[Babylon Bee] FLATWOODS, KY — According to sources, local man Dave Smithers was struggling to afford food for his July 4th barbecue due to food prices being up over 3272% this season. His luck changed, however, when he realized he still had the 16 cents President Biden helped him save on his barbecue last year.
"Thank you, Biden! You're a lifesaver!" said Smithers as he ran to the family safe and carefully removed the 1 dime, 1 nickel, and 1 penny he had stashed away last year for occasions like this. "July 4th is saved! Hallelujah! Build back better!"
Other families haven't been so lucky. Smithers' neighbors recently spent their 16 cents to buy 0.0091 gallons of gas. Several more families in the neighborhood invested their 16 cents in Bitcoin and their investment is now worth 8 cents.
Smithers plans to use his 16-cent bounty to help his neighbors and invite them to all share one hotdog this July 4th.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies received a call regarding an incident involving fireworks just after 1 a.m. in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida on Saturday, according to FOX 35 Orlando.
When Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to the incident, according to the report, the man as well as his hand were taken to an area hospital.
The person was later taken to a different hospital by an ambulance.
A witness told 7News said the incident happened suddenly.
"It wasn’t even like five minutes, ’cause as soon as he lights it, it exploded," said the person, according to the report.
The man was taken to the hospital by a private vehicle, but the hand was taken to the hospital by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials, according to the report.
According to the witness, his hand was not able to be reattached at the hospital.

President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit, and distrust
That's because he's lived his whole life on those principles; denial, deceit, and distrust. That you are unwilling to face truth, says far more about you.

Romney's got the spine of a jellyfish. Biden accused Romney of wanting to put blacks back in chains during the 2012 presidential election. Someone with balls would spend at least an hour every week for the rest of his life figuring how to fuck over someone like that. But noooo, not my former governor...

[AmericanGreatness] Gettysburg, which took place in the lead up to July 4th, 1863, remains the greatest battle ever to occur on the North American continent. There is much to learn from
remembering it. For those who don't visualize from text very well (like me)

Walking away from the Visitor's Center movie at Gettysburg 10-15 years ago, I overheard some twit telling her husband, "Wow, that's worse than Vietnam!"

Wargaming the Gettysburg battle (multiple games) and reading the battle histories made me amazed how little we (most people) understand about the battle. Read some of the history books or play a wargame and you know ahead of time the battlefield and the troop movements ... not the 'Fog of War' they fought under and the horrible pressure of knowing that what they did mattered (and they had only one shot and no 'do overs')!
[Mercer] That the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) finally delivered a decision returning and restoring power to the states on this one issue, abortion, is as it should be. If her state outlaws abortion; a woman can still board a Greyhound bus to get the procedure elsewhere.
The ethical elegance of the libertarian argument was voiced before in this space:
However much one disdains abortion, one can’t get away from the matter of self-ownership. You simply have no right to take custody of an adult’s body. An adult woman, however loathsome, either owns herself and everything inside her or doesn’t. You can’t "own" yourself with the exception of your uterus or in conjunction with other busybodies.
Thus, theoretically, "Women have the right to screw and scrape out their insides to their heart’s content." With a proviso: Americans who oppose abortion must be similarly respected in their rights of self-ownership. Taxpayers who oppose the procedure ought to have an equal right to dispense of what is theirs—their property—in accordance with the dictates of their conscience.
Trojans, Trivora or termination: An American woman has the right to purchase contraception, abortifacients and abortions, provided ... she pays for them. For like herself, America is packed with many other sovereign individuals, some of whom do not approve of these products and procedures.
So, while adult women ought to be able to terminate their pregnancies—always to the exclusion of late-term infanticide—what America’s manifestly silly sex does not have the right to do is to rope conscientious objectors into supplying them with or paying for their reproductive choices. The rights of self-ownership and freedom of conscience ought to apply on both sides of the abortion debate.
Late-term abortion, generally, must always be outlawed. (I realize, dear reader, that I owe you argument, not assertion, which, alas, is what I’ve provided.) One could argue that, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the deciding case brought before the SCOTUS, did concern late-term abortion, with the state of Mississippi banning abortion after 15 weeks, pursuant to which, "The Jackson clinic and one of its doctors sued Mississippi officials in federal court, saying the state’s law was unconstitutional. A federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the clinic, blocking Mississippi’s law. But the state appealed to the Supreme Court, which put the case on its docket."
The result has been real federalism—on this one vexing matter—although, individual taxpayers who conscientiously object to abortion will still be on the hook for these services should their state authorize them. Federalism does not respect individual choice. And, federalism has hardly been revived. Powers have never been more concentrated in the Federal Frankenstein, which has never been more intractable and tyrannical.
The wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a low IQ, AK 47-bearing moron, siring children whenever the whim takes him, and blaming the world because he is uneducated, poor and left behind. … Somalia another fine land of violent, AK 47-toting, khat-chewing, girl-circumcising, permanently tumescent layabouts, and housing pirates of the ocean. Indeed [in Africa], we now have almost an entire continent of sexually hyperactive, illiterate indigents, with tens of millions of people who only survive because of help from the outside world …

Mercer's assumption that non late term abortions are moral but late term abortions aren't may be a majoritarian position. However, neither Mercer nor anyone else is able to define the bright line the separates moral vs immoral abortion.

It will start with more assinations and mysterious deaths. Judges and LEO will be first. Followed by media. 2028-30 is not that far away.
Since the left is endorsing violence and mob rule I expect war to happen sooner.
Individual shooters, blue and red will pick off protesters until each side arms itself. Then competing protests will shoot it out.
Individual shooters, blue and red will pick off protesters until each side arms itself.
That may happen, but will not be all that common. What will become more common are "random" shootings that obscure personal vendettas, your basic 3rd world approach to settling scores & upholding one's "honor". Crowds of people gathering together for any reason, or no reason, will be targeted.

I see it differently. The left will continue to be violent at the same time their ideals are exposed as horribly toxic. They will get whipped badly at the ballot box for the next three elections. At every level down to dogcatcher. This will result in re-funding the police and thugs and Antifa types arrested and given long sentences.

Any planning of future branches and sequels would see the 22 and 24 election outcome as key trend nodes. If the great Red Reset fails, especially if it fails through fraud, this happens.
The doughnut-ring suburban-rural interface would be the front lines, as would key transit nodes that feed the blue urban cores. As long as it retains the characteristics of low-intensity conflict and absent OCONUS players onshore, siege tactics 101 should be a focus for future thinkers. Just imagine a Mad Max version of the double circumvallation of Alesia for Sacramento.

Large Blue cities import food and fuel. Some of them still make things, but generally stuff comes from somewhere else. Control of supply lines would be key. See Rus v Ukr 2022, for example.

These are signature clues to a remind people of the reach of those who protect the details of this vast, far-reaching story.
Police on Sunday said that two LeT Lions of Islam were apprehended by villagers in Tuksan village in J&K's Reasi district for which DGP announced Rs 2 lakh reward for the villagers.
A cache of arms and ammunition had been recovered from the accused.
"Hats off to the courage of villagers of Tuksan, in #Reasi district . Two #Lions of Islam of LeT apprehended by villagers with weapons; 2AK #rifles, 7 #Grenades and a #Pistol. DGP announces #reward of Rs 2 lakhs for villagers, " a police front man said.
He identified the accused duo as Faizal Ahmed Dar son of Bashir Ahmed Dar of Pulwama and a "categorised terrorist" Talib Hussain son of Haider Shah of Rajauri.
[OneIndia] A political slugfest erupted between the BJP and the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir after a top Lashker-e-Taiba terrorist, overpowered by locals and handed over to the police, was reported to be an active member of the saffron party who was recently selected as its IT and social media cell in charge of the minority morcha in Jammu province.
As the news about villagers overpowering Talib Hussain Shah and handing him and his associate Faisal Ahmad Dar to the police surfaced, purported pictures of Shah with JK BJP chief Ravinder Raina and his participation in party functions emerged on social media.
The pictures included the one where Raina was presenting him a bouquet and a letter issued by party leader Sheikh Bashir, assigning him the responsibility of new IT and social media incharge of Minority Morcha (Jammu province) on May 9 While Raina dismissed the presence of Shah in his party as a "conspiracy hatched by Pakistan to target him and the party headquarters", Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said the ruling party should answer to the nation the alleged presence of terrorists in their ranks and holding important party positions.
This is a second incident within two days where it has been alleged that terror accused had links with the BJP. The two people arrested in Udaipur were alleged by the Congress to have links with the Saffron party. Congress leader Pawan Khera on Saturday had cited Facebook posts showing accused Riyaz Akhtari with local BJP leaders and sought to know whether the Centre had moved quickly to transfer the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) due to this reason.
The charge was denied by the BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya saying the accused were not BJP members and said the opposition party was peddling in fake news. Shah and Dar were in possession of two AK Assault rifles, seven grenades, a pistol and a huge quantity of ammunition when they were confronted by Muslim villagers and disarmed before handing them over to police after tying them with ropes inside a dhok (mud-house) in the higher reaches of Gulab Garh.
While lauding the people for assisting police in capturing the two most-wanted LeT terrorists, JK BJP chief said "they were part of a conspiracy hatched from Pakistan to target him and the party headquarters".
"He introduced himself as a journalist and took my interviews several times at my party office sometime back. He developed close liaison with party activists and leaders after coming to our headquarters (Trikuta Nagar Jammu)," Raina told PTI. Raina claimed that he came to know from the security agencies that Shah was a mole planted by Pakistan-based terrorists to target BJP headquarters and the leadership including him.
"The arrest of the duo is a big success for the security forces as a major conspiracy of Pakistan has been thwarted. I also came to know that he had shared the pictures of the BJP headquarters with his handlers across the border," he said. Raina said terror organisations, frustrated by BJP's expansion in Jammu and Kashmir, have repeatedly threatened him over in the past many years and since they failed to target him, they hatched a conspiracy to plant their activist in the BJP to target him and other leaders of the party.
However, he said BJP is determined to wipe-out Pakistan-sponsored terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir and "we will not be cowed down by threats or conspiracies". The BJP chief claimed he was also told by the security agencies that Shah was keeping a close watch on his movement in the twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch and was passing the information to his handlers in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
"I have full faith in the training, ability and courage of our police and security forces who are determined to root out terrorism. With the arrest of Shah and his associate, the Pakistani conspiracy to target me has failed," he said.
Reacting strongly, the Congress chief spokesperson said "this is for the first time that such a thing had happened (when an office bearer of a party is directly involved in terrorism." "BJP should answer to the nation about the presence of terrorists in their ranks holding important party positions. It is a very serious matter and a threat to the security of the nation," he said. Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Director General of Police Dilbag Singh lauded the villagers for their courage and announced cash rewards for them.
[Shafaq] A security source reported that one member of al-Hashd al-Shaabi was killed, and two others were maimed, in an ISIS attack in Diyala.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The head of Tunisia’s constitution committee blasted a proposed constitution published by President Kais Saied, local media reported on Sunday, reinforcing opposition fears that Saied was seeking to impose a unilateral charter.
Sadok Belaid, a former constitutional law professor was named by Saied to draft a "new constitution for a new republic," said Saied’s version was dangerous and did not resemble the first draft proposed by the constitution committee, the Assabeh newspaper said.
Belaid said the draft constitution published by the president contains chapters that could pave the way for "a disgraceful dictatorial regime."
The president has not commented on the constitution since he published the text on Thursday in Tunisia’s official gazette. The constitution, which would give Saied near-absolute powers, will be put to a referendum this month.
His proposal would dilute the roles of the parliament and judiciary, prompting accusations he is undoing democratic gains that Tunisians won in a 2011 revolution.
Saied seized most powers last year, brushing aside the 2014 democratic constitution and dismissing the elected parliament to say he would rule by decree while he remakes the political system.
A chapter of the proposed constitution includes the phrase, "In case of the imminent danger, the president can extend his term." Belaid said this would "pave the way for a disgraceful dictatorship."
Saied last year used an "imminent danger" clause in the current constitution to dismiss the government and control executive powers, establishing one-man rule.
His proposed constitution would create a Council of Regions as a second chamber of parliament but gives no details on how it would be elected or what powers it would have.
Belaid said the president’s proposal to limit membership of the Constitutional Court to judges named by the president would undermine its independence.

[RT] The US and its allies are still interested in continued conflict in Ukraine, Kremlin front man Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday. Western nations effectively prevent the government in Kiev from even thinking about any potential peace talks, the official added.
When asked about potential reasons that have led German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron to no longer call Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... , Peskov called this another sign suggesting that western leaders are not interested in achieving peace through dialogue and negotiations.
"At the moment, the western nations are actively betting on the continued war," Peskov told the TV show ’Moscow. Kremlin. Putin.’ on Russia’s Rossiya 1 channel. The position of the western nations —led by Washington— leads to a situation where they "allow Ukrainians neither to think nor talk about or discuss peace," the Russian president’s front man added.
The Kremlin believes that "common sense" would eventually prevail and the sides will return to the negotiation table. "Now, the demand for pacifying the situation is low," Peskov commented, adding that "we are sure ... that the time for talks will come."
Kiev will still have to "once again understand" all the demands put forward by Moscow before the talks could continue, the Kremlin front man pointed out. The Ukrainian government is well aware of Russia’s position, he said, adding that Kiev just needs to "sit down at the [negotiation] table" and "sign a document that has already been largely agreed."
Moscow and Kiev started peace talks just four days after the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine in late February. The sides have held several rounds in person in Belarus and then continued the talks via a video link. In late March, the delegations from Russia and Ukraine met once again in Istanbul.
Since then, however, the talks have completely stalled, as the Ukrainian side has insisted it would only come back to the table when it was in a "stronger negotiating position." In April, Putin accused Kiev of bringing the process to a deadlock. Peskov said at that time that Russia had provided Ukraine with a draft agreement and was awaiting a response.
In June, Ukraine’s top negotiator David Arakhamia suggested that Kiev believes it could achieve this "favorable position" by late August after it conducts "counteroffensive operations in certain areas."
Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and La Belle France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces."
In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Putin will stop when he gets defensible borders for the Motherland. I would expound on how geography explains it all, but alas, there is insufficient room in the margins.
[IsraelTimes] Danish PM Mette Frederiksen decries ’cruel attack’ in worst gun violence in Scandinavian country since 2015
A gunman opened fire inside a busy shopping mall in the Danish capital Sunday, killing three people and critically wounding three others, police said.
A 22-year-old Danish man was arrested after the shooting, Copenhagen police inspector Søren Thomassen told news hounds, adding there was no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack, though police were still investigating.
Gun violence is relatively rare in Denmark.
Thomassen said it was too early to speculate on the motive for the shooting, which happened in the late afternoon at Field’s, one of the biggest shopping malls in Scandinavia and located on the outskirts of the Danish capital. When the shots rang out, some people hid in shops while others fled in a panicked stampede, according to witnesses.
"It is pure terror. This is awful," said Hans Christian Stoltz, a 53-year-old IT consultant, who was bringing his daughters to see Harry Styles perform at a concert scheduled for Sunday night near the mall. "You might wonder how a person can do this to another human being, but it’s beyond ... beyond anything that’s possible."
Thomassen said the victims included a man in his 40s and two "young people," without giving details.
Several others were maimed, three of them critically, he said.
He said police received the first reports of a shooting at 5.37 p.m., and arrested the suspect 11 minutes later. Thomassen described the suspect as an "ethnic Dane," a phrase typically used to mean someone is white.
...but which says nothing about his religious or mental health status. No doubt soon more will be revealed, at which point we’ll know whehter this is properly War on Terror or Non-WoT.
Danish broadcaster TV2 published a grainy photo of the alleged gunman, a man wearing knee-length shorts, a vest or sleeveless shirt, and holding what appeared to be a rifle in his right hand. "He seemed very violent mostly peaceful and angry," eyewitness Mahdi al-Wazni told TV2. "He spoke to me and said it [the rifle] isn’t real as I was filming him. He seemed very proud of what he was doing."
The shopping center is on the outskirts of Copenhagen just across from a subway station for a line that connects the city center with the international airport. A major highway also runs adjacent to the mall.
Organizers called off the Harry Styles concert, which had been scheduled at the nearby Royal Arena, by order of police.
Moved to Page 3: Non-War on Terror at 12:30 p.m. ET based on subsequent reporting that the man was known to psychiatric services and complaining that his meds did not work.

Wait until all those unsecured USA weapons in Ukraine make their way to the EU.

Across Europe, in Russia, Australia, New Zealand... The weapons trafficking routes are very long established. Lots and lots of AKs flowed through over the years.
Who knows? The last really big fight was National Socialists vs International Socialists. The next one might be nationalists vs Moslem colonists.

A new BBC article reports the shooter has been charged with murder, remanded to psychiatric evaluation, and is known to the psychiatric services — nuts, not jihadi.
A suspect carrying a rifle and knife was quickly arrested, and Copenhagen chief police inspector Søren Thomassen says the 22-year-old Danish man also had access to another gun.
He says the firearms were obtained illegally and the suspect was known to mental health services but gave no further details on either.
[RT] Slovakia can donate its Soviet-designed MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, after the Czech Republic agreed to patrol Slovakian airspace from September onwards, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Sunday. The MiG deal has reportedly been in the works for several months.
"We will help Slovakia until it has new planes at its disposal," Fiala said during a televised debate with Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger. "I don't see any problem there, the government will certainly approve it."
The Slovak Air Force is believed to operate 12 MiG-29s, which were left in its inventory after the collapse of the USSR. Rumors that Slovakia would donate these planes to Kiev began circulating days after Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine in February, when EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell announced that the bloc would source Soviet-made jets from Eastern European countries for Ukraine’s battered air force.

[KhaamaPress] A Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... commander allegedly flew his newlywed bride from Pashtun-infested Logar to Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... , in eastern Afghanistan, using a military helicopter, according to local sources in Pashtun-infested Logar.
The Taliban figure was referred to as a commander of Haqqani branch of the Taliban on social media, and the source claimed that he resides in Khost and that his wife’s residence is in the Barki Barak district of Pashtun-infested Logar in east of Afghanistan.
The sources claim that this situation occurred yesterday, Saturday, July 2, in the Shah Mazar region of the Barki Barak district of Pashtun-infested Logar province.
The wife of the Taliban commander is seen being transported in a military helicopter that is landed near a house in a video that went viral on social media.
Furthermore, it is claimed that this commander gave his father-in-law 1,200,000 Afghanis as dowry in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... in response, the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson, Qari Yusuf Ahmadi, argues that the allegations are untrue calling it a "propaganda of the enemy", and that the Islamic Emirate dismisses it.
The video that was circulated on social media incited outrage among the public, who criticized the action as a misuse of public property and pointed out that it was in conflict with the Taliban supreme leader’s words made in the grand assembly.
This occurs after the Taliban have been in control for almost a year, but the group has notably failed to establish a government and gain domestic legitimacy and international recognition.

...it is claimed that this commander gave his father-in-law 1,200,000 Afghanis as dowry in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Does that mean the 'bride' in question is an eight year old girl?
Interesting that there's no outrage over the involuntary forced marriage.

With today's exchange rate, the haul was $13,200. Dad can afford a used Takoma without the crew served weaponry option.
Not sure why the Afghan peeps are ticked, we paid for the helicopter.

[Korrespondent] 22:53 Obtaining the status of a candidate member of the EU allows you to start integration into European institutions, and also opens up access to funding, Shmygal said in an interview with LB.ua. In particular, according to him, Ukraine at the level of official bodies and individuals gets access to the institutions of the European Commission and is already starting to work with them. Kyiv also gets access to funding for EU candidates: more than 14 billion euros of support for candidate countries, or 2 billion euros for each state, has been pledged for the next seven years.
But one of the key advantages of the status Shmyhal called the tools of pre-entry assistance - technical support for the development of rural areas and other industries.
22:50 The Ministry of Defense of Great Britain reported that the accounts of the British army on Twitter and YouTube were hacked, and an investigation is currently underway.
22:47 Podolyak, in response to Peskov's statement that Ukraine will have to "understand once again all our conditions," voiced Ukrainian demands to the Russian Federation: an immediate ceasefire; withdrawal of z-troops from Ukraine; return of abducted citizens; extradition of war criminals; reparations mechanism; recognition of the sovereign rights of Ukraine.
22:44 Zelensky in an evening video message commented on the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Lysichansk: "We protect the lives of our soldiers. We will rebuild the walls, we will retake the land, and people should be protected most of all. And if the command of our army takes people from certain points of the front, where the enemy has the greatest fire advantage, in particular for Lysichansk, this means only one thing: we will return thanks to our tactics and the increase in the supply of modern weapons. Ukraine does not give up anything."
22:06 The war in Ukraine may drag on, former NATO Secretary General Anders von Rasmussen said during a visit to Kiev: "The biggest risk now is a protracted conflict. The Russians are masters of protracted conflicts. Just look at Georgia - in South Ossetia it has been going on for 2008, in Crimea since 2014, in the Donbass too. They have been in Moldova, Transnistria for decades. So they are specialists in this. And I am worried that the protracted conflict serves Putin’s goals, because he believes that so far there will be a smoldering or frozen conflict in the east of Ukraine, it will prevent Ukraine from making real progress, progress in rapprochement with the European Union, with NATO, and progress in the economy."
22:03 Since the beginning of the war, 89 athletes and coaches have died in Ukraine, another 13 were captured, Zelensky said at a meeting with the head of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach: "Many Ukrainian athletes joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 89 athletes and coaches died as a result 13 were captured and are in Russian captivity."
21:59 The key goal of the Russian army in Ukraine is complete control over the Black Sea coast, said Vadim Denisenko, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "As of now, their minimum plan is just the annexation of the Kherson region, the maximum plan - if possible, then develop an offensive against Nikolaev and further to Odessa, because the key goal of this war is not really Donbass, but Odessa and full control over the Black Sea."
"The situation is such that we have partially cut off the supply system between parts of the Russian army groups in southern Ukraine. So far they cannot do much in this direction. They are digging in and preparing to annex this territory," Denisenko said.
21:54 Andrey Goncharuk, a diver of the Zaporizhzhya NPP hydroshop, died in Energodar. According to the mayor of the city, Dmitry Orlov, a few days ago he was extremely severely beaten by the occupiers after refusing to dive into the spray pool of the ZNPP. With numerous bodily injuries in a coma, he was taken to the Energodar hospital, where he died without regaining consciousness.
Earlier it was reported that the occupiers force the workers of the Zaporozhye NPP to drain the cooling pools. The Russians are preparing a provocation at the ZNPP - they want to accuse Ukrainian nuclear scientists of storing weapons on the territory of the plant.
21:47 More than 2,000 experts were involved in the development of the "Marshall Plan" for Ukraine, Cabinet Minister Oleg Nemchinov said on the air of the telethon: "Deputies, experts, scientists were maximally involved in the preparation of the plan. In addition to this plan, they will be presented [in Lugano] specific investment projects that may be of interest not only in terms of recovery, but also in terms of restarting the economy of our country. These are green technologies, new construction technologies, in fact, this is a restart of the economy and public life."
The plan contains 24 blocks and will be presented at the Ukraine Reconstruction Conference in Lugano (Switzerland) on July 4-5. Nemchinov noted that before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this conference was planned to be devoted to reforms. He clarified that the implementation of the Plan is expected after the completion of the active phase of hostilities.
21:23 Zelensky called Lukashenka's words about a united army with the Russian Federation and that Belarus' participation in the "special operation" has already been determined as a "dangerous signal" for Ukraine and the people of Belarus: "I think that we will see the result of this signal."
21:05 Unknown persons blew up the railway bridge between the occupied Melitopol and Tokmak, SSO reported. According to intelligence, the explosion occurred in the occupied village of Lyubimovka. It was along this branch that the occupiers drove trains with weapons and military equipment to the front.
20:59 Zelensky held a meeting in Kiev with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and thanked him for the decision to allocate a new support package for Ukrainian Olympians: "We appreciate the initiative to hold a special donor conference under the auspices of the IOC to restore sports infrastructure in Ukraine."
The President stressed that the war was a huge blow to Ukrainian sports - more than 100,000 Ukrainian athletes cannot train, hundreds of sports facilities have been destroyed.
20:51 Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz at a briefing with Zelensky announced a new package of military-technical assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $100 million. Thus, Australia will provide 14 armored personnel carriers, 20 Bushmaster armored personnel carriers (to the previously transferred 40), drones, other military equipment and equipment at the request of Kyiv.
Albaniz added that Australia had already donated $390 million, making it the largest non-NATO donor in terms of aid. The prime minister also said that his country intends to impose sanctions against another 16 Russian ministers and ban the import of Russian gold.
20:36 Zelensky said after a meeting with the Prime Minister of Australia in Kiev that the presence at the G-20 summit in Indonesia in November this year depends on the situation in the country and Putin's participation in it: "Our participation depends on the Russian Federation, whether it will be present there. I told the President of Indonesia that we are grateful for the invitation, but we have a security situation... I'm not 100% sure that the war will end with a complete de-occupation, and therefore I can't imagine my coming there."
20:12 The mayor of Kramatorsk Alexander Goncharenko reported on the strikes on the city: "it looks like the MLRS again, we are investigating the consequences."
19:45 In the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy crossed the Seversky Donets River, is trying to take Belogorivka, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported in the evening report . In the Bakhmut direction, the occupiers are shelling the areas of Soledar, Pokrovsky, Bakhmut and Klinovo from artillery. In the Slavic direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled the assault of the invaders in the direction of Pasek-Dolina.
19:37 The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially confirmed the retreat from Lysichansk: "In the context of the multiple superiority of the Russian occupying forces in artillery, aviation, multiple launch rocket systems, ammunition and personnel, the continuation of the defense of the city would lead to fatal consequences. To save the lives of Ukrainian defenders, a decision was made about leaving."
19:33 Ukraine spends 130 billion hryvnias on maintenance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine every month, Shmygal said in an interview with LB.ua: "If we used to maintain the army about 156 billion hryvnias, this was the budget of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian army for a year, today it is about 130 "Billion is a monthly amount. Of course, we have greatly increased social payments, demining costs, emergency recovery costs, costs for internally displaced persons." The entire budget of Ukraine for a month is approximately 250 billion hryvnia, of which up to 100 billion comes from taxes and customs, the prime minister said.
19:21 Podolyak named four explanations for the “claps” in Russian front-line cities:
attacking their own cities with their own missiles as a provocation to accuse Ukraine of shelling Russian cities and disrupting the supply of Western weapons;
"intelligent" operators of Russian air defense systems have arms growing "from places where normal people have other parts of their bodies, so everything starts to burn";
obligatory karma - evil always has consequences;
divine work.
“If it seems to you that some actions of the Russian army are contrary to common sense, then remember: this whole war is contrary to common sense. Because modern Russia is not about common sense at all. The only thing I don’t understand is why not Voronezh, after all if according to plan, then according to plan ... "- wrote the adviser to the head of the OP.
19:09 There is a risk of the Russians seizing the Luhansk region, but so far it is impossible to talk about their complete control over Lisichansk, fighting continues in the vicinity, Zelensky said at a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz: "There are such risks that the entire Luhansk region will be occupied "There are such risks, we understand them. But you must also understand that the situation can change every day."
18:53 Reznikov confirmed the delivery of NASAMS air defense to Ukraine: "I thank Joe Biden and my colleague Lloyd Austin for another significant step in support of Ukraine, namely, the decision to supply NASAMS to Ukraine. This increases our ability to protect the earth and sky. Ukraine's victory in the war against a terrorist state will ensure global security for years to come."
18:41 The Russians fired at the villages of Dergachevskaya and Olkhovskaya territorial communities of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said. According to preliminary data, three people were killed and one was injured.
18:29 Turkish customs detained a Russian cargo ship with stolen Ukrainian grain exported from Berdyansk, Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasily Bodnar said on the telethon: "We have full cooperation, the ship is now standing in front of the port. It has been detained by Turkish customs authorities. Tomorrow there will be an interdepartmental meeting at which the future fate of this vessel will be decided."
The ambassador added that the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office was forwarded and Ukraine expects that the vessel will be arrested, the property will be confiscated and all those involved will be held accountable: “There is a special situation with this vessel, since it tried to use the temporarily occupied port of Berdyansk for the first time and then enter the Turkish port. This is illegal and , to be honest, this is a big impudence and an attempt to actually break through such a corridor in order to take advantage of the opportunity and take out the property."
In turn, a member of the "administration" of the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov, said that the detention of a Russian ship in Turkey is "part of the plan to accuse the Russian Federation of world hunger, this is a classic example of piracy."
17:44 During the occupation of Snake Island, the Russians lost four Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun systems, two Tor anti-aircraft missile systems, a Grad multiple launch rocket system and radar installations, said Natalya Gumenyuk, head of the press center of the Pivden Operational Command. According to her, the operation on Serpentine continues and will be completed only after the Ukrainian military is convinced that there are no Russians on the island.
17:18 The death of a family from the Kharkiv region in Belgorod was confirmed by the head of the Dergachev community, Vyacheslav Zadorenko: "Tonight ... the Koptelov family from Tsupovka died in the city of Belgorod. This information came to us from internally displaced persons. Residents of Tsupovka and other occupied settlements were forced to escape from the war through Russia to the countries of Europe by any available means. Unfortunately, as we see, Russia is destroying our people on its own territory."
16:46 From September in Poland, children from the age of 13 will be taught how to use weapons, Education Minister Przemysław Czarnek told The Washington Post: “Ten years ago, if the current minister had offered elementary school students to conduct such classes, he would have been ridiculed. However, then what we saw [in Ukraine], and the way this war was waged with such atrocities, showed us that the danger is real.<...> This is not about the militarization of children, but about skills that would be useful for safety and security in the event of an escalation of the conflict.
16:42 Fences appeared on the beaches of Odessa, preventing the approach to the water. The State Emergency Service decided not to open the beaches for swimming, even partially, as previously planned by the city authorities, Marina Martynenko, the speaker of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service in the Odessa region, said: "Not a single beach in the Odessa region will open. Currently, the coast is a line of defense, not a zone recreation". Also this year, it is forbidden to swim in rivers and lakes, including because before the start of the season they did not pass the corresponding annual check.
16:11 Scholz said that Germany, together with its allies, is working on security guarantees for Ukraine: "This process is ongoing. It is clear that this will not be the same as if it were a NATO member." According to the chancellor, "careful preparations" are being made in the diplomatic sphere for this matter "for the day we hope will soon come when the war is over."
16:07 In Kramatorsk, which the Russians fired at from the Smerch MLRS today, one of the missiles destroyed the hotel and residential complex, the other two damaged part of the road in a residential area. There are no casualties, said Pavel Kirilenko, head of the Donetsk OVA.
16:05 The Israeli High Court of Justice overturned the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to restrict the entry of Ukrainian citizens to Israel. Ukrainians will be able to enter Israel for three months without having to submit a special request for this, Zelensky said.
16:03 The Cabinet of Ministers will not change tariffs for housing and communal services until the end of the next heating season, Shmygal promised: "An important message: there will be no tariff changes until the end of the next heating season. We have declared this, we will comply with this. This is important. People should be I'm sure they'll make it through this winter."
But, according to the prime minister, the government does not expect an easy passage of this heating season: "Someone is now in a hurry to reorient to alternative sources, someone is preparing and insulating their homes - this is the right movement, the right approaches. At the same time, I want to assure that the state fulfilled and will fulfill its obligations.
16:01 As a result of today's shelling of Sloviansk, six people were killed and 15 were injured , the speaker of the Donetsk OVA Tatyana Ignatchenko said on the air of the telethon.
15:59 Czech fighters will guard the airspace of neighboring Slovakia from September, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said. Slovakia has asked its NATO allies to patrol its skies as it decided to land its Russian-made MiG-29 fighter jets that could be sent to Ukraine. "I do not see any problems in this, the government will definitely approve it," Fiala said.
Slovakia ordered F-16 fighter jets from the US in 2018. The first planes were expected to arrive this year and the shipment should be completed next year, but delivery is now expected to take place in 2024.
15:18 Peskov said that Ukraine will have to accept Russia's conditions and sit down at the negotiating table: "Now is the moment when Western countries are betting with might and main on the continuation of the war. This means that the moment continues when Western countries, under the leadership of Washington, speak Russian , do not allow Ukrainians to think, talk about peace, or discuss peace ... Kiev will have to understand the conditions of the Russian Federation, agree to them and sit down at the negotiating table, fix the document."
15:11 The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow "refrains from retaliatory steps against Kiev's actions," but is closely monitoring the situation, "if provocations continue, they will not be in trouble."
15:09 Ukraine today has agreements on support from partners in the amount of $29 billion, Shmyhal said: "This is, in particular, assistance from the European Union, the United States and Canada. Separately, there is direct budgetary support from EU member states. There is a grant and credit assistance from international financial institutions: the IMF, the World Bank, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. All this money is enough for us to fulfill the social and humanitarian obligations of our country. We see a predictable situation by the end of the year and understand how we will fulfill the budget" .
14:57 The mayor of Slavyansk Vadim Lyakh reported on the largest shelling of the city in recent times. The Russians are firing from multiple launch rocket systems, many are killed and wounded.

He said this during his speech on the occasion of the Independence Day of Belarus, BelTA reports: "We are the only country that supports the Russians in this struggle. <...> And that they did not know that we have long established in the union of Belarus and Russia has a single grouping of armed forces? In fact, a single army. You knew all this, so why are you reproaching us today? We were and will be together with fraternal Russia. I determined our participation in the special operation a long time ago."

After that, the corresponding weapon registries will run for a while.
13:17 In Russia, the conflict between the military leadership and directors of defense plants is gaining momentum, which instructed workers not to accept military equipment for repairs. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, delivering damaged equipment to repair plants, the Russians completely dismantle it, and sell spare parts and assemblies or exchange them for alcohol. Sometimes only burnt skeletons of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks reach the factories. Directors of repair enterprises motivate the refusal to repair equipment by the lack of components and insufficient payment for work already completed.
The command tried to save the situation with the help of specially created repair teams, which were supposed to restore equipment near the combat zones. However, corruption and greed among the military leadership of the Russian Federation brought this attempt to naught, according to Ukrainian military intelligence.
12:51 Governor of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Gladkov said that the death toll after the shelling of Belgorod increased to four people: one citizen of the Russian Federation, three citizens of Ukraine. And the “shell” stuck in the air conditioner of an apartment building in Belgorod on Narodny Boulevard turned out to be a fragment of an air defense missile, the press service of the regional government said. Earlier it was reported that part of the Pantsir air defense system, which is not in service with Ukraine, got stuck in the wall of the house.
12:43 Shoigu reported to Putin about the "liberation" of the so-called. "LNR". According to him, full control has been established over Lisichansk and a number of nearby settlements, the largest of which are Belogorovka, Novodruzhesk, Maloryazantsevo and Belaya Gora. The total area of the territories "liberated" over the past 24 hours allegedly amounted to 182 square meters. km.
12:29 The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the RF Armed Forces allegedly captured Verkhnekamenka, Zolotarevka, Belogorovka, as a result, they closed the encirclement around Lisichansk. The Ukrainian grouping of troops is completely blocked in the "boiler", Moscow said.
12:08 The Donetsk region may be left without gas supply due to active hostilities, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko during the telethon: "Preparations are being made so that the region goes through the heating season with a minimum number of people. area is unlikely to be, because there are active hostilities."
According to Kirilenko's forecasts, about 300,000 citizens will remain in the region for the heating season: "This is a very large figure for the entire region for the heating season... Apartment buildings are of particular concern."
11:52 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that at night "Kiev delivered a deliberate strike with Tochka-U missiles with cluster munitions and Tu-143 drones on residential areas of Belgorod and Kursk."

10:54 In Slavyansk, the movement of electric vehicles is stopped, Mayor Vadim Lyakh said: "We were forced to do this due to the constant threat of shelling and the inadmissibility of crowds."
10:52 British intelligence suggests that Russia may hold a "referendum" on the accession of the Kherson region to the Russian Federation in the fall of 2022. For the Kremlin, this issue is a priority, since it will allow it to "legitimize" its presence in this territory. At the same time, with a high probability, the voting results will be falsified, analysts point out.

[IsraelTimes] Israeli troops foiled an attempt to smuggle some $2.5 million worth of drugs into the country from Egypt early Sunday, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted four suspects approaching the border from Egypt overnight, and dispatched troops to the scene.
Some 70 kilograms (155 pounds) of cocaine and hashish, estimated to be worth NIS 9 million ($2.5 million), was seized.
No arrests were made, according to the army.
Israel says Egyptian smugglers operate by tossing contraband over the border to Israelis, who then sell the drugs in Israel. The smugglers mostly traffic in marijuana and hashish from grow houses in the Sinai Peninsula, but sometimes harder drugs like cocaine and heroin are smuggled in as well.
[RT] A curfew has been imposed in a region of Uzbekistan as the country’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev responded to unrest, acknowledging that people have been killed in festivities with police this week.
"Government buildings were attacked. Unfortunately, there were casualties among civilians and law enforcement officials," Mirziyoyev told local MPs in the city of Nukus on Sunday, the site of Friday’s riots.
The president did not specify how many people had bit the dust. The authorities had previously said a "criminal group" instigated street protests and attempted to seize power in Uzbekistan’s northwestern region of Karakalpakstan.
A one-month state of emergency came into effect in the region on Sunday, with a curfew fixed from 9pm to 7am. Other measures include a ban on protests and "restrictions on the freedom of movement," according to a document published on the president’s website.
The demonstrations ostensibly began after the government unveiled a plan to revoke Karakalpakstan’s autonomy as part of a package of constitutional amendments. Mirziyoyev, however, argued that the backlash was fueled by "misunderstood interpretations" of the proposed reform.
Mirziyoyev has promised that the status of Karakalpakstan will remain unchanged, and that the final draft of the amendments will be put to a referendum.
At the same time, the president warned of "harsh measures" against "those who try to disturb the peace, calm and public safety."

[Rudaw] A suspected Ottoman Turkish drone on Sunday targeted a base of the Syrian army in Tal Rifaat, northwestern Syria, injuring two regime soldiers, local media reported.
"A suicide drone belonging to the Ottoman Turkish army targeted a point of Damascus government forces in the Tal Rifaat district ... wounding two of its soldiers," Hawar News Agency (ANHA) reported.
ANHA added that the bombing also resulted in material damages.
Local monitor Rojava Information Center (RIC), affiliated with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said that the alleged Ottoman Turkish attack "targeted a security center of the SAA [Syrian army] and maimed two soldiers."
Tal Rifaat is a small pocket of territory in northwest Syria that along with Syria's northern city of Manbij, is eyed as the next target of Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... in a looming operation aimed at pushing back Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) from the area and completing a 30-kilometer "safe zone."
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... considers the YPG to be the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an gang fighting for increased Kurdish rights in Turkey and designated a terrorist organization by Ankara.
The operation has been condemned by the US, Iran, and Syria itself.
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Saturday warned that potential Ottoman Turkish intervention in Syria would destabilize the region, and expressed Tehran's opposition to "any kind of military operation in northern Syria."
Syria has also spoken against the Ottoman Turkish military plans, calling them a violation of Syrian illusory sovereignty.
RIC also claimed that Sunday's targeting of Tal Rifaat "is the 49th drone attack on NES [North and East Syria] since January 2022."

While Airlines have "used" staffing & aircraft maintenance issues as the cause of canceled flights. This may raise the idea it could be more ROI/P&L/Fuel issues related for flight cancelations.

[REGNUM] The Kyiv regime strikes at residential areas in order to provoke Russia to launch the same retaliatory strikes. This was stated on July 3 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova , on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
"The goal of the Kyiv regime is to strike with unguided weapons at residential areas of cities. This is not the first time this has happened," she said.
At the same time, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow understands that such actions of Kyiv were not only agreed with its curators from the West, but, most likely, prompted by them.
"This is being done in order to push us to deliver retaliatory strikes of this kind, and then spin the anti-Russian hysteria even more," Zakharova explained.
As REGNUM reported earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Western countries are betting on the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine.

My favorite is all the Putin Puppets who will claim this "risks enlarging the war". Still just two combatants.
And what are the odds this is just Russia bombing themselves to create "they do it, too" propaganda? I mean, Putin did bomb Moscow apartment buildings to justify Chechnya.

Read yesterday that the rocket pieces found in the residential area appeared to be from a Pantsir system. If so, Ukraine doesn't have any of those.
[RT] The last remnants of Ukrainian forces have been driven out of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced on Sunday. He reported the news to President Vladimir Putin " ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... , the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Shoigu said Russian troops and Donbass forces had completely seized Lisichansk, the last major city which had remained under Ukrainian control since 2014, when the LPR declared its independence shortly after a coup in Kiev.
Russia and Ukraine reported heavy fighting around Lisichansk earlier this week, with the most fierce combat occurring at the city’s oil refinery.
News of the capture of Lisichansk comes after Ukrainian troops retreated from Severodonetsk, a nearby city on the opposite side of the Seversky Donets River, last week. The fighting for Severodonetsk had lasted for several months.

...oh, its the old "Peoples Democratic Republic of.."
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] After the capture of Belogorovka and Verkhnekamensky, battles began for Seversk. In the event of the loss of the city, the Seversk-Soledar line will begin to crumble quickly enough and our troops will not only be able to move further to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk (on which artillery attacks are increasing), but also roll from the north to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Soledar, and then at Artemovsk.
Of course, they will also try to organize an offensive from the Klinovoye area, but there is no rapid progress expected there, at least until the occupation of Pokrovsky. It is the battles for Seversk, Soledar and Artemovsk that will be the focus of attention in the coming weeks. The enemy will try with all his might to slow down the pace of the offensive of our troops in order to transfer the battles east of Slavyansk into a positional phase.
[ColonelCassad] Although the cleansing of Lysychansk and the fighting near Belogorovka are still ongoing, but officially July 3 will be considered the Day of the Liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic from Ukrainian occupation. Congratulations to all residents of the LPR. We are waiting for the liberation of the DPR and everyone together in their native harbor. And not only Donbass.

Now why couldn't the Russians have said that they were going in to protect Russian medical students like Reagan said when going into Grenada. That would have made it right, right? O.k., o.k., maybe no medical students, but still.
[IsraelTimes] Military says suspects being questioned over breach at southern section of Strip’s border
Two Paleostinian men, one armed with a grenade, were detained by Israel Defense Force soldiers after infiltrating into southern Israel overnight from the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, the military said Sunday morning.
The IDF said the pair were also armed with two knives.
The military did not clarify whether the suspects had successfully passed through the fence, in the southern part of the coastal enclave, when they were captured.
The suspects were being questioned, the IDF said.
While Israel has a series of high-tech fences and walls guarding its frontier with Gaza, both above- and belowground, a number of gaps remain in the steel fencing surrounding the territory.
In times of low visibility, these gaps have been used by Paleostinians to illegally enter Israeli territory, often with hopes of fleeing the impoverished enclave.
If they had a grenade and knives, this was no innocent escape in hopes of finding work.
While attacks on Israeli civilians by those infiltrating from Gaza are rare, a Paleostinian man crossed into Israel last May armed with several knives and attacked a security guard some five kilometers from the border fence, lightly hurting him. The suspect, who was shot and maimed by another guard, has been indicted.
Though Paleostinians regularly attempt to cross into Israel from Gaza, it is highly uncommon for them to make it far into Israeli territory without being seen and detained by Israeli troops.

Earlier today, a gentleman stood in front of our village post office and read the Declaration of Independence aloud. The gathered crowd was small but attentive - a few older folks, but mostly young families with kids. It must have been something to hear those words spoken for the first time 246 years ago.
Happy Birthday to America and thank you all for your participation.
[IsraelTimes] Military says suspect hurled Molotov cocktail at troops near Jenin, where Israeli forces have concentrated operations since deadly terror wave
A teenage Paleostinian shot Saturday by Israeli soldiers during festivities in the northern West Bank has died of his wounds, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said Sunday.
Kamel Abdullah Alawneh, 17, was shot in the stomach and hand during fighting with Israeli soldiers outside a town near Jenin, PA health officials said.
According to both military and Paleostinian media accounts, Alawneh was shot while clashing with Israeli troops who set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the village of Jaba’.
The Israel Defense Forces said a Paleostinian hurled a Molotov cocktail at the soldiers, who fired at the suspect in response.
"A hit was identified," an IDF statement said. "The circumstances of the incident are being clarified."
No troops were maimed.
Video from Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin shortly after Alawneh’s death was announced Sunday showed scores of Paleostinian men chanting "millions of deaders are marching to Jerusalem," as they brought a flag-draped body through the hospital’s hallways.

[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military body that regulates Paleostinians’ movement into Israeli territory announces that some restrictions on Paleostinian travel will be loosened during the upcoming Eid al-Adha ...a major Moslem holiday, marked by animal sacrifice and ritual rioting... holiday.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, widely known by its acronym COGAT, says its office has approved the measures. Eid al-Adha, held this year on July 9-13, is one of the holiest days in the Moslem calendar and is traditionally accompanied by large family gatherings.
"We emphasize that the issuance of all the permits, both for residents of the Judea and Samaria area and residents of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

Strip, will be subject to security evaluations," COGAT says, using the biblical name for the West Bank that is commonly used in Israel.
West Bank Paleostinians will be allowed special permission to visit family members in Israel. Some 500 Paleostinians will be allowed to fly out of Ben Gurion Airport, while another 200 will be allowed to visit the southern city of Eilat.
Tighter restrictions will remain on the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, terror group. The coastal enclave has been blockaded by both Israel and Egypt since Hamas took over in a coup some 15 years ago.
Nonetheless, 400 Paleostinians from Gaza will receive the prized permits to visit Jerusalem during the sacred festival. Only men over the age of 55 and women over the age of 50 are eligible, COGAT says.
Israel will permit another 500 Paleostinians from Gaza to visit family inside Israel and the West Bank, according to COGAT.

The United States and NATO states that supply Ukraine with missile systems are accomplices in Ukrainian terror, terrorist states - Oleksiy Selivanov.
17:31 The Russian military, released from Ukrainian captivity, spoke about the bullying by the nationalists:
"Scary. Some are beaten there, others are tortured with electric current. Plus, of course, moral pressure: it’s hard, because there is no connection with relatives, ”shared one of the servicemen.
Previously, the exchange of prisoners with Ukraine took place according to the formula 144 to 144. It became the largest in terms of numbers since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine. All released Russian servicemen are now in hospitals. They receive the necessary qualified assistance.

16:28 Commented the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry M.V. Zakharova in connection with the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the residential areas of Belgorod and Kursk:
"The goal of the Kyiv regime is to strike with unguided weapons on residential areas of cities. This is not the first time this has happened. We understand that these actions of the regime in Kyiv were not just coordinated with its Western curators, but most likely prompted by them. This is being done in order to push us to launch retaliatory strikes of this kind, and then further spin the anti-Russian hysteria.
We have so far refrained from taking such steps, but we will be following developments very closely. Those who act in this way should be aware that if provocations continue, they will not be in trouble."
15:34 A series of explosions are reported in Kharkiv. An air alert has been declared in the region.
15:31 As a result of the actions of the Ukrainian security forces, three people were killed, two were missing, including one child, four civilians were injured, including one child, 39 private and 11 apartment buildings were damaged, one household was completely destroyed. The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case on the fact of the shelling of the city of Belgorod by the security forces of Ukraine.
15:14 Russia, without straining at all, with an incomplete grouping in peacetime, breaks the stuffed Ukrainian army on its knee - Andrey Kartapolov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, Colonel General on the air of the Solovyov Live TV channel.
15:12 Kyiv and its Western curators will not do well if provocations continue on Russian territory - Russian Foreign Ministry.
12:22 Three Tochka-U missiles with cluster parts launched at Belgorod were destroyed in the air by air defense systems. As a result of the defeat of Ukrainian missiles by air defense systems over the city, the wreckage of one of them fell on a residential building in Belgorod - Russian Defense Ministry.
12:20 Governor of the Kursk region Roman Starovoit reports another shelling of the village of Tyotkino and publishes a photo of the consequences.
11:51 Kyiv's missile attack was purposefully planned and carried out against the civilian population of Russian cities - the Russian Ministry of Defense.
11:35 RIA Novosti reports that during the night shelling of Belgorod, a family from Kharkov, who moved after the outbreak of hostilities, died. According to the local, the hit happened next to the wing, where the family from Kharkov spent the night - the son, mother-in-law and sister came to survive the hostilities.
10:35 The strike on Melitopol is an attempt to intimidate the civilian population. The Ukrainian government has despaired of calling on the inhabitants of the liberated territories for a "guerrilla war" against the Russian liberation troops.
Instead of committing senseless and bloody terrorist attacks, tens of thousands of citizens sign up for Russian citizenship. Therefore, the Kyiv regime launches rocket attacks on civilians, whom it no longer considers its own. This was announced by Alexei Selivanov, writes the TG channel "Southern bridgehead".
09:38 Cameras filmed, presumably, the moment a shell hit a residential building in Belgorod.
09:10 In Belgorod, the bodies of two more people were found who died as a result of the shelling of the city by the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is reported that the dead were found during the analysis of the rubble of one of the private houses on Mayakovsky Street. The number of victims from shelling has increased to 5 people.
08:07 In the morning hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched massive attacks on the liberated Melitopol in the Zaporozhye region.

Is it even the same bullet? Sorry, but the Pals took too long to turn over the bullet, it's now highly suspect!
[IsraelTimes] The Palestinian Authority slams the United States for not definitively blaming Israel for the death of Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh.
An American probe found that the bullet that killed Abu Akleh was too damaged to definitively rule who had fired it through ballistic analysis.
“We were surprised by these statements. The technical data in our possession indicates that the condition of the shell is viable for matching with the firearm [that shot it],” PA Public Prosecutor Akram al-Khatib says in a statement.
The probe also found no evidence that the shooting was intentional, as Palestinian Authority investigators led by al-Khatib had claimed.
Al-Khatib calls that conclusion “unacceptable” in light of evidence collected by the PA.
Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh also appears to criticize the US, saying that “we will not permit attempts to conceal the truth or timid comments in indicting Israel.”
Al-Sheikh vows that the PA will continue pursuing Abu Akleh’s case “before the international courts.”
They protested Omar al-Bashir‘s military dictatorship, they protested the joint military-civilian thing that replaced him, they protested the military coup, the civilian government, the prime minister’s resignation— clearly protesting is the end, not the means.
Hundreds of #Sudanese protesters demanding an end to military rule take to the streets of the capital Khartoum and its suburbs for a fourth straight day, witnesses say.https://t.co/fCFh2Q3RVJ
