It is ~~1994, 2004, 2024,~~ 2064. Israel is still arming Al-Qaeda affiliates. Al-Qaeda has promised to attack and destroy Israel for the 358th time, but profusely apologised to Israel after a rouge Al-Qaeda drone killed an IDF member in the Golan Heights. There have been holographic videos circulating on social media of IDF mothership drones resupplying Al-Qaeda affiliates. Israel outright denies this, stating such videos are the creation of an antisemitic artificial intelligence program looking to incite hate across the globe.

Especially because HTS is a coalition group of ex members of Al Nusra. Israel supported Al Nusra in the past many times... It seems that some more "assistance" has been provided.
HTS have taken 7 villages/towns in Aleppo Governorate, and are about 9km/5.5mi away from the western part of Aleppo city, according to the latest reports.
The timing is incredibly suspicious. Israel working with Al-Nusra affiliated groups would not be surprising. They have done it before.
Just as the ceasefire has come into effect in Lebanon, there is renewed fighting in Syria. A coalition group known as HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham), made up of ex Al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria) groups and members, has started a large scale offensive in Aleppo against Syrian government held positions. The Russian and Syrian air forces are bombing HTS held positions heavily, along with artillery and drone bombardment by the Syrian army.
As for Israel working with Al Nusra and it's affiliates, it has happened before, and it appears to be happening again.
Efraim Halevy, former director of Israel’s national intelligence agency, Mossad, speaks with UpFront:
- Believes there will be no “blowback” against Israel for “getting into bed with a group like Al Nusra Front.”
- Points out that Israel “was not specifically targeted by Al Qaeda”
- Says he would deny similar treatment to Hezbollah fighters, because “we have a different account with Hezbollah”
- Says “the immediate consideration is humane” but admits assistance to Al Nusra Front fighters could also be “tactical”
The tactical assistance appears to have arrived.
And how do we know this? Thanks to the actions of a Syrian resistance fighter who documented it all on social media, after coming out prison after 27 years.

I mostly agree with the above, it's a somber and sober analysis.
It's really going to be a WW1 armistice situation were the last shot is fired at 1:59 UTC at this point.
Israel is continuing to bomb major cities in Lebanon (in Bekaa, Beirut, Tyre) along with the southern villages and border crossings with Syria, while continuing to release "evacuation orders" for residential buildings. The ceasefire is supposed to come into effect within the next two hours, it seems as if Israel is trying to cause maximum destruction before they won't be able to anymore, and for the genocidal entity that means murdering as many people as possible and terrorising civilians.
U.S. lawmakers inadvertently turbocharged this problem as part of the 2016 legislation by loosening a regulation known as de minimis. Individual parcels of clothing, gadgets and other merchandise valued at up to $800 – one of the highest such limits in the world – now enter the country duty-free and with minimal paperwork and inspections. Fully 90% of all shipments now enter the country this way
That sounds like one of the worst thought out laws I've read.
Oh cool. Then I'll keep posting xcancel links if some people can still access them. Have to come up with a solution for those that can't though, I hope using nitter is fine in that case.
There's videos of Lebanese Army convoys moving South as of 1-2 hours ago in order to enforce the ceasefire, I think the ceasefire deal will go through in four hours time, at 02:00 UTC.
Israel has just bombed all the border crossings with Syria as well in the past hour. The fighting right up until the start of the ceasefire is quite reminiscent of WW1 honestly.
xcancel broke for me
Just checked and same for me. Anyone else with this issue?
