So, I'm at my grandma's place in the city nearby, in her old building. This time the stairs are different because they have, like, a wider gap between them, it looks like you could fall through.

At the same time, the whole building is shaking. Also, one-third of the elevator from the back is cut off, but the elevator still works normally. Literally, just darkness there where that 1/3 should be.

I'm holding on for dear life to the railings and climbing up. Some woman who's also climbing sees me. She's struggling too, but you can tell from her face that she's used to it. She gives me a "WTF" look. Because I had obviously freaked out from fear in the dream. And I just toss back at her, "I'm sorry, I'm not from the city." As if this is a completely normal thing for every resident, lmao.

She kinda just shrugs It off and eventually climbed past me.

Belgium has banned aircraft carrying weapons and military equipment to Israel from using the country’s airspace or making technical stops, the Foreign Ministry confirmed to Anadolu on Friday.

According to sources from the ministry, the measure came into effect on Thursday.

The decision, initiated by Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot, requires relevant parties to report to Belgian officials the transportation details of flights carrying military equipment to Israel, daily Le Soir reported.

The embargo aims to prevent the transportation of arms and military goods to Israel, the daily noted.

The decision also closes legal loopholes that previously allowed “non-stop transit” shipments, where cargo was not unloaded during technical stops.

Inspections will be conducted by customs authorities and the Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport (SPF Transport).

In Belgium, licenses for arms exports fall under the authority of regional governments, while transportation and transit of weapons are managed at the federal level, which means the federal embargo could effectively prevent the use of regional export licenses.

“Belgium has an obligation to do everything possible to avoid contributing to this situation… Belgium is ensuring that it respects its obligations under international law and is sending a clear signal at the European and international levels,” Prevot said earlier on this topic.

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza that began in October 2023 and lasted two years has killed more than 71,000 Palestinians and wounded over 171,000, most of them women and children, and destroyed about 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure.

Since a ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, Israel killed 483 Palestinians and wounded 1,287, sharply restricting the entry of food, shelter materials and medical supplies into Gaza, where 2.4 million Palestinians live in dire conditions.
