🇮🇱🇸🇾 Israel now controls more than 30% of Syria's water

The Israeli air force launched a violent attack near the Syrian capital of Damascus on 2 January, coming as Israel’s military continues to expand its occupation in the country, reaching a key dam in the southern Quneitra area.

Israel's recent expansion in Syria, which began immediately after the fall of the Assad government, has seen invading troops seize precious water sources such as the Al-Wahda Dam on the Yarmouk River Basin and others. Syrian and Israeli sources, as well as Carmel News citing an Iranian source, reported last month that Israel now controls 30 percent of Syria's water supply and 40 percent of Jordan's.

🇱🇧❌🇮🇱📞🇺🇸 — Israeli Broadcasting Authority:

Israel will inform Washington that it will not withdraw from Lebanon because the Lebanese army does not abide by the agreement and Hezbollah is reorganizing its ranks

🇮🇱❌🇱🇧 — Secretary general of Hezbollah Sheikh Naim Qassem: [click to expand]

➡️We faced an unprecedented aggression, and we stood firm and broke the back of Israel. Offering sacrifices is the way to remain honorable, and the resistance will continue.

➡️What happened in the Battle of "Uli al-Bas" cut off the path to Israel's hopes in Lebanon.

➡️What happened in Syria could have happened in Lebanon, and I believe that in the future the Syrian people will have a role in confronting Israel.

➡️Resistance is our choice to liberate the land, protect sovereignty, support Palestine, and the right to confront the expansionist Israeli occupation.

➡️The resistance leadership is the one that decides when to resist, how to resist, the method of resistance, and the weapon to use.

➡️There is no timetable for the resistance’s performance, neither by agreement nor after the end of the 60 days.

➡️Our patience is linked to our decision about the appropriate timing, and the leadership of the resistance is the one who decides when to be patient, when to take the initiative, and when to respond.

🇮🇱❌🇱🇧 — Secretary general of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem:

➡️In the 2024 aggression, Israel paid a heavy price without being able to advance more than a few hundred meters at the front edge, and this is a deterrent

➡️The enemy was forced to request a ceasefire due to the resistance’s capabilities, and we agreed through the Lebanese state.
