We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇮🇶 14th day of the war, October 20th status update and major events:
– Airstrikes on Gaza throughout the day, still a huge lack of food, water, medicine and electricity.
– Despite reports, Egypt and Israel still have not managed to reach a deal regarding aid to Gaza through the Rafah crossing.
– Sporadic rocket attacks by Hamas and PIJ took place on cities like Sderot and Ashkelon.
– Belgium and Oman joined the list of countries that asked their citizens to leave Lebanon.
– Hezbollah once again targeted IDF surveillance posts and troop concentrations in the settlements of Metula, Yifta, Harmon, Al-Asi, Ramim barracks, Al-Ramtha, Zibdin, Al-Radar, Ruwaisat Al-Qarn, Branit barracks and Ruwaisat Al-Alam, with ATGMs, recoilless guns, and sniper rifles. At this point, it is not unusual to see more than 10 attacks a day.
– In response to the attacks today, that apparently caused a relatively large amount of casualties compared to previous days, Israel carried out airstrikes and artillery shelling of South Lebanon, hitting Hezbollah targets and infrastructure.
– An Iraqi group identifying itself as 'The Islamic Resistance in Iraq' claimed responsibility for an attack on American bases in the country.

British man attacked for entering a ‘no-go zone’ in London.

Minister of State for Courts and MP for Finchley and Golders Green, Sarah Sackman, says religious courts like 'Shariah' are a fundamental part of 'British Values'.
A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
That shortfall—more than $600,000 per couple—is being made up by younger workers.
“Most of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behind”
