Breaking: Israeli media report sirens have gone off near Dimona, where an israeli nuclear facility lies. Jerusalem residents reported hearing a loud explosion- likely from patriot missile systems responding to a rocket attack but this is unconfirmed. Story is still developing
Video making the rounds of the explosion that was heard through Jerusalem

SANA is reporting breaking news that Syrian air defense systems are confronting israeli warplanes in Dameer, in the Damascus countryside.
Here's what the israelis are saying

Israeli attacks on Dameer
Syrian military source tells Sana the israeli attack started at 1:38 am. 4 soldiers wounded + some equipment and material losses
Israelis saying the sirens went off near nuclear reactor because of a Syrian surface to air missile chasing an israeli jet that had just bombed the Golan Heights. Their spokesperson insists it's not an attempt on the nuclear reactor.

"It was just a routine illegal bombing" lol
Full breakdown

WATCH: Iran Responds to Israeli Attack on Natanz Nuclear Facility

Image
The centrifuges damaged by israel were the older, first generation IR-1s. They've been replaced by the newer IR-6 generation. Iran also announced it will add another 1000 centrifuges to the Natanz facility and successfully enriched uranium to 60%.
Israel is a reckless, unhinged terrorist entity that thinks blowing up nuclear facilities and killing scientists is acceptable. Imagine if Iran did that to them. We'd never hear the end of it.

WATCH: Cop Who Shot Jacob Blake 7 Times, Paralyzing Him, Given Job Back

Image
Anyone who empties a clip at point blank into someone's back is the definition of trigger-happy. That's not policing.
I don't buy this excuse that police can potentially murder or paralyze someone over a pocket knife. Here's police in London disarming a man with a machete and no one is killed. There are always other ways to handle these situations they just don't care.

American media is not only bought and owned by corporations, who have a profit incentive– it's purposely designed to make people dumb and ignorant on virtually every issue.
Imagine if they spent just 1% of the air time covering Palestine, Yemen, or any issue of substance with honesty instead of recycling this garbage about Russian bounties or fear mongering about China. It's incorrigible.
Don't get me wrong, the British tabloid press is equally rank, but given the magnitude of American corporate media they definitely take the cake in many regards. Although the BBC are never far behind lol.

Officials need to stop asking people to be calm and suspects to be calm and start asking the police to be calm instead. Yelling and drawing guns is not serving a community, that's oppression and terrorism. The word "deescalation" doesn't even exist in their vocabulary.
People resist arrest all the time in the UK that doesn't mean the police can kill them. Some of them are violent, drunk or on drugs too. Still doesn't mean the police can kill them. There are so many different ways you can handle a situation without taking someone's life.
UK has its own issues with race and violence, but the fact most police are unarmed it forces them to take a different approach. Can't be shooting first and asking questions later, this is insanity.

WATCH: The Video That Changed Everything.

11 years to the day, @wikileaks published the "Collateral Murder" showing Iraqi civilians, among them children and two Reuters journalists gunned down by a US Apache helicopter in Baghdad, 2007. The soldiers can be heard laughing and joking as they also shoot the rescue vehicle.
Dean Yates was Baghdad bureau chief for Reuters at the time. When probing the US military about the death of his colleagues, was only shown the first few minutes of the video. He never knew the truth about this incident until Wikileaks published the video.

You know Press TV, CGTN, Sputnik and Telesur are doing something right when OFCOM (Britain’s regulator) takes them off the air and/or Silicon Valley giants repeatedly ban their pages & accounts.

Western govts can’t stand foreign outlets informing their populace, esp in English.
“Freedom of the press” means you can choose between MSNBC, FOX and CNN. Anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, anti-war reporting will not be tolerated. You’ll get banned or thrown in jail and accused of espionage.
This idea that Big Tech and the govt are trying to protect people from “state media” and “disinformation” is bollocks. You’ll never see a label under Reuters or BBC for taking money from HM’s Govt. You’ll never see CNN or the NYT banned on FB for lying about chemical weapons.
