It is rare for Hamas to be so open about their members involvements in these attacks, a shift in policy? Or was a direct decision from them to try instigate something, if so, why? This leaves a lot more questions to be answered in comparison to the “lone-wolf” attacks
Victims of the attack: 1. Eliyahu David Kay who was killed. 2. Rabbi Aharon Yehuda ben Tova who is in critical condition. 3. Rabbi Zeevi Katzenelbogen who is in stable condition and was shot in the arm where the bullet exited his Tefillin.
(1/2) An eyewitness on the ground spoke to us: "I was in the kitchen getting breakfast and all of the sudden me and the chef hear gun shots. We were shocked because it was at least 50 shots going off."
The remains of a projectile from last nights attempted assassination of #Iraq|i PM via drone. This was likely dropped from a quadcopter drone similar to what we’ve seen before in Iraq.
Previous imagery shows the Quadcopter in one instance and another event showing just the projectile.
Additional imagery from the second instance in the above tweet.
Ok, summary tweets on the Gulfy McGulfGulf story (I think I got everything)
- Iran said US tried to seize a vessel carrying Iranian crude oil transferred into another tanker and then the IRGCN went after the newly loaded tanker and got it back.
- Vessel is the SOTHYS
- SOTHYS had Iranian crude oil aboard which was denied in China and "sent back"
- IRGCN release footage of them boarding the SOTHYS
- US Navy are in and around the area at the time.
- US Officials say they didn't try board the vessel
- Iran claims they were attempting to seize the vessel.
- Video shows IRGCN and USN getting cozy in the Gulf
- Video has the IRGCN boarding and seizing the vessel
-IRGCN warned the USN to stay away.
- Vessel has been taken to near Bandar Abbas
So, unless I am misunderstanding this Tanker Wars tussle news this morning. An Iranian tanker was STS to another, which was related in some affiliation to the US (somehow) and then Iran realized this and the IRGC seized back that tanker?
According to reports from #Iran, there is currently an ongoing "Cyber Attack" (as described per media) against the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, currently there are long queues at Petrol Stations.
