The Israeli military’s demolition of an entire village in #Lebanon is “a #Nakba of 2026,” the presence of hunting rifles and a #Hezbollah flag is enough to have a #Lebanese home designated “terrorist infrastructure,” and Israeli soldiers have operated there and in #Gaza out of a “sense of revenge.”

Those are some of the observations of a recently returned #IsraelDefenseForces (#IDF) reservist, whose testimony further calls into question continuing #US support for #Israel’s #war efforts in the region and starkly underlines the risks of a proposal currently on track to become law that would yet more deeply fuse the US and #Israeli #militaries together.

Congress Quietly Moves To Integrate US And Israeli Militaries

„In the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows, the House's 2027 NDAA would all but fuse the two countries' armed forces together.“

From #Iran to #Ukraine ,everyone's trying to #hack #security #cameras

For decades, #satellites , #drones , & human spotters have all been part of war’s #surveillance & #reconnaissance tool kit. In an age of cheap, insecure, Internet-connected consumer devices, however, #militaries have gained another powerful set of eyes on the ground: every hackable security camera installed outside a home or on a city street, pointed at potential bombing targets

How tenaciously #Palantir courted Switzerland

The #controversial #tech company Palantir provides #surveillance #technology to #militaries and #intelligence services around the world.

In #Switzerland, however, its pitches have been rejected by both government authorities and the #army.

Internal documents have now revealed why.

#ICE Is Going on a #Surveillance Shopping Spree

Standing at $28.7 billion dollars for the year 2025 (nearly triple their 2024 budget) and at least another $56.25 billion over the next three years, ICE's budget would be the envy of many national #militaries around the world. Indeed, this budget would put ICE as the 14th most well-funded #military in the world, right between Ukraine and Israel.
