Missiles Rain Down On Northern Israel In Large Hezbollah 'Revenge' Operation
Northern Israel has come under heavy attack from Hezbollah on Saturday, after this past week a full-scale war has resumed in southern Lebanon, which even saw the resumption of Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, much further to the north.
Even while Tel Aviv maintains the illusion of a ceasefire with Lebanon (as in, its government and national army), there is no ceasefire with Iran-linked Hezbollah, following weeks of sporadic drones being sent on northern Israel, as well as troop positions of invading IDF forces.
The Saturday drone and missile waves hit multiple locations in and around the Galilee area, with regional media reporting that at least eight missiles were launched at Israeli positions in the initial salvo, one of which struck a site in Kiryat Shmona city.
Hezbollah subsequently announced it had carried out 22 military operations against Israeli army positions and equipment within the prior 24 hours. It framed this as a revenge operation for Israeli attacks on civilian centers in Lebanon.
Times of Israel has cited IDF statements saying Israel is bracing for more attacks out of Lebanon. "Hezbollah launched several rockets from Lebanon at the Western Galilee a short while ago," it said in a late in the day Saturday (local time) update. "The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted and others struck open areas, causing no injuries."
Sirens across several towns and cities were activated, and there were scenes of coastal locales being impacted, with throngs of people scrambling for bomb shelters.
Starting early last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that he instructed his military to "press the pedal even harder" against Hezbollah, reportedly upon a greenlight being given by Washington, following increased drone attacks from the Shia paramilitary group backed by Iran on northern Israel.

— כל החדשות בזמן אמת (@Saher_News_24_7) May 30, 2026"We are at war with Hezbollah. Just in recent weeks, our brave fighters have eliminated more than 600 terrorists," Netanyahu announced in video statement. "But we are not taking our foot off the gas. On the contrary, I have instructed them to press the pedal even harder."
"We will strike them. Yes, they are attacking us with drones, cyber-enabled drones, and we have a special team working on this — and we will solve that too…But what this requires from us now is to intensify the blows, increase the force. We will strike them decisively," the Israeli leader said.
Tyler Durden Sat, 05/30/2026 - 15:45X Cracks Down On Large "Creator" Accounts Built On Stolen Content
The saturation of large X accounts built almost entirely on recycled video clips has become impossible to ignore. Many of these accounts brand themselves as "creators," but they merely lift original reporting, strip attribution, repackage it, and monetize engagement as if the content were their own.
Elon Musk and X product head Nikita Bier have zeroed in on this issue. X is now demonetizing repeat offenders while redirecting impressions and revenue to true originators. For genuine creators producing original reporting, analysis, and commentary, it's a long-overdue reset.
Disclose.tv Gets the HammerThe latest high-profile casualty is Disclose.tv (nearly 2 million followers). The account allegedly lifted spaceflight reporter Adam Bernstein's dramatic video of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploding on the launchpad, cropped the watermark, and reposted it for engagement.
Bernstein called them out: "This video was shot by me as part of my coverage for @SpaceflightNow. It appears you have removed our watermark - please credit us properly."
Bier jumped in, praising the original footage and confirming the penalty: "Great video - sorry this happened. Creator has been deactivated from monetization for cropping out attribution."
Mario Nawfal's Revenue Slash and the Musk UnfollowJust days earlier, Bier publicly warned serial aggregator Mario Nawfal after he reuploaded an ABC News clip instead of using proper Quote or Video Reshare: "Please do not reupload the author’s video: use Quote or Video Reshare. Your revenue was reduced by 90% last cycle and we’re running out of room to reduce it more."
Please do not reupload the author’s video: use Quote or Video Reshare.
Your revenue was reduced by 90% last cycle and we’re running out of room to reduce it more.
Elon Musk unfollowed Nawfal shortly after, sparking widespread speculation.
🚫 @elonmusk is no longer following @MarioNawfal
— Big Tech Alert (@BigTechAlert) May 26, 2026 Massimo FracasOne of the most dramatic spats involved popular science curator Massimo (@Rainmaker1973), who has 4.3 million followers. Bier dropped the hammer with receipts:
After sourcing 2759 videos from @ViralRushX over the last 6 months, you're now circumventing attribution by simply cropping out his watermark?
You cannot get more shameless than this. This is your last day in the creator program.
Rainmaker1973 (Massimo) fired back - accusing Bier of unfair treatment, defending watermark cropping as standard practice, claiming selective enforcement, and alleging bullying via Community Notes and deboosting. He announced shifting to a subscriber/donation model and hinted at potentially deleting the account, framing himself as a victim of "abuse of power" and "public execution."
The exchange lit up X with heated replies, hypocrisy callouts (noting ViralRushX also aggregates from elsewhere), and memes celebrating the "public execution."
Broader Sweep and Burner SchemesOther accounts hit include @bpthaber (~1.6M followers) for alleged burner/shield tactics — using secondary accounts to post stolen videos stamped with the main brand to dodge detection. Bier's team is now actively detecting programmatic re-uploads, watermark stripping, and impression hijacking at scale.
Another 𝕏 Creator Demonetized.
The 1.6 million-follower account @bpthaber just went up in flames.
Reason?
Using his “Alt account” to take another creator’s video, stamp their own watermark on it, and post it.
Then his main account will repost that video to make it appear as organic content.
This is the 2nd post I made about demonetization today.
How many more are we going to see?
I swear, people will do everything except create their own content.
Jason Calacanis summed up the originals' frustration: "The crazy part, is these accounts are getting paid to steal peoples content - which will make ABC give up on the platform eventually."
These very public spats highlight X's aggressive pivot: rewarding originality over volume and manipulation to clean up the platform, boost trust, improve timeline quality, and attract more substantive journalism.
