Israeli army has systematically attacked targets in their private homes, alongside their families — in part because it was easier from an intelligence standpoint to mark family houses using automated systems.

Operatives marked by Lavender were assassinated only with dumb bombs, in the interest of saving more expensive armaments.

US State Department spokesman Campbell notes that China has helped Russia survive economic and military setbacks over the past 2 years, essentially making up for trade with European partners that stopped after a full-scale invasion
