Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Deadly Gaza battles, Hezbollah rockets as war enters 10th month
Next time don’t start a war with Israel, guys.
[GEO.TV] Israel carried out deadly air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday as the war entered its 10th month, with fighting raging across the Palestinian territory and fresh diplomatic efforts underway to halt the violence.
Not real diplomatic efforts. Hamas is throwing things against the wall to see what triggers the international world to force Isrqelto surrender, while Israel is placating the Israel/Jew-haters in the Biden administration, including the president.
Lebanon's Hezbollah movement fired another 20 rockets at northern Israel, leaving one person injured there, the latest cross-border attacks launched in solidarity with Gaza's Palestinian group Hamas.

Efforts towards a truce continued with US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators hoping to halt the worst-ever Gaza war, which has caused mass civilian casualties and devastated the coastal territory since Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel.
More importantly, don’t start a war with Israel by committing a mass atrocity that would have made the Nazis proud.

Another one bites the dust.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
At least two people killed in Iranian frigate sinking in southeastern Iran
[NINANEWS] "Fars" News Agency reported that two people were killed in the sinking of the Iranian Navy's "Sahand" frigate in the southeast of the country.

The Agency added that the cause of the accident was likely due to a malfunction in the ship's balance tank or the entry of water after repairing the destroyer's shaft.

For its part, the Iranian "Mehr" News Agency explained that the frigate was involved in an accident in the waters of the coastal city of Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province, southeast of Iran, at the entrance to the Arabian Gulf.

#8  Heard in Algiers, or, The Bermuda Crescent

"From West Bank to East Bank the best
Way to cross is the bridge. Heads due west.
To get to the Quarter,
Just follow the water
Downriver, due north."
"A beau geste! Uh, cher."

Total lie, of course. Gotta take the ferry. Caught the fireworks from practically underneath, lounging on the rail of the ramp one magic muggy July evening. After being irked that the boat was delayed, no less.
