🇸🇾 - Unconfirmed, militants from Talkalakh, reportedly some Lebanese jihadists from Akkar among them attempted to attack Alawite village of Ransieh. Locals allegedly fired back killing 4 militants and wounding commanders.
At the same time, allegedly threats have been made to Wadi al Nasara/Valley of the Christians as an "entry point" to the Alawite villages in Tartus. This can potentially lead to attacks on Christians in those villages, reinforcing the need to arm Wadi al Nasara and other villages in Homs and Tartus.

"Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look.
