Palestinians in #Gaza expressed disbelief at the infiltration into #Israel. "It is like a dream. I still can't believe it," said one Gaza shopkeeper.
The attack came a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war that brought the country to the verge of catastrophic defeat in a surprise attack by #Syria and #Egypt. #YomKippurWar
The drums of war have become very loud, and very close.
If nothing changes, we will wake up tomorrow with a widespread war involving all iranian Proxies from #Lebanon to #Iraq to #Syria to Palestine attacking Israel, and #USA attacking all of them, with #Israel going into Gaza.
The Israeli military has conducted missile strikes against Iran, a snr #UnitedStates#military ofcl told NPR Thurs. There are also reports of explosions in #Iraq & #Syria.
Iran's Fars News Agency says explosions were heard in the central city of #Isfahan, according to the Reuters News Agency.
The extent of Israel's strikes & the weapons used weren't clear.
#Israel-#Hamas conflict is escalating and spilling into #Syria. They are not just Israeli strikes but also #Turkish.
And Türkiye isn't doing it just for giggles but in response to an attack on government facilities in Ankara. Terrorists backed by Syria & #Iran want to expand the conflict using Syrian territory.
There'll be more bloodshed, but as horrible as that sounds, US should stay out militarily until after #Election2024
Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence....
Oh boy. So Biden is bombing the Huthis and randomly civilians in #Syria and now Putin is bombing ISIS in Syria and attacking Israel? Sounds like a recipe for a proxy WWIII.
Erdogan: “Turkey will take 'necessary action' against shooting down of its drone by US”
#Erdogan annihilated the water & power infrastructure for 3+ million people in Syria.
Turkey targeted 200+ locations in areas held by the #AANES, including power stations, water & energy facilities, hospitals, & schools.
The destruction of #Kurdish infrastructure amounts to war crimes and cannot be described as anything less than that.
Turkey is a terrorist state. Why is Turkey committing genocide in Syria?
2019 #Putin denies any links between "private military companies" and #Russia state when asked about "Wagner" in #Syria
2023 Putin moans about Russian state spending 84 billion rubles for "Wagner" from state and defense budgets, plus additionally moans about "the owner" earning through catering contracts with Russian state.
Yet another lesson that whatever Putin says and swears today he will say exactly the opposite tomorrow without even blinking.
A massive military convoy belonging to U.S. forces entering from northern Iraq, consisting of 63 trucks loaded with military equipment, logistical supplies, and MIM-23 Hawk air defense systems.
Probably the most cynical but also widespread manipulation is when #Hamas supporters post photos from #Syria presenting them as photos from #Gaza and #Palestine. Which is quite popular trick, because Assad’s merciless war on Syrian civilians produced thousands of dramatic photos of ruined towns and people bombed, executed or poisoned with chemical weapons. If you search for “killed Arab civilians” to feed your daily posting schedule, you will mostly find photos from Syria. Most absurdly, people like Jackson Hinkle support Assad and Russia and condemn killing of Arabs in Palestine at the same time…
"Our partners in NE Syria, like all people, have an inalienable right to resist a genocide. Wars should not be directed against civilian targets. Silence suggests some tacit agreement.
There are about 70,000 ISIS members + families likely to be dumped on US forces when the misguided Syria policy comes crashing down.
Turkey was is and will remain the major source of ISIS and #Hamas support. US IC is playing a very dangerous & dirty game to get one new member in #NATO.
Turkey is a Hamas, Al-#Qaeda & ISIS ally. The US people have an absolute right to know who is selling our security short and people in the administration including those at #CIA#ODNIgov#NSAGov & #StateDept who have compromised our security need to go while their policy errors can still be corrected." -t.h.
Remember: In 2019, Trump suddenly withdrew US forces from Syria. He betrayed America's Kurdish allies, who had lost 11,000 soldiers fighting against ISIS. He left our brothers in arms to be beheaded by Erdoğan's jihadists, and he left thousands of ISIS prisoners to escape. "Five years of work—undone."
Why did Trump do it? What did he get in return?
Nothing. He did it because he's Erdoğan's bitch, and Erdoğan told him to.
Look: British and American fighter jets are now shooting down Iranian #drones (#Shahed) over #Israel, #Syria and #Jordan. And yet they are not in a direct war with #Iran.
Why can't we shoot down exactly the same Shahed drones over #Ukraine, just like that - without a state of war?!
