World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Their command center got vaporized along with everyone in it, 3000 plus high-ranking officials got hips, faces, and asses blown off, and they have no structural command in place to compensate for that lmao.
This is just blindly lashing out after the brain has been KOed.
Hmm. I haven't been following it, but was Hezbollah really that centralized? It seems like a super-bad idea if you're aiming to fight guerrilla war.
EDIT: This says ~300:

I mean, that's obviously still a really successful strike, but you're talking maybe an order of magnitude fewer people.
The 3000 plus were from the exploding pager and walkie-talkies.
Ah, okay, fair enough.
They had it in the middle of a residential neighborhood and figured they were safe. To bad the psychos at the head of the Israeli government don't give a fuck
It's interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood... especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.
One does not necessarily exclude the other. Just because they called one group psychos does not mean they don't feel the same for the other group.
Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like "how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields" (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).
Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict
Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that's bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.
Terrorists gonna terror...
Israel's right wing nationalists are leading the charge.
I was talking about the actual terrorist organizations, but whatever.
