🇯🇵 Today it’s election day in Japan and people will vote for the House of Representatives and the next government.

📃 Main parties and candidates:
💚 LDP (Conservatism): Shigeru Ishiba (incumbent Prime Minister)
💙 CDP (Liberalism): Yoshihiko Noda
💚 Ishin (Libertarian Conservatism): Nobuyuki Baba
💜 Komeito (Centrism): Keiichi Ishii
❤️ JCP (Communism): Tomoko Tamura
💛 DPP (Liberal Conservatism): Yuichiro Tamaki
💜 Reiwa (Progressivism): Tarō Yamamoto
💙 SDP (Social Democracy): Mizuho Fukushima
🧡 Sanseitō (Nationalism): Sohei Kamiya

🗳 Given the unpopularity of former Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, the opposition has began rising, with LDP and CDP ramping up the attacks on each other. The last a different party than LDP governed was between 2009 and 2012, with CDP leader Noda being the PM in the last year. An LDP scandal about the misuse of campaign funds aggravated the situation for the government.

📊 Polls give LDP a safe lead despite the issues. The following polls are based on party identification and include undecided and unaffiliated voters, which is why actual results will be higher:
🗳 LDP: 31-40%
🗳 CDP: 8-15%
🗳 Ishin: 2-5%
🗳 Komeito: 2-5%
🗳 JCP: 2-5%
🗳 DPP: 2-5%
🗳 Reiwa: 2-4%
🗳 Sanseitō: 0.5-1.5%
🗳 SDP: 0.5-1%

🗳 Polls will remain open until 20:00 JST. There is no electoral threshold.

🇬🇪 - All votes have been counted, Georgian Dream receive 54.2%.

⚡️🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 - Hezbollah has published a video, displaying an "ALMAS" ATGM attack on an IDF Personnel Gathering in a shelter in the settelment of "Shomera".

Based on OSINT, Israeli Shelters are compounded of '60cm' of Reinforced Concrete, a "SPIKE" ATGM (which is what the "ALMAS" ATGM is based on) can penetrate a meter of Reinforced Concrete.

⚡️🇵🇸❌🇮🇱 - The AlQassam Brigades has published a video on its attack on IDF personnel in Eastern 'Jabalia', Northern Gaza.

The unit observed an IDF Unit enter a home, notably, the windows are already covered with curtains and blankets, thus more soldiers are already fortifying inside.
Interestingly, a "HEMTT" vehicle is infront of the building but the unit did not attack it.

The unit used an AK-Series rifle and a "TBG-7V" Thermobaric Shell.

⚡️🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 - A video was posted yesterday by Israeli Media of the damage done by the "ALMAS" ATGM attack, which shows a successful penetration of the shelter, thus certainly causing causalities.

🇷🇺🇸🇾🇯🇴 - The Joint Syrian-Russian air force conducts air patrols over the southern region of "Daraa" and "Sweida" aswell as the Syrian-Jordanian border.

🇲🇲 Myanmar fighters ambushed an unprotected government convoy, taking advantage of the lack of security.
