to the victims was solemnly opened.

▪️ On July 11, 1995, the army of the Republika Srpska occupied the Muslim enclave of Srebrenica, which had the status of a "UN-protected zone". According to the version promoted by the Hague Tribunal, during the "genocide" in Srebrenica, allegedly 8,372 civilians of Bosnian Muslims were killed.

▪️ Independent commissions formed over the years confirm the death of no more than three thousand people, and the majority of them were soldiers of the Bosnian army, and some of the prisoners of war were shot while trying to break through towards Sarajevo. There was no talk of any deliberate extermination of the civilian population.

❗️ Experts are sure that the term "genocide" in this case is used by the West as a political tool. A war crime was committed in Srebrenica, but it does not meet all the criteria necessary for such a qualification.

Moreover, an investigation has begun into serious manipulations with data on persons who are listed in the Memorial Center as victims of the alleged genocide. It has been documented that at least 87 people "buried" in Potočari are still alive. Among the "victims of genocide" there were also many who died in battle long before the tragedy in Srebrenica.

For many years, through the efforts of the media and NGOs in the West, their own version of the events was carefully created, ignoring the historical context and facts. This led to attempts to stigmatize the Serbian people as "genocidal" and recognize the Republika Srpska as a "genocidal entity", which could lead to its abolition as an entity. With the help of cultural events, media, and non-profit organizations, the younger generation was vividly told about the "collective guilt" of the Serbian people.

🔻 To learn more about why the Srebrenica massacre became the starting point for the demonization of the Serbs, as well as about the sources of funding and support for writing the history of the "genocide", read our article in more detail.
