An expose of how UNRWA, funded by billions of US and international dollars, acts as an arm of Hamas to set up schools throughout Gaza to instill the worst of the Muslim philosophies in Arab school children.

This same school indoctrination technique is used worldwide including the cancerous US school system, but is especially evil in the Arab world where schools openly promote Jewish genocide and martyrism.

A good friend of mine saw this curriculum decades ago in the Peace Corps when visiting Arab schools.

A month late, but I just read about a 14Aug2024 cyberattack on the Iran central bank, and in Dec2023, there was a cyberattack on the Iran gas station network.

"Dear customers, it is impossible to withdraw money from this ATM. This is because all of Iran's national budget and resources have been allocated to the wars and the corrupt religious leaders of the Islamic Republic regime. We are very sorry."

The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and other banks were targeted on Wednesday as part of a significant cyber attack that led to widespread disruptions in the country's banking system, Iran International reported.

According to reports, all the computer systems of the banks in Iran were paralyzed following the cyber attack. Initial estimates indicated that this could be one of the largest-ever cyberattacks against Iranian state infrastructure.

The last cyber attack carried out against Iranian institutions took place last December when a significant part of the gas stations in the country were damaged as part of a cyber attack, which the Iranians attributed to Israel and the US.

According to Iran International later on Wednesday, data was stolen during the attack.

Hebrew media highlight report of major cyberattack on Iranian banking system; no confirmation
The Times of Israel
August 14, 2024

Three hours after the London-based Iran International reported a massive cyberattack targeting Iran’s central bank and other Iranian banks, there is as yet no additional source describing the attack and no comment from Iran.

The report by the anti-regime outlet, which alleges widespread disruption to the Iranian banking system and says the attack “could be one of the largest cyberattacks ever against Iranian state infrastructure,” is being prominently highlighted in Hebrew media.

Babak Itzhaki, Iran International’s Israel correspondent, tells Israel’s Channel 12 that the Iranian regime has been trying to cover up the attack for several hours. He claims hackers have obtained bank details and credit card details of millions of Iranians.

Noting that there is no official response from Iran to the report to date, he says he anticipates a denial by the regime.

Its seems other communication devices detonated as well. Radios etc. First sources indicate overloaded Li+ batteries. And now its 2700 wounded and several dead. Main injuries are face/eyes, hands, and stomach (most pagers were atteached to belts).

Thats why there are several claims the operation is named: 'Below (or under) the belt'.

At least eight dead, including Hezbollah fighters, 2,750 wounded in pager blasts in Lebanon

By Laila Bassam

BEIRUT (Reuters) -At least eight people were killed and 2,750 others including Hezbollah fighters, medics and Iran's envoy to Beirut were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, security sources and the Lebanese health minister said.

Lebanon's information minister Ziad Makary said the government condemned the detonation of the pagers as an "Israeli aggression". Hezbollah also blamed Israel for the pager blasts and said it would receive "its fair punishment".

The Israeli military declined to comment on Reuters enquiries about the detonations.

A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of conflict with Israel.

Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza war erupted last October, in the worst such escalation in years.

Hezbollah confirmed in a statement the deaths of at least three people, including two of its fighters. The third person killed was a girl, it said, adding that an investigation was being conducted into the causes of the blasts.

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was not hurt in the explosions, the group said.

The wave of explosions lasted around an hour after the initial detonations, which took place about 3:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT). It was not immediately clear how the devices were detonated.

The Lebanese foreign ministry described the explosions as a "dangerous and deliberate Israeli escalation" which it said had been "accompanied by Israeli threats to expand the war towards Lebanon on a large scale".

Lebanese internal security forces said a number of wireless communication devices were detonated across Lebanon, especially in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.

The pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources said.

MANY INJURED

Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said 2,750 people had been wounded in the explosions, 200 of them critically.

Many of those hurt included Hezbollah fighters who are the sons of top officials from the armed group, two security sources told Reuters.

One of the fighters killed was the son of a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese parliament, Ali Ammar, they said.

Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, suffered a "superficial injury" in a pager explosion and is currently under observation in hospital, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

There was no word from the Israeli government on the explosions.

Earlier on Tuesday, Israel's domestic security agency said it had foiled a plot by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah to assassinate a former senior defence official in the coming days.

The Shin Bet agency, which did not name the official, said in a statement it had seized an explosive device attached to a remote detonation system, using a mobile phone and a camera that Hezbollah had planned to operate from Lebanon.

Shin Bet said the attempted attack was similar to a Hezbollah plot foiled in Tel Aviv a year ago, without giving further details.

Hezbollah has said it wants to avoid all-out conflict with Israel but that only an end to the Gaza war will stop the cross-border clashes. Gaza ceasefire efforts remain deadlocked after months of talks mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States.

SCREAMING IN PAIN

After Tuesday's blasts, a Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, amid widespread panic. A security source said that devices were also exploding in the south of Lebanon.

At Mt. Lebanon hospital, a Reuters reporter saw motorcycles rushing to the emergency room, where people with their hands bloodied were screaming in pain.

The head of the Nabatieh public hospital in the south of the country, Hassan Wazni, told Reuters that around 40 wounded people were being treated at his facility. The wounds included injuries to the face, eyes and limbs.

Groups of people huddled at the entrance of buildings to check on people they knew who may have been wounded, the Reuters journalist said.

Regional broadcasters carrying CCTV footage which showed what appeared to be a small handheld device placed next to a grocery store cashier where an individual was paying spontaneously exploding.

In other footage, an explosion appeared to knock out someone standing at a fruit stand at a market area.

Lebanon’s crisis operations center, which is run by the health ministry, asked all medical workers to head to their respective hospitals to help cope with the massive numbers of wounded coming in for urgent care. It said health care workers should not use pagers.

The Lebanese Red Cross said more than 50 ambulances and 300 emergency medical staff were dispatched to help in the evacuation of victims.

Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel immediately after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas gunmen on Israel that triggered the Gaza war. Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire constantly ever since, while avoiding a major escalation.

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced from towns and villages on both sides of the border by the hostilities.

On Tuesday, Israel added the safe return of its citizens forced to leave their homes near the border with Lebanon to its formal war goals.

Hezbollah in an earlier statement confirmed the deaths included at least two of its fighters and a little girl.

Hezbollah suffered a devastating blow today, thanks to the entirety of the Axis of Resistance ignoring the reality of Israel's ambitions.

Today should not have surprised them, and they likely won't even retaliate for today in an appropriate manner.

Israel has been stacking troops and equipment on the northern border for the last 10 months. Hezbollah has done next to nothing to scale this back, deal with it preemptively, or establish reliable deterrence with Israel at all. In short- Hezbollah has ignored the realities of Israel's ambitions, which is to destroy all of their neighboring threats, in one war.

Hezbollah has had ample time to prepare defenses for something like today. They should have, and likely did know that Israel was planning on moving the frontline to the north. They clearly ignored all possible threats and chose to pretend they were king of the hill.

Today, Israel carried out a grotesque and inhumane violation of not just Lebanon's sovereignty, but the dignity of humankind. Blowing up pagers and risking tens of thousands of civilians is something Israel is more than familiar with doing, but Hezbollah dug its head in the sand and pretended like everything was okay.

Today's attacks in Lebanon have crippled Hezbollah. Hundreds, if not thousands of fighters are missing fingers, limbs, and eyesight. Those injured today will likely never go back to combat. Hospitals are now packed full of injured innocents, and Hezbollah will never attack Israel when their communications are crippled and their hospitals are filled with innocents.

Hezbollah brought this on themselves. Resisting Israel with "strong words of condemnation" and miniscule, pussyfooted attacks is not enough to keep Israel in check. In fact, it energized Israel and made them push the envelope even further.

Perhaps the Axis of Resistance wakes up to the reality of their ineptitude, inaction, and weakness- but they likely won't. Eternal third world mindset.
