Hezbollah plans ‘calculated strike’ on Israel that won’t spark war — report-Sources close to Iran-backed terror group say retaliatory measure for Israeli strike in Syria and alleged Lebanon raids will be limited, unless ‘matters develop’-By TOI staff-27 August 2019, 7:26 pm

Hezbollah is planning to launch a “calculated strike” on Israel in response to a series of alleged Israeli raids, but will seek to avoid an all-out war with the Jewish state, sources close to the Lebanese terrorist group told Reuters on Tuesday.One Hezbollah source said a measure was “being arranged in a way which wouldn’t lead to a war that neither Hezbollah nor Israel wants.”“The direction now is for a calculated strike, but how matters develop, that’s another thing,” the source added.Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have skyrocketed since Saturday night, when two of its members were killed in an Israeli strike in Syria, and drones crashed in a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut, in an incident also blamed on Israel. On Monday, Lebanon claimed Israeli drones attacked a Palestinian base in the country’s east.Israel took credit for the Syria raid, but has not commented on the other strikes. The model of UAV used in the Beirut attack has raised considerable questions about the drones’ provenance, with analysts suggesting they could be Iranian.Israel said the strike inside Syria had thwarted a plot by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to launch explosives-laden drones into Israel, overseen by powerful Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who heads the IRGC’s expeditionary Quds Force.At least five people were killed in the strike, including two Hezbollah members that Israel identified and said were trained in Iran, and an Iranian combatant.Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday threatened retaliatory strikes against Israel.“I say to the Israeli army along the border, from tonight be ready and wait for us,” he said in a televised speech. “Do not rest, do not be reassured, and do not bet for a single moment that Hezbollah will allow… aggression of this kind.”Nasrallah called the Beirut drones the first such “hostile action” since a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah which took the lives of 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and more than 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.Israel’s military has been gearing up for a possible reprisal attack from Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group that is part of the Lebanese government, deploying extra troops to the northern border and limiting some movement along the frontier.On Monday, an Israeli military official warned that any Israeli response would be disproportionate, and Israel sent a message to Lebanon via the US that it would not limit its response to Hezbollah but would view all of Lebanon as a legitimate target, according to reports by Israeli news outlets.On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Lebanon, Nasrallah and the head of the Quds Force to “be careful” with their words and actions.Netanyahu told a conference in Jerusalem that Nasrallah “knows very well that the State of Israel knows how to defend itself well, and to repay its enemies.”“I want to say to him and the Lebanese state, which is hosting this organization that aims to destroy us, and I say the same to Qassem Soleimani: Be careful about your words, and even more cautious about your actions.”Netanyahu went on to suggest that Nasrallah “calm down.”Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, asking him to use his “influence to prevent a further escalation of tensions between Israel and Lebanon.”According to Hariri’s office, the Lebanese prime minister told Lavrov that the attack in southern Beirut was “a dangerous act and aggression” and that he’s counting on Russia’s role to “avoid more escalation and tension and to send message to Israel to stop violating Lebanese sovereignty.”Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported Tuesday that senior US officials were putting pressure on Lebanon to rein in Hezbollah in order to avoid an escalation in violence, and were also attempting to defuse potentially explosive tensions.According to the paper, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Lebanese officials that Israel “did not intend to change the rules of the game” with the attack on the Iranian drone plot, explaining that the attack that killed Hezbollah personnel in Syria “was necessary to prevent an expected offensive from the Iranian side and that the Israeli forces confirmed that the headquarters was emptied of humans before bombarding it and that it didn’t intend to cause human casualties from Hezbollah’s ranks.”He also reportedly said of the drone crashes in the Beirut neighborhood of Dahiyeh that “there was no intention to undertake an attack,” blaming the issue on a malfunction.Agencies and Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

Gazan terrorists fire mortar shells at Israel; IDF retaliates with airstrike-One projectile strikes open field in south, causing no damage, three others land inside the Strip, amid soaring tensions-By Judah Ari Gross-toi-27 August 2019, 4:31 pm

Palestinian terrorists fired four mortar shells at Israel from the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, with one of them landing inside Israeli territory, the army said.In response, an Israeli aircraft bombed a Hamas observation post east of Juhor ad-Dik in the central Gaza Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces.No injuries were reported on either side.The military said one of the shells cleared the border and struck an open field in Israeli territory, causing no damage. Three appeared to have landed inside Gaza.The shell that hit Israel triggered rocket alert sirens in the area where the mortar landed, the army said.The volley came amid a flurry of rocket attacks and mutual threats between Israel and terror groups in the Gaza Strip. Israel has accused the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad of being behind the recent violence from the enclave.Senior Egyptian intelligence officials invited Hamas leaders to Cairo for talks aimed at restoring calm and a delegation led by two top Hamas members was slated to leave Gaza late on Monday, according to Israel’s Kan public broadcaster.A delegation from the Islamic Jihad is expected to head to Cairo in the coming days as well.Since the start of August, an uptick in rocket fire and attempts by Palestinian gunmen to cross from Gaza into Israel have been met with IDF airstrikes on Hamas targets, threatening a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the ruling terror group.On Sunday night, three rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel, causing some damage but no injuries. The rockets prompted reprisal Israeli strikes, and on Monday, Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians announced it had reduced fuel shipments to the Gaza Strip’s sole power plant.Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rukun — known formally as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories — said the downsizing of the shipments was ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also defense minister.Later Monday, Abu Rukun warned Gaza residents that the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group was actively trying to ignite a fresh war in the region.Hamas has denied it directed the latest rocket fire.Israel maintains that Hamas, as the Strip’s ruler, is ultimately responsible for all attacks emanating from the territory, while saying that it believes the Islamic Jihad is instigating the current unrest.The mortar attacks also came amid heightened tensions throughout the Middle East, as Israel squared off against Iran and its proxies in multiple countries, taking responsibility for an airstrike in Syria and being blamed for others in Lebanon and Iraq as well as an exploding drone incident which damaged a Hezbollah terror group complex in Beirut.The Iran-backed Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for the Syria attack, which killed some of its members.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Netanyahu warns Hezbollah, Lebanon to calm down, be careful amid attack fears-Prime minister also cautions Iran general Qassem Soleimani as troops in north brace for promised retaliation from terror group; US said to send message to Beirut to cool tensions-By TOI staff-27 August 2019, 1:03 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah to “calm down” Tuesday, as Israel braced for a possible retaliation from the Lebanese group in the north despite reported efforts by the US to cool tensions between Beirut and Jerusalem.“I heard Nasrallah’s speech. I suggest he calm down,” Netanyahu said at a ceremony in Jerusalem.In a fiery speech Sunday, Nasrallah vowed to exact revenge on the Jewish state following an Israeli strike against a weapons storage facility in Syria on Saturday night that left Hezbollah fighters dead. Israel has also been blamed for the apparent explosion or crash of two drones in a Hezbollah-controlled area of Beirut and an air raid on a Palestinian camp deep inside Lebanon.Israel said the strike inside Syria had thwarted a plot by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps to launch explosives-laden drones into Israel, overseen by powerful Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who heads the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps’s expeditionary Quds Force.“[Nasrallah] knows full well that Israel knows how to defend itself well and pay back its enemies in kind. I want to tell him and Lebanon, which hosts this organization that is trying to destroy us, and I say this to Qassem Soleimani: Be careful what you say and be more careful what you do.”Israel’s military has been gearing up for a possible reprisal attack from Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group that is part of the Lebanese government, deploying extra troops to the northern border and limiting some movement along the frontier.On Monday, an Israeli military official warned that any Israeli response would be disproportionate, and Israel sent a message to Lebanon via the US that it would not limit its response to Hezbollah but would view all of Lebanon as a legitimate target, according to reports by Israeli news outlets.Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported Tuesday that senior US officials were putting pressure on Lebanon to rein in Hezbollah in order to avoid an escalation in violence, and were also attempting to defuse potentially explosive tensions.According to the paper, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Lebanese officials that Israel “did not intend to change the rules of the game” with the attack on the Iranian drone plot, explaining that the attack that killed Hezbollah personnel in Syria “was necessary to prevent an expected offensive from the Iranian side and that the Israeli forces confirmed that the headquarters was emptied of humans before bombarding it and that it didn’t intend to cause human casualties from Hezbollah’s ranks.”He also reportedly said of the drone crashes in the Beirut neighborhood of Dahiyeh that “there was no intention to undertake an attack,” blaming the issue on a malfunction.Pompeo reportedly told Lebanese officials that the US “acknowledges that what happened is a violation of international resolutions, but [holds] it is still possible to bring the situation back under control.”Pompeo also urged Beirut, in the newspaper’s words, to “take a public position that prevents Hezbollah from carrying out military action against Israel.”Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and others have expressed worries that an Israeli reprisal could drag the country back into war.The pro-Hezbollah paper said Britain and France were also involved in efforts to calm the situation. On Monday, Hariri met with envoys from the US, UK, France, China and Russia to complain about Israeli violations of  UN Resolution 1701, which ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006 and set up a peacekeeping force on the border.According to the report, unnamed French and British representatives “suggested that guarantees would be given that Israel will not repeat its aggression and warning that Israel will deliver a major blow to Lebanon if Hezbollah responds with an attack along the borders.”It quoted UN envoy to Lebanon Jan Kubis as telling Lebanese President Michel Aoun and parliament speaker Nabih Berri on Monday that Israel made a mistake, but “Lebanon should take advantage of the opportunity to go to the Security Council to receive a condemnation of all Israeli violations from the ground, air and sea,” and expressing “readiness to help Lebanon receive such a resolution.”Aoun, a Hezbollah ally, told Kubis that Lebanon saw the alleged Israeli strikes as a “declaration of war.”According to al-Akhbar, Hezbollah has rejected the international pressure to pull back from plans to retaliate.In one of the last direct confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah — after the IDF allegedly killed two of the group’s members and an Iranian general in a 2015 airstrike — the Tehran-backed militia carried out an antitank guided missile attack on two Israeli military humvees in the disputed Shebaa Farms area along the Israeli-Lebanese border, killing two soldiers and injuring seven.

Beirut UAV raid, blamed on Israel, said to hit Hezbollah precision missile parts-Drones targeted two components necessary to turn terror group’s simple rockets into accurate missiles, according to unsourced UK Times article-By Judah Ari Gross-toi-27 August 2019, 6:03 pm

A drone attack on a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut early Sunday that was attributed to Israel targeted the Lebanese terror group’s precision missile project, the British Times newspaper reported Tuesday.In the predawn hours of Sunday morning, two copter-style drones crashed in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut, an area of the city known to house Hezbollah members and offices.One of the unmanned aerial vehicles was reportedly brought down by teenagers who pelted it with rocks. It was recovered by Hezbollah and taken away for study. The other drone exploded while still in the air, causing damage, according to Lebanese officials.Hezbollah has claimed that its media offices were damaged by the blast.However, according to the Times, the explosion set fire to two crates that held materials for a Hezbollah program to turn its stock of simple rockets into precision-guided missiles — a project that is of deep concern to Israel as it would significantly increase the threat posed by these projectiles.Expanded version of the above: pic.twitter.com/1VC5Cw6L7T— Richard Spencer (@RichardJSpencer) August 27, 2019-One of the crates contained a “computerized control” unit and the other held a specialized industrial mixer that is used to make solid-state fuel, the Times reported, providing no source for the information.The outlet said that these two crates were being held in Dahiyeh temporarily before being transferred to the factory where the actual work on the precision missile project was being performed.Israel has accused the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group of setting up factories in Lebanon to develop precision-guided missiles and vowed to thwart its efforts. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has denied the existence of the factories but said his organization does possess such weaponry.Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have blamed Israel for the drone strike earlier this week. However, the model of UAV used in the attack has raised considerable questions about the drones’ provenance. Israeli officials have refused to comment on the event.The reported Beirut drone attack came after Israel on Saturday carried out airstrikes in neighboring Syria to thwart what it said was a plot to fly explosives-laden drones into the country.Nasrallah on Sunday said two Hezbollah members were among those killed in the Syria strike. They were buried in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Monday, amid a large turnout of party supporters.On Tuesday, Hezbollah said the drone that crashed in Beirut contained an explosive device weighing more than five kilograms (11 pounds).“Experts dismantled the first drone that crashed in Beirut’s southern suburbs, it was found that it contained a sealed explosive device” of around 5.5 kilograms, Hezbollah said in a statement.“We confirm that the purpose of this first drone was not reconnaissance but the carrying out of a bombing attack,” it added.The latest discovery, Hezbollah said, confirms that Sunday’s drone attack involved not one but two explosive-rigged drones — one which exploded and the other that did not because of a technical failure.While both Hezbollah and the Lebanese military insist the drones were sent by Israel, several well-connected Israeli commentators, including a former IDF general, said the drones appeared to be of Iranian origin.Official Lebanese state media released a photograph of the quadcopter-style UAV that crashed. It appears to be based on a civilian model with extremely limited range that the Israeli military would likely be unable or uninterested in using for a sensitive operation like conducting reconnaissance on, or attacking, a Hezbollah stronghold.Earlier on Monday, Lebanese President Michel Aoun denounced the alleged Israeli drone attack as a “declaration of war.”It was the first such “hostile action” in Lebanon since a 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, the Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday, vowing retaliation.Hezbollah, considered a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States, is a major political actor in Lebanon and also a key government backer in war-torn Syria.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

With virtual reality, Israeli soldiers train in simulated terror tunnels-IDF using computer technology to teach troops to navigate Hamas and Hezbollah underground passages-By Alexandra Vardi-toi-27 August 2019, 4:16 pm

AFP — An Israeli soldier carefully eyes the narrow, damp tunnel carved from surrounding rock through a tightly strapped black headset.He is not in one of the attack tunnels built by Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah under the border with Israel, but one of a new generation of soldiers using virtual and augmented reality to train.In a small computer-lined room, T., a 20-year-old member of Yahalom, or Diamond — the special operations unit of the army’s combat engineering corps — simulates an advance along the narrow passage.His head sweeps from side to side and up and down, while his hands probe walls invisible to the onlooker.“We see everything, even falling drops of water,” says the soldier, who cannot be named for security reasons.“I really feel like I’m there,” he tells AFP. “I feel the humidity, the sense of being stifled.”The headset displays every detail of the virtual tunnel — a reconstruction of one of several subterranean infiltrations uncovered by the army — allowing instructors to guide T. in real time.In December, the Israeli army launched an anti-tunnel operation on the Lebanese border dubbed “Northern Shield.” Israel said it had found six tunnels, while UN officials confirmed three reached into the Jewish state’s territory. Hezbollah planned to use them to abduct or kill Israeli soldiers or civilians, and to seize territory in the event of hostilities, according to the military. They ran for dozens of meters and some reached a depth of 55 meters (180 feet).In recent days, fresh tensions have erupted between Hezbollah and Israel; the Iran-aligned Shiite movement blamed the Jewish state for a drone attack on its Beirut stronghold. Israel has not commented. Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah called it the first such “hostile action” since a 2006 war between his movement and the Jewish state. He threatened retaliation.The Israeli army is also on the lookout for tunnels dug into the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. They are used by terrorists and, on the Egyptian border, smugglers trying to circumvent a blockade on the Palestinian enclave. The Israeli army says it has destroyed several tunnels that ran into its territory and were designed as attack launchpads. The Egyptian army has vigorously hunted for and blocked smuggling tunnels from its side of the frontier.Jerusalem says the blockade is in place in order to prevent weapons and other military equipment from entering the Strip. Israel and Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, have fought several wars and engaged in numerous clashes over the past 12 years, with the terrorist group launching thousands of rockets and mortars into Israeli territory.‘Technology is essential’-Until recently the domain of video game creators, the virtual world has in recent years made inroads into medical, aerospace and military research, where it is increasingly used for training.“Technology is an essential part of the fight,” which justifies heavy investment, says H., commanding officer of Yahalom’s training center at a military base in central Israel.The Hezbollah tunnels exposed by Israel have been digitally scanned and appear on a soldier’s headset as they are in reality.“The soldier sees what a tunnel looks like,” says H.Since it is not always possible to train in the field, the virtual world allows personnel to familiarize themselves with a hostile underground environment without leaving their base, he added. There are a dozen soldiers on the current course; 100 have been through it since it began three years ago.While virtual reality (VR) aims to place the person in a simulated world, augmented reality (AR) allows elements to be added in a real-world environment. Both aim to provide a multi-sensory experience. Soldiers can experience scenarios where there are obstacles such as holes, cables, or explosive devices and simulate the hand movements they will need to defuse a real bomb.“There are elements one can face in a tunnel which are difficult to reproduce,” such as humidity, says the commander, but it serves as a good introduction to the subject.“It’s not very nice to be dozens of meters underground, cut off from the world,” says T. “Anything that can help you prepare is important.He says that the electronic training has made him “more ready to enter a tunnel” in real life.Not far from the “VR room” is a physical mock-up of a Hamas tunnel where soldiers can engage in combat exercises, polishing what they have learnt through VR.Three soldiers make their way inside, their faces covered with balaclavas, machine guns in their hands as they move through the rock passageway, narrow and dark.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Economics Macroeconomics-IMF Special Drawing Rights-By Adam Hayes-Updated Jun 25, 2019

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was founded in 1945 as part of the Bretton Woods system agreement a year earlier. The goal of the IMF is to foster macroeconomic stability and global growth and to reduce poverty around the world. Interestingly, economist John Maynard Keynes first proposed a supranational currency known as "Bancor" at the Bretton Woods conference, but his proposal was rejected. Instead, the IMF adopted a system of pegged exchange rates tied to the value of gold bullion. At the time, the world reserve assets were the US Dollar and gold. However, there was not enough supply of these internationally to keep sufficient reserves for the IMF to function properly. In order to fulfill its mandate, in 1969 the IMF created Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs as a supplement to help fund its stabilization efforts.By 1973, the original Bretton Woods system had been almost completely abandoned. President Nixon restricted gold outflows from the United States, and major currencies shifted from a pegged system to a floating exchange rate regime. Still, the SDR system has been largely successful, with the IMF allocating approximately SDR 183 Billion, providing needed liquidity and credit to the global financial system.Why SDRs Are Needed-According to the IMF, SDRs (or XDR) are an international reserve asset to supplement its member countries' official money reserves. Technically, the SDR is neither a currency nor a claim on the IMF itself. Instead, it is a potential claim against the currencies of IMF members.An SDR allocation is a low-cost method of adding to member nations' international reserves, allowing members to reduce their reliance on more expensive domestic or external debt. Developing nations can use SDRs as a cost-free alternative to accumulating foreign currency reserves through more expensive means, such as borrowing or running current account surpluses.The SDR is also used by some international organizations as a unit of account where exchange rate volatility would be too extreme. Such organizations include the African Development Bank, Arab Monetary Fund, Bank for International Settlements, and the Islamic Development Bank. By using SDRs, local currency fluctuations do not have as large of an impact. SDRs can only be held by IMF member countries and not by individuals, investment companies, or corporations.As of the year 2000, four countries peg their currency to the value of an SDR, even though the IMF discourages such action.The Value of the SDR-The value of an SDR was initially the equivalent of one US Dollar at the time or 0.88671 grams of gold. When the gold standard changed over to a floating currency system, the SDR instead became valued as a basket of world reserve currencies. Currently, this basket includes the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, and British Pound.Every five years, the IMF reviews the components of the currency basket to make sure that its holdings represent the most widely used global currencies. It is possible that when the next review takes place in 2015, more currencies may be considered than the current four. Recent speculation that the IMF might add the Chinese yuan (CNY) would make it the first emerging currency to be added to the IMF's reserves.The SDR's interest rate is used for calculating interest due from members of IMF loans paid from SDR holdings. SDRs are allocated by the IMF to its member countries and are backed by the full faith and credit of the member countries' governments.Today, 1 SDR = 1.3873 US dollars, down a little more than 10% over the past 12 months versus the dollar, a result of the relative strengthening of the dollar against the three other currencies in the SDR basket.The Bottom Line-Special drawing rights are a world reserve asset whose value is based on a basket of four major international currencies. SDRs are used by the IMF to make emergency loans and are used by developing nations to shore up their currency reserves without the need to borrow at high-interest rates or run current account surpluses at the detriment of economic growth. While SDRs themselves are not currencies, and can only be accessed by members of the IMF, they play a crucial role in maintaining macroeconomic stability and global growth by providing emergency liquidity and credit when traditional methods fall short.

Will Australia go cashless by 2022?-BAMBORA OPINION-17 January 2018-Victoria Galloway

In late 2016, when Denmark decided that it would no longer print banknotes and proceeded to shut down its last mint, the country silently announced to the world that consumers are well on their way to embracing cashless transactions.Look around the world and the picture isn’t too different. Nearly 50% of Americans carry less than US$20 physical cash in their wallets and 9% said they’ve entirely stopped carrying cash. Just across the Atlantic, in the UK, people step out with less than £5 cash every day, says a Mastercard study.Closer to home, in Australia, we might not be ready to bring our mints to a grinding halt just yet but Australians are steadily driving a fundamental shift to a cashless economy.The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has proof. Payment data released by the country’s top financial institution shows that in 2017 ATM cash withdrawals plunged to their lowest level in 15 years. In Australia, in the past nine years alone, the share of cash in consumer payments has tumbled down to 39% from a substantial 70%.As a business owner, here’s another thought to chew on. Nearly 90% of Australians will regard your business negatively if you accept only cash as a means of payment, reveals a study commissioned by MasterCard.We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: online payments are the future! How Close are We to a Cashless Australia?-Worldwide, cash payments still represent the bulk of retail transactions. MasterCard puts this figure at 85%. However, as the world economy evolves, the conventional doesn’t always prove to be convenient. Where cash is risky to hold and reduces transparency in transactions, electronic payments promote financial inclusion and boost economic growth.Australian consumers seem to concur.In fact, nearly 80% of Australians expect that smartphone payments will become the norm by 2022, the Westpac Cash Free Report tells us. This is not entirely surprising considering that 53% of all consumer payments in Australia are cashless already.In other words, alternative payment technologies such as digital wallets (read Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay), tap-and-go, contactless payments, and wearables are no longer the disruptive--but distant--options they were earlier regarded as.As a merchant, you have likely seen this change take shape as consumers demand payment options beyond just cash and credit cards. If you haven’t, then the launch of the New Payments Platform (NPP) will change the status quo.Will the NPP Spell the End of Cash Payments?-For the uninitiated, the NPP is a collaborative venture of the RBA and a group of financial companies that will make payments convenient by:Allowing consumers, businesses and the government to transfer money in real-time even between different banks Enabling money transfers using just the payee’s mobile number or email address or ABN number in the case of a business entity Being available 24/7, even on weekends and holidays. This means that when the NPP swings into effect on Australia Day, businesses will get paid in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. This will consequently help improve cash flow and faster account reconcilement for your business. With the simplification of linking identifiers such as mobile numbers and ABNs, glitches associated with consumers entering wrong bank account details are expected to be reduced as well. No matter how you look at it, the bottomline is that from buying a car to paying for their morning cuppa, consumers will soon need almost no cash to go about their everyday activities.If not Cash, then What? It’s official: cash is no longer the dominant retail payment method in Australia. ATM queues are all but disappearing too. RBA data shows that the value and volume of ATM withdrawals has dipped by over 6% for two consecutive years.Counterbalancing this trend is the growing popularity of alternative payment methods such as debit and credit cards. As a country that boasts among the highest penetrations of PoS devices (39,337 devices per million people) worldwide, the soaring use of plastic money in Australia comes as no surprise.Add digital wallets, wearable devices such as Apple Watch, and contactless payment tokens to the mix and it’s easy to see why cash is losing the payments battle. What’s more, with over 84% Australians carrying a smartphone, the time is ripe for merchants to prepare for digital payments on an unprecedented scale.What Cash-free Customers Mean for Australian Businesses-As consumers increasingly abandon cash for digital payments, businesses will have to keep pace.According to a recent report, Australian businesses received 46% less cash payments in 2016 than in 2010. At this rate, cash receivables will form less than 5% of all payments by 2019 for most businesses. At the same time, consumers eagerly switching to online shopping have pushed online retail sales beyond the $20-billion mark in a new record in 2016, says the National Australian Bank.For businesses like yours, the only way ahead is to integrate online and alternative payment methods more seamlessly in the grand scheme of things. This means being on top of the latest digital payment trends, from smart checkout design to secure payment processing.Regardless of whether you’re taking your first steps in the world of digital payments or taking your online payments journey to the next level, Bambora can help. Just get in touch and we will get right back to you.

On the need of a democratic global government-Jo Leinen & Andreas Bummel-04. May 2019 Global Order | Opinion

This essay was originally published in the May 2019 edition of Cadmus, the journal of the World Academy of Arts and Science. if we do not manage to create a global government. This proposition may seem out of place at a time of rising international tensions, nuclear instability, nationalist populism and so-called identity politics which fuel a crisis of multilateralism. Yet, instead of contradicting the idea, these and many other problems are strongly rooted in the fact that no global government exists.Human civilization may not survive-One of the key challenges of modern cultural evolution is the time lag between rapid technological development and slow political adaptation. The United Nations that represents the best governance model humanity could come up with for the management of global affairs is now frozen in time. Its underlying principle of national sovereignty goes back to 1648, a hundred years before the industrial revolution even started. Yet, today we live in the 21st century, the world population is approaching eight billion and technological development continues to accelerate. The need for global governance to catch up with the accelerating pace of change is more urgent than ever before.Addressing environmental threats-Humanity now shares a common destiny. Whether they like it or not, all people are now linked together in a shared civilization which reaches around the entire Earth. The dangers posed by nuclear war, global pandemics, environmental devastation, biodiversity loss or climate change affect everybody. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere knows no borders.The human impact on global public goods such as the atmosphere must be regulated so that planetary limits are not transgressed and the stability of earth’s ecosystem is not jeopardized. Furthermore, the supply of important public goods like food security or the stability of the financial and economic system depends on how well global structures are working. Regulating research and development in fields such as artificial intelligence, genetics, biotechnology or autonomous weapons must be on the global agenda. Based on the collaboration of 193 nominally sovereign states, global regulation will never work well. Hence the need to move to a model of global government that transcends the boundaries of the nation-state.Transcending the nation-state-States can freely decide whether to join or not to join an intergovernmental treaty. There is no way to determine global rules except through inter-state negotiations. The more ‘states’ participate, the more difficult it is to achieve results. As compromises must be reached, the content of treaties often merely represents the lowest common denominator of state parties. In this process, the primary purpose of governments is to pursue what they believe is in the national self-interest. There is no body that represents the interest of the world community at large. Even if a treaty is concluded and ratified, a state can withdraw again. The international order recognizes no higher authority for decision or enforcement. All in all, the international order lacks many of the hallmarks that characterize a functioning legal system, which we take for granted domestically.Socioeconomic development and political action are no longer connected. The forces of acceleration have globalised and compel the states, in a self-reinforcing dynamic, to push forward their own erosion. Cash flows and commercial entities have no loyalty to any nation-states. Processes of product development and manufacturing are globally networked. A transnational elite has emerged consisting of the owners and top management of transnational corporations, both supported by high-level officials, politicians, scientists, and media representatives who are ready to pursue common economic interests in an environment of weak regulation and poor political processes. The concentration of wealth and global inequality has reached unprecedented levels. The gap between productivity and worker’s wages is increasing dramatically.We are witnessing the emergence of global social strata that are giving rise to vertical social tensions. The dividing line will no longer be between rich and poor countries but between the super-rich and the rest everywhere. The transnational elite exercises a powerful influence. They can play national governments against each other, if need be. National governments face serious limitations to resist the race to the bottom. In former times the creation of powerful nation-states was often driven top-down by the elites. Notions of a global conspiracy to set up a global government are far off the mark. Today, the elite uses the inter-state system to their benefit and actually resists the emergence of a global government that could constrain their actions.In fiscal policy, for instance, multinational corporations and the super-rich are able to avoid paying taxes using loopholes and weaknesses in the international taxation system. Corporate taxation rates and tax revenues continue to fall. This contributes to rising inequality, higher relative taxation of the middle classes, and social tension. Paradoxically, these problems are exacerbated by the nationalist policies they fuel. In the United States, for instance, the nominal corporate tax rate was drastically reduced after the election of Donald Trump.Efforts to combat this trend in the framework of traditional intergovernmental collaboration have proven ineffective. A Tobin Tax on currency transactions or a progressive global tax on billionaire capital will not work with a piecemeal approach. However, these taxes could provide funding for social welfare measures like a global social protection floor or a global basic income.Current challenges and pitfalls of the system-Citizenship is connected to individual states and thus citizen rights are exclusive. The promise of the global village is only valid for the rich. In many countries, they can even buy national passports. The carbon footprint of those well off is disproportionally higher than that of the poor. At the same time, the age of Westphalian territoriality has not ended for those at the bottom. Free movement is not for them. Quite the contrary. The planet has never before seen more border fences and walls separating states. In fact, the system of nation-states helps contain populations within state borders, allows to play out workers against each other and to exploit illegal immigrants.Economic, cultural and social insecurity seems to be a common contributor to nationalist populism as well as illiberal and antidemocratic sentiments. As global forces become more influential, democratic institutions of the nation-state are hollowed out, and people, justifiably, lose trust in leaders’ capacity to represent their interests. Even if all the countries in the world were perfect democracies, they still wouldn’t be in a much better position to steer globalization into the right direction.The security dilemma, according to which states are pushing each other, in a spiral dynamic, into military spending, research and armament, is inherent in the Westphalian system and strong economic interests are at play to keep it that way. Just as fossil fuel industries and their owners resist decarbonization of the economy, the military-industrial complex resists global pacification. They do not necessarily need war. Military equipment that is developed and produced at high cost does not even need to function properly. But what they do need is the mere possibility of war and a permanent feeling of insecurity. The opportunity costs are massive.War between nuclear armed adversaries is potentially suicidal as it may lead to mutual destruction. As large-scale conventional conflict can spiral out of control, it’s not an option that can seriously be considered in the power rivalries between nuclear states. It still may happen intentionally or by accident. Even a limited nuclear war would have a devastating impact on today’s complex world system.After the invention and deployment of the atomic bomb, many nuclear scientists argued after the Second World War that a world government establishing a system of collective security with a monopoly on the use of force was needed in order to control nuclear technology and to prevent a nuclear Third World War.The possibility to strike any state at any time anywhere with a nuclear bomb or conventional missiles has made traditional concepts of sovereignty anachronistic since states, even in theory, can no longer control the use of violence on their territory and potentially can be wiped out. Ensuring a world free of nuclear weapons remains a key argument in favor of a global government.Once, the internet was expected to be a driver for democratic change and global understanding. Yes, it helped spark democratic revolutions. But it also provides the means for unprecedented state surveillance and systematic control of citizens. In Myanmar, social media was used to incite genocidal violence and it is used by authoritarian states to project their influence. China’s ‘Great Firewall’ shows what governments can do to cut their population off from free global information flows.Moving towards political equality-The fundamental values that underpin the arguments for a global government remain as valid as ever. The idea of humanity’s unity can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy, the Hindu Upanishads, Tamil Sangam literature, Confucian teaching or the ancient Chinese concept of Tianxia. It is the realization of the equal value of every human being and that all humans need to respect and treat each other accordingly, which is at the core of cosmopolitanism and global citizenship. Morality that is exclusionary because it is only accepted as valid for a certain group is no morality at all. In a coherent ethical system that is based on equality, the same standards must be applied to everyone.This was already understood at the time of the French Revolution. For a short period, the French Revolution had a cosmopolitan moment. Liberty, equality and fraternity were ideas not limited to a French nation that didn’t even yet exist. It was not obvious why the sovereignty of the feudal rulers should be transferred to individual states. At the time, Anacharsis Cloots promoted the indivisible sovereignty of humanity and a universal world republic.While a world republic would unite humanity as a whole, the constituent subjects are individual persons and the starting point is to respect and protect their human rights as global citizens. Recognizing the equal right of every human being means that all need to have an equal opportunity in shaping the political affairs that affect them all. It follows that a directly elected world parliament needs to stand at the centre of the world republic. At some point this representative body may be complemented by means of electronic direct democracy open to all world citizens.A world parliament needs to stand at the centre of the world republic-Setting up a world republic with a global government does not mean that separate units would disappear. On the contrary, it would be a federal system of multilevel government. States represent an indispensable level of government and decision-making. Following the principle of subsidiarity, functions and powers would be dispersed vertically between the different levels of government from the local to the global and always at the lowest level possible. In some cases subcontinental or continental levels of government that lie between the national and global levels may take over responsibilities, too. In addition, states can carry out administrative responsibilities on behalf of the world federation, thus avoiding the creation of a large central bureaucracy.While the world republic would determine the rules governing the legitimate use of force, it wouldn’t have the factual monopoly as certain military and police capabilities would be dispersed following federalist principles. In a system of global fiscal federalism, the power of taxation would also be divided across different levels. A federal world republic and a system of multilevel government would bring about a new understanding of sovereignty. No one has a right to unlimited self-determination or to the unlimited exercise of power, or indeed the capacity for either. All states, institutions, bodies and actors are in one way or another accountable to others and bound up with them. None is sovereign over the others in the classical sense, or can act or be allowed to act as if they were. Sovereignty is always limited. In this sense, the term may be continued to be used to describe core competencies of the respective levels of government.Democratic participation and representation of citizens as well as the rule of law, separation of powers, checks and balances and the protection of minority rights would have to be implemented at all levels. A world republic structured along those lines would put the world’s citizens in political control and counterbalance the influence of the transnational elite. This structure will help to protect diversity, pluralism, group identities, traditions and minorities in individual states and across states.Converting ideas into actionThe creation of a world republic means a transition from today’s system of international law to world law. The global government envisaged here may be the result of a consolidation of today’s system of global governance into a coherent framework based on a world constitution as proposed in this paper. The legislative branch could be composed of a World Parliamentary Assembly elected by the world’s citizens (similar to a House of Representatives) and a General Assembly as representation of member states (similar to a Senate). On matters of global concern and based on the principle of subsidiarity, this world legislature would be empowered to adopt framework legislation that needs to be transposed into national law and global regulations with direct and immediate applicability. Today’s Security Council could be replaced by a Joint Security Committee set up by the two legislative bodies.Pro democracy protests in Hong Kong, 2014. (source) Authoritarian regimes are the biggest obstacleThe UN’s secretariat and the administrative structure of the UN system can be transformed into a World Commission, acting as an executive branch with cabinet functions. A reformed International Court of Justice can be made responsible to oversee the World Commission, and to ensure that global legislation is in accordance with fundamental human rights and equally applied across member states. Legally it will be necessary to amend the UN Charter and numerous intergovernmental treaties. The goal may be to draft one Comprehensive Reform Treaty that would include all necessary provisions to change all treaties concerned. Proposals to convene a Charter Review conference or a global constitutional convention have existed for a long time.We must be ready when a window of opportunity opens-Authoritarian government regimes represent the biggest obstacle as they oppose any democratic self-determination of their citizens and the advancement of democracy in the world. But it is not only them. Most governments, even if they are democracies, will only take action if they feel that it is very popular. While many people indeed recognize their identity as citizens of the world, others are turning to the myth of nationalism and reject global cooperation, let alone global government. What is more, immediate day-to-day issues divert attention from the need of solving the world’s structural problem. Finally, a democratic global legal order, with a constitution, a clear structure and division of powers, clear rules and democratic decision-making processes, is something that much of the transnational elite will consider to be adverse to their interests.We do not know when the right moment will come. However, there have been many surprises in history that even the best experts did not foresee. That’s why we need to rally behind a bold vision for our common future on this planet and must be ready when a window of opportunity opens.Jo Leinen is a Member of the European Parliament.

PROOF HALF ON EARTH DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD (8 BILLION ON EARTH)

ISAIAH 66:15-16
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire,(NUKES) and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

ISAIAH 26:21
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:(GOD/ISRAEL HATE AND BRAKING OF HIS COMMANDMENTS) the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.(WW3,1/2 earths population die - 4 BILLION).

ISAIAH 13:6-13 KJV
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(FROM FRIGHT)
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

REVELATION 6:7-8 (8 BILLION- 2 BILLION = 6 BILLION)
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:(CHLORES GREEN) and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)

LUKE 17:34-37 (8 TOTAL BILLION - 4 BILLION DEAD IN TRIB = 4 BILLION TO JESUS KINGDOM) (HALF DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS)(GOD DOES NOT LIE)(AND NOTICE MOST DIE IN WAR AND DISEASES-NOT COMETS-ASTEROIDS-QUAKES OR TSUNAMIS)

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

'If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first'-Netanyahu: States hosting Iranian attacks on Israel will ‘bear the consequences’Touring Golan with IDF chief, PM vows to ‘expose every Iranian attempt to attack us,’ praises army’s ‘perfect’ work in foiling Iranian drone plot-By TOI staff-AUG 25,19

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday warned neighboring countries that they would be held accountable for any attacks against the Jewish state emanating from their territory, hours after Israel carried out airstrikes in Syria to foil an Iranian drone attack.“We won’t tolerate attacks on Israel from any country in the area. Any country that allows its territory to be used for attacks against Israel will bear the consequences. I stress: The state will bear the consequences,” Netanyahu, who is also defense minister, said during a tour of the Golan Heights with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi.Hours earlier, the IDF said the attack drones that Iran intended to use against Israel on Saturday night were flown into Syria from Tehran several weeks ago, along with Iranian military officials to act as advisers. The plan was personally overseen by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, the IDF chief of staff said.The statement by the military came as the death toll in the Israeli raids on Saturday night climbed to five, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor.“If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first,” Netanyahu said during the tour of northern Israel, quoting a Talmudic saying in a statement to the press.“We have exposed that Iran’s Quds Force sent a special unit of Shiite operatives to Syria to kill Israelis in the Golan [Heights] using explosive drones,” the prime minister said. Thanks to the IDF’s “perfect” operative and intelligence work, Netanyahu boasted, Israel was able to preempt the Iranian attack plans.“We will expose every Iranian attempt to attack us and every attempt it makes to hide behind one excuse or another,” he said.According to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, four members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s Quds Force were sent to Syria to form a team that would fly explosive-laden kamikaze drones into targets in northern Israel.Conricus said the military had been monitoring the Iranian plot for “a number of weeks.”When the IDF spotted the Iran-led team — made up of the four IRGC advisers and Shiite militiamen — moving to launch the drones on Saturday night, the Israeli Air Force took action and bombed their base.A satellite image distributed by Israeli private intelligence firm ImageSat International showed that the compound had been completely destroyed.Conricus said forces had been put on high alert near the Syrian frontier after the attack.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said an Iranian combatant and two fighters for the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah were among the fatalities in the strike, along with at least two others whose identities are not yet known.The late-night airstrike, which triggered Syrian anti-aircraft fire, appeared to be one of the most intense attacks by Israeli forces on Iranian targets in Syria.Kohavi said earlier on Sunday that Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani personally orchestrated the Iranian plan.“The person who led this attack and commanded it was Qassem Soleimani personally. He funded, coached and trained Shiite operatives, who were supposed to carry it out,” Kohavi said in a video of a meeting in the IDF Northern Command late Saturday night, released by the military.The army chief warned that the military must “prepare for any eventuality,” as Iran may retaliate for the Israeli strikes.“We will [prepare] in the best way possible,” he said.There have been few direct clashes between Israel and Iran in Syria. In May 2018, Israel said Iranian forces fired some 20 rockets at Israel, with most being shot down or failing to reach Israeli territory. In response, Israel carried out extensive airstrikes on Iranian positions in Syria.While Israel has acknowledged carrying out thousands of airstrikes inside Syria against weapons transfers to Iran-backed fighters and to keep Iran from gaining a foothold there, it rarely acknowledges individual strikes.The ambiguity is part of a strategy seen as helping give Tehran and Damascus cover from needing to strike back to save face. Israel has appeared to apply the same strategy in Iraq, where the IDF has been reported to have carried out a number of strikes on Iran-backed militia positions near Baghdad.Judah Ari Gross and agencies contributed to this report.

Pompeo powwows with Netanyahu on Iran, backs Israel’s preemptive raid-Top US diplomat and PM discuss Tehran’s entrenchment in Syria as tensions soar across Middle East-By TOI staff-AUG 25,19

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about Israel’s latest strikes in Syria, the top US diplomat’s office said on Sunday.“The secretary expressed support for Israel’s right to defend itself against threats posed by the Iranian [Islamic] Revolutionary Guard Corps and to take action to prevent imminent attacks against Israeli assets in the region,” Pompeo’s office said in a statement.“The secretary and the prime minister discussed how Iran is leveraging its foothold in Syria to threaten Israel and its neighbors. The prime minister noted that Israel would strike IRGC targets threatening Israel, wherever they are located,” the statement said.The talk came as tensions between Tehran and Jerusalem spiraled on multiple fronts over the past 24 hours, with airstrikes targeting Iranian-linked forces in multiple countries attributed to Israel; a mysterious drone explosion outside the media headquarters of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Beirut; a war of words between Israeli officials and terror chief Hassan Nasrallah; and rockets lobbed at Israel from the Gaza Strip, where the main terror groups are supported by Tehran.Late Saturday night, the Israeli Air Force bombed a compound in central Syria that the IDF said was used by pro-Iranian fighters as their base of operations, after they tried to launch attack drones laden with explosives at Israel. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said an Iranian combatant and two fighters for the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah were among the fatalities in the strike, along with at least two others whose identities are not yet known.The late-night Israeli airstrike, which triggered Syrian anti-aircraft fire, appeared to be one of the most intense attacks by Israeli forces on Iranian targets in Syria.On Sunday, the IDF said the attack drones that Iran intended to use against Israel  were flown into Syria from Tehran several weeks ago, along with Iranian military officials to act as advisers. The plan was personally overseen by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force commander Soleimani, the IDF chief of staff said.The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday released footage of what it said was a failed attempt by pro-Iranian operatives to launch an explosives-laden drone into northern Israel from Syria last Thursday.A spokesman for the Hezbollah terror group said Sunday morning that an armed Israeli drone exploded outside the organization’s propaganda offices in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, causing damage to the structure. Analysts later said that the drone was likely Iranian in origin.On Sunday night, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah threatened Israel, saying: “From tonight, I tell the Israeli army on the border, be prepared and wait for us,” while taunting that a retaliation could come in “one day, two days, three days” and so forth.Netanyahu on Sunday warned neighboring countries that they would be held accountable for any attacks against the Jewish state emanating from their territory.“We won’t tolerate attacks on Israel from any country in the area. Any country that allows its territory to be used for attacks against Israel will bear the consequences. I stress: The state will bear the consequences,” Netanyahu, who is also defense minister, said during a tour of the Golan Heights with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi.In a separate airstrike on Sunday, several members of a pro-Iranian Iraqi militia, including a field commander, were killed by an unidentified drone along the Iraq-Syria border, according to Arabic media reports. The group accused Israel of carrying out the deadly raid.Meanwhile, three rockets were fired at southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Sunday night, sending thousands of residents rushing to bomb shelters. Israel on Thursday blamed the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad for the recent increase in violence emanating from Gaza.There have been few direct clashes between Israel and Iran in Syria. In May 2018, Israel said Iranian forces fired some 20 rockets at Israel, with most being shot down or failing to reach Israeli territory. In response, Israel carried out extensive airstrikes on Iranian positions in Syria.While Israel has acknowledged carrying out thousands of airstrikes inside Syria against weapons transfers to Iran-backed fighters and to keep Iran from gaining a foothold there, it rarely acknowledges individual strikes.The ambiguity is part of a strategy seen as helping give Tehran and Damascus cover from needing to strike back to save face. Israel has appeared to apply the same strategy in Iraq, where the IDF has been reported to have carried out a number of strikes on Iran-backed militia positions near Baghdad.

Nasrallah threatens revenge for Israeli raids, but how and where can he deliver?-Hezbollah leader specified that response will come from Lebanese territory, but even the Shi’ites there want to avoid dragging the country into war-By Avi Issacharoff-AUG 25,19

Hassan Nasrallah’s speech on Sunday evening — delivered, naturally, via video screen — began in relatively moderate tones. The Hezbollah leader opened by praising his audience, at what was a preplanned event marking two years since a major Hezbollah victory over Islamic State, and described the gathering as a first response to Zionist aggression. From Nasrallah’s initial remarks, one might have thought that he had changed his spots, and intended to focus on internal Lebanese issues: He talked about corruption in Lebanon, and on Hezbollah’s achievements in the battles against IS.But toward the end of his speech, the more familiar Nasrallah appeared — the Nasrallah who has made a profession out of threatening Israel.Nasrallah swore before all who heard him, and especially before the Shi’ite community, that a Hezbollah response to that latest Zionist aggression would most surely come. He said that two Hezbollah fighters had been killed in the Israeli strikes south of Damascus late Saturday night — when Israel preempted what it says was an Iranian-orchestrated attack on Israeli civilian and military targets by “killer drones” — and specified that his organization would respond from Lebanese territory and not from Syria.He also referred to the drones that fell in the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut and claimed this was an Israeli attack on a Hezbollah target — the first attack of its kind, he claimed, since 2006. The era in which Israel bombs Lebanon with impunity was over, he declared.The fact that Nasrallah went into such specifics leaves no room for doubt that Hezbollah intends to respond to the series of recent strikes in Syria, Lebanon, and possibly even Iraq; a fresh drone strike on Shi’ite militiamen in Iraq was being reported even as he spoke. The question is when, where and how exactly will Hezbollah respond? It is reasonable to assume that neither Hezbollah nor Iran wishes to prompt all-out war with Israel, but rather to bolster their deterrent capability and require Israel to weigh afresh its policy of attacking targets in Syria and Iraq.Does that mean Israel can now expect rocket fire from across the northern border. Probably not. It may be that Hezbollah will try to strike an Israeli target via a drone, or open fire at IDF forces as it did after the assassination of the Hezbollah commander Jihad Mughniyeh in January 2015. Another possibility is a “classic” Hezbollah response: the bombing of an Israeli or Jewish target somewhere overseas. Except that Nasrallah specified that the response against Israel would come from Lebanon.Can he really carry out his threats? It’s hard to say. There is certainly profound motivation to prove to the Shi’ite public, the Lebanese public, and indeed, the Israeli public that his threats are credible.Yet the situation is not simple for the Hezbollah secretary-general. He well knows that he needs to take particular care right now because nobody in Lebanon wants a war, and that even goes for the Shi’ite community.This reality was clear on Sunday, which saw criticism within Lebanon of Hezbollah. There is nothing new about this: Many key bodies and communities that are active in the state are unhappy, to put it mildly, with the activities of the Shi’ite organization. Nonetheless, the fact that Hezbollah was criticized within hours of its claims that Israel had attacked its media headquarters in Beirut is significant.Less than 12 hours after Hezbollah began wailing about the attack and accusing Israel of responsibility, various forces in Lebanon clearly recognized that a Hezbollah response risks pushing the two sides to war. Among those taking aim at Hezbollah was the Lebanese Forces political party, established from the remnants of the famous militia that Bashar Gemayal established in Lebanon in the 1970s during the Lebanese civil war.Lebanese Forces is affiliated with the country’s Christians and is considered one of the prime opponents of Hezbollah. In a statement Sunday, the party warned against the repercussions of security and military decisions that were being taken against the interests of the state — in other words that Lebanon should not let Hezbollah and Iran determine its future. The party even called on the government of Prime Minister Saad Hariri to discuss the significance of decisions taken outside Lebanon’s borders.Hariri hurried in the immediate aftermath of the latest Israeli and alleged Israeli strikes to adopt Hezbollah’s narrative and condemned the Israeli aggression and the ostensible breach of UN Security Council Resolutions 1701. But several hours later, Hariri telephoned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the two discussed “ways to calm the situation.”That is to say that Hariri, and possibly even Lebanese President Michel Aoun, an ally of Hezbollah, would not wish to see a major escalation right now. They certainly would not wish to see Iranian-backed efforts to attack Israel from Lebanese territory.

Israel blamed as deaths reported in airstrike on pro-Iran Iraqi militia-Drone reportedly targets convoy of Iraqi Shiite militia, killing field commander, amid spiraling tensions between Jerusalem and Tehran-By Judah Ari Gross and Agencies-TOI-AUG 25,19

At least one member of a pro-Iranian Iraqi militia was killed in an airstrike by an unidentified drone along the Iraq-Syria border on Sunday, in a raid later blamed on Israel.The Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen news site reported that the strike  in the al-Qaim region of Iraq, an area that is home to a number of pro-Iranian militia groups, was carried out by Israel.The Israeli military refused to comment on the matter.According to the Lebanese outlet, the casualties were members of the 45th Brigade of the Popular Mobilization Forces, an umbrella group of militias that fight alongside the Iraqi military. The 45th Brigade is specifically affiliated with Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iraqi organization loosely connected to the Lebanese Hezbollah.Two officials from the group confirmed the attack and said the vehicles were being used to transport weapons. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists about the matter.“An unidentified drone targets two cars belonging to the Popular Mobilization Forces’ 45th Brigade in al-Qaim in the border region between Syria and Iraq,” according to Al-Mayadeen.Al-Jazeera reported that six people were killed in the drone strike, while the PMF confirmed that one fighter was killed and another heavily wounded, revising an earlier toll of two dead.A military source from Kataib Hezbollah told AFP that one of the dead, Abu Ali al-Dabi, was a member of the unit’s rocket squad.“He fought in Syria and was previously detained by the Americans,” the source said.Iraq’s PMF accused Israel of a deadly drone attack on Sunday, the first time they directly blamed the Jewish state after a series of blasts hit bases run by the paramilitary force.“As part of the string of Zionist attacks on Iraq, the evil Israeli crows have returned to target the Hashed al-Shaabi [PMF], this time with two drones inside Iraqi territory,” the statement said.A number of PMF bases have been targeted in recent weeks in strikes attributed to the Israeli military, apparently as part of Jerusalem’s campaign to prevent Iranian military entrenchment in the region.On Saturday night, the Israel Defense Forces conducted airstrikes in Syria to thwart a plan by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, working with allied local Shiite militias, to send a number of “killer drones” into Israel to attack targets in the north of the country, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said.Israeli forces in the north have been put on high alert, amid fears of a reprisal attack.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held emergency meetings with defense officials overnight and on Sunday amid the heightened tensions.“We won’t tolerate attacks on Israel from any country in the area. Any country that allows its territory to be used for attacks against Israel will bear the consequences. I stress: The state will bear the consequences,” Netanyahu, who is also defense minister, said Sunday, during a tour of the Golan Heights with IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi.
