I was in a Hezbollah tunnel – this is what awaits Israel [...] It was May 2020 when I toured the tunnel with an Israeli army commander, a time when a full-scale Israeli invasion of Lebanon was only a vague possibility. But with a possible ground invasion looming, the tunnel offers just a glimpse of the type of enclosed, difficult territory Israeli troops will be facing. It is also just one component of Hezbollah's vast arsenal, which also includes huge quantities of precision Iranian missiles smuggled into Lebanon via Syria. Col Roi Yosef Levy, then Israel's Northern Border brigade commander for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said as he showed me around the tunnel, "[It took] 14 years to build and only a few people inside Hezbollah knew about it." Had the tunnel not been discovered, Israel suspects it would have been used to launch a surprise assault on the north, perhaps to capture hostages and then take them back to Lebanon. Hezbollah's tunnel network is now feared to have grown even more vast and sophisticated in the four years since its discovery, posing a challenge for Israel should it opt for a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Israel estimates that the tunnel network, which can be used for hiding shock troops for attacks or moving supplies, stretches for hundreds of kilometres.

Costco, yes, for what's on sale that month. I get everything that I possibly can at Aldi as a first stop. The savings are incredible. I then fill in at other markets, typically on the basis of sales or coupons.

You don't include such information in this letter. Use the standard verbiage that's required, and nothing more. Nope. Explain it when asked. Dismiss this attorney, if you're getting yet another bad piece of advice.

Biden Rushed Into Surgery After Eating Sock WASHINGTON—After paramedics used a scalpel to open an airway and keep him from asphyxiating en route to the hospital, President Joe Biden was reportedly rushed into surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday to remove a sock that had become lodged in his throat after he tried to eat it. "While it's true President Biden partially ingested a striped dress sock earlier today, I want to assure everyone that this is a routine surgery, and the president is expected to be back home enjoying his favorite treats in just a few hours," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who confirmed the commander-in-chief had stolen the sock from a partially open drawer in the Executive Residence while Secret Service agents weren't looking and had [...] https://theonion.com/biden-rushed-into-surgery-after-eating-sock/
