Israel state terrorism

A top Iranian military adviser has been martyred in an Israeli attack in the Syrian Capital. Seyyed Razi Mousavi was assassinated in a missile strike on a neighborhood near the Sayida Zainab shrine in Damascus. Brigadier General Mousavi was a top commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in Syria. He was a comrade of late commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani who was assassinated in a US attack near Baghdad International airport in 2020. Mousavi was in charge of the resistance front’s logistics in Syria. The IRGC has stressed in a statement that the usurper Zionist regime will definitely pay for the assassination.

Genocide in Gaza

It’s been 80 days since Israel launched its onslaught on Gaza. The regime has carried out fresh strikes that dovetail with the narrative that the onslaught is actually a genocidal war. At least 95 people have been killed in the strike on the Al-Maghazi camp in central Gaza. The air raid also injured dozens of others. Gaza’s government office has once again urged the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop its genocide. The resistance movement, Hamas, also described the bombardment as a horrific massacre. Other areas across Gaza also witnessed new strikes. In Deir al-Balah, seven people lost their lives after warplanes bombed a residential building. Another airstrike killed around two dozen Palestinians in the southern city of Khan Yunis. To the north, the regime’s bombardment killed ten members of a family in the Jabalia camp. The total death toll is now stands at over 20,400, most of them women and children.

Israeli military "smashed"

Hamas Leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar says Palestinian resistance fighters have smashed the Israeli army in a fierce and unprecedented battle in Gaza. In a letter to the Hamas politburo, Sinwar said the al-Qassam Brigades, the movement's military wing, has inflicted substantial losses on Israeli forces and equipment during the regime's onslaught against Gaza. According to Sinwar, some 5,000 Israeli forces have been killed or injured, and more than 750 military vehicles have been damaged. He emphasized that Hamas will persist in crushing the Israeli military, and will not yield to the regime's conditions. This is the first public statement by the Hamas leader since Israel began the carnage on October the 7th. The Israeli army had claimed to have destroyed Sinwar's house in Gaza, finding his shoes at the attack site; a claim ridiculed by the Israeli media.
