We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇸🇾/🇮🇶 30th day of the war, November 5th, status update and major events:
– Extremely heavy airstrikes on Gaza, journalists called them 'unprecedented' and possibly the worst since October 7th.
– The Royal Jordanian Air Force dropped medical aid packages to the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza.
– The death toll in Gaza has officially surpassed 10.000.
– Notably, Hamas carried out two large scale rocket barrages on Tel Aviv and other cities in central Israel, showing that they still have the capability to carry out attacks.
– Two Iron Dome missiles misfired and struck Israeli streets in Tel Aviv.
— Ground situation in Gaza:
– To the north of Beit Hanoun, the IDF retreated towards the border fence. To the north-east of Beit Lahia, Israel holds most of the surrounding farmlands on the outskirts of the city, and has begun entering the urban area, where heavy clashes are taking place.
– After entering from the As-Siafa area in the north-west of the Gaza strip, the IDF has advanced along the coastline until the Al-Shati camp. The strip they control is about 1km wide from the shore measured inland, and about 7.5km deep from As-Siafa to Al-Shati camp.
– After entering the middle of Gaza from the east through Juhor Al-Dik, the IDF advanced in the north of Wadi Gaza past Al-Mughraqa, reaching Al-Rashid street on the coastline and establishing control over it, effectively cutting off the last road connecting the north to the south. Clashes are currently ongoing in the southern outskirts of Gaza City, mostly in the neighbourhood of Wahsh as well as areas near Salah Al-Deen road.
— Outside of Gaza:
– Hezbollah targeted several settlements across the Lebanese border with ATGMs, confirming casualties. As a response to the killing of 4 Lebanese civilians, they shelled the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona with 122mm 'Grad' (Katyusha) rockets, causing direct impacts. The Iron Dome failed to intercept most of these rockets. Hezbollah reportedly also downed an Israeli UAV, although this has not been confirmed. Additionally, Hezbollah announced 3 more martyrs, making a total of 61.
– Israel carried our airstrikes and artillery shelling of South Lebanon as a response to these attacks.
– U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Baghdad to meet with Iraqi PM Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani. He left for Ankara after a few hours.
– The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the U.S. base in Tal Baidar, in Syria's Hasakah province, with two suicide drones, as well as the U.S. base in Erbil Intl. Airport.

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
