the event created a difficult atmosphere in the battalion, and so it was decided to withdraw it for a pause and refreshment at the soldier's association's recreational facility in Ashkelon

Lol does this sound as tremendously lovely in the original context

I'm going to throw out a book recommendation for Amal Saad's "Hizbullah Politics and Religion" for a great look into the history, ideology, and inner workings of the party.

Saad was also recently interviewed by Louis Allday for "The East is a Podcast" podcast, if you prefer to consume your media that way. In particular, Saad goes into the meaning of Nasrallah's recent speeches and why Hizbullah cannot "just" march on Tel Aviv or otherwise go all out against Israel the way we might want them to.

I'm only up to the first couple of chapters of Saad's book but the description of Hizbullah's synthesis of Marxism and Shia Islam is rather attractive. These are very intelligent, very determined people with a clear political project and the vision and the means to see it through.

"Roni's unbelievable survival story: the building to which he was kidnapped was bombed, he escaped for 4 days - and Gazans turned him in to Hamas again"

https://twitter.com/N12News/status/1729068133434921192?t=6qmc0kEtohBesjACZSQvqA&s=19

quote:

14 Israeli hostages were released from captivity by Hamas yesterday, one of which is the 25 year old Roni Kriboy, who was kidnapped from the nature party at Reim on October 7th. His aunt, Yalna Magid, told this morning (Monday) what her nephew went through in the 51 days he spent in the Gaza strip in an exceptional survival story that included an escape from the terrorists and an attempt to return to Israel, until he met Gazan residents that returned him to the terrorists' hands.
[...]
"He said he was kidnapped by terrorists and held in some building, and I understand that from the bombs the building collapsed and he managed to get out of there and escape. Like a movie. For a couple days, he hid there and was alone. In the end, the Gazans caught him and returned him to the terrorists' hands."

She added that Roni was hit in the head by a rock that fell from the collapsed building, but despite this successfully escaped from [it], and wandered alone in the strip in an attempt to return to Israel.

Hmmm, looks like Hamas aren't the ones putting the hostages in danger.

By the way, this was the guy with Russian citizenship that Putin asked to be released.

theoretically even if he wandered up to the IDF all dazed they would have just shot him on sight, literally the only safe way for hostages to leave is via the red cross

It’s a weird area to make jokes in because it’s just two very very extreme things that are both true. Like you want to do a joke about a rifle that has biometric scanners that log you in to your mindfulness app with custom daily affirmations, maybe the optic is also a retinal scanner, maybe there’s a little points system where if you unlock it every day you get dominos coupons, but they’re also gonna point that gun at a kid today. It’s hard to find the correct tone for that

I mean, they really did get pizza that one time. Unclear if they took it with them into Gaza from the start or if it got delivered somehow.

they found some (tens) Palestinian kids in a school making rude gestures and neither the air strike or the pizza they called in arrived in 30 minutes so they rated one star and went back to the fun base for snacks.
