From CNN live updates:

Evidence suggests gunmen at music festival threw grenade into bomb shelter
From CNN's Nic Robertson in Ashdod, Israel

The bullet holes and empty shell casings littered inside a bomb shelter near the music festival attacked on Saturday indicate that Hamas militants threw a grenade and opened fire at civilians sheltering inside, according to a weapons expert.

CNN visited the bomb shelter on Monday and saw a number of empty shell casings on the floor, in addition to bullet holes high up on the walls. The military expert who accompanied CNN in the shelter concluded that the location of the holes, in addition to their height, pattern and size, were caused by gunfire.

CNN is not naming the weapons expert because the individual is in a conflict zone in Israel.

Israeli general describes moment his soldiers found dead bodies in kibbutz attacked by Hamas
From CNNs Nic Robertson, Muhammad Darwish and Martin Goillandeau

Just a few hours after Israeli troops secured the Kfar Aza kibbutz from Hamas militants, Major Gen. Itai Veruv reflected on what he saw although he has the skills to prepare for this sort of situation from his many years of experience, he had never imagined anything like this could happen.

Ive never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service this something I never imagined, he told CNN on Tuesday

Veruv couldnt confirm how many people were killed in the attack but said his soldiers spent about 48 hours fighting waves and waves of terrorists on roads and in neighboring communities.

Veruv said he started fighting Hamas militants in the Yakhini moshav (community) on Saturday, moving then from battle to battle, on the road to Sderot, before joining the Beeri kibbutz on Monday evening.

In Be'eri, he said he saw that some people came out with their children and [Hamas attackers] killed them. They killed babies in front of their parents and then killed the parents. They killed parents and we found babies between the dogs and their families killed before him.

Thinking about what he saw in Kfar Aza kibbutz, just a few miles from Be'eri, he said, I have heard during my childhood about the pogroms in Europe, the Holocaust, of course. All my family came from Europe, they are survivors. But I never thought I would see in my eyes pictures and things like that

Yet, Veruv said it was not a time for feelings.

Now is time for the mission and to be very effective and very strong," he said. "Maybe later, we will take time to think about ourself and our soul. Now, I only want to fight in defense and attack."

Two foreign workers killed in rocket attack in southern Israel, volunteer medic group says
From CNN's Amil Tal

Two foreign workers were killed and another seriously injured in a rocket attack Tuesday in the Eshkol region in southern Israel, according to United Hatzalah, a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) group.

"The two foreign workers were found lifeless as a result of the rocket hit. Unfortunately, their death had to be pronounced at the scene. We also provided initial treatment to an additional foreign worker who was seriously injured and are continuing to scan the area to look for additional casualties, the medic group's volunteer David Ben Romano told CNN.

The nationalities of the foreign workers are not immediately clear.

Al-Qassam Brigades threatens to execute Israeli captives

Hamass al-Qassam Brigades have threatened to execute Israeli captives if Israel continues to bombard and kill civilians in Gaza.
"Only WE are allowed to kill civilians!"

Any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives in our custody, and we will be forced to broadcast this execution, said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the brigades, which represent the armed wing of Hamas.
"They'll be forced", my ass. This was always the plan.
Well, they graciously demanded a totally fair trade of ALL Hamas terrorists Israel has prisoner in exchange for their hostages. But when that obviously didn't bear fruit, this was always their plan.
And of course they'll air every execution, because they're terrorists.

We regret this decision, but we hold the Zionist enemy [Israel] and their leadership responsible for this.

There's been articles about negotiating the $6 billion since at least August, which means behind closed doors Iran's had months to plan on it.
The Biden admin says the money can only be used for food/medical stuff, but how is that being monitored/verified? And even if Iran were being honest about how the money is used, like the reporter said, money is fungible. Lets them shift more money to supplying Hamas.

Israel goes so far to avoid civilian deaths that they warn of impending air strikes in advance so people can evacuate, even though it means the evil fucking terrorists also get to flee.

But yeah, "same thing, both sides".

Harris checked a lot of boxes for the Biden campaign. Younger woman of color with a passionate base of supporters (however small the "KHive" is) from a state Biden lost in the primaries who directly challenged him in the debates and refrained from endorsing him until the primary was basically over. Basically the "opposite of Biden" on a surface level.
Yeah, I've never met a "passionate supporter" of Harris, lol. It's gotta be a pretty small group.
She's from a state Biden lost in the primaries...that Dems auto-win. Until the EC is abolished, it doesn't matter how hard a Dem presidential candidate wins California aside from MAYBE impacting tight House/local races down ballot.
She's a centrist, and so is he. She's not his "opposite" at all, and basically called him racist during the primary. She offered nothing but vitriol to him.

He wanted to establish that he was laying the foundation for the next generation of Democrats while uniting the party and out of the realistic options Harris achieved that best.
There were many better options than her.

I don't think Biden intentionally sabotaged her, but rather left her all the policy subjects that he didn't care about/wasn't an expert on/had a muddy history with and unfortunately they were all things Harris had no business talking about either. That's the type of issue you run into when you pick a running mate for optics rather than actual complimentary skillsets.
Picking for optics when you might actually need them to take over as president is monumentally stupid. I mean, it's always stupid, but especially so when you're a Joe Biden or John McCain.

No, she hasn't. Biden specifically wanted to prop up the VP to become the next president after him, due to his age and good chance he couldn't complete 2 full terms.
Having someone who simultaneously accomplished nothing as VP yet also is hated by pretty much everyone is an unmitigated failure.
He tried to give her prominent roles like w/ the border, and she floundered every one of them. Granted, I think he chose poor roles to give her to set her up for success (the border is one of the biggest "pass the buck forward and hope the snowball rolling down the hill hits some later schmuck" issues in the U.S. besides the deficit and Fed policies) and possibly secretly hates her (like most of us do openly) and set her up to fail intentionally. But again...why the fuck even make her VP, then? I know his staff pushed him for it, but he should've pushed back.

I just got a pop up w/ it. Once I X'd out and hit play again everything was fine, but it bodes poorly for the future...
Hopefully more people move to Odysee or Vimeo or wherever soon.
