BREAKING: The IRGC has announced that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyah has been assassinated in Iran.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has reacted to the Israeli regime's latest strike on Lebanese soil that led to the killing and injury of several people. Israel’s strikes on Lebanon constitute a flagrant violation of international law, the Russian foreign ministry told TASS. "This is a blatant violation of international law," the ministry said. Local sources in Lebanon reported that several people were killed and injured following an attack conducted by the regime of Tel Aviv on Beirut on Tuesday night.

Reports name target of strike as Fuad Shukr, who heads the Lebanese terror group’s precision missile project and is wanted by US for his role in 1983 Marines barracks bombing.

A loud blast was heard, and a plume of smoke could be seen rising late on Tuesday above the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, a stronghold of the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, a Reuters witness said. The city has been on edge for days ahead of an anticipated Israeli attack in retaliation for a strike on Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights that killed a dozen Druze children and teenagers. Israel and the United States have blamed Hezbollah for the attack. Hezbollah has denied responsibility.

The Washington Post is being mocked online for its perplexing Monday front page photo showing mourners at the funeral of an 11-year-old girl killed by a Hezbollah rocket strike, which the paper paired with a headline about Israeli airstrikes. “Israel hits its targets in Lebanon,” the large-type front-page headline announces, positioned directly under a photo of anguished family members mourning over the coffin of Alma Ayman Fakhr al-Din, 11, one of the 12 kids killed by a Hezbollah rocket strike on a soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights. Another 40 people were injured in the Saturday strike, making it...

Will Proxy Wars in Yemen and Lebanon Ignite a Full-Scale Regional Confrontation? On Saturday, a rocket struck a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams, about 12 kilometers south of Lebanon and near the Syrian border, where dozens of children and teens were playing. Twelve people were killed and 20 others were wounded, according to the Israeli military. Local residents informed Israeli media that an 11-year-old child was missing. The Israeli military spokesperson confirmed the attack, stating that a Falagh-1 missile, manufactured by Iran and equipped with a 53-kilogram explosive warhead, was fired at the location. While Hezbollah...

As bad as you think the media is, it always manages to be worse.. The media routinely plays up civilian casualties in any Israeli air strike. But as the headlines show the game is played very differently when Islamic terrorist attacks kill children. After the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah struck a soccer field in the Israeli Golan Heights killing a dozen Druze children (Druze are a non-Jewish minority group in Israel whose members often serve in the Israeli military), the media did its best to write the most ambiguous headlines possible. Rocket From Lebanon Kills at Least 12 in Israeli-Controlled...

ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza, started discussing that war during a speech praising his country's defence industry."We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them," Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party...

The UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, and UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander, Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lázaro, on Saturday night called for “maximum restraint” between Israel and Lebanon following the rocket attack on Majdal Shams which killed 12 people. “We deplore the death of civilians - young children and teenagers - in Majdal Shams. Civilians must be protected at all times,” the two said in a statement. “We urge the parties to exercise maximum restraint and to put a stop to the ongoing intensified exchanges of fire. It could ignite a wider conflagration that would engulf the...

So arrogant Hezbollah is embarrassed. In its deadliest attack on Israel since Oct 7, it actually killed Arab kids... at a soccer field, Majdal Shams - 07.27.24. Last time a Druze's (Tiran Fero) body was snatched (Nov 23, 2022) by "palestinian" Arab terrorists, they spoke in their own language and kidnapped a few palestine Arabs and threatened, and it worked. Besides, the Hezbollah don't want a Druze rebellion in Syria... Meantime their bosses in Iran try to use their media (and paid Grayzone", "intercept", the infamous hate site (even WaPo defined it as such already years ago: "Mondoweiss") and other...

The Iran-backed terrorist movement Hezbollah on Saturday rained down rockets on Israel, with at least one hitting a soccer field where children were playing in the northern Israeli town of Majdal Shams right by the border with Syria. Initial reports say at least 10 dead and 29 injured, many thought to be children. The soccer field in the majority Druze town is a scene of shocking violence and the most devastating loss of life in the north since Hezbollah entered the war on behalf of the terrorist entity Hamas on Oct. 7. The Magen David Adom ambulance service says the...

The evidence doesn’t lie only in the events of the last few days. It’s clear from Kamala’s long history of actions and statements regarding Iran, Islam, and Israel. If you’re a pro-American conservative, there are dozens of reasons to find Kamala Harris concerning, from borders to defunding the police to climate change to her DEI obsessions and so much more. And if you’re also a pro-Israel conservative, you must be very wary of her stance toward Israel. Despite an apparently full-throated condemnation of the pro-Hamas protesters in D.C. the other day and her statement about supporting Israel after meeting with...

MAGDALA, Israel — Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, said Saturday that Israel faces “all-out war” after a rocket fired by Hezbollah at the Israeli Druze Arab village of Majdal Shams killed at least nine people, including children, on Saturday evening. Children from ages ten to twelve were playing a soccer game when the rocket hit the field. According to an eyewitness interviewed by Israel’s Channel 13, a warning siren only sounded as the impact happened.

An MP for the radical-left France Unbowed party has sparked outrage after saying Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Paris Olympics and calling for protests against their presence. Citing Israel’s war in Gaza, Thomas Portes told a pro-Palestinian gathering in Paris on Saturday: “We are just a few days away from an international event to be held in Paris, the Olympic Games. And I’m here to say that no, the Israeli delegation is not welcome in Paris. Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Olympic Games in Paris. We have to use this deadline and all the levers we...

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office praised former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for his record of achievements in protecting Israel and promoting peace between Israel and neighboring Arab states. “Israelis and the prime minister remember very, very well the incredible support which President Trump, while he was in office, gave to this country,” said Israeli government spokesman David Mencer. Mencer was reacting to news that Trump had reposted Netanyahu’s message of support following the attempted assassination on the former U.S. president on Saturday. Netanyahu expressed his relief that Trump had survived, offered best wishes for his...

The Unholy Alliance - as morbid as ever. Vice President Kamala Harris demonstrated once again why she would be a disastrous president if she were to succeed cognitively impaired Joe Biden. She just expressed her sympathy with the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, anti-American agitators in an interview published on July 8th by the left-wing Nation Magazine.“They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza,” said Vice President Harris, referring to the anti-Semitic demonstrators. “There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But...

ISTANBUL, July 12 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday it is not possible for NATO to continue its partnership with the Israeli administration.

Erdogan said as well that he has instructed Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to start to restore relations with Syria.
