🚨BREAKING: 🚨
Another huge massacre in Al_Mawasi in Khan Yunis — an area designated by Israel as a “safe zone” for the internally displaced Palestinians.
Reports of a large number of civilians killed & injured when Israel bombed over 20 tents, where many families were asleep.
Body parts are reported everywhere .
People are still buried under the sand & ground.
A child dug from under the sand.
There are great difficulties in the recovery operations given the widespread darkness. The attack, with five missiles, swallowed up the tents leaving behind three large craters in the ground.
Some context: This is within the same area that #Israel carried out another massacre in July, allegedly to assassinate Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, in which they killed at least 90 #Palestinians, among them women & children, & injured over 300.

BREAKING: ‼️‼️
This has to be a first in #Hezbollah’s entire history.
A video released by the group titled “Our mountains are our stores," reveals a part of its underground tunnels & silo of its missile store.
This rare, probably first of its kind public display footage, is a stern message to Israel, reiterating that: 1- A response is coming 2- Ballistic missiles are, in just a press of a button position, & already pinpointed against the selected targets.
By revealing this next level tunnel, albeit unknown location, Hezbollah is also showcasing that the resistance has many unknown secret tunnels in Lebanon, that are well equipped with varied precision missiles capable of inflicting serious destruction to the #Israeli entity if it decides to launch a full fledged war against #Lebanon.
In the words of the group’s leader Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah, which is recited in the footage, the response will come “from where you do not expect...”
The four-and-a-half-minute video showcases the
“Imad 4 Facility”, in reference to senior Hezbollah Commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated by Israel in Damascus on February 2008.
The gigantic facility appears to be constructed inside a huge mountain, storing a vast number of precision & non-precision missiles & rockets, in addition to hosting fighters, equipment, as well as a commands & control center.
Excerpts of Sayyed Nasrallah’s speech of his groups military capabilities were heard in the video, with English & Hebrew subtitles.
IMPORTANT‼️: #Hezbollah has been supplied with Electromagnetic & Fission bombs capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse that can paralyze Israeli communication systems & radar, Lebanese General @MounirShehadeh revealed during an interview with Lebanese Christian television LBC.
The report, also published in a Kuwaiti newspaper Al_Jarida, quoted a senior source in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force.
The new bombs, supplied by Iran, capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse, would incapacitate Israel’s electric grid & communication systems, disrupting radar, planes, & ground forces reliant on these systems.

RE WARNING TO CYPRUS:
It’s a warning. A terminology … Warning is not threatening. Warning is not a declaration of war.
The Israeli war jets are using the Cypriot airspace to make maneuvers, & they have made certain agreements with the government in Cyprus to use the Airport so the Israeli war jets would start them there- attacks from there.
They would, start from Cyprus & come to Lebanon because they believe, at one stage, that Hezbollah & the resistance in Lebanon are capable of targeting all Israeli airports, so they want an alternative.
So Sayed Nasrallah simply said, if Cyprus is going to be part… to give its space & its airports for the Israelis, to attack Lebanon, that they are part of the attack against us we have to defend ourself. This is what he said.
CYPRUS 2/
So we are talking here about an attack coming from Cyprus, not a declaration of war or an aggression or hostility against Cyprus in the beginning. When Cyprus becomes part of the Israeli attack & gives the Israelis the opportunity to use its airports, to use its space in order to attack Lebanon, then Cyprus itself has to be questioned & asked why did you join the attack against Lebanon with Israel?
They simply said that they are not in this sphere. They are not going to attack. (That) they are neutral, & they won't give any opportunity for the Israelis or other. This is good as a clarification.
But, Hezbollah said that we have our sources, our intelligence, confirming that they are. If they want to stop, this is excellent, this is fine. But this is not a declaration of war… this is a warning not to be part of the aggression & the attacks against Lebanese, against the Lebanese soil & against Lebanese resistance because they will be part of those who are attacking. & when you attack, you expect a reaction, you expect a retaliation.
IS WARNING TO CYPRUS ALSO A MESAGE TO TURKEY RE ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH NATO:
You will be surprised to know what kind of calculations (projections & assessments) the Islamic resistance Hezbollah has made or has done. You will be surprised, very surprised to know what kind of preparations the Islamic resistance Hezbollah has done. You will be surprised to see what kind of capabilities, we have there. That's why I I can tell you simply that, we are we are prepared, we are prepared for worst case scenarios… If they do what they threatened to do, I can assure you that, they'll be surprised.
Highlights from #Hezbollah-affiliated (Lebanese MP Ibrahim Moussawi during Sunday, June 16th space, which was also co-hosted by @TheCradleMedia:
AXIS UNITY:
“This axis of the resistance, has been on paper, &, there is literature about it. But, what happened in Iraq, for example, what happened in #Yemen, what happened properly in, #Palestine, in #Gaza recently, put it into effect
“We have always heard about this axis of the resistance, but it was not put into effect with this high efficiency till October 7th, 2023.”
AXIS COORDINATION:
“I can't talk about a central command here, but I can tell you there is daily coordination always taking place & this coordination, will continue for sure.
It is, on an on to on, a moment to moment basis; & everyone in this front, in this axis knows exactly what to do, & will do it in the proper time, the proper way.
“There is a continuous coordination 24 hours coordination & monitoring.
We make briefings to each other. I know it very well, &, there are secrets to this that is not known to the enemies, & should not be known to the enemies.”
AXIS COORDINATION CONTD:
“I can tell you very well that the kind of operations, the kind of, support & help that, the axis of the resistance is doing, is satisfactory to a great extent to the Palestinian side, to Hamas & to Islamic Jihad & to all the other Palestinian resistance movements fighting in Gaza or even in the West Bank.
“We make very delicate & very meticulous calculations, very concise, very accurate ones, in order to help the fronts & at the same time, in order to continue, this kind of fight, without making, repercussions that would endanger a certain level.
What we did was very meticulous, concise, calculation for the risks & for the management of the war because this is a long war.
Now we are talking about one axis, one resistance.”
INTERESTING :
Senior officials in U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration have discussed the possibility of negotiating a unilateral deal with #Hamas for the release of the five #Israeli-#American hostages still held in #Gaza if the current talks don’t result in a deal, NBC News reported on Monday, citing two current and two former U.S. officials.
According to these officials, such talks would not include #Israel and would be conducted through #Qatari mediators. The White House declined to comment on the dramatic report.
The main purpose of #Blinken’s visit on Monday is to promote the proposal for a deal for the release of the hostages & an end to the war that the Biden administration presented a week and a half ago, which has not yet received an official response from Hamas.
A must read article by the only @Hass_Haaretz (link at the end.)
The destruction, starvation & death in #Gaza are Israel's defeat / Amira Hass
#Israel was defeated & is still being defeated, not because of the fact that at the start of the ninth month of this accursed war, #Hamas has not been toppled.
The emblem of defeat will forever appear alongside the menorah & flag,
— because the leaders, commanders & soldiers of Israel killed & wounded thousands of #Palestinian civilians,
— sowing unprecedented ruin & desolation in the Gaza Strip.
— Because its air force knowingly bombed buildings full of children, women & the elderly.
— Because in Israel people believe there is no other way. Because entire families were wiped out.
The Jewish state was defeated
— because its politicians & public officials are causing two million three hundred thousand human beings to go hungry and thirsty,
— because skin ailments & intestinal inflammation are spreading in Gaza.
