🇮🇱🇾🇪On the non-obvious results of the Israeli Air Force attack on Al-Hudaydah

Starting from April 2022, a fragile peace has been maintained on the territory of Yemen between the previously warring Ansar Allah movement and the internationally recognized government of Yemen, headed by its chairman Rashad al-Alimi, affiliated with Saudi Arabia.

And if the latter initially supported the strikes of the American-British coalition on the territory of Yemen, then after the attack of the Israeli Air Force on the port of Al-Hudaydah, the situation changed somewhat - the once warring parties were finally able to agree on de-escalating tensions.

In particular, this was expressed in the initiation of meetings to discuss long-standing issues, including the further peaceful settlement of the conflict and the establishment of economic ties to ensure a stable situation throughout the territory of Yemen.

📌Apparently, the resonant strike of the Israelis pushed the warring parties to an agreement against the background of the risks of an even greater deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the country. The fact is that the port of Al-Hudaydah is a key point for the import of fuel and humanitarian aid into Yemen.

And in case of its shutdown, the parties need to agree on alternative supply routes, which is essentially what was done - it was possible to agree on the resumption of flights of the national airline Yemenia Airways, as well as the mutual cancellation of banking restrictions for the subsequent establishment of trade ties.

🔻Nevertheless, it is not worth expecting that the parties will be able to fully resolve the conflict in the near future. At the moment, we are talking only about an attempt to temporarily mitigate the confrontation against the background of the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the risk of another round of tension between the Houthis and the groups supported by Saudi Arabia.

❗️🇮🇱🇱🇧 So, the death of Fuad Shukri has been officially confirmed by Hezbollah's press service. The hopes of many Arabic-speaking commentators that one of the group's leaders had survived have been dashed.

Shukri's death is the biggest loss in terms of status, given that he was considered the second-in-command of the organization. And this fact essentially obliges a serious response.

Against this background, the US State Department has already called on American citizens to refrain from traveling to Lebanon in anticipation of Hezbollah's response. In northern Israel, everyone is on alert to repel massive strikes.

🔻As we can see, the Israelis are consistently raising the level of tension. Literally a few months ago, the targets of the attacks were low-level commanders, and now they are the very leaders of the group.

Where all this is leading - we think there's no need to explain. The current Israeli authorities need a continuation of the war by any means to maintain power. First, the killing of the second-in-command after Nasrallah, and then the head of Hamas, and voila - just wait for the reaction.

And then it will always be possible to say that the outbreak of war is the work of Iran and its proxies, and the Israelis were just defending themselves.

⚡️ ⭕️ Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor:

📌 The #Gaza Strip records daily deaths of patients and wounded as a result of the blockade and #Israel's prevention of the entry of medical supplies and medicines and its destruction of the health sector.

📌 Deprivation of necessary treatment, food and other materials essential for survival is a slow death for those who were not directly killed by #Israeli military attacks.

📌 We receive dozens of complaints daily from #Palestinians who need to travel or travel for their relatives to receive life-saving treatment outside the #Gaza Strip, in light of the majority of hospitals being out of service due to the blockade and #Israeli targeting.

📌 The health crisis has been seriously worsening since #Israel closed the #Rafah land crossing with #Egypt last May, which prevented thousands of wounded and sick people from traveling to receive treatment and led to the death of hundreds of them so far.

▫️ Data from the #Palestinian Ministry of Health in #Gaza indicate that there are more than 12,000 wounded and 14,000 patients in need of urgent external transfer to save lives.

📌These are part of the tens of thousands who are in dire need of travel to complete treatment or receive essential health and rehabilitation services that are not available in the #Gaza Strip.

📌Deaths due to the lack of medicines or treatment or the lack of adequate health care are in the dozens daily and they are not officially counted among the victims of the ongoing #Israeli military attacks.

📌The data indicates a significant increase in the death rate in the #Gaza Strip during the past months compared to the same period in the previous two years, and this is related to hospitals being out of service and the collapse of the health system as a result of systematic #Israeli targeting.

📌We warn that thousands of cancer patients are facing severe suffering and are threatened with death due to the lack of treatment and their need to be transferred to travel to receive chemotherapy doses.

📌The ongoing siege and closure of crossings after the #Israeli destruction of hospitals and health facilities in #Gaza and putting most of them out of service means an #Israeli decision to carry out a mass execution of patients and the injured and deliberately kill them.

📌Israel is committing full-fledged war crimes against hospitals and protected persons, including the wounded and sick in #Gaza, without respecting the rules of international law.

📌Urgent action is required to lift the siege on #Gaza, bring in medical supplies to save the lives of sick and wounded civilians, guarantee the right to travel for treatment for patients, bring in the necessary supplies to rebuild the health system immediately, and ensure its protection from #Israeli targeting.

🇦🇲🇮🇷🇦🇿🇮🇱 On the security challenges facing Armenia amid the confrontation between Iran and Israel

Armenian MP Tigran Abramyan accuses the Armenian authorities of complete inaction regarding the tense situation in the region and in the context of the escalation between Iran and Israel.

▪️Abramyan points out that discussions have intensified in Iranian circles about the location of Israeli secret military facilities in the occupied territories of Artsakh and that they pose a real threat.

▪️Israel's support for Azerbaijan in the Karabakh conflict has long been known. In Tel Aviv, they sold weapons worth billions of dollars to the Azerbaijanis, and Israeli intelligence and military played a key role in planning and approving the operation in Artsakh.

▪️In addition to the commercial interest of the Israelis in supporting Azerbaijan (arms sales and oil purchases), the opportunity to approach the borders of Iran through Artsakh played a key role.

▪️So it would not be surprising if Baku indeed agreed to the deployment of Israeli bases in Artsakh in exchange for comprehensive support.

▪️At the same time, for Iran, the sovereignty of Armenia is perhaps much more important than for the current Armenian authorities. In Tehran, they have been declaring daily in recent times that they do not accept changes to the borders in the region, referring to the situation around the Syunik region and the opening of the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" through Armenia, which is supposed to connect Turkey and Azerbaijan.

▪️Recently, Baku unexpectedly announced that they had agreed to exclude the issue of the corridor from the peace treaty with Armenia and postpone it for later. The unexpected compromise is associated with Azerbaijan's desire to conclude a peace treaty with Armenia as soon as possible.

▪️However, it cannot be ruled out that the position of Iran and its threats against Israel also prompted the postponement of the corridor issue, among other things. This is evidenced, in particular, by the fact that the IDF decided to withdraw its troops from Azerbaijan due to fear of retaliation from Iran.

▪️Another sensitive issue for Iran and Armenia remains the possible deployment of Israeli missiles in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, an Azerbaijani exclave.

🔻The tensions of recent weeks in the region are clearly passing by Armenian diplomacy, which remains silent and does not express a single reproach against the regional players who threaten Armenia's security.

This situation is another proof that Armenia is losing its political sovereignty and the opinion of Yerevan is simply not of interest to anyone.

⚡️ #Urgent Suleiman Masouda..was:

👈While the #Israeli delegation arrived in Doha early.

The negotiations started a little late at five in the evening.

👈Accordingly, a decision was made to continue the negotiations tomorrow, Friday as well.

- Suleiman added:
👈From what we heard, the presence of the #Israeli delegation there tomorrow depends on the atmosphere that will prevail in the negotiations.

👈And the points of disagreement that are being discussed today in closed rooms are related to the following:
👈The ceasefire mechanism and the transition from the first phase to the second on the 17th day of the first phase, which means "ending the war".
👈Control of the #Rafah crossing and the Philadelphi axis.
👈The mechanism for inspecting and examining those returning to northern #Gaza via the Netzarim axis.
👈The number of living #Israeli prisoners within the humanitarian deal.
👈"Here, #Israel is trying to obtain the largest possible number of living ones".
👈 Veto power on the list of #Palestinian prisoners to be included in the deal.

According to what I understand, there is no agreement yet between the two parties by the end of the first round of negotiations today.

- Suleiman adds:

👈 The expanded political and security cabinet will meet shortly and will receive an update from the head of the Mossad during the meeting.
👈 On the progress of the negotiations today.

🇮🇱🇸🇾 A few days after a massive air strike, Israeli forces have again attacked Syrian territory: a drone strike hit a vehicle on the El-Kuneitra - Damascus road.

As a result of the car explosion, two people were killed and several others nearby were injured. According to Israeli media, one of the killed was a combatant, and the other was a civilian.

Given the nature of such attacks, the likely targets of the Israelis were either a fighter from the Lebanese "Hezbollah", or a field commander of one of the Palestinian groups that have branches in Syria.

For example, recently during a targeted strike on a vehicle on the Damascus - Beirut international highway, both members of the military wing of the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" and Hezbollah were killed simultaneously.

🇮🇱🇸🇾 For the second night in a row, the Israeli military has struck rural areas near Damascus. This time, the Israel Defense Forces targeted the small settlement of Beit Saber, located near the occupied Golan Heights.

An Israeli drone attacked one of the residential houses, resulting in the elimination of Ahmed Muhammad Fahd - one of the leaders of Hamas in southern the Syrian Arab Republic, who organized rocket attacks on IDF targets.

His wife was killed along with him, and another person was injured. Notably, the Israeli press service reported only the elimination of Fahd, who allegedly planned to carry out a new attack in the near future.

Also, around midnight, Israeli aviation intercepted a drone launched by pro-Iranian groups near the small town of Al-Quneitra. According to statements from the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq", the drone's target was some object in the Golan Heights.

❗️🇮🇱🇮🇷🇷🇺 Potential threat to the Russian Khmeimim airbase in Syria from Israel!

This morning, news spread in the Arab segment that the Israeli Air Force had struck the territory of the Russian Khmeimim airbase. It turned out that the attack was actually carried out on the city of Jableh, which is located nearby.

Some of the missiles were shot down by the Russian air defense forces, but some reached their target. The target of the attack was a warehouse used by Syrian and Iranian military personnel. The Israelis used Delilah anti-radiation cruise missiles and, according to some reports, GBU guided bombs for the attack.

There was no strike on Khmeimim itself. And in principle, such an attack was unlikely at this stage, as it would have led to unnecessary escalation. However, the Syrians have even more questions about why the Russian air defenses did not help repel the Israeli Air Force attacks.

❗️This incident adds another brick to the wall of distrust from the Syrians towards Russia. Even though the target was Jableh, the Israeli missiles posed a serious threat. An explosion, the detonation of warehouses used by Iranians, Syrians, whoever - this is a threat to the base.

And this doesn't even touch on how it looks from the Iranian side. After all, nothing prevents the Israelis from running a disinformation campaign and claiming that it was the Russians who leaked the location of the Iranians (such a narrative is probably already being spread through militant-controlled media resources).

And given that the Israelis are acting with impunity now, while the Russian side is limited to calls to stop the escalation of violence and return to the negotiating table, such incidents may increase in scale in the future and lead to more tragic consequences.

🔻For example, striking the territory of the Russian airbase, that is, de facto the territory of the Russian Federation on the territory of Syria, under the pretext that there will be an Iranian delegation or plane there. And the Iranians, we recall, are allies of Russia (not long ago, a strategic agreement was signed, which suggests that we basically have a common enemy and a common course towards the Israelis). But in fact, this is all just words for now.

❗️Thus, serious reputational damage is being inflicted on the Russian military contingent. And the Israelis see that if the Russians did not intervene now, they can continue further. And who can guarantee that the ultra-Orthodox government will not choose the Khmeimim airbase as the next target?

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 According to journalists from The Wall Street Journal, the Israeli government is refusing to share details of its plans for retaliation against Iran with the Biden administration.

American officials are frustrated that they have been repeatedly "caught off guard" by Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and they are trying to prevent further escalation.

However, the US does not have information on the timing and targets of the alleged strike, and Washington had expected to receive this data during the visit of Defense Minister Gallant, which was postponed at Netanyahu's request.

🔻It sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

Especially after the media trumpeted that the Israelis had notified the US about planned assassinations of Hassan Nasrallah and the start of an operation in Lebanon. And before that, about the progress of other events in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli leadership provides the Americans more than enough information. And the Pentagon was directly involved in planning the response to Iranian attacks. Do you think that's why the head of Central Command, Michael Kurilla, came to Israel.

But the picture of US ignorance in the controlled media is needed to justify why the White House does not prevent the Israelis from committing genocide against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. Namely, that the US is completely unaware.
