🇮🇱 ❌ 🇱🇧 ⚡️ — Lebanese MP Hassan Fadlallah urges urgent government action amid ongoing Israeli aggression

🔴 The Lebanese state has not yet extended its sovereignty, protected its people, or provided necessary care amid continuous Israeli attacks.

🔴 Lebanon is unstable with insecurity, ongoing violence in the south, attacks in the Bekaa, occupied land, prisoners in jails, destroyed homes, and displaced villages.

🔴 Israeli occupation is identified as the main problem for both the people and the government and should not be transferred into internal Lebanese conflicts.

🔴 A renewed call was made to the government to accelerate all necessary steps, especially with countries sponsoring the ceasefire agreement, to stop aggression, liberate land, and recover prisoners.

🇸🇾 🇹🇷 🇫🇷 ⚡️ — REPORT: Elements of the Syrian Interior Ministry entered Qamishli, marking the effective demise of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).

🔴 The January 30 agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces sets a blueprint for gradual integration of AANES institutions under Damascus rather than an unconditional Kurdish surrender.

🔴 A month ago Kurds controlled ~1/3 of Syria with their own forces, resources and border crossings; Syrian entry follows loss of Raqqa and Deir al-Zor and prevented an all-out assault after Kurdish mobilization and representations to the US and France.

🔴 The move consolidates the Sunni Islamist-led Damascus project to rebuild centralized Sunni Arab authority and signals a historic shift in Syria’s sectarian balance of power.

🔴 Pakistan’s leadership (Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif) blamed India-backed proxies; India called the accusation “baseless and pointless.”

🇮🇱 ❌ 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 ❗️ — Hamas sources told Asharq Al-Awsat how hostages were kept during the war. Sources revealed that during each ceasefire, meetings were held among factions to determine which hostages each faction held. Some hostages were transferred to the custody of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which have superior military capabilities compared to other factions.

🔴 The sources added that deceased hostages were kept in graves within tunnels, cemetery areas, or faction-controlled points with infrastructure to preserve deceased hostages. Many hostages were moved from the northern to the southern part of the sector.

🔴 According to the sources, the Israeli army was sometimes just meters away from the hostages, but their guards managed to deceive the forces and prevent them from reaching the hostages or moved the hostages through alternative routes. Some hostages were in tunnels located beneath Israeli army gathering points.
