Israeli Forces Fired on Food Convoy In Gaza, UN Documents and Satellite Analysis Reveals: CNN
Israeli forces fired on a United Nations convoy carrying vital food supplies in central Gaza on February 5, before ultimately blocking the trucks from progressing to the northern part of the territory, where Palestinians are on the verge of famine, according to documents shared exclusively by the UN and CNN’s own analysis.
CNN has seen correspondence between the UN and the Israeli military that show the convoy’s route was agreed upon by both parties prior to the strike. According to an internal incident report compiled by UNRWA, the main UN relief agency in Gaza, which was also seen by CNN, the truck was one of 10 in a convoy sitting stationary at an IDF holding point when it was fired upon.
No one in the convoy was hurt, but much of its contents – mainly wheat flour desperately needed to bake bread – were destroyed. Tracing the strike offers a window into the major challenges that humanitarian efforts face in getting aid to Gaza’s more than 2 million people – nearly 85% of whom are internally displaced – amid Israel’s nearly five-month bombardment of the strip.
“A convoy that had food on it, heading to the northern parts of the Gaza Strip. That convoy on its way in what we call the middle areas, it got hit. One of the trucks carrying supplies was hit by Israeli naval fire,” Juliette Touma, global director of communications for UNRWA, told CNN.g3

US Navy's Battle Against Yemen 'Largest Since WWII"
The US Navy continues to battle Yemeni forces in the Red Sea to support Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza
The US Navy's current conflict with Yemen's Ansarallah-led armed forces in the Red Sea is one of the most significant battles the US Navy has fought in decades, a US admiral said on 18 February.
"I think you'd have to go back to World War II where you have ships who are engaged in combat," Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told the CBS News' 60 Minutes program in an interview broadcast Sunday.
"When I say engaged in combat, where they're getting shot at, we're getting shot at, and we're shooting back," he continued.
Cooper, the deputy commander of the US Central Command, said the Navy had committed about 7,000 sailors to the Red Sea. CBS reported that the Navy had fired about 100 standard surface-to-air missiles against Yemeni missiles and drones.
Since mid-November, Yemen's armed forces have been attacking shipping vessels linked to Israel sailing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea.

Canada’s Conservatives Realize They Can’t Be Anti Digital ID and Pro Online Age Verification
Online age verification requires a form of digital ID and causes the loss of online anonymity.
Canadians these days find themselves in quite a bit of pickle, online privacy and security-wise.
The current Liberal government is well known as a radical underminer of those – but what would the future hold if the opposition, i.e., the Conservatives, came to power?
They would – as the Conservatives’ statements this week are reported (or, interpreted – as the party “signaling” its policy) – thread quite lightly, and seek some sort of compromise, such as can be achieved on issues of this nature.
Namely, the party is still opposed to introducing digital ID, but doesn’t mind allowing what’s effectively one of its components – online age-verification.
Regarding the digital ID, the Conservatives maintain that measures imposing it or infringing on people’s privacy and right to access whatever content online they want is wrong.
As of the time of this writing, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion over who said – and meant – what – perhaps, not by accident.
The Canadian Press first cited opposition leader Pierre Poilievre and others from his party as saying the Conservatives support Bill S-210 that would ask for online platforms to – somehow – verify that those accessing porn sites are in fact of age.
But the problem was never the intent, rather the way to technically achieve this, while refraining from infringing on people’s privacy, such as asking for their government-issued ID, and the like.
So – how does one do it? The report, somewhat logically, asserted that a digital ID might do the trick.

Moon Landing: US Clinches First Touchdown in 50 Years
A spacecraft built and flown by Texas-based company Intuitive Machines landed near the moon's south pole on Thursday (Feb 22), the first U.S. touchdown on the lunar surface in more than half a century and the first ever achieved by the private sector.
NASA, with several research instruments aboard the vehicle, hailed the landing as a major achievement in its goal of sending a squad of commercially flown spacecraft on scientific scouting missions to the moon ahead of a planned return of astronauts there later this decade.
But initial communications problems following Thursday's landing raised questions about whether the vehicle may have been left impaired or obstructed in some way.

Scientists Announce Discovery of ‘Very Strange’ 240 Million-Year-Old ‘Chinese Dragon’ Fossil
Scientists in Scotland have revealed a remarkable discovery of a "very strange" 240 million-year-old "Chinese dragon" fossil.
The international team from National Museums Scotland revealed their discovery—found in Guizhou Province in southern China—of the Dinocephalosaurus orientalis, a 5-meter-long aquatic reptile from the Triassic period dating back an estimated 240 million years.
"It is yet one more example of the weird and wonderful world of the Triassic that continues to baffle palaeontologists," said Dr. Nick Fraser, Keeper of Natural Sciences at National Museums Scotland in the statement announcing the discovery. "We are certain that it will capture imaginations across the globe due to its striking appearance, reminiscent of the long and snake-like, mythical Chinese Dragon."

OPCW Watchdog Attributes 2015 Syria Chemical Attack To ISIS: Report
The report shows ISIS units deployed sulphur mustard gas via their artillery munitions on the town of Marea, amidst ongoing accusations against the Syrian government
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) stated on 22 February that there are "reasonable grounds" to believe that ISIS perpetrated chemical weapons attacks on the town of Marea, close to Aleppo, in 2015.
The Investigation and Identification Team (IIT) of the watchdog determined that ISIS militants utilized sulphur mustard in attacks across various parts of the town on 1 September 2015.
According to a OPCW report, ISIS units deployed sulphur mustard gas via their artillery munitions on the town of Marea between 9:00 and 12:00 pm. OPCW's report stated, “The chemical agent was delivered using one or more artillery guns."
IIT discovered that 11 people who were exposed to a "black, vicious substance" present in projectiles at the attack location exhibited symptoms that aligned with sulphur mustard exposure.
The recent report emerges amid ongoing accusations by the international community that the Syrian government conducted chemical attacks within its borders, allegations that Damascus vehemently denies.
In 2014, Syria relinquished its chemical weapons arsenal to a collaborative effort between the US and the OPCW, which then supervised the dismantling of these weapons.
Damascus asserts that the chemical attack was “staged” to exert pressure on and discredit President Bashar al-Assad's government.
Last August, Syria's UN representative affirmed that Washington provided chemical weapons to extremist militant groups in the Arab state's western provinces in addition to training them for false-flag operations.

$14 Billion US Aid Package for Israel Crafted to Prepare for ‘Multi-Front War,’ Not Just Gaza
The $14 billion is included in the $95 billion foreign military aid that was recently passed by the Senate
The $14 billion in additional military aid for Israel that President Biden is seeking was designed not just for operations in Gaza but also to prepare Israel for a “multi-front war,” The Times of Israel has reported.
A senior Biden administration official told The Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the $14 billion is “for Israel to defend itself in a multi-front war and to be sure it can deter a multi-front war.”
Israel has been escalating airstrikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah, though many strikes have killed civilians. The fire across the border risks a full-blown war, and there are no signs tensions will ease anytime soon. Israeli officials have been threatening to invade if Hezbollah doesn’t move back from the Israel-Lebanon border.
US officials have acknowledged to The Washington Post that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might view war in Lebanon as key to his political survival, as polling has shown Israelis want him to step down after the current conflict.
Israel also appears to be attempting to provoke Iran as several members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in Syria since October 7. According to The New York Times, Israel was also behind a covert attack on two natural gas pipelines inside Iran.

The $14 billion is included in the $95 billion foreign military aid that was recently passed by the Senate
The $14 billion in additional military aid for Israel that President Biden is seeking was designed not just for operations in Gaza but also to prepare Israel for a “multi-front war,” The Times of Israel has reported.
A senior Biden administration official told The Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the $14 billion is “for Israel to defend itself in a multi-front war and to be sure it can deter a multi-front war.”

US Intel Has "Low Confidence" in Israeli Claim That 12 UN Staff Participated in Hamas Attack
The US and several other Western countries cut funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after Israel claimed that several members of the organization participated in the Hamas attack on October 7. The US intelligence community has “low confidence” in the veracity of the Israeli assertions. The Washington Post reports having evidence of a single UNRWA member in Israel.
In January, Tel Aviv began circulating the claim that 12 members of UNRWA attacked Israel on October 7 and that scores of other members have ties to Hamas. The release of the claims was timed with the International Court of Justice ruling that Israel was plausibly committing genocide in Gaza.
Earlier this month, Tel Aviv released a summary of its intelligence for the assertions to several news outlets. After reviewing the Israeli dossier, multiple outlets reported that Israel had provided no evidence to back the claims that members of UNRWA are aligned with Hamas.
Still, Washington and several other top donors to UNRWA backed Tel Aviv’s allegations and cut funding to the agency. Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the claims as “highly, highly credible.”

Genomics Expert Kevin McKernan Shares Summary of DNA Contamination Found in the COVID mRNA Vaccines & Preliminary Evidence of DNA Integration
"The fact checkers who told you this DNA won't get into the cell are proven wrong by this data. We can see DNA in there. It's a very high copy number...We've also found two genome integrations. This has not been replicated like all of our qPCR data, so this is very early, but we have fusions of DNA between the spike sequence and Chromosome 12 and between the spike sequence and Chromosome 9. This needs to be confirmed with long read sequencers where we can span the entire integration event...But we shouldn't be seeing any of this...So a little bit more validation to do in this but still a little bit concerning."
*From the 2/23/2024 International Crisis Summit-5 in Washington DC. Quote is taken from the 9:50 mark.

Netanyahu’s Post-War Plans for Gaza Call for Military Occupation "Without Time Limit"
Israel has released its first draft of its plans for post-war Gaza. Throughout the four months of a brutal onslaught, Israeli forces have decimated the Strip and killed 30,000 Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s post-war plans call for “operational freedom of action in the entire Gaza Strip without a time limit” and “demilitarization” of Palestinians.
The Israeli government first released the document to some media outlets on Thursday (Feb 22). According to the translation from NBC News, the document says, Israel will “maintain its operational freedom of action in the entire Gaza Strip, without a time limit,” and “The security perimeter being created in the Gaza Strip on the border with Israel will remain as long as there is a security need for it.”
Israel is also requesting control of the border between Egypt and Gaza. Netanyahu’s plan may face resistance in Washington and Cairo. Egypt has demanded that Israel not deploy its forces along the border. The US has asked Israel not to expand buffer zones in Gaza. However, Tel Aviv has ignored nearly all of Washington’s requests over the past four months with no impact on US aid shipments to Israel.
Netanyahu says he will not allow the rebuilding of the Strip to begin until the Palestinians have been “deradicalized.” Additionally, Tel Aviv plans to have complete control over the future political system in Gaza. Netanyahu says the Strip will be fully demilitarized.

US Officials See Ukraine as an Active and Bountiful Military Research Opportunity
American officials speaking with the Washington Post described the ongoing war in Ukraine as providing Washington with ample information about Russian war-fighting strategies. The report comes as Kiev struggles to field enough forces to prevent Moscow from capturing more territory.
“The war remains an active and bountiful research opportunity for American military planners as they look to the future, officials say,” the Post reported. A senior defense official explained, “We immersed them in this conflict to make sure they were understanding the implications for warfare.” A second official told the outlet that the Ukraine war will be “an enduring resource.”

Kyiv Has Right to Strike "Russian Military Targets Outside Ukraine," Says NATO Chief for the First Time
Ukraine has the right to strike “Russian military targets outside Ukraine” in line with international law, NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg has said for the first time since the start of the full-scale war nearly two years ago.
Stoltenberg acknowledged that the use of western-supplied arms to strike targets in Russia had long been a point of contention among Kyiv’s allies, due to fears of escalating the conflict.
“It’s for each and every ally to decide whether there are some caveats on what they deliver, and different allies have had a bit different policies on that,” Stoltenberg told Radio Free Europe in an interview on Tuesday (Feb 20).
“But in general, we need to remember what this is. This is a war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine, in blatant violation of international law. And according to international law, Ukraine has the right to self-defence,” Stoltenberg added. “And that includes also striking legitimate military targets, Russian military targets, outside Ukraine. That is international law and, of course, Ukraine has the right to do so, to protect itself.”
The debate over using western weapons to strike Russia is likely to intensify as some NATO allies begin to ship F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The US-made aircraft, if armed with long-range missiles, could significantly increase the potential range of Kyiv’s strikes into Russian territory.
