Turning his camera on intimate details of his own life in besieged Gaza, Medo Halimy, reached viewers far and wide, revealing a maddening tedium that's largely left out of Western news coverage about Israel's genocidal war. | It was another day of the Israeli genocide in besieged Gaza, another day of what 19-year-old Palestinian TikTok star Muhammed (Medo) Halimy called his "tent life." ■ As he often did in videos documenting life's mundane absurdities in the blockaded enclave, Halimy on Monday walked to his local internet cafe — rather, a tent with Wi-Fi where displaced Palestinians can connect to the outside world — to meet his friend and collaborator Talal Murad. ■ They snapped a selfie — "Finally Reunited" Halimy captioned it on Instagram — and started catching up. Then came a flash of light, 18-year-old Murad said, an explosion of white heat and sprayed earth. Murad felt pain in his neck. Halimy was bleeding from his head. ■ A car on the coastal road in front of them was engulfed in flames, the target of an Israeli air strike. It took 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Hours later, doctors pronounced Halimy dead.

An intense rocket attack on the Russian city of Belgorod At least 5 civilians murdered, including women, despite efforts of paramedics to save them, 37 injured, including 6 children, 3 of whom in serious condition along with 7 adults, according to preliminary info by Ukrainian Nazis has killed at least 4 civilians, wounded 12 more, and caused extensive damage to civilian infrastructure. Ukraine attack[ed] a kindergarten, shopping malls, parking lots, and residential houses with NATO-supplied Vampire rockets filled with widely-banned cluster munitions. Even civilian passenger buses were hit by shrapnel | The city of Belgorod is completely civilian; there are no military bases, airports, storage warehouses or other facilities. The attack was designed to be against civilians! [...] UPDATE 10:51 PM EDT -- This attack comes after reports began surfacing in the US, CLAIMING (not yet verified) the US has granted permission for Ukraine to attack interior Russia, with U.S.-Supplied weapons. One weapons system which is being specifically mentioned in these reports, is the HIMARS with ATACMS long-range missiles. Of course, these particular weapons require in-flight guidance from...U.S. military satellites. So if the U.S. is now allowing Ukraine to select targets and have U.S. satellites guide the weapons to those targets, the Russian Foreign Ministry says this makes the US an active party to the conflict.

Persecution of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France is by no means a coincidence, but part of the disturbing trend of curtailing free speech, investor and host of the largest show on X, Mario Nawfal, told Sputnik. | X giant Mario Nawfal sat down with Sputnik on Friday to discuss Telegram CEO Pavel Durov's arrest, globalist attack on free speech, and what's next for X and Elon Musk. According to the entrepreneur, Pavel's arrest is "a reminder that free speech and even privacy is becoming more and more of an illusion, rather than reality."

💬 "We’ve seen the censorship that happens in every single country around the world, including... Europe, the US, Brazil. Pavel’s arrest takes another social media platform off the list of those who want to censor, those who want power," Nawfal said, suggesting that Rumble and X could become the next targets.

💬 "We’ve seen in the UK recently as well with the riots what happens when free speech is cracked down [on], and it’s not pretty. We’ve seen people arrested and go to jail for months and years for things they said online," Mario said, referring to warnings from the UK Crown Prosecution Service against "online violence" earlier this month and subsequent arrests over online posts.

The X Spaces host doesn't rule out that he also has a target on his back. Commenting on reports that in fact Durov came to France at the invitation of Emmanuel Macron, Mario revealed that he himself was invited to interview an unnamed country’s president just days before Durov’s arrest. Nawfal now believes that it could have been a trap

The French Ministry of Defense reacted to some news about the UAE freezing the implementation of the contract of purchasing 80 fighter jets from this country. | The statement of the French Ministry of Defense said that the claims published on social networks about the UAE's opposition to the purchase of 80 fighter jets due to the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France are baseless. [...] "The United Arab Emirates is considering the possibility of a complete blockade of military-technical cooperation with France after being detained in Paris of Telegram founder Pavel Durov," Avia.pro reported with reference to the media. The media also report that after Durov's arrest, the UAE has already frozen the implementation of the contract for the purchase of 80 fighters from France, the portal noted.
