The IDF spokesman says that in the last 24 hours Israeli ground forces conducted several limited raids in the area close to the border inside the Gaza strip in an effort to "clean the area" from Hamas fighters and search for missing Israelis.

This is the first step before a ground invasion to test the area for weaknesses. Back in 2006, the Israeli army did such raids for weeks, before they actually invaded in the last week and a half.

The Israeli army fired additional flares over the border with Lebanon, over Ramiah village.

Telegram is not yet vetted under the DSA censorship law by the European executive body, but the commissioner in charge of it, the French Thierry Breton, has signalled will into this.

In the DSA ‘risk management framework’ study dated August ⁠24, released August ⁠30, the EU executive reminded of its specious distinction between “misformation” and “disinformation” (page 50): “As opposed to misinformation, disinformation is defined by the speaker's intention” (it can be false content or truthful, but misleading, shared with a malign intent). The report even goes to regretting that “not a single platform has any explicit policy on disinformation or even state-backed disinformation”.
