Remember the Mossad Agent @Elizrael? Remember how she worked with terrorists in #Syria to wreak havoc in the country?

Remember how she went missing in #Iraq after she had met multiple times with Muqatada Sadr people whom she was working with to start a "new project in Iraq" ?

Well, Iraqi Rabiaa TV broadcasted the confessions of the Zionist Israeli prisoner Elizabeth Tsurkov in Iraq and how she organized demonstrations and tried to create a Shiite-Shiite conflict in Iraq.

🇮🇶🇹🇷 Turkish Armed Forces Conduct Landing Operation in Iraq

In addition to their activities in the Mediterranean, the Turkish Armed Forces carried out a combined attack in northern Iraq last night, targeting positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

▪️ Initially, Bayraktar drones from the Van airbase and Akıncı drones from Batman launched an attack on PKK strongholds northwest of Dahuk. This resulted in the elimination of several PKK members and the destruction of a stronghold.

▪️ Subsequently, a pair of F-16C/D fighters took off from a base in Diyarbakir and attacked Kurdish positions northeast of Dohuk, dropping two guided bombs. An E-7T AWACS aircraft provided air support.

▪️ An hour later, approximately 30 personnel from the Commando mountain brigade of the Turkish army were landed in the area from two AS-532 transport helicopters to assess the results and gather intelligence.

🔻 Under the cover of T-129 Atak attack helicopters and three Akynji UAVs, the servicemen conducted reconnaissance of the area before returning. This operation indicates that Ankara is preparing to increase its activity in Iraq and possibly in Syria as well. Moreover, such a landing allows the Turkish army to evaluate its capabilities and assess the strength of the Kurdish opposition.

🇮🇶🇮 🇷🇺 🇸 And Iraq, as it was the center of gravity of conflicts, remains so, however, like Syria. In addition to regular strikes by the Turkish Air Force in the north and shelling of pro-Iranian groups, American aviation has become more active with renewed vigor.

🔻Since the intensification of attacks by Shiite formations on American bases in Iraq , MQ-1C drones from the Es-Salem airbase, as well as E-11A combat control aircraft from Saudi Arabia, have again begun to fly in batches.

With the entry of the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower into the Persian Gulf in Iraq, as during active battles with the Islamic State, carrier-based F/A-18 fighters resumed flights, which recently carried out several strikes on the outskirts of Kirkuk.

❗️And today, for the first time in a long time, an RC-135V electronic reconnaissance aircraft from Al-Udeid airbase patrolled the border area with Syria from Jordan to the very north of Iraq, probably observing pro-Iranian formations.

Given this and the intensity of aviation activity, in the near future we should certainly expect attacks by American troops on the positions of paramilitary groups affiliated with Iran in Iraq and Syria.

🇮🇶🇸🇾🇹🇷 Turkish troops are continuing their operations in Syria and Iraq. Currently, there are no conditions for the start of the ground phase, and their activities in the border areas mainly consist of regular artillery attacks on the strongholds and positions of Kurdish groups.

🔻In northern Syria, the Turks have reduced their use of artillery in recent days. Near Manbij, Turkish troops targeted several strongholds of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

However, the intensity of these attacks has decreased. This is likely because the Turkish Armed Forces have been rotating their units since December 13. Just two days ago, 196 military personnel arrived in the occupied territories, and the rest are expected to be replaced by December 18.

🔻In Iraq, the situation is different: there has been an increase in missile attacks on the northern regions. Over the past five days, Turkish aircraft, including fighters and drones, have conducted four operations to target PKK hideouts.

It cannot be said that the effectiveness of the Turkish actions has increased in any way. However, it has been noted that they do not require this. Under the pretext of counter-terrorism, the Turks have tested four types of ammunition from the Akıncı, namely Teber-82, MAM-T, MAM-L, and MAM-S.

🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾🇺🇸 To fully comprehend the gravity of the American response to strikes and attacks by fighters of the Ansarallah movement in Yemen, it is necessary to examine the situation in Syria and Iraq, where US military bases are frequently targeted by pro-Iranian forces.

📌 Since October 17, Shiite militias have targeted American military facilities more than 108 times. These facilities, numbering over ten units, have been attacked using drones, homemade rocket launchers, and ballistic missiles.

We have witnessed firsthand the US response to these attacks. While the airstrikes were more powerful in the face of greater damage, they did not critically impact the pro-Iranian groups in the region. In some instances, the Shiites killed several Americans, and in response, the US Armed Forces eliminated their adversaries. That was the extent of it.

Therefore, in the case of Yemen and specifically the Houthis, even a massive missile strike on Ansarallah targets will not significantly affect the capabilities of the Houthis. It will only provide a motive to retaliate against the coalition, setting off an endless cycle of "retaliation strikes."

🇮🇶🇮🇷🇸🇾🇺🇸 About the new phase of the struggle of the "Islamic resistance"

A new round of confrontation between the US Armed Forces and pro-Iranian groups has occurred in Syria and Iraq.

▪️ Last evening, units of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada attacked the Conoco base in the Syrian Trans-Euphrates region (Deir ez-Zor province).

▪️ In response, several American MQ-9A Reaper and MQ-1C drones, taking off from the Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, headed towards the Al-Bukamal-Al-Qaim border crossing in Al-Anbar province and Baghdad.

▪️ One strike hit a Shiite militia base in Jurf al-Sahar, south of the Iraqi capital. Several people died.

▪️ Two UAVs, bypassing Rusafa, flew to Al-Sikka in the Al-Qaim district: an aerial bomb hit pro-Iranian forces.

📌This operation is not extraordinary: it is a typical exchange of blows between the conflicting parties. The reaction from the proxy was predictable: the US military base Conoco was fired upon again.

❗️However, official representatives of the Shiite group have announced that the second phase of operations is beginning, which will include attacks on Israel's port infrastructure.

The distance from the traditional areas where pro-Iranian forces are present to Haifa is about 600 km and a little more to Eilat. With the presence of Iranian weapons, they can easily reach these targets, which will create additional problems for the ultra-Orthodox rule in Israel.

❗️🇮🇶🇸🇾🇺🇸 Tonight, the group known as the "Islamic Resistance in Syria and Iraq," along with factions of the Iraqi militia "Al-Hashd al-Shaabi" (which is mainly composed of pro-Iranian forces), may initiate a new phase of the war against the American contingent in the Middle East.

According to reports, following the murder of Kataib Hezbollah commander Abu Bakr al-Saadi, members of the Iranian forces have been calling for revenge. As a result, the "axis of resistance" is expected to escalate the conflict this weekend.

The exact scale of the upcoming actions is unknown, but based on past experiences, it is likely that there will be widespread launches of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles targeting various locations. There may also be attempts to retaliate and replicate the successful strikes on Tower-22, which is situated on the border of Syria and Jordan.

While it is unlikely that there will be a direct assault on American military bases, tensions may rise in the Green Zone near the embassy in Baghdad.

🇸🇾🇹🇷 From Friday to Sunday, the Turks resumed rocket attacks in northern Iraq. During the three days of the active operation, they carried out more than 30 targeted strikes using various types of weapons.

As part of the attack, F-16C/D fighters from Batman and Diyarbakir air bases, Akıncı and Anka-S drones from Batman and Van, as well as T129 Atak attack helicopters from Yuksekov were involved.

The targets were PKK facilities in the Zap and Metina regions. They hit strongholds in the mountains, underground PKK shelters, and several vehicles with Kurds inside.

❗️The Turkish operation has been extremely ineffective, but that is not important to Turkey. The Turkish leadership is primarily focused on PR for its weapons and demonstrating its fight against terrorism.

It is worth noting that Turkish troops regularly accompany the operation in Iraq with a massive information attack directed against Kurdish forces in order to increase their rating in the eyes of the population, especially amid the growing inflation in the country.

❗️🌍🎞 The escalation of the situation in the Middle East: highlights of the week April 5 - 11, 2024

▪️
In the Red Sea region, Ansar Allah fighters fired another missile at coalition ships. The munition was intercepted on approach by air defense.

▪️In turn, the anti-Houthi coalition air force struck the al Mandhar neighborhood in al Hudaydah province. The strikes hit an air defense unit and a ground observation station. Civilians were also injured.

▪️A few days later, coalition forces again bombed Houthi positions. A series of explosions were recorded near al Hudaydah International Airport and the Al Jabbana area, where an air defense base is located.

▪️In Syria, the Israelis used artillery and air strikes to attack Syrian Armed Forces facilities in Daraa province. The strikes were in response to increasing attacks by pro-Iranian forces from the republic's territory.

▪️Meanwhile, Iranian-backed proxies fired a missile at a US Army base in Deir ez-Zor. The Conoco oil refinery area, which is regularly attacked, came under fire.

▪️On the Greater Idlib fronts, the Syrian Armed Forces continued to attack militant targets using FPV drones. The Syrian government forces targeted the facilities of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist organization.

▪️In Idlib itself, daily demonstrations against Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and its security services continued. Residents of the province demanded the ouster of the group's leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, and the release of prisoners.

🇮🇶🇷🇺🖇️ Yesterday, we participated in a meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, in Baghdad. The format of the meeting did not allow for a wide range of issues to be discussed, but for our team, this was the first such event with the participation of a sitting foreign leader.

Among other things, one point stood out strongly: al-Sudani particularly emphasized the importance of the media and creating conditions to invite foreign journalists instead of obstructing them. According to him, this is the way to break the prevailing stereotypes in the press about the state of affairs in Iraq and create a positive image of the country in the world.

At the same time, the very fact that the head of state is inviting representatives of the Russian information and analytical media network to a meeting speaks to a certain understanding by the Iraqi authorities of the role of Telegram in the modern information war. The importance of which, in al-Sudani's administration, is apparently generally recognized.

And if that's the case, then specific points of contact in this area can quite possibly be found.
