○ "Qassam fighters were able to engage a special Zionist force at point-blank range, killing and wounding several of its members west of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip." ——— ○ "During a complex ambush east of the Jabalia camp, our fighters targeted a mechanized infantry platoon of the Israeli army consisting of 12 military vehicles and a truck loaded with soldiers.
As the unit reached the kill zone, an explosive device “Shuath” was detonated on the truck carrying troops, followed by a "Ra'ad" device on a military vehicle and a "Tandem" rocket targeting another.
Our fighters then advanced toward the ambush area and eliminated the remaining soldiers at close range with light weapons, also targeting several soldiers who fled toward a nearby house with an anti-personnel device, resulting in casualties among them."

The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government.
