IDF Strikes Targets in Gaza in Response to Incendiary Balloons After Unrelated Explosions Rock City by Morgan Artvukhina Explosions were reported in Gaza early Saturday morning several hours after several brush fires in southern Israel, which the Israeli authorities said were caused by incendiary bombs launched from Gaza. While the Israeli Defense Forces denied responsibility for the explosions, real strikes soon began. Several unmanned aerial vehicles were reportedly operating over the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning. According to Quds News, there were explosions reported on agricultural land north of Beit Lahia, a city in the northern Gaza Strip, while another explosion was reported in central Gaza. Despite reports of IDF activity, conflicting reports also claim the explosions were the result of grenades. Additionally, the Times of Israel reported that the IDF wasn't conducting combat operations over the territory at that time. A reporter with Palestinian outlet Shehab News also reported the explosion in Beit Lahia was "internal." About an hour after the first explosions were reported, anti-aircraft guns were reported engaging Israeli Air Force aircraft as several explosions were reported in the central city of Khan Younis as well as at the civil administration building in Jabaliva in the northern Gaza Strip. Footage of anti-aircraft fire in northern Gaza was posted on social media. After another hour, another set of airstrikes were reported in Beit Hanoun in northeastern Gaza and the civil administration building in Jabaliya was reportedly struck for a second time by IAF jets. The IDF confirmed the strikes in a tweet on early Saturday, saying its fighter jets "attacked a terrorist base used by the Kfar Jabalya battalion of [Hamas], as well as the organization's rocket launching station near the village". On Friday, four brush fires in southern Israel were blamed on incendiary balloons launched from Gaza. Also on Friday, Hezbollah launched nearly two dozen rockets from southern Lebanoninto northern Israel and the Golan Heights, saying it was in response to earlier airstrikes by the IDF. However, an IDF spokesperson said the launches were not intended to be provocative as they were aimed at empty ground, so the risk of further escalation was low.

US Investor Calvey Receives 5 Years 6 Months of Suspended Sentence Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/09/2021 9:32:51 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/09/2021 9:32:51 AM by Morgan Artvukhina A Moscow court has given American investor Michael Calvey a suspended sentence of five-and-a-half years in prison after being found guilty on embezzlement charges. The crime is punishable by up to 10 years in prison in Russia. Calvey, who founded private equity group Baring Vostok, was arrested in 2019 alongside other executives on charges of embezzling 2.5 billion rubles (nearly $34 million) from Russia's Vostochny Bank. “The court found [the defendants] committed embezzlement, that is, theft of property entrusted to the accused, using their official position, on an especially large scale,” Judge Anna Sokova of Moscow's Meshchansky District Court announced on Thursday. When US President Joe Biden met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Switzerland, in June, he suggested Calvey's prosecution had put a damper on American businessmen's interest in doing business in Russia. US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan has also condemned Calvey's charges, saying it was "clearly a private business dispute." In addition to Calvey, French banker Philippe Delpal, a partner in the firm, was given a suspended sentence of four years and six months.

Videos: Lebanese Party Says Civilians Stopping Hezbollah Rocket Convoy Was ‘Misunderstanding’ by Morgan Artvukhina After Hezbollah fighters fired rockets into Israel from southern Lebanon on Friday, their trucks were stopped by locals as they drove through a nearby town. The United Nations is urging calm, but the Israeli military seems to think the risk of escalation is low. On Friday morning, Hezbollah fired 19 rockets into northern Israel and the Golan Heights, 10 of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system. According to the Lebanese militant group, the launches were in response to Israeli airstrikes the day before. Those, in turn, were launched after an earlier round of rockets were fired into Israel from southern Lebanon. However, some time afterward, as the truck-mounted rocket launcher was driving through the town of Shouya, a group of several dozen residents mobbed the truck in the town square, pulling the crew members from the vehicle. According to the Times of Israel. Shouya is a town of Druze, an ethnoreligious group distantly related to Muslims, but who in Lebanon’s factional political structure are treated as one of five Muslim communities in the country. Video posted on social media shows the protesters yelling as one person filming the conflagration says “let the whole world see, Hezbollah is launching rockets next to our houses so that Israel hits us back.” After the incident, Hezbollah issued a statement verifying the incident occurred, but adding that the group “was, and is, and will always be the most careful about the security of civilians and not expose them to any danger during its work of resistance.” Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/09/2021 9:32:51 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 08/09/2021 9:32:51 AM Separately, a spokesperson from the Lebanese Democratic Party, whose major constituency is Druze, was reported to have said, "There was a misunderstanding in Shwayya after some civilians thought that the truck belongs to fifth columnists, and the Resistance has the right to fire rockets from wherever they want." Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem told reporters later on Friday that the group was “prepared to respond” to another potential Israeli strike on Lebanese territory. “Israel must understand that it must stay deterred. Otherwise, we are prepared to respond,” he said, according to the Times of Israel. Hezbollah also released a video of the earlier rocket attack. After the Friday rocket launches, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which is formally charged with keeping the peace between the Litani River and the Blue Line that forms the de facto border between Israel and Lebanon, said the force was coordinating a response with the Lebanese Army. “This is a very serious situation and we urge all parties to cease fire,” Gen. Stefano Del Col, an Italian commander at the head of UNIFIL, said in a statement. Samir Geagea, who leads the Lebanese Forces, a far-right Christian party descended from the fascist Kataeb and staunchly opposed to Hezbollah, said on Twitter that "what is happening in the south is dangerous, very dangerous, especially in light of the great tension emerging in the region.” However, it seems that for now, Israel has “no intention of going to war, but we do not want to turn the Lebanon border into a line of confrontation,” Ran Kochav, a spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, told reporters. “The incident shows Hezbollah’s deterrence, as it fired at open areas,” he added, explaining that the rocket launches were primarily intended to make a point, not to destroy or kill. “This is a moderate response from Hezbollah, [so] as to not escalate the situation.” Nonetheless, Israeli Defense Ministry Benny Gantz told US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Friday that the country is "prepared for any scenario, and will continue to operate against Hezbollah or any of its proxies," according to Reuters. He added that "additional action must be taken in order to thwart Iranian malign activities, including its nuclear program and attacks in the region and in particular its use of UAVs and missiles." Later on Friday, the US State Department issued a statement condemning Hezbollah's rocket launches after Gantz asked Washington to do so. “The United States condemns in the strongest terms Hezbollah’s rocket attacks into Israel. This violence puts Israelis and Lebanese at risk and jeopardizes Lebanon’s stability and sovereignty,” spokesperson Ned Price said. “We call upon the Lebanese government urgently to prevent such attacks and bring the area under its control,” he added. “We also urge the Lebanese government to facilitate full access for UNIFIL peacekeepers in accordance with UNSCR [United Nations Security Council Resolution] 1701. We strongly encourage all efforts to maintain calm.” This material is distributed by Ghebi LLC on behalf of Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency, and additional information is on file with the Department of Justice, Washington, District of Columbia.

Delgado Director, Latin American Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT ARGÜELLO VARGAS, TATIANA, M.A., August 2010, Latin American Studies Culture and Arts in Post Revolutionary Nicaragua: The Chamorro Years (1990-1996) (100 pp.) Director of Thesis: Patrick Barr-Melej This thesis explores the role of culture in post-revolutionary Nicaragua during the administration of Violeta Barrios de Chamorro (1990-1996). In particular, this research analyzes the negotiation and redefinition of culture between Nicaragua’s revolutionary past and its neoliberal present. In order to expose what aspects of the cultural project survived and what new manifestations appear, this thesis examines the followings elements: 1) the cultural policy and institutional apparatus created by the government of President Chamorro; 2) the effects and consequences that this cultural policy produced in the country through the battle between revolutionary and post-revolutionary cultural symbols in Managua as a urban space; and 3), the role and evolution of Managua’s mayor and future president Arnoldo Alemán as an important actor redefining culture in the 1990s.
