🚨BREAKING: RUSSIA ADVISES AGAINST TRAVELING TO LEBANON | NEW WAR? The Lebanese MEA Airlines also cancelled half of all flights, and moved 60% of their aircrafts to Turkey for 'insurance' reasons. I've received UNCONFIRMED reports that Israel has communicated with the Lebanese airport, threatening to strike if Hezbollah does not stop the attacks on the Israeli border. These reports, from airport employees, are still UNCONFIRMED. This comes after an escalation of clashes on the Israeli Lebanon border, which is ongoing: TODAY'S CLASHES ON LEBANON BORDER: - Hezbollah launched an attack on IDF posts along the Israeli Lebanese border using anti-tank guided missiles and gunfire, striking five Israeli sites in Shebaa Farms and Kfar Shuba - Israeli artillery bombed the vicinity of Kafr Shuba, as well as the farms of Bastra and Shanouh in southern Lebanon. MOSCOW'S FOREIGN MINISTRY: 'The situation in the Middle East is heating up. We strongly recommend that Russian citizens refrain from traveling to the region, especially to Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian territories' ANALYSIS: My concern of Hezbollah joining the war, dragging Lebanon into the conflict, is rising by the day. If this happens, the risks for a much larger regional conflict with global implications goes up drastically. In yesterday's space, we had an Iraqi diplomat explain why he believes Iran will join the war through proxies if Israel enters Gaza, arguing that the U.S has been trying to convince Israel to change course. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. The ball is in Iran/Hezbollah's court. Can they accept the end of Hamas, or will they join the war and support their ally?

🚨 BREAKING: CHRISTIAN CHURCH EXPLOSION IN GAZA This church is reportedly one of the oldest churches in the area, and was home to around 50 Christians and Muslims who were displaced from their homes due to the war (other sources, including the guard of the church, claim the number could be in the hundreds, but we have not been able to verify this) Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya could only confirm 2 casualties so far, however many claim the number could be a lot higher. We are waiting for further details to verify those claims. WHAT HAPPENED: Initial reports show that a building next to the church, the 'counselor building', was bombed by an Israeli warplane. This caused collateral damage to the church, leading to the collapse of one of the three buildings of the church. This building belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church in downtown Gaza City. It's important to note, there were false reports this church was destroyed a few days ago. These reports were rebuked by the church which was unscathed at the time. We do not yet have accurate details on the number of casualties or the details of the strike. Source: Al Jazeera
