 About 50% of Iran's ballistic missiles failed to take off or did not reach their targets in Israel in the April 13 attack, Fox News reports citing an unnamed American official. According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran fired 115 to 130 ballistic missiles at Israel. U.S. officials indicated that only half of the missiles fired were intercepted, with the rest missing their target. It is noted that roughly 50% of the ballistic missiles fired by Iran failed to launch or crashed before reaching their target, three U.S. officials said. So much for the vaunted ballistic missile capability of Iran, said a U.S. official. Recall, on the evening of April 13, Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel, calling it a response to numerous crimes, including an air attack on the consular section of the Islamic Republic's embassy in Damascus. In light of the attack, the Israeli War Cabinet conducted deliberation for over three hours but did not reach a unanimous decision over how the country would respond to the Iranian attack. An official source from the Israeli Prime Minister's office said that while the Cabinet is certain that, there will be a response, they are waiting for the Israeli Defense Force to, present options. The source told that the Cabinet unanimously favors a retaliation against Iran but continues to remain divided over the timing and scale of any such response. Russia's strategist and troll army wages in for war against U.S. support for Ukraine. The Washington Post reviewed a trove of internal Kremlin documents obtained by a European intelligence service and found proof that a Russian propaganda operation is aimed at weakening American support for Ukraine and discrediting Ukraine in the public eye. The operation poses a grave threat as U.S. support is now crucial for Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian aggression. However, Congress has stalled the aid package with over $60 billion for Ukraine for over six months. Without this aid, Ukraine has no choice but to retreat as per Ukrainian President Zelensky. The Russian propaganda campaign seeks to fuel anti-Ukrainian sentiment by encouraging American isolationism, heightening concerns over U.S. border security, and exacerbating economic and racial tensions. The campaign, which intensified in January 2023, involves the creation of thousands of fake news articles, social media posts, and comments by Kremlin-linked strategists and troll farms, according to the Washington Post. The metadata from many of the leaked documents points to their creation by a team working under Ilya Gambashidze, the head of a Moscow-based PR firm called the Social Design Agency. Last month, the U.S. sanctioned Gambashidze for his role in a sustained and malicious foreign influence campaign orchestrated by the Kremlin. This campaign, which Western officials have dubbed doppelganger, involved setting up websites masquerading as legitimate European media outlets. More than 100 leaked documents spanning from May 2022 to August 2023 provide insight into the scale and tactics of Moscow's efforts to weaken support for Ukraine, not only in the U.S. but also in France and Germany, one tactic involved creating a fictitious American character who opposes military aid for Ukraine. The character argues that the government should instead allocate the funds to secure America's borders and claims that he sees that Biden's policies are leading the U.S. towards collapse. The Washington Post reports the Kremlin's strategists recommended numerous ideas for articles and social media posts, including one comparing homelessness levels in the U.S. and Russia, suggesting that the United States increasingly resembled a third-world country. Kremlin-linked strategists send out written proposals for social media posts, comments and YouTube videos that would inflame racial and social tensions in the U.S. and highlight themes of widespread poverty, high inflation, economic stagnation and the potential loss of jobs for white Americans while suggesting that colored and degenerate people and invalids receive special treatment.
