Ukraine's strikes deep into Russian territory have "broken" the faith Russian people hold that their country is powerful and safe, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said on Sept. 14.
Qatar is currently in talks with the German government to potentially buy Rosneft's assets in Germany . According to Bloomberg, citing unnamed source...
> It's not surprising that Qatar is interested in picking up Rosneft's assets in Germany, given their existing strong ties with Russia. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which is Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, already owns nearly 19% of Rosneft’s shares, a stake they acquired back in 2016. This move was a significant step in bolstering economic connections between Russia and Qatar. If this deal goes through, it could further deepen those ties and give Qatar even more influence in Europe's energy sector.
"As promised, Finland will continue to provide material assistance. Our message to partner countries is that we must not give up," Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen (NCP) said in a release.

After months of contradictory reports, the U.S. on Sept. 10 confirmed that Iran had delivered ballistic missiles to Russia in what could prove a dramatic development for Ukraine. "We've warned Tehran publicly, we've warned Tehran privately, that taking this step would be a dangerous escalation," U....

> On June 29, Russian forces brought in military reinforcements to Al-Izaah base, six kilometers west of Kobani, which they established on June 13, after it was evacuated years ago. The reinforcements arrived from Sarrin Airport in Aleppo countryside, to be transported by land to the base. The reinforcements include weapons, ammunition, military vehicles and dozens of soldiers.
Just Kurds or also Ukrainian forces in Syria giving them a hard time?
Iran has sent ballistic missiles to Russia to aid its war in Ukraine despite months of warnings by US and European officials not to do so, people familiar with the matter said.
Downing Street believed to support weapons’ use but will not say so publicly amid disagreements with US
Considering your previous post and now this, it is clear your posts are in bad faith.
I'll answer for the sake of others reading these comments.
First of all, Ashkenazi Jewish women aren't all Jewish women. Most Jews in Israel aren't Ashkenazi.
Either way, the study you linked to is the only study out of several that has met criticism from several geneticists and researchers.
There are several other studies that show mt-DNA of middle eastern origin.
They are all referred to in this Wikipedia page under "Maternal line".
Second, we're talking about ethnicity here, not religion. Jews are also an ethnic group. Y-DNA is very relevant.
They outlawed private DNA testing. As the article you linked to points out and explains.
This law was designed to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals and their families from the misuse of genetic information. According to this law, it is illegal to use a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing kit in Israel, unless you have a court order or a special permission from the Ministry of Health.
The law does not apply to all types of genetic testing
Another possibility is to use a DNA testing service that is authorized by the Israeli Ministry of Health
And there's plenty of research that shows all Jews share a common genetic lineage to other groups in the middle east like Syrians and Lebanese.
One example: Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes

The well in the Şehid Xebat district is a central component of the district's water supply after the infrastructure in large parts of the region was destroyed by air strikes by the Turkish military. The project, funded by the Berlin State Office for Development Cooperation (LEZ), was implemented by the Berlin twin town partnership Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg – Dêrik together with the city administration in Dêrik and the "Make Rojava Green Again" initiative.

Given the track record of its predecessor, the Mohajer-6, there's a chance they could be appearing in the skies of Ukraine in the near future.
US has accused Iran of sending drones to Russia that were used in Moscow's invasion of Ukraine; Tehran denies this
On June 21, on a street in Tehran, two teenage girls were violently assaulted and arrested by agents enforcing a plan to impose hijab known as the “Noor Plan,” as reported by Ensaf News. These girls were then transferred to the Morality Police in a white van. According to the mother of one of the […...
Yes, he was the Hamas leader in the Gaza strip.
The whole mess started exactly because Haniyeh was a hardliner that wasn't willing to accept any previous agreements the PLO had already made.
Hamas took over Gaza shortly after agreeing to a unity government with Fatah.
The point is, there wasn't much of a difference between Haniyeh and Sinwar.
I still don't understand how anyone calls him a "moderate".
This is the guy who was the leader of Hamas in Gaza when they took control from Fatah by throwing officials from buildings and shooting into crowds of their supporters.
Every step they took since the 7th of October was only with Sinwar's approval anyway. Nothing has actually changed in that manner.
There are plenty of companies with R&D centers in Israel. Including Chinese companies like Xiaomi.
Haven't heard of anyone closing up shop.
Israelita is Israelite. Jews are Israelites.
That community center was founded before the state of Israel existed.
I'm guessing it's a reference to what Hezbollah's already done
I'll focus only on a few big points.
Turkey also bombs the SDF, which isn't considered a terrorist group by anyone (other than Turkey and Qatar maybe).
Even the PKK, which is the worst out of the Kurdish groups, only calls for an autonomous area in Turkey, and not for the annihalation of Turkey or for the death of all Turks.
The Kurds were oppressed and persecuted for a very long time under Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Their neighbours all want them gone or dead (although some would be fine "just" with forced assimilation), similarily to how they view / have viewed Israel and Jews.
Kurds barely get any support, even from the USA.
Hamas has the support of many states and groups all over the region.
I'd say these are quite different situations.
All the negotiations were approved by Sinwar in Gaza, who's supposedly the most fanatic one.
His death weakens them, although it's certainly not enough. But he's also not the only one they got to.
Hamas is close to losing their grip on Gaza. It will benefit everyone if they become irrelevant.
Moderate?
The guy who lead Hamas when they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters?
That under him Hamas charter included this very moderate part
“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”
He wasn't a moderate in any way, and it's bizarre to see people referring to him in this way.
Quoting from the linked article:
has been killed by a strike in Tehran
Since it's written right after the mention of their drug trade, I'm guessing it's about Hezbollah's drug trade with ISIS https://www.phc.edu/intelligencer/hezbollahs-drug-deal-with-isis
Maybe also related to the Assad regime's use of ISIS as a tool against the Druze.

Yes it always had English printed on it.
Falaq-1 Wikipedia page
It hit an area where people do not serve in the IDF.
This was generally true before the Syrian civil war. Things have changed since.
Haaretz article about it
Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.
Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.
Druze serve in the IDF.
Edit: Although it's true that Druze in the Golan are different than the rest of the Druze in Israel, in that some of them don't serve.
