Israel launched what it thought would be a regular assault on the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
They were in for a big surprise:
Palestinian fighters destroyed 7 israeli armored vehicles. You can see many of them immobile, and pinned down in this video.
Israel had to send in tractors to tow away the column of decimated trucks, jeeps and armored personnel carriers (APCs).
Look carefully behind the tree, and you can see a tractor towing another israeli vehicle away, while taking fire from Jenin fighters.
Watch how one israeli vehicle after the other is destroyed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), detonated remotely by the Palestinian resistance fighters.
Another israeli vehicle hit by an IED.
A third israeli vehicle blown up by an improvised explosive device.
A fourth israeli vehicle is completely decimated by an IED, courtesy of the al Quds Brigade (PIJ). Go to the 0:14 mark.
Israel are taking such heavy losses on the ground, that they send in an attack helicopter-- their first time in 20 years.
Watch as the isareli aircraft begins popping its flares. These countermeasures are usually deployed to confuse homing and heat-seeking surface to air missiles (SAMs). This could very well mean that Jenin's fighters are using complex SAM systems, e.g. Stingers.
Another helicopter arrives to evacuate israeli casualties from Jenin.
Israel towing yet another of its destroyed vehicles.
Israel is claiming it suffered only 7 injuries and no deaths. This is an astonishing claim, and very hard to believe, given the humiliation it suffered this morning-- one comparable to that of the 2006 war in Lebanon.
Today marks a new era for the Palestinian fighters of Jenin, as they employ fresh tactics against israeli attacks. The use of IEDs on the battlefield hasn't been seen since the 2nd Intifada.
The people of Jenin gathered the remnants of israel's vehicles-- wheels, tires, and chunks of twisted metal-- and paraded them around town in a victory march.

As usual, the casualty rate is disproportionate, with Palestinians suffering the majority of casualties: 5 killed (all teenagers and in their 20s), along with 90+ wounded, 23 of which are in "critical to severe condition" (CNN/Palestinian Health Ministry).

French police put Bashir Biazar in a camp for posting pro-Palestinian content. He's been there 3 weeks.
They want to deport him even though he's lived in France with his family for 2 years. They're smearing him, saying he is an Iranian agent, with 0 proof.
Help raise awareness.
The French government will not even answer his lawyer. This is completely insane.
They are holding him under administrative detention, with no charges, and in a camp for illegal migrants, which is ridiculous given he resides legally in France.
The way they detained him, it was a trap.
They asked him to come down to the station on June 3. He was arrested on the spot. All based on an expulsion order from May 22— and not allowed to respond at all!
If France wish to deport him, then why not do it? To make him suffer.
Today, the High Court will decide whether to permit #Assange to appeal the UK's decision to extradite him to the US.
If denied, all of Assange’s legal avenues in Britain are exhausted, and he will appeal to the ECHR.
I am attending the hearing. Live updates below:
2) The US are seeking to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for publishing classified government documents. These documents exposed US war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond.
If extradited, he could be sentenced to 175 years in prison.
3) The High Court granted Assange provisional leave to appeal, unless the US can guarantee that Julian Assange
–Will be granted 1st Amendment rights in the US
-Will not be prejudiced because of his nationality at trial
Under Oslo, Israel had to free Palestinians like Waleed Daqqa. That was In 1993. He died last week. Killed through deliberate medical negligence.
Thousands of Palestinian hostages are in Israeli dungeons, without charge or trial. The world didn't care.
Waleed Daqqa wasn't held under administrative detention, but the fact Israel kept him in violation of Oslo, and then even after completing the 35 years of his life sentence! And on top of all this, denied him conjugal & family visits, or proper medical care.
He was supposed to be top of the list for any prisoner deal, because they are done based on seniority. He could have been freed in at least 4.
Denied. Over and over.
The Resistance fought for him and the thousands like him that the world ignored
BREAKING: Julian Assange has been granted limited leave to appeal by the High Court.
I have just been given the ruling and will provide more information below
Before I include more points of order (the ruling is around 66 pages) this means that Assange has not exhausted his legal options in the United Kingdom, and may yet convince a court to stay and bar the extradition to the United States
This is a full explanation of the Assange case, please watch it if unfamiliar (and even if you are) as it encapsulates the entire issue in one video.
There's no such thing as a "debate" about Israel. You don't debate theft. Theft is wrong.
Israelis are thieves. That's what colonialism is. This is not their land, and as long as they are there, there will be resistance. They will leave one day whether they like it or not.
What Israel have done is ruin the Jewish communities in Arab countries. The Israelis, on purpose, created hostile environments toward Jews in Arab countries, specifically to make them leave to Israel. How do we return these communities now? This is the only question that matters.
But the majority of Israelis, the Israelis who make political decisions, the ones who created the terrorist groups Haganah, Irgun, Lehi-- which then became the IDF-- they're all Europeans, and they can simply go back to Europe where they belong like all European colonizers.
Alas, Victoria Nuland resigns, her 10-year war against Russia a giant, pathetic flop.
My favorite moment was her trip to Niger last summer after the coup, expecting the red carpet treatment, and instead Tchiani refuses to meet and sends his adjutants.😂
Speaking of which, Putin ground Nuland and NATO's war against Russia to a total halt using well-placed, insurmountable fortifications. This is why the famed "spring counteroffensive" never came.
Russia's stockpiling and mass-production of shells, which the West couldn't catch to even in 50 years, is another major factor:
BRICS, and outmaneuvering sanctions also contributed to Russia's victory:
