🇱🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: Hezbollah destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank advancing on Labbouneh in western Lebanon

The ATGM pierced the tank's armor, igniting its ammunition and exploding the interior, killing all those inside. The burning tank was filmed by Al-Mayadeen camera crews.

— Note: Contrary to some reports, the Iranian Foreign Minister is in Egypt to discuss the possibility of resuming bilateral ties between Iran and Egypt, and to discuss the situations in Gaza and Lebanon

Iran has not, and will never, communicate or 'negotiate' with Israel, even indirectly, and this has been official policy for 45 years. The government does not recognize the Zionist entity as a legitimate state, therefore any direct or indirect contact with its 'officials' or 'representatives' is impossible.

If Iran wants to send a message, they will do so by making public statements, and if necessary, by conveying information to Arab nations like Qatar and Oman who will pass it onto the United States, which will then probably inform Israel.

Besides, there is currently no need nor any benefit in negotiation: There is simply no 'option' or 'way out' if Israel strikes Iran. The Islamic Republic will strike back, and the response will be harsh and overwhelming.

Dumbass kite-shaped looking mega dorito, bombing the Houthis for the 6 gorillionth time in 10 years won't change anything.

Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result.
— I know I don't talk about religion often in here, but I want you all to know that I'm truly and sincerely doing this for the sake of God Almighty, and for Him alone.

Fighting for truth and justice against falsehood and oppression is one of our divine commands within Islam, taught to us by the Prophet ‎ﷺ and his pure Household عليهم السلام.

No matter the costs of this path, no matter the sacrifices, we continue. Not only is this a divine duty, it is also a humanitarian one. Imam Ali عليه السلام the son-in-law of the Prophet ‎ﷺ said: 'He whom is not your brother in faith, is at least your equal in humanity.'

Standing up for the oppressed is a noble and just cause, whether it is the people of Gaza, the people of Lebanon, the people of Syria, Kashmir, Sudan, Donbass or Artsakh, they all deserve a voice.

We aim to be that voice, the voice of the voiceless, and thanks to God Almighty, with the help of thousands of like-minded people across the world, we as independent news outlets have managed to expose Israeli and American war crimes to the world. Our narrative is finally becoming mainstream. People are finally opening their eyes.

I truly believe this generation will be the one to make the change, the generation that will no longer accept injustice, degeneracy and perversion. The generation that will build our world as a new, better place. InshaAllah.

❗️🇮🇱/🇵🇸 CONFIRMED: Israel has taken custody of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's body – he has indeed been killed, apparently by a tank shell, not an airstrike

@Middle_East_Spectator
It's 99% certain that Khaled Meshaal will become the new leader of Hamas.
🇮🇱/🇵🇸 NEW: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was found above ground, wearing a combat vest and with an AK by his side, together with two of his bodyguards

He was not hiding in a tunnel, nor was he hiding amongst civilians or Israeli hostages. He was besides his own fighters, right at the line of confrontation with the IDF.

After all these months, he was not killed by an airstrike or a targeted assassination; allegedly an Israeli soldier found his body by complete coincidence, after an IDF tank fired at Hamas fighters in the building.
