Leaked NYT style guide reveals biased reporting on the Palestine-Israel conflict (Part 2)
“So, the fact that The New York Times is trying to avoid using 'occupation' and deceive its readers is an attempt to control the narrative. It's about control… and that's what they want to do, control the narrative in Israel's favor,” Fantina said.
“Fortunately, people aren't buying it anymore because of the prevalence of social media and people seeing what's actually happening. And the prevalence of independent news sources. They're seeing that, yes, Palestinian people are being massacred in huge numbers – men, women, and children,” Fantina stressed.

“Even the United States government accepts [Palestine is] occupied, and that's saying something,” noted author Robert Fantina on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program. Fantina made the observation in response to a leaked New York Times memo instructing its reporters not to use the term “occupation” in regard to Israel’s control of Palestine.
“So, the fact that The New York Times is trying to avoid using 'occupation' and deceive its readers is an attempt to control the narrative. It's about control… and that's what they want to do, control the narrative in Israel's favor,” Fantina said.
“There are international laws governing occupation,” he added. “For the occupied, they have the right – the legal right – to resist the occupation in any way at their disposal, including armed struggle. That is specified.”

Israel’s ‘limited’ strikes on Iran: What’s known so far
◻️ Israel has conducted missile strikes on Iran, with explosions heard in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, as well as near the 8th base of the Iranian Air Force, US media reported.
◻️ Fox News in turn cited unnamed sources as saying that the Jewish state had carried out “limited strikes” against Iran in the early hours of Friday in retaliation for Tehran firing a barrage of missiles and drones at Israel last week.
◻️ US news outlets also reported a missile attack on a nuclear facility in Iran, as well as explosions near an Isfahan airport.
◻️ Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, however, downplayed reports of an attack, saying that Isfahan is "safe and sound."
◻️ According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, there was no an Israeli missile strike on Iranian territory, with the country’s air defenses downing several Israeli drones in the skies over Isfahan.
◻️ Southern Syria and a province in Iraq have been hit by an Israeli airstrike, per Iran’s IRNA news outlet.
◻️ Restrictions imposed on Friday morning on the operation of a number of Iranian airports have been lifted, Iranian Civil Aviation Organization spokesman Jafar Yazarloo said.
◻️ Neither Israel nor the US has commented on the reported strikes yet.

Unique Russian EW complex helps heavy flamethrower system survive Ukrainian drone attacks
The Volnorez (Breakwater) mobile electronic warfare (EW) complex protected the Russian TOS Solntsepyok (Scorching Sun) unmanned heavy flamethrower system from Ukrainian drone attacks in the special military operation zone, the system's developer named Stanislav told Sputnik.
Up to six Ukrainian First Person View (FPV) drones unsuccessfully tried to destroy the Solntsepyok vehicle for at least six hours after Russian soldiers had to temporarily abandon the TOS "in the open field" due to a malfunction, Stanislav said.
The Solntsepek was then repaired and returned to service, he added, praising the Volnorez for its ability to "save both human lives and military equipment. The Volnorez system, first unveiled at the Army-2023 military-technical forum, can be installed on any military hardware, including tanks, armored personnel carriers and boats.
The system is widely known for its modular characteristics, which means that the Volnorez can be modified in accordance with the frequencies necessary to suppress enemy FPV drones in a given sector of the front line in real time.
