Israeli army destroys three schools in southern Lebanon, minister says
At least 20 schools have now been completely destroyed in Southern Lebanon, with 100 more damaged.
The Israeli military has looted and destroyed three schools in southern Lebanon, according to the country’s education minister.
Israel “looted” the schools before using explosives to reduce them into “piles of ashes”, Education and Higher Education Minister Rima Karami said in a statement carried by Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) on Friday.

ReplyDeleteThis morning, Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck the second-largest order-fulfillment center of the Russian ecommerce giant Wildberries.
Seen here, the Moscow-area facility, completely engulfed in flames, sends a massive plume of smoke skyward over Russia's capital.

This Is True.
ReplyDeleteIf only Hussein, Nasser & Assad hadn’t started that 1967 war they totally didn’t have to start… the West Bank, Sinai, Gaza & Golan would still be in Arab hands.
But sure, let’s all cry about ‘67 borders like they were some holy peace line 😂
Meanwhile Israel absorbed 850k+ Jewish refugees with zero UN whining while Arab countries kept their Palestinians in camps as political weapons.
Two refugee crises. One side solved it. The other still runs on it 78 years later.

Chess grandmaster and long-time dissident Garry Kasparov drops a chilling warning on Putin’s next moves: The Baltic states are Russia's next target.
ReplyDeleteKasparov dismantles any naive hopes for immediate peace negotiations with a fundamental truth about Kremlin psychology: "Putin always escalates when he is in trouble."
With Russia’s military logistics fracturing under drone strikes, historic fuel rationing across 78 regions, and a looming banking crisis, Putin is cornered. Historically, a cornered Putin doesn't de-escalate—he doubles down to shift the narrative.
According to Kasparov, a desperate strike or severe provocation against a NATO member like Estonia or Latvia is highly probable. The goal? To test NATO’s Article 5 resolve and exploit perceived Western hesitation.
"The moment Putin loses the war, his time in power is over," Kasparov warns. Weakness from the West won’t buy peace—it will only expand the battlefield. 🇺🇸🇪🇪🇱🇻🇺🇦 #Kasparov #BalticStates #NATO #Putin #RussiaIsWeak #UkraineWar #Geopolitics
