This will be my last post until Monday of next week. Will be on the road for Memorial Day.
Meanwhile, after posting this I’ll be pullout out my snow shovel to deal with the joys of spring time here in the Redoubt and shovel my sidewalk from the latest snowstorm :)
Globalism / Great Reset –
Upcoming meetings of importance
- WHO pandemic ‘treaty’ May 2024
***
JPMorgan Chase is planning to rollout a biometric payment system and make it available to all U.S. retailers by early next year. This will enable shoppers to make purchases without pulling physical paper (fiat currency) or plastic (credit/debit cards) out of their wallets. All they will need to do is submit to having their palms or faces scanned upon entry into a retail store.
OBSERVATION - Biometrics as a means to secure the digital ID and credit system trudges on under the push by WEF/globalist affiliated mega corporations like JPMorgan. They will push this forward, incrementally, until the full policy is in effect with no other options. And by doing so, bypass reluctant governmental institutions.
***
House republicans are demanding details concerning the impending WHO pandemic ‘treaty’. I don’t expect any response from the WH any time this decade on that request.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
Some unidentified, unnamed ‘source’ in the FBI claims that lethal measures order was also given when biden’s homes were searched. The level of skepticism broke the meter.
***
13 countries in Oregon have now voted to join Idaho, consisting of about 2/3 of the area of the state. This action joins similar movements in Washington State (Liberty State) and Kalifornia. Any real split is years down the road and will be fought legislatively and legally tooth and nail by the leftists in the uber-blue urban concentrations along the coast.
Personally, I’d like to see a completely separate state be formed. There would be some shifting in the House, but the big one would likely be the solidification of additionally conservative republicans in the Senate - potentially shifting the power away from the democrats for a generation.
Economy-
Federal Reserve officials said earlier this month that they are prepared to raise interest rates again if inflation doesn’t show further signs of cooling, according to minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting released on Wednesday.
“Various participants mentioned a willingness to tighten policy further should risks to inflation materialize in a way that such an action became appropriate,” the minutes said.
The minutes also highlighted that several participants believe household and business spending may need to decline for inflation to sustainably reach the Fed’s two percent goal.
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/05/22/fed-minutes-may/
OBSERVATION - If household and business spending decline more - we will definite collapse into a hard recession. There are so many sectors of the economy that were damaged from the plandemic and follow-on policies of the Fed and the regime that it will take years to untangle. The high fed rates alone are bleeding the economy hard and fast already.
Further note - IF the fed continues to freeze the rate or even raise it to deal with the rising inflation rate - you can bet your retirement fund that Wall Street will freakout and take a plunge, as many WS speculators are counting on rate decreases in the near future - keeping the market high.
POLITICAL FRONT –
July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL
***
My bad, yesterday I said the Trump hush money trial was going to the jury. Actually, closing arguments are set for next week before that happens.
***
As it stands right now, biden will not appear on Ohio’s November presidential ballot without major intervention by the DNC and potential court challenges. Will Ohio’s republicans show backbone or collapse? The republican controlled Ohio legislature current is unwilling to make a change in the law to accommodate the DNCs much later than usual national convention.
Biden / Harris Watch –
biden announced that he is canceling $7.7 billion in student debt for 160,000 borrowers. This in a gross violation of the USSC judgement against the practice. Nothing will happen- as the US under the leftists are slipping into a new - lawlessness realm.. Or rather, a “new” law realm.
Illegal Immigration –
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said it is not Joe Biden’s job to secure the US border amid an invasion of millions of military-age men from the most dangerous parts of the world.
“Why should he have to do it unilaterally?” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Jacqui Heinrich replied, “He took unilateral action before to undo [President Trump’s border security]!”

Reports that Kalifornia is becoming the hot spot for illegal penetrations. What is also being reported around the inter webs is that the predominant illegal demographic entering are from middle eastern and asia (china) and fewer latin american illegals.
China –
China launched exercise Joint Sword 2024A, surrounding Taiwan from all directions. Chinese media reports the exercise will be held from 23-24 May & focuses on “joint sea-air combat-readiness patrols, joint seizure of comprehensive battlefield control, & joint precision strikes on key targets.”
China has reportedly begun live fire drills surrounding Taiwan, including its outlying islands such as Kinmen. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command stated that the drills are “a strong punishment for the separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces and a stern warning against the interference and provocation by external forces”.
Taiwan’s military is responding to Chinese exercises by deploying supersonic Hsiung Feng III (HF-3) anti-ship missile batteries & air defense systems around Taiwan.
45 PLA aircraft were detected around the island—26 crossed the ADIZ & came as close as 41 nautical miles. Largest incursion of the year. 15 Navy ship, 16 Coast Guard ships are also in the region.
The Taiwanese Coast Guard and Chinese navy are currently having a standoffs in the Taiwan Strait
OBSERVATION -
This is a significant exercise by itself. The deployment of Chinese forces clearly shows the concept towards a blockade of the Island versus a direct, amphibious assault. The last exercise of this size was the one after pelosi visited the island.
I’ve noted the goals and intent of theses Chinese exercises for a while now, but in summary they ‘
1. Normalize large-scale activity around Taiwan, to deceive about future intentions.
2. Bullies and seeks to coerce the democratic government of Taiwan.
3. Projects an air of “inevitability” to the region/world about its eventual takeover of Taiwan.
One aggressive action that may soon happen is the seizure of the Taiwan administered island of Kinmen, located very close to the mainland. That seizure would be another tool to place pressure on Taiwan to acquiesce or surrender to Chinese terms.
A potential flash point in this exercise is the maneuvering of Chinese naval / coast guard assets into Taiwanese controlled regions. As noted above, Chinese vessels have been warned to stay back. Water cannons won’t be used, but real cannons could.
China has the capability to mount a significant blockade of Taiwan right now as well as seize Kinmen Island. I’m on the lookout to see what the Chinese Naval order of battle for this exercise is and in particular the deployment of any of the aircraft carriers.
Russia -
NUCLEAR THREATS –
Russia is conducting a tactical nuclear drill near Ukraine, an exercise announced about two weeks ago. An example of putin’s “escalate to de-escalate’ policy is designed to be a warning against growing NATO involvement in the Ukraine war and potential use of weapon systems in direct attacks on Russian territory.
***
Russia’s top arms control diplomat Wednesday dismissed as fake news an assertion by the United States that Russia had launched a weapon into low-Earth orbit that was capable of inspecting and attacking other satellites.
The Kremlin has flatly denied assertions by U.S. officials that Moscow is developing a space-based anti-satellite nuclear weapon. But on Tuesday, U.S. Space Command said Russia had launched an anti-satellite weapon.
Russia’s actions in space conformed to international law, the Kremlin said Wednesday.

Russian Military Trains have recently been spotted near the City of Yefremov in the Tula Region heading Southeast towards the Border with the Sumy Region of Northeastern Ukraine. The equipment all have the new tactical marking seen recently during Russian Offensive operations in the Kharkiv Region suggesting that there may be a similar operation into the Sumy Region.
Some OSINT observers are noting a similarity to the build-up prior to the start of the war.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs continue in the 70’s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Russian Ministry of Defense claims control over Andriyivka village of Donetsk region, southeast of Chasiv Yar.
“Generic” missile strikes in Dnipro and Kharkiv.
Fighting continues to be fierce in the Ocheretyne and Chasiv Yar regions.
Outlook —
From current reports, it seems that Russian action are shifting somewhat in the Chasiv Yar region to the south, concentrating on a potential attempt to by pass to a degree Ukraine defenses and further stretch Ukraine forces. Two towns in that area have fallen to Russian forces in the last few days supporting that observation.
Potential Russian push into and towards Sumy may be building up. If it is in the cards, such an action may be weeks away though I don’t currently have good numbers on the present force buildup - possibly again in the neighborhood of 40,000. The big question is did the bureaucrats pocket the money that was supposed to be put into building defensive barriers like what appears to have happened in Kharkiv, or have they properly constructed barriers and defensive positions?
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Operations continue to expand in Rafah.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
The International Court of Justice will issue its decision tomorrow, Friday, regarding the request for a ceasefire in Gaza
***
Videos have been released showing Hamas capturing and abusing female Israeli soldiers.
***
The U.S. has established an air defense system at the Gaza pier. Pictures posted by multiple sources online show what appears to be a C-RAM system being present at the pier.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
The Israeli army is expanding its operations in Rafah to new areas and approaches the city center. Israeli troops advanced into Rafah’s Brazil and Shaboura neighborhoods, following “information on terror targets in the area,” the military says. The Israeli army says the operation in Rafah is being carried out in an “accurate manner while preventing harm to the civilian population as much as possible, after the civilians have evacuated the area
Renewed violent clashes between Hamas fighters and Israeli forces inside Jenin camp in N Gaza.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
About 30 missiles were launched from southern Lebanon towards Israeli positions in the Upper Galilee
Israel army says it has killed a senior Hezbollah official who was in charge of developing strategic weapons in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near the town of Kafr Dajjal, just south of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah confirms the killing of one of its members in an Israeli raid on Nabatieh.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The Commander of the Revolutionary Guard reportedly met with representatives of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and Hezbollah.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Germany said Wednesday it will abide by an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and detain Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he step foot on German soil.
——— FORECAST ————————-
Operations throughout Gaza and in particular Rafah continue at a high tempo and will continue to do so for the immediate future. Not noted in many of my posts but present in UN et al complaints are Israeli attacks on hospitals. Like demonstrated before, Hamas likely has occupied the hospitals for military bases, removing protections.
IRGC meeting up with the various “Islamic Resistance” factions is likely two fold. One is to re-establish command relations that have been degraded by Israeli attacks (IRGC and Hezbollah in particular) as well as to try to stimulate more actions by the ‘resistance’, or at least look at other avenues of attack.
Central / South America General-
Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa declared a new state of emergency in seven provinces on Wednesday.
A rising number of violent deaths and crimes was cited as the reason for the measure in Guayas, El Oro, Santa Elena, Manabi, Sucumbios, Orellana and Los Rios provinces, and one area of the Azuay province.
The measure will be in effect for 60 days according to a decree signed by the Noboa.
A state of emergency was declared in January after Jose Adolfo Macias, a dangerous drug boss, escaped from maximum security detention.
The president said the country was in a an, “internal armed conflict” and ordered the army to “neutralize” 22 criminal groups.
However, the Constitutional Court ruled the previous emergency declaration in five provinces was not sufficiently justified.
OBSERVATION - January, Ecuador was almost borderline civil war. The escape of Macias sparked significant fighting between a relatively unified (under Macias) gang army and govt forces. After a couple weeks of fighting the gangs were partially defeated. Now having regrouped, gangs have been pressing for control again. Ecuador is also attempting to duplicate the successful anti-gang program of El Salvador, which has made that country one of the safest in the region.
Reality for the US is that the narco-terrorist element has been growing almost exponentially in the US due to the open border policy of biden, and similar conflicts here in the US may soon be on the way.

Globalism / Great Reset –
Upcoming meetings of importance
- WHO pandemic ‘treaty’ May 2024
The WHO concluded talks on Friday after weeks of closed-door talks in Geneva, Switzerland.
The hard stop of next week’s annual gathering of the U.N. subsidiary’s 194 member states is drawing closer which is why a deal is wanted sooner rather than later by organizers.
Giving the talks very little chance of successfully concluding on time, he said he thought countries would likely press for discussions to continue and hold talks about more talks further down the line.
The rolling draft agreement is not being made public, but a version as it stood on Thursday, seen by AFP, showed large sections have been approved. The outlet further noted:
The main disputes revolve around issues of access and equity: access to pathogens detected within countries, and access to pandemic-fighting products such as vaccines derived from that knowledge.
Other tricky topics are sustainable financing, pathogen surveillance, supply chains, and the equitable distribution of not only tests, treatments and jabs, but also the means to produce them.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has already dampened hopes of a deal, saying a conclusion this week seemed “very unlikely,” as Breitbart News reported.
OBSERVATION - Various countries and organizations appear to have finally taken a closer look at the sweeping powers and authority that would be granted to the WHO and decided to take a step back from the table. As I said in a recent post here, it does seem that some of the changes/amendments that have gained displeasure have been watered down and could easily be amended later back to their original form. Part of this too is the global pushback from the wuhan virus plandemic actions reaching the various govts as well. Many see the WHO original plan was to build upon those restrictions and losses of freedom with a much more totalitarian response action to not only another ‘epidemic’ , but expanding it to other “health crises” such as global warming and gun violence.
Nope, we are not out of the woods on this one yet.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
biden has made three very concerning statements over the past few days that are directly applicable to the CW2 realm.
First - celebrating the 4th anniversary of Floyd’s death he posted on “X’
“George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.
He changed the world.
Now, let’s act in his memory.”
Question arises - what actions is he calling for? Since Floyd didn’t inspire new health care, or peace and tranquillity - the only other option is renewed violence in our cities.
Second came at his address at the West Point graduation ceremony. In it he suggested the United States military must be prepared to intervene in domestic political affairs against President Trump.
Is biden planning on instituting Martial Law and Invoke the Insurrection Act during the 2024 election? A massive constitutional crisis on top of another likely constitutional crisis.
Finally, Biden is reportedly planning on giving a public address after the jury reaches a verdict, POLITICO reported. Sources are indicating that he will likely address the hush-money verdict from the White House, not at a campaign event, to avoid the appearance of Biden making a political statement on the trial’s outcome.
Does biden have insider information on the out come of this trial even before it goes to jury deliberation? Judge Merchan has been doing everything possible to guide the jury to a guilty verdict - even ripping apart the law requiring jurors to unanimously agree on a predicate crime in order to fund President Trump guilty of trying to hide one. Essentially, the jurors do not need to believe a crime was committed in order to convict Trump of unlawfully hiding a crime he never committed.
MY OBSERVATION ON THESE THREE ITEMS - These actions and plans are the most aggressive posture and stated goals that biden et al regime has made to date and have pushed the potential for a hot CW closed to the red zone. Calling for civil unrest/riots, setting out a warning order that the military may become involved in the election process and jumping ahead to the verdict address all point to that. Is strongly suggests to me that the regime is losing confidence in winning the election the ‘normal’ way and are positioning themselves to apply a greater effort and use of govt power to shut trump down. One cannot ignore that we are approaching the most dangerous period in our Republic’s history and that the period between the party conventions and inauguration day in Jan 2025 will be the most dangerous of all.

IN RELATED -
Over 70 organizations have joined a coalition called “March on the DNC” and plan to protest President Joe Biden for being “complicit in the genocide” of Palestinians, a spokesperson for the group told Time Magazine. Despite the federal government granting $75 million to the city for security measures, Democratic Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez told the Daily Caller that the incoming gatherings are “raising some serious concerns.”
The 1968 DNC in Chicago saw tens of thousands of demonstrators sweep the city’s streets to protest the Vietnam War. This year there is a confluence of rekindled Floyd style riots combined with anti-Israeli and anti-illegal immigrants that may form a perfect storm
Anyone following the news can well see that local violence is happening on smaller scales almost daily. Provide the ability to hide in a crowd and do worse is very tempting of today’s younger generation - and accelerated by older generation urging.
POLITICAL FRONT –
July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
August 19 DNC convention in Chicago, IL

Trump hush money trial anticipated to go to jury this week
Illegal Immigration –
Schumer called for amnesty for all “11 million” illegal immigrants yesterday. Is biden willing to try to issue an EO declaring that amnesty before the elections? Growing public opinion is very strong against that potential, even tot the point of supporting mass deportations. Any amnesty will become a potential breaking point in a potential CW2 scenario as well.
China –
China exercise Joint Sword 2024A,, a military exercises encircling Taiwan was significant
- Largest fleet of PLA Navy & Coast Guard integrate & practice a blockade
- Further normalization & targeted pressure on frontline islands
There has been no sign of any Chinese heavy vessels such as amphibious assault ships or aircraft carriers taking part. The speed at which a blockade could be initially set up was impressive. When reinforced by its aircraft carriers and other capitol ships, it would make life very difficult for Taiwan.
Chinese calculations would have to factor the willingness of western allies forcing the blockade and potential expansion of conflict into a potential world war.
A blockade is the lead option for China. A full on invasion is currently the least expected in that it would have to be a massive operation that would be relatively easily detected and require a massive number of ships to assault and supply the operation. To say it would be a target rich environment is and understatement and China has never launched an effort of this size.
Considerable concern for a full-on blockade grows as it is likely that the US may become chaotic and unable to aggressively respond in the the face of Ukraine support and upcoming elections. China may see this as its window of opportunity, especially as it sees the likelihood of Trump returning to the WH grows.
I recommend the link to a thoughtful article on just how much of an opportunity China may be seeing

North/South Korea –
RUMINT and other associated scuttlebutt that Russia and NK may conspire to create some sort of “October Surprise”
Japan –
The Japan Self-Defense Forces will participate for the first time in the U.S. military’s Valiant Shield exercise, with part of the exercise taking place in Japan, said Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara on Friday.
OBSERVATION - Participation seen as a response to increasing Chinese aggression in the region.
Russia -
Over the weekend, Russian border guards remove markers from Estonian waters in Narva River
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said at the government’s weekly press conference on Thursday that this is a border incident and the exact circumstances are being clarified.
OBSERVATION - Estonia has been very vocal in supporting Ukraine and speaking out against growing Russian expansionism. Under some instances, removal of national boundary markers could be considered an act of war.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80’s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP – Well, slightly more than 24 hours for today’s post
Russian Ministry of Defense claims full occupation of Ivanivka village of Kharkiv region of Ukraine
Russian Ministry of defense claims full occupation of Netailove village, west to Donetsk
Ukraine drone attacks reported in Oryol, Krasnodar, Belgorod and Bryansk region overnight. 1 firefighter killed in Oryol region
Outlook —
A lot of mixed signals on the ground action in Ukraine over the weekend. Ukrainian Armed forces reportedly have halted Russian offensive at Kharkiv axis and conducted counter-offensive actions, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine reports
After the initially rapid advance by Russian forces north of Kharkiv, progress in this area has slowed significantly. Russia has continued to make progress inside Vovchansk on the north bank of the river.
As noted above, Russia has claimed capture of two small villages.
Bottom line is fog of war. The Kharkiv push appears to be reaching its end. Russian assaults further south continue to press hard against Ukraine defenses.
A serious setback is being noted is the due to the intensity of Russian GPS jamming on US munitions.
Russia’s jamming of the guidance systems of modern Western weapons, including Excalibur GPS-guided artillery shells and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which can fire some U.S.-made rockets with a range of up to 50 miles, has eroded Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory and has left officials in Kyiv urgently seeking help from the Pentagon to obtain upgrades from arms manufacturers.
The success rate for the U.S.-designed Excalibur shells, for example, fell sharply over a period of months — to less than 10 percent hitting their targets — before Ukraine’s military abandoned them last year, according to the confidential Ukrainian assessments.
Six months ago, after Ukrainians reported the problem, Washington simply stopped providing Excalibur shells because of the high failure rate, the Ukrainian officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive security matter. In other cases, such as aircraft-dropped bombs called JDAMs, the manufacturer provided a patch and Ukraine continues to use them.

Europe / NATO General –
Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nauseda won re-election by a landslide in a vote marked by defence concerns over neighbouring Russia, official results showed.
The count published by the electoral commission on Sunday showed that Nauseda won 74.6 per cent of votes with 90 per cent of ballots counted after polls closed in the second-round vote.
Voters “have handed me a great mandate of trust and I am well aware that I will have to cherish this,” Nauseda, 60, told journalists in Vilnius.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Israel ignores ICJ order and continues Rafah operations.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
The floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million is turning into a fiasco. First, stormy weather has damaged the pier, breaking off segments and grounding them. Secondly, virtually all the aid that has been unloaded has been stolen by Hamas and other armed elements and not reached UN supervised distribution sites.
***
The IDF released videos and images showing the entrance to a Hxmas tunnel system where the bodies of four hostages—Ron Benjamin, Amit Buskila, Itzhak Gelerenter, and Shani Louk—were found last Friday.
Israeli officials reported that the tunnel entrance was inside a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) building.
***
The Knesset is set to hold a preliminary vote designating the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a terrorist organization, by which it will then sever all ties with the body that is the main relief service provider for 5.9 Palestinian refugees in the Middle East.
“The purpose of this bill is to declare UNRWA as a terrorist organization for all intents and purposes as well as order the termination of the relations [and the cooperation] of the State of Israel with the agency, either directly or indirectly,” Israel Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovksy wrote in the introduction to the bill, which she authored. Jpost
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
Intense fighting and IAF airstrikes throughout all of Gaza overnight.
IDF claimed it struck a Hamas compound, killing two senior officials from the militant group. Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and parts of central Israel on Sunday after rockets were fired at the city for the first time in months, according to the Israeli military. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.
35 people were killed in that Israeli strike in Rafah on Sunday, the Hamas affiliated Gaza health ministry said. The strike hit a camp for displaced people, according to Gaza authorities.
The strike has created an international outcry, even though it has been demonstrated that Hamas hides in these refugee camps and fires at Israel and Israeli forces from them.
IDF strike eliminated Khaled Nagar and Yassin Rabia, senior officials in Hamas’ West Bank command responsible for murder of Israelis between 2001 and 2003, including late husband of MK Limor Son Har-Melech; both freed in 2011 Shalit deal
***
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Sunday night spoke to the media about the continued fighting in Gaza, and the rocket fire on central Israel.
A total of eight rockets were fired in the barrage, some of which were intercepted. One person was injured while running for shelter, and a home was hit by shrapnel.
“As IDF forces near the site, Hamas empties its rockets,” he explained. “They launched the rockets from between a mosque and a school.”
Hagari noted that the launch was carried out just 800 meters from the IDF forces stationed nearby.
“We see this pattern of action in many places where we operate. The launch was carried out from between a mosque and a school; we attacked and destroyed the launcher a short time after the launch - and our forces continue operating in the area.”
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/390582
This was the first such attack in 4 months. The volley aimed at central Israel was launched from Rafah.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
More than 60 missiles were launched from southern Lebanon towards Israeli positions in the Galilee finger
Another Hezbollah rockets barrage on northern Israeli. Hezbollah claims 12 attacks on Israeli forces and towns since the morning

———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Spanish Foreign Minister: The decisions of the International Court of Justice are binding and must be implemented
——— FORECAST ————————-
Global hit pieces amplifying over the weekend, as Israel publishes videos of captured Hamas terrorists describing the horrors of torturing Israelis on Oct 7, along with the evidence that UNRWA was complacent in the holding of Israeli hostages.
Israel continues to methodically work thru Rafah to eliminate increasingly desperate Hamas forces. Action in central and N Gaza on regrouped hamas and related to continue as well.
The weekend also saw an increase in Hezbollah rocket attacks, more likely related to retaliatory strikes in response to recent Israeli hit on its leadership. I don’t see evidence that they are in support of Hamas.
