    With such risky scenario , Egypt will only go for war if Israel hit first...

    They don't have to go that far so soon. Just threaten to break diplomatic ties or even abrogate the c 1980 peace treaty.

    Operational officer in the Al-Quds Brigades:

    - The enemy has suffered significant losses in the Paratroopers Brigade and the Golani Brigade, and they do not disclose the real number of killed within the battle.

    - We have field and operational coordination with Al-Qassam Brigades, and we are confronting the enemy fiercely on all advancing fronts.

    The same people talking down on Hezbollah today are the very same individuals who, just a few months ago, would have doubted that Hamas could capture 240 Israeli prisoners or achieve what they did on October 7th.

    We should worry if Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah had declared war openly in his speech. This would've been a bad sign regarding Gaza’s situation.

    Sayyad Nasrallah would have openly declared war if Hamas was losing the war in the Gaza Strip. This means Hamas' infrastructure is still intact and the arena is favorable.

    Sayyad Nasrallah delivered a highly strategic speech, asserting Hezbollah's capability to target both enemy sea vessels AND aircraft. This declaration, backed by his experts, suggests the presence of unknown/unannounced weaponry. We are in for many surprises.

    🛑 According to reports, the Israeli army retreated several kilometers in the axes of Beit Lahia & the northwestern Gaza, due to Hamas’ unyielding resistance causing for high numbers of casualties among the IOF ranks.

    Breaking diplomatic ties will negatively affect the Palestinians as there will no be arrangements from Egypt to keep entering the aids and rebuilding Gaza .

    But to be honest i will be happy if Egypt did it .

    Lessons we have learned that Israel give nothing until you hit them HARD .

    A lot of Egyptians (at least politicians) are running around, telling everybody that they are an ancient civilization and a great power... but taking
    bribes from a far away foreign country. If Egypt wants to be taken seriously the country has to get rid of that kind of people.

    Off Topic

    I seriously doubt that the dynastic Egyptians are the precursors of modern Egyptians. It's sort of like claiming that Turkey was inhabited
    by Turks 4000 years ago. It's politically correct and woke to claim such nonsense, but the reality is that there were vast migrations of
    people in the general region of Europe 1000 years ago and earlier. There were no well defined states with the same ethnic population
    over most of this region. Such states only emerged in the last 1000 years. There are exceptions like Italy but the UK was created
    from migrations of first Celts and then Germanic tribes. Germanic peoples were in Europe for a very long time but a country called
    Germany did not exist 2000 years ago. There are no Slavic countries that old. Hungarians moved in from the east. Bulgarians did
    the same.

    Israelis claim rights to lands they did not inhabit for nearly 2000 years. That is some sort of transcendental chutzpah. They were not
    the first humans to live there, so perhaps some genetic progeny of the older inhabitants should claim this territory and ethnically cleanse
    the Israelis. After all we are to accept that Palestinians don't have any land rights.

    At the same time, Palestinian leaders helped to f*ck over their own people. The strident militancy has not brought them any success.
    They should have removed any reference to destroying Israel in their political charters. The 1990s two state solution was the only
    tractable option, but we had extremists on both side effectively sabotaging this process. But ultimately it was the British who created
    the mess without properly partitioning the territory and the Americans who made it worse by never being honest brokers.

    Bassim Youssef in five minutes described to the western media the core problem of Jews through history as a European problem .

    Two things to say about that... first, he is very clear and appears to me to be right on all counts... second thing... I didn't recognise Piers Morgan because I have never seen him let someone he is interviewing talk for so long without interruption or putting in his views or criticisms in... he stays quiet and listened.... What a Face


    I do like Tulsi but she is no longer in the asylum.

    I have heard Tulsi a few times and she makes a lot of sense, but there is no place for her in either party because she is essentially anti war for profit.

    She is a woman, she is not white, she served in the US military... they couldn't wait to sign her up in the Democrats, but then she opened her mouth and was not 100% hard core pro war for profit... she actually cares about US soldiers lives and wasting US tax money on things that make the 1% richest slightly richer.

    I'ver read that coptic christians are considered direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians but dunno…Even before arabs arrived in Egypt, there were many Greeks etc especially in the northern or delta area.

    I'd have to agree. Regardless of actual Palestinian intentions, or what they honestly think should be theirs, charters like that are politically amateurish. They play right into the hands of enemy propaganda. The terrible irony is that the oppressed underdogs are made to look like conquerors while the real conquerors look like the threatened ones…The distortions are just awful.

    Hamas leader Osama Hamdan told Al Arabi TV:

    The one preventing the ceasefire effort in Gaza is Benyamin Netanyahu

    We are seeking with the Egyptian side to bring more aid into Gaza despite Israeli pressure.

    The occupation is committing massacres in Gaza in retaliation for its failure in the field

    The occupation is failing any ceasefire formula by targeting ambulances and massacres.

    Ansar Allah Politbureau Member, Muhammad Bukhaiti:

    Bombing the Zionist entity made us feel warm and happy inside, and we were overjoyed when we heard the US aircraft carriers were coming.

    We asked Saudi Arabia, despite being our enemy, to let us through their borders to fight in Palestine, but they refused, even though were very excited to fight.

    We put international criticism at our feet. We will make you accept world peace against your will. There is a prevailing logic in the world that says that the weak should submit to the strong, and that the poor should follow the rich.

    This logic is rejected by us in Yemen, because we are a people who have dignity and pride.

    Hamas has prepared for a long, drawn-out war in the Gaza Strip and believes it can hold up Israel's advance long enough to force its arch enemy to agree to a ceasefire, two sources close to the organization's leadership said.

    Hamas, has stockpiled weapons, missiles, food and medical supplies, according to the people, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the situation. The group is confident its thousands of fighters can survive for months in a city of tunnels carved deep beneath the Palestinian enclave and frustrate Israeli forces with urban guerrilla tactics, the people told Reuters.

    Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper: Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip face a significant threat from Hamas drones on a daily basis. Hamas begins their attack by dropping a warhead for an RPG missile from the drone, followed by mortar shell fire on the forces and the launching of anti-tank missiles. They then initiate a ground assault starting from a tunnel opening. In the latest incident, more than 10 Israeli fighters were injured in a similar incident.

    Statement from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq:

    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
    "Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged, and indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory." (Quran 22:39)

    The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the US occupation base in Al-Shaddadi, south of Al-Hasakah in Syria, with missiles, hitting it directly.

    "And victory is not but from Allah. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."

    Israeli media: For the first time, Hezbollah fired (https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/90343)two *Burkan( mobile short-range ballistic missile ) missiles towards an Israeli army position

    *The “Burkan” is a very short-range rocket (with a range of up to five kilometers) containing a unique number
    of explosives. The weight of the explosives in the “Burkan” rocket can reach up to 400 kg. This rocket, developed during the Syrian civil war, is intended for short-range combat, with an emphasis on built-up residential areas. When such a rocket falls in a crowded, built-up area, its damage potential is enormous.

    For those of us without Telegram, video from another source. There only looks to be one large explosion, did the missile hit a bunker/tunnel complex? Looks like it to me.

    Could be just that ground is soft and it penetrated inside with a delayed explosion.

    Precision seems to be lacking. For a 5km range weapon it shouldn't be an issue if the rocket is well designed.
