    Yeah, like that makes a difference. “Precise strikes”. Sounds official and somehow acceptable. Not. An attack is an attack. How would you, or any one of us, react if somebody lobbed a hand grenade or two into your home? That is an unprovoked act of war. Indeed, escalation of war. They are executing their programs. As usual.

    Footage shows the calm in Iran's capital Tehran after explosions were heard in the city.

    The Israeli military command had announced the beginning of an Israeli aggression earlier.

    Sources told Al Mayadeen that the circulated videos and images of the strikes are false and outdated, additionally, the sources confirmed that Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad International Airports were not targeted in the aggressions.

    Updates so far from RT. (There's nothing at all from Iran's PressTV)
    • 00:13 GMT
      The Israeli strike “appears to have targeted” a weapons depot and a barracks or office in Tehran, NBC News reports citing two senior Arab officials.
    • 00:10 GMT
      “We understand that Israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in Iran as an exercise of self-defense and in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1st,” spokesperson Sean Savett said in a statement to NBC News.
    • 00:08 GMT
      Israel notified the US about the looming strikes “shortly” before launching its raid, Fox News reports.
    • 00:05 GMT
      The scale of the attack was not clear, and there was no immediate information on damage in the Islamic Republic. A Tehran resident told AP that at least seven explosions could be heard in the capital.

    https://english.alarabiya.net/News/m...ate-media-says

    Israel launches ‘precise strikes’ on ‘military targets’ in Iran: Statement

    Israel has said it is conducting “precise strikes” on military targets in Iran in “response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel,” according to an Israeli army statement published early morning Saturday.

    A US official told Al Arabiya English that Washington is aware of reports that Israel has launched an attack against Iran and is closely monitoring the situation.

    The official also said US military assets were in place ahead of tonight’s operation to prepare for potential Iranian responses.

    The scope of the attack was not immediately clear.

    Early in the evening, several loud explosions were reported in Iran’s capital, Tehran, and the nearby city of Karaj, Iranian media said, though there was no official comment on the source of the blasts at the time.

    Later, Iran’s state-linked Fars news agency reported its initial findings suggested multiple military bases west and southwest of Tehran were attacked by Israel.

    Israel has been planning a response to a ballistic-missile barrage carried out by Iran on Oct. 1, Tehran’s second direct attack on Israel in six months.

    More from RT:
    • 00:54 GMT
      The situation in Tehran is “normal,” with no reports of fire or smoke, according to the Iranian state news agency Tasnim. There were no explosions at the Tehran refinery, and no incidents at Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports, which continue to operate normally, according to the agency.
    ~~~

    It might be way too early to post anything like this. But all the news agencies, including RT and Al Jazeera, are working really hard to try to find anything at all to report, apart from that nothing much seems to have happened.

    It might be that the Israeli strikes were so far from Tehran (e.g. on remote military bases in the mountains or deserts) that no-one in Tehran has any real news yet.

    Or, just possibly, with all the caveats in place about propaganda, we may hear that the Russian S-400s have done exactly what they were there to do — destroy all the incoming missiles before they could hit anything at all.

    The Iranian National Air Defense Headquarters released a statement following the Israeli aggression on Iran in the early hours of Saturday.

    The attack was successfully thwarted with limited hits in a few areas.

    The Israeli aggression further proved #Iran's readiness to face any threat and highlighted the military and technological capabilities of the Islamic Republic.

    Quote Posted by Michel Leclerc (here)
    My reminders are about languages, Shaberon, and only concern them.

    ...

    You keep suggesting that Semitic does not have much substance because the name Shem etc etc. It does not matter; when we call Hebrew an Anacondic language and Akkadian also, they will both be related because they will both share the essential characteristics of Anacondic languages. Semitic is just the linguistic consensus term for that group of languages. Feel free to ignore it, by all means.


    I don't think I've attempted to replace "Semitic" as the current name of a language family.

    Where does that word or name come from?

    We found, for example, "Aram" attested in Ebla around 2,300 B. C. E., and nothing about Shem until the Book of Genesis, which is, maybe, around 500 B. C. E..

    Then we found an Aramaic Shem. It's not a person. No, there aren't any tablets known to confirm this...it is Aramaic oral tradition. It just happens to be likely that Aramaic is as old as Akkadian, and, most likely, South Arabian is as well. With no "ancient Arabian texts", we know that the area was physically inhabited by Arabians in that era.


    In several studies, I observed "Canaanite" being used in lieu of the "interior" dialects such as Hebrew and Arabic, and some level of presumption these were "developed" out of a lingua franca or central language.

    Whereas Proto-Elamite "is" something, the "Semitic" chart is full of placeholders like Southern, Eastern, and Proto-Semitic, which are predictions, of which nothing has been found. Some Semitic languages such as "Himyaritic" cannot be found to distinguish themselves from their neighbors, and may not qualify as existent.


    So, yes, Zionism is originally Anti-Semitic in the sense of Anti-Arab, the body type.

    Since around 1980, it is anti-Persian as well, having lost this original friendship. Moreover, they keep turning to this as the "real" enemy. perhaps in consequence of it being pro-Semitic or in having taken Arabic as an "upgraded" language, brought it enough insight to discard the initial support.


    I and some others are perhaps a bit more concerned about the contents of languages, and how they are put to use. What things are removed, what is installed, how has the knowledge base been shaped. This is fundamentally good vs. evil, and, at least, what I would call "wisdom" is a difficult process of ruminating the ideas in pursuit of ways to reduce suffering.

    I have no other motive. Zero. That is my purpose in any language, or field of study, area of attention, etc., and in this regard, "Bloodlines" and Millenialist "End Times" are extremely dangerous. I don't think I can get anyone to actually drop such tightly-held beliefs, but, we may be able to contain the spread. What if these ideas upon which Israel is reliant simply did not exist in man's mind. It would never happen.

    The likely scenario is that "Noah" is an interpretation of the Babylonian myth studied during the Captivity, to which, "local" or Semitic figureheads were appended. Ironically, Ham and Japeth are Semitic, by way of creation, until such time as any external reference supports them. Shem's existence is corroborated by the Arameans, although of a different nature. The "sons of Ishmael" are corroborated by the Assyrians. That means Abraham would have lived around 800 B. C. E.., although, it could be accurate to take a "symbolic" Abraham of ancient times, with "Ishmaelites" who are "distant descendants".


    People taking certain versions of this literally and very seriously frames most of what we see around the Holy Land these days.


    Unlikely to be resolved in the next few days, Blinken says that Netanyahu "won't change". Lebanon sent him packing--cease-fire would be great, but, the terms are the terms, there are no negotiations.

    We're not quite sure how Russia is taking this:


    Quote The Zionist media sources announced that a high-ranking Russian delegation has entered the occupied territories to discuss the possibility of reaching a ceasefire agreement and exchange of prisoners between Tel Aviv and the Hamas movement.

    The Saudi Al-Hadath outlet reports that the delegation brought a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Russian President Vladmir Putin to end Israel’s ongoing military campaigns against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

    The report comes after the Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzouk told the RIA state news agency earlier today that the two prisoners, Alexander (Sasha) Trufanov and Maxim Herkin, will be among the first to be released during an eventual hostage release, but only as part of a ceasefire deal and an exchange of hostages for Palestinian security prisoners.

    There seems to be limited damage to military sites in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam; refinery and airport have been normal.

    Much like the general said a few days ago. They'll try to make headlines. It won't accomplish much. Instead there are Russians asking about Russian people missing in Gaza for over a year.

    This, perhaps, represents the show:


    02:41 Iran State TV: Explosions heard near Tehran were caused by the activation of air defense systems
    02:37 Iraqi media: Six explosions were heard in Tikrit, Samarra and Al-Dour in Salahuddin Governorate
    02:36 Syria defenses confront hostile targets over Damascus: SANA


    Does that win one over from the BRICS summit?

    At the BRICS summit when Putin held final meetings with leaders, he held a meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and in a message to Israel, part of the message was that he wants the bloodshed in Gaza to end quickly and he also said that Russia wants to help settle the conflict quickly. More details of his message in the following video.

    During an interview with Kremlin-backed media outlet RIA Novosti (Russia's state owned news agency) today, Mousa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of Hamas's political bureau, announced that the group is ready to prioritize the release of two Russians held in Gaza, Alexandre "Sasha" Troufanov and Maxin Herkin, in a POTENTIAL future deal with Israel. He said that "out of respect for Russia" they will be prioritized and that it would be in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

    Sasha Troufanov, age 30, is a design engineer for Amazon who was stolen alongside his family from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. His father was murdered that day. Sasha was taken along with his mother, grandmother and girlfriend who were released in November.

    Maxim Herkin, age 35, was invited to the Nova Festival by friends at the last minute. He is not typically a party person, and planned to just go for a few hours before returning home. He is the father of a 3yo child and financially supports his mother and 11yo brother.
