I heard from a reliable source that Michael Jackson is in the secret basement of Sednaya prison. He is stuck with 6 million other prisoners, but they can't find the entrance.
โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Iranian Foreign Ministry: 'We strongly condemn the Israeli attacks on Syrian infrastructure and the occupation of some parts of the Syrian Golan Heights. Regardless of who is in charge in Syria, any type of Zionist aggression must be condemned. There is no time for grievances.'

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€” More than 350 Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian territory in the past hours, and an Israeli occupation of Syrian territory equivalent to twice the size of the Gaza Strip, and their army is less than 40 km away from the capital Damascus.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท HTS-affiliated media: 'Jolani wants relations with all regional countries, Iran cannot be ignored as a regional player, and we can't afford to have them as an open enemy, despite the evil they have done.'

> Gets fucked by Israel
> 'Maybe Iran isn't so bad...'
So predictable
โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง A source close to the IRGC: 'There is no worry about Hezbollah's supply lines. Many different scenarios have alternative plans that we have prepared for in advance.'

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ 'Iran Military Capabilities', a channel close to the IRGC:

'There are some basic fundamental points on which any possible Iranian cooperation with the new Syrian government must be based:

โ€“ Agreeing on the prohibition of normalization between Syria and the Israeli enemy.

โ€“ Rejecting the Israeli incursion into Syrian territory and confronting it by all means, including military means.

โ€“ Protecting Syria's religious minorities, not attacking neighboring countries, and prohibiting terrorist activities and canceling the support for such activities.

Iran and the Axis of Resistance will support any non-sectarian Syrian government that rejects the Zionist regime, stands with the Palestinian people, and places the issue of Palestine and its people among its priorities.'

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Syrian Civil Defense (White Helmets):

'The search for possible detainees in secret dungeons of the Assad regime's infamous 'Sednaya prison' in Damascus has ended without finding any.

Specialized teams from the White Helmets conducted a thorough search of all sections, facilities, basements, courtyards, and surrounding areas of the prison. These operations were carried out with the assistance of individuals familiar with the prison and its layout. The operation also involved five teams, including two K9 units.

The teams inspected all entrances, exits, ventilation shafts, sewage systems, water pipes, electrical wiring, and surveillance camera cables.

Despite these extensive efforts, we have not found any evidence to confirm the existence of secret basements or undiscovered dungeons in Sednaya prison.'

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ/๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง NEW: The IDF seems to be advancing along the Lebanese border, I don't like the look of this

It could just be to secure a 'buffer zone' in Syria as Israel says. But Israel has long considered entering Lebanon through Syria, bypassing Hezbollah's main defense lines.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ The current situation (map may not be fully updated):

Israel's initial stated goal was to 'temporarily take control over the UN-supervised zone' in the Syrian Golan Heights, including Quneitra.

However, they have since then moved past the 1974 'Line Bravo', and entered the Western Damascus Countryside. Their exact motives are currently unknown.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ/๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ/๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Reminder: In April of this year, the IDF detonated dozens of minefields located in the occupied Golan Heights

In a future ground offensive against Hezbollah, the IDF might enter Lebanon by passing through the Golan Heights and western Syria, bypassing the heavily fortified Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, where they failed in 2006.

Syria could become a very important part in any upcoming full-scale war.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท The backstabbing has started: Motasem Dalloul, a Gaza-based journalist who lost much of his family due to Israeli bombings, widely considered a hero of journalism, now blames Iran and Hezbollah for the situation in Gaza I have told people this countlessโ€ฆ
โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ This guy just claimed a few hours ago that Sednaya prison contained 150,000 (150 THOUSAND) secret prisoners

Of course, this is completely false, even the White Helmets admitted a maximum of 4000 prisoners in their statement.

If they maintain these ridiculous lies even now Assad is gone, imagine the lies they were willing to invent when he was still in power.
