Erdogan, Yemenis, Putin, et al sent condolences to Iran for the heinous crime.. really, another massive mistake, helping folks connect the bombing of Beirut civilians, Belgorod, and now Kerman.. They will not take long to become absolutely detested Pariahs worldwide. It’s happening in real time
Nukes won’t work against Yemen. Much of their critical infrastructure is underground or inside mountains.. They were bombed, missiled, droned, shelled, mass-charged by AlCIAda, and suicide-bombed for almost a decade straight. NOTE the risible bluff by USUK against Yemen was called.
The Empire simply lacks sufficient resources against the entire Resistance. IMO it will focus on Iran, the mastermind, and Hezbollah, the closest danger to Little Cancer, which is at risk of taking the entire Galilee. Hezbollah should be the priority now. But even they are burrowed deep inside mountains and hills, thanks to tech and know-how given by Iran, Syria and the goodfellas from the DPRK who remember the 1950s…

⭕ Attacks in Iran: two remote-controlled bombs exploded near the shrine of General Soleimani in Kerman, Iran, killing more than 100 people and injuring hundreds (official report)
This type of terrorist attack committed on the day of the commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the assassination of the Iranian general at Baghdad international airport was very predictable.
The timing was not appropriate for such gatherings at a time when Iran is de facto at war. [Agreed. Russia canceled the New Year’s celebrations in many southern border areas after Belgorod was struck.. not that I am saying it was permitted to be done, but there are undoubted chess calculations that such blows would inevitably come, given the size of Iran, its numbers, the plethora of soft targets, and the moral character of the Last Empire…]
⭕ Egyptian media: “the convergence of interests between the United States and the Zionist entity is behind the terrorist attacks in central Iran.”
⭕ Official national mourning in Iran after the very deadly attacks in Kerman, in the center of the country, which targeted a very large crowd coming to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the assassination, in Baghdad, of General Qassem Sulaimani, by the United States. [this will work to further sink the combined West. Most media are connecting the West and the Zionists.. we’ve already seen “US-allied Israel” in India media.. Indian FM Jaishankar visited Putin a few days ago.. then promptly the Indian civil-war in the NE province of Manipur on border with Myanmar and near China, re-ignited. This will be the Year of the BRICS]

⭕⚡️🇪🇬 In Egypt, a delegation from Congress in the U.S visited Egypt and held a meeting with the Foreign Minister.
By the end of it, the Americans held the looks of either “I am too tired to deal with this shit” or “Its over”, while our Foreign Minister, in the first time of his life, had a shit-eating grin.
The negotiations were about aid to Gaza, I expect a proper announcement to take place soon. [the Egyptian Red Bull is now inside BRICS. Maybe it will acquire the huevos to breach the barbaric siege and deliver urgent aid to Gaza]

⭕ Around 53 people have been killed and 70 wounded by a terrorist attack in Kerman, #Iran, in an open space, by remotely exploded IEDs, close to the late Brigadier General Qassim Soleimani’s tomb, to commemorate the fourth anniversary of his assassination in #Baghdad, #Iraq.
⭕ This attack is not a coincidence and can’t be separated from the assassination of the #Hamas and al-Qassam commanders in #Beirut, #Lebanon, and the ongoing war in #Gaza.
⭕ Update: the number of Iranian victims killed in the two explosions is 73, and 170 were wounded in #Kerman, #Iran
⭕ Kerman is close to #Afghanistan and #Pakistan borders where two anti-Iran pro-Israel pro-US org operate: The People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), aka Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) and Jundallah, the People’s Resistance Movement of Iran based in Sistan and Baluchestan.
⭕ Israel killed General Radhi Mousavi, the #IRGC logistics commander in #Syria, last week, as part of @Netanyahu’s war to desperately show Israelis his capabilities and ‘achievements’ to stay in power and to hit back at Iran for what it has achieved by supporting the resistance💠@Yeni Şafak in Russian:

⭕ War between Israel and Lebanon is “closer than ever” – German tabloid Bild
❕ Until now, fighting between the Israeli army and Hezbollah has been limited to the border areas between Israel and Lebanon, but the recent attack on Beirut , which led to the death of Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri and other commanders, could bring the conflict between the IDF and Hezbollah to the next level. new level .
🚫 The Israeli strike on Beirut has already led to negotiations on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of Israelis have been cancelled . In addition, US Secretary of State Blinken refused to fly to Israel “for security reasons.”
✍️ Middle East expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies Emil Hokaem writes that “difficult and terrible times lie ahead” due to the military capabilities of the Lebanese group. [note: (1) the chattel German media signals the desire of the Anglo-Zionists to detonate West Asia. (2) It reminds us why Lil Blinkie cancelled his trip. Like the insider traders, perhaps he heard of rumours of the back-to-back fireworks enroute?? What cowards who can’t help revealing themselves at every stage of the crime!]💠@Middle East Spectator:

⭕ The EU 🇪🇺 condemned in the strongest terms today’s bombing in the city of Kerman in Iran. It added: “Perpetrators must be held accountable.” [the MEK terrorist group, whose conventions were routinely visited by Pompeo, McCain, Lindsay Graham and other crazies, IS BASED IN PARIS. Check them out and touch base with the French DGSE and the internal branch since much of the Shah’s “exile gov” rifraff live thereabouts..]a grave provocation in the Iranian city of Kerman during commemorations of Soleimani’s murder near his grave. This is also his hometown. Multiple bombs remotely detonated (is NATO running out of suicide bombers?) with worst casaulties in the second blast, timed 10 minutes later to be a double-tap, as usual. Who has a pedigree of targeting such mass gatherings, usually of women and children, such as funerals, wakes, celebrations, etc..?? And may be many more to come.. They cannot be completely stopped as Iran has millions of guest workers from Central Asia and elsewhere, and is quite multicultural and infested with a liberal fifth column that blends in..

⭕ Israel is expecting #Hezbollah’s retaliation for breaking the Rules of Engagement, re-imposing deterrence and for the assassination in #Beirut of Sheikh Saleh al-Aruri, Samir Fandi, Azzam al-Aqra’, Mahmoud Shaheen, Mohammad Bashaha, Mohammad al-raeis, and Ahmad Hmoud.
⭕ Normal procedure. In most Israeli assassinations, officials deny or do not reveal their involvement officially but through the media.[response to: Any idea why Israeli are denying any involvement?]
🔹C1: I can’t think of a single high value target anywhere in the US or Israeli chain of command. Assassinating anyone would be doing Americans and Israelis a favour they don’t deserve.
⭕ Israel crossed the redlines by target-assassinating seven people in a sovereign country, #Lebanon. Retaliation is not an option.
🔹Q1: Why is retaliation not an option?
🔹A1: Because it is a must.
🔹Q2: Hezbollah may not retaliate immediately, they may calculate and retaliate at specific time.. what do you think about it??
🔹A2: No it won’t wait.
⭕ Israel killed Yasser Arafat, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Fathi Shiqaqi, and Abu Ali Mustafa, and the Palestinian resistance became stronger than ever. One of the martyrs assassinated with Sheikh Saleh Al-Aruri in #Beirut was Samir Fandi, al-Qassam’s official representative in #Lebanon and abroad. He had been at the top of the #Israel assassination list for quite some time for his military role abroad.
⭕ Among the #Hamas commanders assassinated by #Israel in #Beirut were 3 Lebanese. #Lebanon, through its army, people and resistance, has the official right to respond and hold Israel accountable for its crimes.
⭕ Israel PM @Netanyahu aimed for a folkloric victory to reconstruct his image & cover his failure to achieve his objectives to defeat #Hamas & free the prisoners. No victory in #Gaza, apart from destroying the Strip & killing children & women. Netanyahu is enlarging the conflict
⭕ Retweet: An Israeli army captain took a Palestinian baby girl from Gaza, according to an interview with a friend. Rights groups are calling for an investigation.
The soldier has since died from war wounds, but the baby’s identity and whereabouts remain unknown
⭕ Nero was motivated to destroy the city to bypass the senate and rebuild Rome in his image.
@Netanyahu is burning the Middle East to stay in power.
⭕ The only missing event to blow in the face of @Netanyahu is a general uprising in the West Bank.
All resistance groups in the West Bank issued a joint communiqué condemning the assassination of Al-Aruri and his companions.
⭕ Israel announced it has suffered 31 casualties among its officers and soldiers in the last 24 hours in #Gaza, while 41 were announced two days ago. At this rhythm, the number of Israeli casualties is increasing while none of the targets set have been met.
This is a defeat
⭕ The only way for this war to stop and for @Netanyahu to come out “non-defeated” is if it becomes more violent and spreads to #Lebanon and other countries.
I will explain further in due course.💠@Strategika51:

⭕ Attention ⛔️
Very cruel video 🔞
A father and his four-year-old daughter targeted by Israeli terrorist army snipers.
They were civilians fleeing the combat zone, not combatants, but the Zionist rats unblinkingly claim that the little girl was armed.
No army commits this except that, fictitious, of the terrorist Zionist entity.
These crazy Talmudists are heading straight to their doom. [same video above via Intel Report]
⭕ Malaysia has welcomed South Africa’s action against Israel at the International Criminal Court for genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Curiously, no Arab country has welcomed this initiative. [Actually Algeria filed similar with ICC, and Turkey, etc.]
🔹C1: When the conflict is over, we will talk again about the Arab “entities” condemned, without exception, to disappearance. However, an idea or a comment comes to mind. This is where you realize the myth, the shit that we have been told about the history of the Arab world, the Algerian war, the epic of French and British colonization, etc… . Right now Gaza is waging an existential struggle, and if US imperialism passes, all entities without exception will disappear, I mean all. It’s truly something existential. However, each tribe that reigns over its plot, that is to say over the entity, does not care, and even wishes that the Westerners finish it as quickly as possible, to resume their affairs as quickly as possible. After the argument, the henchmen of the mythology of the Arab world will repeat to us all in chorus “before it wasn’t like that….”. There has never been an Arab history, because there has never been an Arab “people”. We see it like never before, we are dealing with tribes. [a tad harsh, and quite ahistorical, but in the ballpark for the last century or so]
🔹C2: The problem is that the “Talmudic enlightened people” as you say have corrupted the whole world.
🔹C1: We must stop for five minutes with these repeated myths, there are no, as you say, ‘Talmudic enlightened people’, there is a reality that AIPAC leads the foreign policy of the USA and a large part of the West. If they were as strong as they say, what are they doing with Gaza? A handful of insurgents under total blockade of the entire world managed to stand up to the entire Western war machine. No, there is a reality, the excessive cowardice of the Arab world.
🔹C1: Israel is not even capable of waging a war with Lebanese militias alone. They can’t do it, and even if the USA gets involved you will see that militarily it will be the same nullity, the same mediocrity. On the other hand, the cowardice of those who lead the entities of the Arab world no longer needs to be proven. Guess right now what the elites of Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, so-called “Saudi Arabia”, so-called “Jordan” etc… are hoping for? That Israel and the USA in end as quickly as possible with Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. That way their dirty little business will be able to resume as before. That’s the reality.

⭕ 🛑 | 🇾🇪 Statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces’ spox Yahya Sarae:The naval forces of the Armed Forces of Yemen, carried out an operation against the ship “CMA CGM TAGE” destined for israeli parts.
This targeting operation comes after the ship’s crew refused to respond to the calls of the Yemeni naval forces, including warning messages.
Furthermore, the Yemeni Armed Forces emphasize that any American aggression will not pass without a response or punishment.
We, the Yemeni Armed Forces, offer congratulations and condolences to the jihadist brothers in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on the martyrdom of the jihadist leader Saleh Al-Arouri and his martyred companions.
⭕ 🚨 A second incident on the road leading to Golzar Shahada, in Kerman [Iran]. Cause is unknown.
There are no martyrs so far, only 10 injured due to overcrowding.
⭕ 🚨 According to local sources on the ground, the 2 explosions in Kerman occurred due to 2suicide-bombers, at 2 seperate locations.
⭕ 🚨 Near the entrance of the graveyard, there were 2 bags with explosives, which were detonated with a remote control.
⭕ ‘In a message to Israel’s parliament on Tuesday, Iranian opposition figure Vahid Beheshti urged Israel to target Iran directly…’ These are the same people who advocated and organised all the Mahsa Amini protests and the “Woman Life Freedom” movements. [more action which permanently discredits western NGOs and vassals’ claims to “human rights violation” of Others]
⭕ The Zionist regime (unofficially) took responsibility for today’s terrorist act in Iran. Yossi Cohen, the former head of Mossad, referring to the explosions in Kerman: “A cold and dry winter is ahead for the Islamic Republic.”
⭕ 🌹Death toll update #2. Approximately 73 martyrs & 170 people were injured in Kerman terrorist attack.
⭕ When it comes to terrorist attacks in Iran, MOSSAD or the US hire filthy American proxies such as MEK-terrorist agents to carry out their dirty work.
⭕ Okay now that my climax of emotions & anger has faded away a little let’s talk about a few things:The terrorist attack in Kerman, is carried out by israel through American proxies such as the MEK-terrorists organisation (or other US proxies). This attack happened because Iran did not give a firm response [in time] after the attacks in Syria. HOWEVER, as much as I really want Kheybar Shekans to fly in the air toward you-know-where, it’s not in Iran’s favour to strike back directly.
Yes I know it’s not what you like to hear, neither do I, as an Iranian who’s grieving, want to hear. But this is the real world and we’re dealing with a crazy maniac of an entity. Iran’s response should be in a manner that is calculated and painful, avoiding the cost of more Iranian lives. Striking Tel Aviv or Haifa direcly, will only cost more Iranian lives.
Viable options for Iran are either striking from Iraq/Syria or to strike an israeli asset outside their borders, such as the MOSSAD compound in Iraq which got striked by Fateh-110s in 2022.
Israel wants to drag both Iran & Lebanon into an all out war, but this is not in our favour. Israel’s achilles’ heel is a slow death, not an immediate death. [a proper asymmetrical response could be to increase the hammering of the Syraq US bases… let’s watch the Iraqi reports. They were lively yesterday]
⭕ 🌹Death toll update #3. Approximately 103 martyrs & 141 injured, some of them are in serious condition. The injured have been transferred to Prophet Azam, Bahonar, Shafa and Afzalipur hospitals.
⭕ Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ): We strongly condemn the treacherous attack in Kerman against citizens at the shrine of martyr Commander Hajj Qassem Soleimani.
The sinful aggression will increase the cohesion of the peoples of our nation around resistance, of which martyr Soleimani will remain a symbol. [to save time and space, I will stop listing the coming flood of indignation by all groups..]
⭕ Iranian minister of the Interior:
🔹“We have information, but we will inform people as soon as it is confirmed. People should not pay attention to rumours. I ask everyone to pay attention to the PsyOps by the enemy and not to become a victim of it.”
🔹“This terrorist act will be met with a strong and decisive response from the security and military apparatus in the shortest possible time.”
🔹“The first explosion occurred at 3PM, and when people rushed to come & help the wounded, a second explosion occurred at 3:20PM; most of the martyrs & injured are affected by the second explosion.”
🔹“The situation in Kerman is normal now, and everything is under the control of the security and law enforcement forces.”
🔹“The enemy tried to carry out explosions in various ceremonies, which was thwarted by our intelligence forces.”

Note the anger expressed above from Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, all Palestinian factions, etc. — and these are the ones we know of or which I bothered to post (skipping many). This crime will galvanize and close the ranks, internally within Palestine and externally among the entire Resistance, knowing this Beast will need to killed as no other options exist; crucially, it will speed up the discarding of compradores and traitors within. New fiercer blood from younger generations will come to fore… one cannot kill an idea. The fight will be joined in a more primal way by the Resistance.

⭕ ⚡️🇱🇧🇵🇸 An Explosion occurred in Southern Beirut, in the Dahye neighborhood by Israeli aviation, the targets were 6 Palestinians, one of which were Saleh Al-Arouri, the deputy chairman of the Political Office of Hamas, and one of the founding commandants of the Armed wing of Hamas – Al-Qassam Brigades.Besides him, 2 of the other 5 were also commanders in the Military Wing, one of wich was named – Abu Aamer, who is the commander of Al-Qassam in Southern Lebanon.
In return, Hamas informed the Arab Republic of Egypt and Qatar that they are ceasing all current negotiations effective immediately until further notice.
⭕ Ah, this is big, I think – the Israelis were not joking when they were saying they were going to assassinate the leaders and commanders of Hamas.Their best bet for safety is to flee to Egypt or Turkey, their security organs are far more powerful and are better at securing personnel than Qatar, and Lebanon can not afford that safety as we see.
⭕ A Personal Comment about that.The effectiveness of assassinations of leaders varies due to many characteristics, for example, if you assassinate a warlord or a tribal leader, chances are that this will spill the end of the matter, or at least for some time, because in the militia structure or a tribe that derives power from its leaders is a structure that relies on a strongman to live.
As for nations or resistance factions, this is not the case – Israel assassinated the Egyptian Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces back in 1969, the plans were still made and affairs were carried on as normal, and it paid off in 4 years, Israel assassinated the founder of Hamas, and I think they still exist.
We will have to wait and see what the outcome of this operation will be, but I doubt it will change much, to be honest – because such organizations and countries rely on the power of the cause, not some tribal shit.
⭕ ⚡️🇪🇬 Egypt has suspended its mediation efforts with Israel (for now), and the Israeli delegation has been ordered to leave Cairo.Saleh Al-Arouri is one of the few Palestinian commandants who was not egotistical or narcissitic towards the Command in Egypt, and has been noted as one of the few cool-heads who we could actually talk with, so his death is taken as a major escalation by Egyptian authorities.
It is important to note that Hamas has already suspended its talk with Qatar and Egypt, thus, the mediation efforts are completely useless without the input of one side.
⭕ Important to note that Al-Arouri has also met the King of Jordan on mulitple occasions, and enjoyed friendly relations.What Israel wished to accomplish with this assasination, is unknown.
⭕ The fact that the U.S was not informed of this operation tells me that Israel actually wants the war to continue no matter what, he was not in Lebanon, and Turkey, and Jordan, and Egypt for the shits and giggles, Al-Arouri was one of THE MAIN negotiators and Hamas figureheads in the negotiations, his personal friendship with many leaders and negotiators has led to the success of multiple deals – his signature is on the papers afterall.Israel, or at least factions in Israel, do not want peace or even negotiations about anything, that is how I see it.

⭕ Do not worry, Dear IDF.
Google Major General Albert Mandler, your turn will come one day too – but it seems it has to come at our hands instead of these guys.
⭕ For Context – Avraham Albert Mandler was a Major General in the IDF, the Egyptian army had personal beef with him because this man was a war criminal and killed POWs in Palestine and Sinai, so in 1973, a combination of HUMINT and COMINT managed to nail him in a command jeep and a missile took care of him, and thus, he, his radio operator, and jeep, were eviscerated – a clean and targeted assasination.

They desperately need an achievement, and after nearly 3 months of fighting, this may be the *only* cowardly achievement they’ve gotten. This achievement is rather far-fetched. It is only tactical and will not deliver israel the winning card, but is enough to keep its population of hungry blood-thirsty terrorists satisfied.

So true dear emerson. Persia went through several such cycles, as all others. All suffered and will suffer terminal madness. As a teen my favorite artist was Goya. Back then, for years, I also had intense daily historical readings as my mentor was a history teacher. He pushed and pushed and I wrote more in that decade than probably since; our recurring theme: tragic western civilization and the messianic “civilizing” three Gs — Guns, Gold and God, in that order.It took a decade or so to understand why I was usually disturbed by the outside world — I had started experiencing it as an enactment of his dark paintings! An Anglo world going absolutely mad. Goya had been fated to live at a similar phase of Imperial decadence and disintegration. The insanity and the grotesque he drew, like a cabinet of curiosities compiled by an opium addict.. There really is little new at this point in History, including heeding the good advice of the Stoics and turning inward and away from external cyclical madness.

💠 @Resistance News Network:
⭕ In August 2023, martyr Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri gave an interview while he faced escalating assassination threats, reaffirming the resistance’s ability to expel the occupation and shut down its economy. He stated:
—
The threat of assassinating the leaders of Hamas is not new to the occupation. Their project began with massacres, killings, displacement, and torture. Indeed, they assassinate martyrs from our people every day. And we, in Hamas, are part of this people.We in Hamas are part of this people, and thus we get martyred like our people, we get arrested as they get arrested, our homes get demolished, and we are pursued and hunted. This is the unfortunate normal situation under the occupation. But also, we resist, chase, and fight because we are in the right.
We do not fear the threats of the occupation, and I feel that I have exceeded my default life. Martyrdom is welcome when it comes like the rest of those who preceded us. Mohammed Deif was threatened with assassination, but he will enter Al-Quds, Allah willing, with the occupation in the dustbins of history.
Does the occupation expect that after its assassination threats, we will declare surrender?! These threats don’t scare us, and as the Palestinian people, we have no options; hence, we will not stop resisting.
Once, a defense minister named Lieberman came and said, “I will cut off Ismail Haniyeh’s head.” Now he’s in the dustbin of history, while Ismail Haniyeh still serves our people’s cause. Similarly, they tried to kill the leader, Mohammed Deif. Allah willing, he will enter Al-Quds, and they will be the ones out of history.

We have much to settle with the occupation, and the price must be paid.
⭕ 🟢 Member of the Political Bureau of Hamas Movement, Izzat Al-Rishq:
—
The cowardly assassination operations carried out by the zionist occupation against the leaders and symbols of our Palestinian people inside and outside Palestine, will not succeed in breaking the will and resilience of our people, or in undermining the continuity of its valiant resistance.They prove once again the utter failure of this enemy in achieving any of its aggressive objectives in the Gaza Strip.
⭕ ⚔️ Popular Resistance Committees:
—
We mourn the martyr, the great national leader, Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, deputy head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas, who rose in a cowardly zionist assassination in the southern suburb of Beirut. We affirm that this cowardly operation and the martyrdom of Sheikh Saleh will not break the will of our people, but rather will increase their revolutionary action and valiant resistance. It will be fire and a curse on the zionist enemy.The zionist enemy and its criminal leaders will pay the price for their fascism and all their crimes against our people, including the assassination of Commander Saleh Al-Arouri.

—
The ascension of the great leader Saleh Al-Arouri is a crime that will not go unpunished.The valiant Palestinian resistance will respond to this crime with all force.
The leaders of this great people sacrifice their lives for Palestine.
We extend our congratulations and blessings to the Hamas movement and all the resistance factions, and we affirm at this painful moment that we will continue our struggle until the occupation is defeated.
This enemy will know that he made a mistake for which he will pay dearly.
We say to all the free people of the world that the Palestinian people will not relent, will not retreat, and will continue to resist until their entire land is liberated.
⭕ 🇾🇪 Ansarallah [Yemen] spokesman, Mohammad Abdul Salam:
—
We extend our condolences to the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas on the martyrdom of the deputy head of the movement’s political bureau, Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, following the cowardly “israeli” assassination that targeted him in Al-Dahye, southern Beirut.We strongly condemn the assassination, which constitutes a treacherous aggression against Lebanon, and we affirm our support for the resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon.

“Revolt, O my homeland, revolt! This is what Arouri asked us.” |video|
⭕ 🚨 Joint statement by Palestinian prisoner institutions:
—
Prisoners’ institutions, in the name of all prisoners in the occupation’s prisons and those who have been released, mourn the national leader and martyr Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri and his companions who were martyred alongside him.The prisoner institutions (Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs’ Commission, Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, and The Supreme National Committee of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs), and the national prisoner movement in the occupation prisoners, and the freed prisoners in the homeland and diaspora, mourn to our great people, the fighter, national leader, freed prisoner, and exiled, Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri (Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas), who ascended today after an assassination operation and a group of his companions, carried out by the “israeli” occupation against him in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
The institutions said in a statement: Today we mourn a leader, a national fighter, and a freed prisoner, who devoted his life for the freedom of his land and people until the last moment of his life. He spent a total of about 18 years in “israeli” occupation prisons, with his last arrest being in 2007, and he was released in 2010, where the occupation court decided to release him and expel him out of Palestine, deporting him to Syria.
Mercy for the martyrs of Palestine and freedom for the prisoners.
⭕ 🇮🇶 Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq):
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.The zionist enemy, supported by the United States, continues its cowardly treacherous operations against the fighters of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance.
After its military failure in facing the steadfast fighters of Gaza, it commits another assassination crime by targeting the Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, leader Saleh Al-Arouri, and a number of his companions, as well as civilians in Beirut.
The criminality of the zionist entity in dropping tons of bombs on civilians in Gaza and its audacity in targeting civilian sites in Lebanon represents a serious escalation. This is in addition to the zionist aggressions in Syria and Iraq, which would not have occurred without the support of the American administration, aiming to execute its nefarious schemes in the region.
At a time when Kata’ib Hezbollah renew their pledge to spare no effort in expelling the occupiers, they pray to Allah to join this group of martyrs with the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and that they find excellent company in them.
They also pray for Allah to grant patience and solace to their families and loved ones, and [recite] “There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Almighty.”
⭕ Resistance fighters target settler vehicles in Azzun, #Qalqilya with explosive devices and Molotov cocktails.
⭕ The sister of martyred national leader Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri:“Praise be to Allah that our Lord honored us with the martyrdom of Sheikh Saleh. This was his wish he would wish for every day. When he was praying, he would say, ‘O Allah, grant me martyrdom,’ every day.
“I congratulate myself and the Palestinian people on his martyrdom. Palestine is giving. When they assassinate a leader, a greater leader emerges, by Allah’s will.
“Victory is coming. Victory is coming, by Allah’s will. I ask Allah to give them strength and victory. They are already victorious, by Allah’s will. Victory is but an hour’s patience.” |video|
⭕ The mother of martyred national leader Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, assassinated today in Beirut:“May Allah have mercy on his soul. He sacrificed himself for the homeland. He wanted martyrdom, and Allah granted it to him. We congratulate him and the whole world on his martyrdom.
I have not seen [Saleh] in 20 years or more. They exiled him. They imprisoned him for 15 years, freed him, and then arrested him again. They continued to pursue him. 18 years he spent in prison.
They exiled him to Syria, from Syria to Turkey, from Turkey to Qatar, from Qatar… May Allah be pleased with him. He did not spare for the sake of the homeland.”
⭕ 🚨 Following the martyrdom of Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri in a cowardly assassination in Beirut, Lebanon, large demonstrations are taking place all across the West Bank including #Jenin, #AlKhalil, #Qalqilya, and #Tubas as angry youth take the streets pledging allegiance to the resistance.
⭕ 🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, on behalf of its Secretary General, his deputy, its Political Bureau, and its Central Committee, mourns the martyrdom of the great national Qassami leader Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, the Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, along with a group of his martyr brothers in the treacherous zionist strike that targeted them in the southern suburb of Beirut this evening, Tuesday, January 2, 2024.The targeting of Al-Arouri and his brothers comes within the context of the feverish zionist attempts to achieve any field accomplishment to present to their public by the occupation government, after failing to confront the resistance in the field and in achieving any of the goals of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip for nearly three months, despite the bloody massacres and genocide campaigns.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine bids farewell to the steadfast resistant martyr, known in all arenas of struggle and trenches of resistance. A leader keen on Palestinian patriotism, zealous for the unity of the people, the cause, and the resistance, he always held Palestine as the supreme goal above all, [easily] sacrificing his soul for its sake. His actions reflected the qualities of a personality that left a deep impact on everyone who knew him. He played a significant role in seeking common ground and actively participating in the field details of the aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and all over Palestine.
Our Palestinian people, all forces of resistance, the honorable of our nation, and the free people of the world today bid farewell to an exceptional leader known for his bravery, boldness, and unity, calling for the unification of ranks and unity of stance in defense of our people and their just cause. He had the honor of contributing effectively and playing a pivotal leadership role in enhancing and developing the capabilities of the resistance in various fields and arenas.
It is the greatness of the martyrdom embodied by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and its military wing (Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades). Condolences are one to all his brothers in the movement, the martyr’s family, and the ones who love him, and with our people, with the highest expressions of pride and respect. We pledge to the martyr leader and all martyrs to continue the path of struggle and resistance until the full realization of the goals for which they ascended. The blood of the martyrs will not go in vain.
A promise that the enemy’s leaders, generals, and settlers will pay dearly for their crimes, and that the promise and vision of Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri will be fulfilled. The flags of victory will be raised over the entire soil of Palestine, from its river to its sea.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

💠 @Ibn Riad:
⭕ The Zionist monster that has accomplished nothing in Gaza and failed to reach a single leadership figure there, now tries to disguise its failure by martyring Saleh Al-Arouri in a cowardly strike on Beirut.Blessed be your martyrdom, Saleh, and glorious be our coming vengeance.
⭕ On the revolutionary warfare of Gaza’s resistance that extends the battlefield deep into the earth, adding a whole third dimension that renders any 2D mapping of it utterly pointless:Part of the problem with people peddling ‘war maps’ with ‘zones of control’ is they are stuck thinking in two dimensions, while Gaza has a third: depth. No 2D map sufficiently describes the full 3D battlefield, and the resistance’s own control that stretches deep into the earth.
The resistance in Gaza are quite literally redefining our understanding of warfare, and we are required to adjust how we perceive the battlefield in light of this revolution even within the already revolutionary guerilla warfare of our resistance movements.
The fable of battlefield ‘control’ I have discussed before can be better understood when we appreciate that this claimed control is merely a surface-level plane on a shape that extends deep beneath, & as such is deceptively illusory in nature.
In contrast to map-peddlers who fill in bits of a map with MS Paint, close their eyes & pretend all is well, our understanding of the battlefield is actually in line with the reality we witness daily, where the resistance only grows in strength while the IOF continues to retreat.
Of course, most map-peddlers are either Zionists or half-witted fanboys of the US war machine who are still stuck worshipping the supposed supremacy of western armies and aerial bombardment, so they have a lot of catching up to do even before we ask them to add a 3rd dimension.

[…] We assure South Africa’s leaders, history will judge you, and it will judge you without mercy,” Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy told reporters at an online briefing.
⚖️ The Israeli authorities are on alert as the ICJ is under increasing pressure to indict Israel for genocide in the Gaza Strip in response to a petition submitted by South Africa, the Israeli media reported.
Lawyers are already preparing to address the complaint, and a hearing about the topic will take place at the Foreign Ministry on Monday, reports revealed. [The inexorable legal tsunami being built by the BRICS force decisions.. this fractures the world, and within Zone A too. One cannot hedge manifest Annihilation.

⭕ 👷 🚫 🇹🇷 Turkey has informed its allies that it will not allow minesweepers donated by Britain to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to pass through its straits into the Black Sea.👎 The Turkish Center for Combating Disinformation said that the statement of some media that “mine detectors donated to Ukraine by Great Britain were allowed to pass through the Turkish straits into the Black Sea” is untrue .
✍️ Ankara has called Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine a war , and under a provision of the Montreux Convention, Turkey has the right to close the Bosporus and Dardanelles to military vessels.
⏳ Thus, since 1936, Turkey has adhered to this Convention and maintained a principled position throughout the war in order to prevent the escalation of tensions in the Black Sea.
⭕ Death toll in south Beirut rises to 6. According to the latest data, 6 people were killed and 11 more were injured as a result of an Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. The Lebanese News Agency reports that the hostile attack targeted a Hamas office where a meeting of Palestinian factions was being held. It is noted that two rockets were aimed at the Hamas office and escort vehicles parked in front of the building.Yes, the normalization of perversion. Has it always been thus, in the end-stage?? Only the damaged ones, or thoroughly compromised, permitted to rise up the ranks in consequential or influential positions. Certainly it becomes important tool in distraction and titillation too, as even the military joins the breads and circuses department! Every last drop wrung out as to drive Narratives. So sad

⭕ Blinken postpones his fifth (actually sixth) visit to Israel. [🤣🎃]
⭕ Israelis are truly cowards: the Netanyahu government cannot even acknowledge, much less recognize, the assassination of Salah Al-Aroury.They don’t want to bear any responsibility for the attack.
For its part, Washington emphasizes that it was not informed of the Israeli air attack on Beirut then admits to having been informed during the attack…
Well, at this rate, it was an errant Ukrainian S-300 missile that killed the Palestinian Hamas leader in Beirut. [No. He was killed by the western values of the Ministry of Truth]
⭕ “And Blinken who is scared to come to Tel Aviv right now”… “He’s also Israeli. Are they all like that?” asks a Yemeni commentator live from the shores of the Red Sea.
⭕ As a reminder, Salah Al-Aroury is not a native of the Gaza Strip but of Ramallah in the West Bank. He is a native of the town of Aroura where incidents are currently taking place.
⭕ Arrest of suspected Israeli Mossad spies in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon.Infiltrating Hezbollah’s stronghold is not difficult in a country where almost all political parties, with the exception of Lebanese Hezbollah and the Amal movement, are under the thumb of the CIA and French intelligence services.
Some Lebanese political forces are openly pro-Israeli and pro-Zionist. These fairly substantial forces, also supported by Gulf countries, publicly rejoice at the setbacks of Lebanese Hezbollah and loudly wish for the annihilation of the Palestinians.

– The assassination of martyr Al-Arouri in Beirut is a continuation of the crime of assassinating the commander Razi Mousavi in Syria.
– Al-Arouri’s assassination took place in the middle of Beirut’s southern suburbs; it is an assault on Lebanon, its people and its security, and contains a important symbolic and security message.

We consider the crime of assassinating Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri and his fellow martyrs in the heart of the southern suburb of Beirut to be a serious assault on Lebanon, its people, its security, sovereignty, and resistance, and the highly symbolic and significant political and security messages it contains, and a dangerous development in the course of the war between the enemy and the axis of resistance, and we in Hezbollah, we affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment, and that our resistance to its pledge is steadfast, proud, and faithful to its principles and commitments that it has made to itself, its hand is on the trigger, and its resistors are in the highest levels of readiness and preparedness, and this is a memorable day for what follows. For days, great patience and beautiful patience, and God is the one who helps, and victory, God Almighty willing, is very near.
⭕ Martyr Al-Arouri was someone who resisted sectarian divides and always gave praise and credit to the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah for their steadfastness.One of the many reasons to assassinate this figure in particular as he was a symbol of Islamic unity as well as the unity of the fields between the different resistance groups.
Shedding our blood will not only not weaken us, but it will not break our unity either.
💠 @Intel Slava Z:
⭕ The Washington Post, citing the Pentagon, claims that it was Israel that carried out the operation to eliminate Salah al-Arouri in Beirut.A tough response from Hezbollah is expected. Residents of Israeli settlements on the border with Lebanon are advised to stay in shelters.
⭕ After Israel killed the deputy head of the Hamas politburo, the Palestinians suspended all negotiations with Israel on the exchange of hostages. With the current course of the Netanyahu government, it is obvious that a significant part of the hostages are unlikely to survive to be returned to Israel.Israeli demands for the return and exchange of hostages will continue to put increasing pressure on the Netanyahu government.

More than twenty-one thousand Palestinians killed. Eleven thousand of them children. It seems they went after the children, to exterminate them.
Truly, what is being committed in Palestine has no name, it is only comparable to the Jewish Holocaust itself that the Jewish people lived through in the Hitler era… A genocide in broad daylight transmitted live on social networks, and nothing happens.
We shall see… because all these genocides, all these brutalities perhaps will not be paid now, but they will be paid for in the future. And the world that is emerging will one day hold accountable all those who promoted this genocide today…”

This is how the occupation is sustained – by instilling terror in the hearts of innocents. #gaza |video| [who’s terrorized now, to the point shrinks flee the Holy Land due to unbearable work-loads??]
⭕ Before 7 October, I considered an illusion that Israel could one day be defeated. Listening to the Resistance members repeat this narrative, I never believed it.
Now I do.
#Israel is contributing to building a solid Palestinian resistance that will one day defeat it.
⭕ In this world, there should not be a place for murderers & their allies who commit genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes & for government members to vocally admit it & find other governments who cover up their atrocities. All sacrifices for this objective r justified
⭕ Gaza’s resistance inflicting severe casualties on #Israel:
According to #Israel’s Health Ministry’s data, 10,548 soldiers and civilians who were wounded in the war were admitted between October 7 and December 10.An examination conducted by Haaretz with the hospitals where the wounded soldiers have been and are treated shows a considerable and unexplained gap between the data reported by the military (IDF reports 1,593 wounded) and that from the hospitals. The hospitals’ data shows that the number of wounded soldiers is twice as high as the army’s.
For example, Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon alone reports treating 1,949 soldiers hurt in the war since October 7 (out of 3,117 injured people treated there during the war). In contrast, the army reports a total of 1,593 wounded soldiers. Assuta Ashdod reportedly treated 178 patients, Ichilov (Tel Aviv) 148, Rambam (Haifa) 181, Hadassah (Jerusalem) 209 and Sha’arei Tzedek (Jerusalem) 139.
In addition, another 1,000 soldiers were treated at Be’er Sheva’s Soroka Medical Center, while another 650 were treated at Sheba Medical Center in Tel-Hashomer. This is a partial list, as the data does not include soldiers currently in rehab wards who have already been counted as wounded upon arrival at emergency wards and inpatient wards.
Even accounting for various notation and reporting gaps, which may occur in the hospital field, the discrepancy is large between the army’s figures and those of the hospitals. Reporting gaps include duplicate registration of wounded transferred from one hospital to another. It’s also possible that at least some hospitals admitted soldiers requiring medical attention unrelated to the war.
Most of the relevant hospitals keep notes and also operate a situation room dealing with war casualties. Therefore, the reported data refers to soldiers wounded in the war.
The gaps between the army’s data and the hospitals’ data also come into sharp relief in light of Health Ministry statistics maintained on its website. This website displays general casualty data – civilians and soldiers alike. According to the Health Ministry’s data, 10,548 soldiers and civilians who were wounded in the war were admitted between October 7 and December 10. Of those, 131 in hospital, 471 were admitted in severe or critical condition, while 868 were listed in moderate condition.
Additionally, 8,308 suffered minor injuries, 600 suffered anxiety attacks, and the condition of 206 is unknown. The army’s figure of 1,593 wounded soldiers accounts for only 15 per cent of the total number of admissions, which seems unusually low since one would expect a significant portion of the war-related casualties to be soldiers.
The army commented that its figures relate only to soldiers who’ve been classified as unable to return to service.
Another obscure figure, not reported to the public, has to do with wounded security establishment personnel who do not belong to the military and were wounded in the course of wartime duty. These personnel includes special reconnaissance fighters and members of SWAT units, the police, Border Police, Shin Bet and emergency and rescue units like Magen David Adom.
The IDF Spokesperson’s tight oversight regarding wounded military personnel has recently come under much criticism from hospital spokespeople.
In a letter to hospital spokespeople by the head of media at the IDF Spokesperson’s unit, Lt. Col. Adi Barel-Even, the hospitals were asked to report the condition of the soldiers hospitalized at their facilities only once a day, at 1 P.M., and to disseminate only data from the preceding 24 hours, without specifying soldiers whose injuries had not been reported in the preceding IDF Spokesperson’s announcement.
⭕ The most critical point in this attack is NOT the assassination of the #Hamas leader that changes nothing in the course of the war but the attack on Dahiyah. This means #Israel will be bombed and not within the borders but specific strategic objectives
⭕ Bombing #Beirut suburb, regardless of firing 3 missiles in #Hamas’s building to assassinate a leader easy to be replaced, means that #Israel knew the war could be enlarged and take another dimension and hit main Israeli cities today not tomorrow.
⭕ From yesterday, as I shared in this tweet, #Israel was changing its behaviour and was aiming to enlarge the conflict in #Lebanon.
We are starting a new phase of the war now
⭕ Assassinating Saleh al-Arouri in #Beirut is a victory that @Netanyahu has been looking for, [not] to come down from the tree but to start climbing to get to a higher one.
⭕ Expect the Americans, the French and the British ambassadors to rush to the Lebanese officials and ask them to mediate so #Hezbollah de-escalates.
It won’t happen because Hezbollah cannot avoid the response; otherwise, tomorrow, Israel will hit another and then another…
⭕ Western leaders, including #Israel, would claim that it was not an attack against the Lebanese. Therefore, there should not be an escalation.
This is not how it works. You allow Israel to break the ROE, it is done forever, and dozens of target killing follows
⭕ The apartment that al-Aruri occupied was undeclared and private, not a #Hamas known bureau.
⭕ Don’t rush to conclusions: #Hamas leader Saleh Al-Aruri was not in #Gaza directing the war but in #Lebanon. Therefore, the capability of the Palestinian resistance is still intact.
⭕ In the past decades, #Israel killed dozens of the most senior #Hamas leaders, starting with Sheikh Ahmad Yassin and other very senior officials in the political bureau and the military branch, without affecting Hamas’s capability. On the contrary, Hamas grew stronger.
⭕ Israel killed al-Aruri for @Netanyahu to register any kind of victory, careless about the dimension this war could take. Therefore, the assassination was not directed to Hamas but mainly to Hezbollah and to Netanyahu’s personal career as a PM. [agreed. this was to enrage Hezbollah, and cause them to land harder blows which expand war, drawing in Crazy Big Brothers from Lands of the Setting Sun]
⭕ The #US pulled out the USS Ford from the ME, and @Netanyahu is saying: bring it back. My war is not about the Palestinian cause that gained popularity but about #Iran and its allies. Stay next to me and protect me. The longer this war lasts, the better it is for Netanyahu
⭕ However, @Netanyahu knows that #Hezbollah has to respond, and he can’t look like a loser because he achieved nothing in #Gaza after 88 days but also in #Lebanon if Hezbollah retaliates in the heart of #Israel. [what did Crooke just say? The demented yearn to regain lost Glory and Honor? The local zionists put them in zugzwang. They set themselves up to be humiliated by Hezbollah, ruining further the western prestige, necessitating escalation by west in order to maintain any foothold on West Asia, lol]
⭕ Therefore, #Hezbollah’s retaliation will be extremely cautious not to be dragged into an all-out war but, at the same time, ready for a wider war with #Israel in the name of #Palestine
⭕ This will be a challenge for #Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to think about a response that is well-studied.
