Yes: An explosive projectile fell from the sky, blowing up a van in Khan Yunis, pre-ceasefire.

How Ben and I know what we know and did what we could on the Gaza 'humanitarian zone'.

Thank you

There’s a quiet username gold rush happening. Mcdonalds, Tesco, CocaCola, Arsenal and MI5 all taken.

Of course! Thank you

A quicker thread on some simple guidelines when trying to geolocate within a city.

The IAF put out a video on 15 Oct showing a strike on the buildings below and claiming they had killed an Al-Qassam commander in Khan Yunis, Gaza.

I’d love to buy a Talulah Gish T-shirt!

CCTV shows cars swept away in Libya flooding Large parts of the city of Derna were destroyed after two dams burst, with thousands killed.

As comms, electricity, rescue teams and journalists reach Derna, Libya, more video of the earliest moments of the flood are emerging. They are nightmarish.
