🇷🇺☣️ What do you know about Russia’s Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops?

Monday marks the 105th anniversary of the creation of the RCBD Troops – the specialized Russian military force designed to protect the Armed Forces and the population at large from the effects of weapons of mass destruction and liquidate the consequences of their use.

🇮🇱 IDF Killed Own Soldiers on 7 Oct. Because of Lack of Intel: US Lawmaker

👤 Sam Parker, a US Republican leader, claims that on 7 October, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) inadvertently killed many of their own soldiers due to chaos and lack of intelligence during the Hamas attack.

🇵🇸 Parker suggests that Hamas had the right to retaliate against IDF actions, emphasizing the legal and moral ennoscriptment of resistance operations against military occupiers.

"The majority of October 7th Israeli deaths were soldiers. Of the rest, many, if not most, were killed by the IDF itself in crossfire. <...> Hamas is legally & morally ennoscriptd to conduct resistance operations against its military occupiers & opponents <...>," he said in his post on the social media platform.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas on that day resulted in hundreds of casualties and ongoing tensions in the region.
