🇸🇾🇮🇱 - Israeli soldiers destroyed a decades old cross at the summit of Mount Hermon in Syria. This was a known pilgrimage site for Christians including from Lebanon.
The soldiers’ explanation on why they did so:
“In the briefing, we are told that the point to which the climbers and the people are going to work and place things is at the top of the peak (it is literally a kilometer north of the highest UN post on the mountain) which they decided to call - listen carefully - "The Jesus" and why - because there is a cross there that was built there a long time ago and it marks the summit, the place there to this day is called - "The Cross"
We really didn't like it and were worried that from now on, no one would have a reason to see a cross there and call this place that...”
While emphasizing the evil of other actors, we cannot deny the aggression and blasphemy that was committed out of hatred for Christ and the Cross, in Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, south Lebanon, and now Syria.

"There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into." Two days after Russia invaded Ukraine, an account on the Telegram messaging platform posing as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged his armed forces to surrender.
