Leaders from around the world condemned Iran for its attack against Israel on Saturday after the Islamic nation fired hundreds of drones and missiles at the U.S. ally. Iran‚ the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism‚ launched its anticipated attack against Israel‚ saying it was a response to Israel killing a top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander in Damascus earlier this month. World leaders from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden to U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the European Union harshly criticized Iran’s actions. The U.S. and U.K. also scrambled fighter jets to shoot down Iranian suicide drones launched toward Israel. “In recent years‚ and especially in recent weeks‚ Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran. Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario‚ both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong‚” said Netanyahu. “We appreciate the U.S. standing alongside Israel‚ as well as the support of Britain‚ France and many other countries.” “We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us‚ we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination‚” Netanyahu added. “Citizens of Israel‚ I know that you are also level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. Together we will stand and with G-d’s help – together we will overcome all of our enemies.” Citizens of Israel‚ I know that you also are also level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. Together we will stand and with G-d's help – together we will overcome all of our enemies. — Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) April 13‚ 2024 Iran’s Mission to the United Nations said the attack was a “response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus” and warned the U.S. to “STAY AWAY&;#33;” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The matter can be deemed concluded‚” Iran’s Mission to the U.N. added. “However‚ should the Israeli regime make another mistake‚ Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime‚ from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY&;#33;” Hours after the attack began‚ Biden promised that America’s support of Israel “remains strong.” “I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel‚” the president said. “Our commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.” I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel.

These strikes risk inflaming tensions and destabilising the region. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard.” “The UK will continue to stand up for Israel’s security and that of all our regional partners‚ including Jordan and Iraq‚” Sunak added. “Alongside our allies‚ we are urgently working to stabilise the situation and prevent further escalation. No one wants to see more bloodshed.” French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne added‚ “France condemns in the strongest terms the attack launched by Iran against Israel. By deciding on such an unprecedented action‚ Iran is taking a new step in its destabilizing actions and taking the risk of a military escalation.” The European Union also condemned Iran’s attack‚ calling it “an unprecedented escalation and a grave threat to regional security.”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night that it had intercepted 99% of the drones and missiles fired at Israel by the Islamic Republic of Iran. IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari cautioned that the attack was not over as U.S. officials warned that Iran had launched an additional 70 missiles after the initial wave was largely unsuccessful. Hagari said that Iran launched more than 200 drones‚ cruise missiles‚ and ballistic missiles from inside its own territory — the first time Iran has ever launched a direct attack against the Jewish state. He said that only minor damage was inflicted on an IDF base in southern Israel and that only one person‚ a little girl‚ had been hurt.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant on Saturday to discuss the threat posed by Iran in the region. “Secretary Austin made clear that Israel could count on full U.S. support to defend Israel against any attacks by Iran and its regional proxies‚” the Department of Defense said in a statement‚ adding that the U.S.’s support for Israel’s defense was “unwavering.”

A creative grandma doesn’t let distance come between her and her new grandson&;#33; Mom influencer Sarah Penewit welcomed her son‚ Dawon‚ on Jan. 12‚ 2024‚ and her mom was standing by her side. The doting grandmother stayed in town for over a month to help the exhausted parents adjust to life with a newborn. Then‚ she sadly jetted back to her home in Texas. Saying goodbye to Dawson wasn’t easy. And the grandma didn’t want to lose the bond she forged during the first weeks of her grandson’s life. So‚ she came up with the genius idea to start a YouTube channel that exclusively shows her reading books to Dawson. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Your Positive News (@yourpositivenews) A video on Your Positive News shows the grandma vibrantly reading Dawson a book through the screen and he intently listens to every word she says while he lounges in a bouncer. “My mom lives out of state and wants to be part of our son’s life‚” reads the caption. “So she made a YouTube channel where she reads him stories.” In a separate post‚ Sarah shared that her mother has given her unending support through pregnancy and into motherhood. “I’m so grateful for a mom who is willing to sacrifice her own sleep so that we can get ours‚” she wrote. “A mom who breaks her leg halfway through her stay with us and says ‘it’s a blessing in disguise. Now I get to spend more time with you.’ A mom who is respectful of our intimate family time and asks if we need her or need space. The list goes on.” “I hope to one day be half the mom she is‚” she concluded. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

In the spring of 2021‚ I was working as a security employee in downtown Chicago‚ Illinois. On this specific night at around 1:30 a.m.‚ I had completed my usual rounds and then settled into the monitor room to check the footage. After about an hour‚ I took a walk to start my next round. Sitting all night can get tiresome and I needed to stretch my legs occasionally. I would start at the ground floor‚ then up the stairwells‚ checking all crucial points. I'd check the entrances‚ and exits‚ check to see if all the offices were locked up and then I would head back down to the ground floor.When I got back to the third floor‚ the elevator stopped. When the doors opened‚ no one was there. I noticed the corridor lights flickering and it felt a little creepy when that happened. I got back into the elevator and went to the ground floor. When I reached the ground floor‚ and after the elevator door opened‚ I made my way to the security room to watch the monitors.&;quot; Continue reading at Tall‚ Dark‚ Human-Like Winged Being Reportedly Seen in Downtown Chicago Building-----DO PLANTS 'SCREAM' &; COMMUNICATE&;#63;It seems like Roald Dahl may have been onto something after all: if you hurt a plant‚ it screams.Well‚ sort of.

A First Nations man recalls his experience with a manifestation while camping in the Northern Canadian wilderness. He was told that it was a 'wendigo.' Or maybe it was a malevolent spirit&;#63;The following account was forwarded to me:&;quot;I wasn't sure if I should share this story with anyone outside of my small circle of people that were there. but I want to share my experience in hopes that it saves someone’s life or gives an understanding of what someone else has experienced.It was late Fall of 2010 in northern Canada I went deep into the wilderness with my father and my eldest brother to hunt for moose. We left in the early morning‚ just before sunrise trying to cover as much distance as possible before nightfall.We traveled winding rivers and had to repeatedly portage over rapids all day‚ we decided to set up camp just over halfway to our destination. My father figured that we’d make the rest of the journey tomorrow. Well‚ when everyone bedded down for the night I decided to go grab some firewood and relieve myself down by the bank of the river‚ just out of reach of the light from the campfire.Out from the tree line (about 15 yards away)‚ I could hear rustling in the bushes‚ I watched the area where I heard the noise and focused on that spot. I felt kind of funny (dizzy/lightheaded) and I could smell this putrid odor‚ like old milk or rotten food. Then I saw the trees start to morph and move ever so slightly and began to take the shape of a head and slight facial features.My eyes began to adjust to the darkness and along the tree line‚ I could hear this voice coming from there. I recognized it‚ the voice sounded like one of my relatives who had recently passed. The face took the shape of my relative. “Hello‚” they said‚ “I’ve missed you‚ come see me.” I smiled and stepped forward a bit but stopped to analyze the situation. My relative's face stopped smiling and became emotionless‚ the skin began to turn pale and peel away. Chunks of flesh from their cheeks began to fall away and I felt shock and fear overwhelm my body. I couldn’t make sense of it at all so I started to back away and make my way to camp‚ I didn’t realize at the time that I had been walking towards the voice and I was further away from the firelight.The voice became angry and began shouting at me to “come here” so I turned to run away but as I looked back one more time I saw the most disgusting thing I had ever seen‚ it was rotting flesh on gnawed bone‚ caved in eyes and a hollow chest cavity‚ this humanoid creature was tall and super thin.I ran as fast as I could‚ trying to yell for help but the fear made my voice quiet and raspy‚ I ran along the river bank and I could hear the heavy breaths and the stomping feet from this thing right behind me‚ I made it onto the top of the river bank but it grabbed a hold of my leg as I jumped up. I gripped and tore the grass trying to lift myself and yelled as loud as I could then finally my voice came back and I yelled‚ “Someone has my leg&;#33;” My brother woke up and ran over to where I was then he pulled me up and took me over to the fire.I was terrified‚ trying to explain what I saw and that it looked like my relative but not. I was trying to convince them that I wasn’t seeing things but my brother nodded his head and said “I saw it too‚ I know.” That solidified it‚ he acknowledged that it was real. We stayed up all night after that‚ rifles loaded and close by‚ we packed up when the sun was coming up and went back home. We haven’t shared that story with anyone out of fear of being labeled as crazy or liars.I’ve had nightmares and couldn’t sleep for months afterward‚ I would see things/dark figures looking into my window or hear whispers when I was walking home at night. Eventually‚ I saw this dark figure daily‚ I went to medicine men/shamans for help but I’ve learned that the ceremonies only relieve it temporarily. Friends have given me everything from “protection pouches” to certain crystals.I found out that there’s a strong possibility that I encountered a “wendigo.” I learned that if you encounter one and survive‚ it attaches itself to you like a parasite. I learned that it could only do this if it touched you‚ which it did. Ever since that night‚ I’ve been on edge when I enter any forest or wooded area‚ which sucks because I loved being outdoors / hunting and in nature. Now I always feel like I need to keep my back against something when I’m out in the wild..Anyways‚ make your own conclusions about this. I’ve paid a price for being an ignorant child to the stories of old. They are real‚ I can attest to that&;quot; BWEIRDEST OF THE WEIRD&;#33; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wolfman #DeerMan #BigfootLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

A father and son are boating in the Dismal Swamp Canal‚ Virginia when they are pelted by rocks by an unknown being. This is later followed by a triangular UFO sighting.The following account was forwarded to me:&;quot;This is the first time I've mentioned this other than to my close friends and family‚ and it took place in the Dismal Swamp Canal heading to the Lake Drummond Reserve just outside of North Carolina heading into Virginia. I can not verify that it was a Bigfoot encounter because my son or I did not see what was harassing us. What we did experience however I still can not find any other plausible explanation for. The first strange occurrence happened right around the historical Cornland School and increased to constant rock throwing‚ and pacing on both banks almost as soon as we entered the feeder ditch while we were rowing a raft toward Lake Drummond to camp in the reserve.I continued towards our planned destination despite the rocks getting closer the further we rowed. I only turned around after we heard something get in the water and we could hear it slowly moving toward us. I fired a rifle shot in that direction and we heard it exit the canal and run through what looked like a clearing given the low light. We then heard what sounded like a conversation between a man and a woman but we couldn't make out any words or language. But we were both certain we heard a man and woman talking‚ that sounded like a couple in their 20s. Once we had reached the exact point it began‚ exiting the ditch back into the main canal it had ended along with the pacing on either side of us.Now I've read reports and heard stories of UFO sightings coinciding and being connected to Bigfoot encounters but never thought that this connection was probable and personally believed it was just added into some stories as a way to mock Bigfoot believers. But as we were rowing to the nearest boat ramp which was Ballahack boat launch‚ I was looking straight up into the sky‚ seeing an object flying with my 1st thought being‚ &;quot;Now why doesn't that plane have his NAV lights on&;#63;&;quot;. It took me a few seconds to realize what I was seeing was a triangular craft that itself looked like it was dully illuminated with 3 brighter lights also in the triangle pattern. I said to my son‚ without ever looking away to know what he was looking at &;quot;Hey‚ do you see that&;#63;&;quot; His instant reply was &;quot;Yes.&;quot; This was immediately followed by the fear and stress he was holding in from the odd encounter minutes earlier sent him into an emotional panic. But if you would like to know the exact times‚ areas‚ and all the details that occurred throughout the night I would be glad to help.&;quot; OWEIRDEST OF THE WEIRD&;#33; | Join Us For LIVE CHAT | Questions &; Answers #Wolfman #DeerMan #BigfootLISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS RADIO Podcasts on SpotifyPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTCHICAGO MOTHMAN / O'HARE BATMAN YouTube PlaylistHave you had a sighting or encounter&;#63;Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.
