The focus of political and media attention has inevitably turned from Europe to the Middle East, where the United States, through the Secretary of the Pentagon, has insisted on “Israel’s right to defend itself,” has welcomed the assassinations of Hezbollah leaders carried out by means of massive bombings in Beirut, and has given explicit approval to the ground operation with which Tel Aviv and Washington claim to want to “dismantle the attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that the Lebanese Hezbollah cannot carry out attacks in the style of October 7 against communities in northern Israel.” The precedent of the last twelve months in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon foreshadows what the ways of defending oneself against Israel will be and that the United States will continue to justify any excess, selective assassination or massacre, while any response, such as that which occurred yesterday with the launching of Iranian missiles against Israeli military bases, will be considered an unacceptable escalation. And although Ukraine’s public concern for securing priority war status has not yet begun, any escalating war could affect Kiev, especially when it comes to imposing its discourse of existential war on the West as a collective.

President Maduro Expresses Venezuela’s Solidarity With Palestine and Lebanon Against Zionist Aggression and Nasrallah’s Assassination
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro expressed the solidarity of the Venezuelan government and people with the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, victims of military attacks carried out by Israeli occupation forces with the support of the US army. Before thousands of people in the city of La Guaira, President Maduro condemned the Zionist entity for killing more than a thousand people in its attacks on civilian areas of Lebanon this week, including around 500 children, a massacre added to the genocide being perpetrated for almost a year in the Gaza Strip, with nearly 42,000 people killed, around 10,000 missing, and some 100,000 wounded.
Hezbollah leader Nasrallah defeated ISIS, protected Lebanon’s Christians, fought Israeli colonialism
Israel and Hezbollah Are Escalating Toward Catastrophe (it’s not looking good for the IOF)
Ignore the propaganda. I’ve quoted the most relevant parts of the articles:
09-23-2024 – Israel and Hezbollah Are Escalating Toward Catastrophe
For Israel, the incentives also argue against a large-scale war with Hezbollah. After nearly a year of fighting in Gaza, the IDF is tired, munitions stockpiles are depleted, public support for Israel’s leaders is weak, Israel’s economy is suffering, and its international and regional standing have significantly eroded. And IDF military planners are well aware that Hezbollah’s more advanced fighting capabilities and sophisticated weapons arsenal would make the Gaza campaign look like child’s play.

Israeli Shock and Awe in Lebanon Aims to Create Anger, Fear, Panic, Division
Accompanying Israeli aggression against Lebanon is a central psychological element of “shock and awe” meant to amplify the very real destruction and damage being done to Lebanon and Hezbollah.
It is designed to create fear, anger, panic, division, and desertion among US-Israeli opponents and disrupt the ability to resist military operations.
Independent media, by remaining objective and avoiding sensationalism, creates a bulwark against the effects of “shock and awe.”

[2011] Golden Apollo held the FBI’s heart with a walkie-talkie
Kim Apollo held the FBI’s heart with a walkie-talkie (translated by Google Translate)
The recent conflicts in the Middle East have caused this 2011 article to attract attention and discussion. However, according to the statement of Golden Apollo on September 18, 2024, Golden Apollo only provides brand trademark authorization for the model involved, and production and sales are through the Hungarian partner BAC Consulting. Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs also stated that there is no record of Golden Apollo being directly exported to Lebanon. The models exported from Taiwan are equipped with AA batteries and there is no possibility of explosions causing casualties.

Release time: 2011-07-27Golden Apollo sells walkie-talkies that are almost extinct in Taiwan, but its professional technology, customization and strict quality control have helped it win orders from European and American governments, ranking first in the United States and second in Europe.
Pagers and walkie-talkies have not been seen by many people for a long time. They were products that were eliminated several generations ago. Many major manufacturers have even listed them as antiques and put them in exhibition rooms. However, there are manufacturers in Taiwan that continue to work intensively, making the pager number one in the United States and second in Europe. Even the FBI is its customer, and its gross profit margin is not inferior to that of HTC and MediaTek.
