📜 ISRAELI DRONE FIRM XTEND BOASTS EVEN A CHILD COULD FLY THEIR AI KILLERS Israeli drone maker XTEND, peddling AI-powered attack drones, brags their gear is so idiot-proof a child could run it. Co-founder Aviv Shapira claims the toys have been battle-tested from day one, with just three units handled by one soldier or guard—no need to even be there in person. Company pushes this "simplicity" hard amid their endless conflicts. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 ISRAELI FORCES SIEGE FREEDOM FLOTILLA SHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS Israeli occupation forces keep their stranglehold on Freedom Flotilla ships aiming to bust Gaza's blockade, per video footage.

📜 ISRAELI FORCES TRASH CHRISTIAN HOMES IN LEBANON'S DEBEL AFTER OCCUPYING THEM They withdrew, leaving the properties in disarray. Video shows a house interior post-use: trashed rooms, scattered debris, structural damage. Israeli journalist Itay Elenia said:

"This is what a house in the Christian town of Debel looks like after it was used by the Israeli army. Hundreds of residents served alongside Israel. Some now live in Israel. This behavior does not serve our ability to gain the trust of Christians in southern Lebanon."

KOSTYA VOLKOV WAS BEATEN TODAY IN MOSCOW It's all because of a big casino win at Cabura Kostya's "friends", having learned about the win, pressured him for money, threatened reprisals, and after he refused to share the winnings, they proceeded to action. They twisted his arms, hit him on the head with improvised objects, beat him with feet and hands for an hour. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time and saved the young guy's life. We wish him a speedy recovery! ✍🏼 CITIZEN JOURNALISM From @pakkazzz Forwarded via Marduk by 𝙹𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚕 @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

📜 FAUCI AIDE INDICTED FOR HIDING COVID ORIGINS RECORDS Charges say he shielded NIH-funded scientists like Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, who ran bat coronavirus work at Wuhan Institute of Virology with NIH grants—EcoHealth also pocketed $40 million from the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 2013-2020. April 2020 emails have Morens assuring Daszak he and Fauci would manage the mess with "minimal damage" to Daszak's crew; Daszak thanked Fauci for pushing natural origin over Wuhan lab leak. May 11 deadline looms for possible Fauci charges over his oath-denied Wuhan funding. @TheBabylonTimes | Forum

Mali: According to the updated map published by AFP agency on April 28, 2026, there is a noticeable escalation of coordinated attacks carried out by jihadists of "Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin" (JNIM) in parallel with the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA). The attacks targeted strategic facilities controlled by Mali's ruling military council on April 25–26, indicating an expansion of the conflict and a complication of the operational situation. The map shows a wide geographical coverage of the attacks—from northern cities such as Kidal and Gao to central regions, including Mopti and Sévaré. In addition, the threat has spread to the outskirts of the capital Bamako and Kati—the stronghold of military power, which indicates a qualitative shift in the nature of operations: from the periphery to the deep regions of the country. ⤵️Map designations: Red circles—cities and facilities that were subjected to direct coordinated attacks on April 25–26.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Their nuclear facilities were completely destroyed." Senator Smith: "Wait, wait... You just said we had to start this war because nuclear weapons posed an imminent threat, and now you're claiming they are completely destroyed?" Hegseth: "They didn't abandon their ambitions."

📜 IRAN CONFLICT CHOKES GLOBAL SULFUR SUPPLIES, SPIKING PRICES AND THREATENING FERTILIZERS, MINING, EVERYWHERE Prices hit multi-year peaks on top of Ukraine war shortages and surging demand from Indonesia's nickel boom. Turkey's banned exports, India's mulling restrictions, and China's halting overseas sulfuric acid from smelters come May to hoard for home. Scarce backups mean African copper mines at risk of shutdowns, Indonesian nickel cuts, and pricier fertilizers squeezing world food supplies. @TheBabylonTimes
