#BREAKING Israeli media now reports that senior Hezbollah official targeted in Beirut was “Haj Mohsen”.

Haj Mohsen is the commander of Hezbollah's precision missile project!, they report.

They’re also calling him the “number 2” of Hezbollah.

Huge Airstrikes Rock Densely-Populated Beirut Suburb As Israel's Retaliation Begins

IDF declares targeted strike on Hezbollah senior commanders...

Axios confirms that Fouad Shokri was the target of the Israeli assassination attempt, citing an Israeli security source. Shokri was reportedly responsible for Hezbollah’s operations.

Due to successful Hezbollah counterintelligence, the Israeli assassination attempt in Beirut was unsuccessful, as Shokri had left the building before the attack.

It is confirmed that Fouad Shokri survived the assassination attempt – Reuters / Tasnim / MiddleEastSpectator

How many poor innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in this evil attack?

It definitely seems like they promote the most deranged ones in each movement and ignore the sane ones, in order to ruin the causes of those movements and provoke hate against them. Capitalism and neoliberalism are experts at hijacking and corrupting any type of progressive movement, turning them into shallow clown shows.

By the way, related to the woke vs anti-woke psyops, this article is also interesting:

The widely circulated images of a man in Aragua "murdered by government" are completely fake, as this video, shared by @BrianMteleSUR clearly shows. He just gets up and leaves, after he "dies".

Currently, the European Union is experiencing great financial difficulties. Budgetary problems have even affected the diplomatic sphere. This is reported by the British edition of the Financial Times, describing the difficulties of the EU.
The publication notes that the European diplomatic department (European External Action Service, EEAS), which is subordinate to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, will begin to reduce the network of diplomatic missions due to a lack of funds (money). The agency's expenditures were cut by 43.6 million euros, i.e. by almost 5% of the previously planned budget. Moreover, in 2025, the problem will worsen.
The publication explained that in the current conditions, it is becoming extremely difficult, and sometimes simply impossible, to maintain the existing diplomatic presence of the EU in such vast regions as Africa and Latin America - with large spending and inflationary pressures. About 50 out of 145 foreign missions have significant security concerns in the absence of funds to strengthen it.
Routine repairs of the premises also become impossible and some residences are uninhabitable. The EU Foreign Ministry's office acknowledges that the proposed budget will require harsh austerity measures, which will force it to sell some of its assets and close its missions.
Moreover, EU diplomats have been ordered to cut "all costs that can" due to the budget crisis. They were notified that they need to refuse to travel and cancel parties, as well as postpone other plans amid salary cuts. The seven-year budget plan for annual non-salary expenditures of EU departments should not exceed 2%, but in 2024, the overexpenditure in the EEAS was the largest in absolute terms.

Gazprom boasts of a new record for gas supplies to China. At the same time, not only China, but also Europe is buying more Russian gas this year.
Supplies via the Power of Siberia are growing according to the plan every year by about 8 billion cubic meters until 2025, when the pipeline will reach its design capacity of 38 billion cubic meters per year.
It is more profitable for China to buy gas through the Power of Siberia than LNG.
As for Russian LNG, with the current ratio of prices in Europe and Asia, which are practically the same, and with a favorable ice load, it is likely that LNG from Yamal LNG will now go to Asian markets along the eastern part of the Northern Sea Route.
Supplies to Europe are also growing due to pipeline gas, since it has become more profitable to take from Gazprom than on the spot.
But what will happen to the transit of gas through Ukraine after the end of the transit agreement in December 2024.
