A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

I editorialised the title because fuck all these clowns not calling a spade a spade.

Original title:

Live: IDF confirms 'targeted raids' inside Lebanon as huge blasts heard across Beirut

I wish anyone at the ABC had the guts to publish a headline as accurate as that.

I would say 'mods won't like it', but the sidebar for this comm doesn't actually have any rules so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usually I'd lean towards removing an editorialized title such as this, but under the circumstances I'm not confident the title isn't 100% correct.

It's infuriating to see the same headline across all the major agencies and networks. Not a single one, that I've yet to find, deviating from whatever IDF tweet or press release they're referencing.

It’s seriously so fucked.

Most accurate headline I've seen in a long time.

Didn't expect to see that headline, you're pretty brave OP. I respect you very much.
