Hezbollah terrorists launch massive rocket attack on Israel amid mounting tensions

Middle East Eye

Hezbollah began skirmishes along Lebanon's southern border in solidarity with the Palestinian enclave and to relieve pressure on Hamas. Since then, the Lebanese movement has proven itself capable of downing several advanced Hermes 900 drones, firing anti-aircraft missiles against Israeli jets, which it claims forced them to retreat, and even carrying out a symbolic strike against an Iron Dome air defence unit.

The U.S.and many other Western and non-Western countries have designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday accused the Qatari regime-owned Al Jazeera news organization of employing a Hamas terrorist whose family held three of the hostages freed in Saturday's IDF raid.

Fox News

The IDF wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "'Journalist' Abdallah Aljamal was a Hamas terrorist holding Almog, Andrey and Shlomi hostage in his family’s home in Nuseirat. No press vest can make him innocent of the crimes he has committed. @AlJazeera what’s this terrorist doing on your website?"

Al Jazeera reporters have been embroiled in supporting terrorism over the years, according to a detailed May updated report published by the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) titled "Al-Jazeera Arabic: The Qatari-owned TV channel that promotes Islamist terrorism worldwide."

Middle East Eye

On Saturday, an Israeli military operation to free four Israelis held captive by Hamas since its 7 October attack on Israel resulted in the killing of more than 270 Palestinians, many of them women and children. The true death toll may never be known. Untold numbers of men, women and children are still under rubble from the bombardment, crushed to death, or trapped and suffocating, or expiring slowly from dehydration if they cannot be dug out in time.

Middle East Eye

Imagine describing in similarly positive terms an operation by Hamas that killed 270 Israelis to liberate a handful of the many hundreds of medical personnel kidnapped from Gaza by Israel in recent months and known to be held in a torture facility. The London Times, meanwhile, breezily erased Saturday’s massacre of Palestinians by characterising the operation as a 'surgical strike'.

Middle East Eye

Media outlets uniformly hailed the operation as a 'success' and 'daring', as though the killing and maiming of around a thousand Palestinians - and the serial war crimes Israel committed in the process - need not be factored in.

The details of the joint US-Israeli military operation that killed and wounded almost 1,000 Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday hardly speak of the celebratory heroism or precision that western media headlines gushingly splayed on their front pages.

The activity is being conducted as efforts are continuing to be made in order to prevent harm to uninvolved civilians in the area. The troops are engaging with terrorists in close-quarters combat and locating terror tunnel shafts, weapons, and additional terrorist infrastructure in the area," the IDF said.

The Biden administration on Tuesday denied that Israel violated its red line against launching a full-scale assault on Rafah, even as Israeli tanks were reported rolling into the centre of the besieged southern Gaza border town.

Middle East Eye

On Sunday, at least 45 people were killed and dozens more wounded, most of them women and children, when Israel struck a tent camp housing displaced Palestinians in the Tel al-Sultan neighbourhood of western Rafah. That strike led Hamas to inform mediators it was ending its participation in ceasefire talks aimed at ending the war on Gaza, Middle East Eye reported.

Fox News

The Israel Defense Forces said its operations in the city continue in the Rafah area but did not comment on whether its forces advanced to the city center. "Overnight, IDF troops operated on the Philadelphi Corridor while conducting precise operational activity based on intelligence indicating the presence of terror targets in the area," the IDF said.
