Venstrefløjen forhindrer muligheder og udvikling igen og igen.
Vi kunne have bygget ungdomsboliger eller familieboliger, vi kunne løfte et område, men venstrefløjens angst for gentrificering lader bygninger som denne stå.
En skrækindjagende bygning, der mest af alt ligner noget fra bogen 1984.

Israeli troops crossed the Litani River on the outskirts of the southern Lebanon town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, around 10 kilometers from the border with Israel, during a recent operation against Hezbollah, the military announces.

The week-long raid was led by the Golani Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit, and included other forces. The IDF says the troops achieved "operational control" over the area, and worked to clear it of Hezbollah infrastructure.

The soldiers did not cross the line demarcating the IDF's new security zone in southern Lebanon, referred to by some in the army as the "Yellow Line."

During the raid, the military says, troops encountered numerous Hezbollah operatives, and killed dozens of them in close-quarters combat and by directing airstrikes.

Several soldiers were lightly injured during the fighting.

In one incident, troops encountered several Hezbollah operatives who emerged from a tunnel north of the river, and exchanged fire with them. During the clash, a dog of the Oketz canine unit was killed.

The troops also located numerous Hezbollah positions, including tunnels, weapon depots, and rocket launchers, the IDF says.

Officers involved in the operation describe the terrain as "very complex," as the river in the area is situated in a forested valley. Despite this, the troops managed to cross the river with armored vehicles.

The army carried out engineering activity in the area, to enable easier crossing of the river by troops in the future, if required.

The Israeli Air Force struck over 100 targets in the area, as part of support for the ground troops, the military adds.

"Campaigns are decided by whether military actions achieve political objectives. In Operation Sindoor, the sequence of events makes that outcome clear: an initial tactical setback gave way to a campaign in which the Pakistan Air Force was increasingly outmatched, India established air superiority over key sectors of Pakistani airspace, and conducted precision strikes across the operational depth of Pakistan. That, not the opening hours, defined the war."

5 mai 1917 : le général #Estienne engage les premiers #chars dans un combat, à Laffaux (Aisne).
---
Avec la stabilisation du front, la cavalerie semblait condamnée à l’inaction sur le front ouest. C’est pourquoi le #commandement décida de transformer certains régiments de #cavalerie en régiments d’#infanterie tout en leur conservant leur appellation de tradition. Au début mai 1917, alors que les offensives françaises touchaient à leur fin, une division de cavalerie à pied fut créée – à titre provisoire – à partir de régiments de cuirassiers. Ils montèrent aussitôt en ligne dans l’Aisne où ils furent regardés avec scepticisme par les fantassins et coloniaux aux côtés desquels ils allaient être engagés le 5 mai. L’objectif de la division provisoire Brécard était un point clef de la ligne de front dans l’Aisne : le plateau du moulin de Laffaux, charnière de la ligne Hindenburg. Avec elle, et pour la première fois depuis l’attaque de Berry-au-Bac, allaient être également engagés des chars dont l’emploi n’avait toujours pas convaincu ni le commandement, ni le gouvernement.
