Yesterday afternoon, the IOF committed a horrific massacre in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, resulting in 37 martyrs and over 50 wounded, with some reports as high as 61 martyrs. IOF warplanes took the path northward from the Al-Tanf American base, crossing through Jordan, to carry out the massacre.

This horrific massacre was virtually ignored in the media, as the IOF massacres with impunity, whether in the northern Gaza Strip, where over 100 massacres have ascended today—notably 22 martyrs in the Arouqi family massacre or 66 and counting in the new massacre in Beit Lahia—or in Lebanon, where 10 martyrs ascended in Ma’raka today, or in Jenin, where 8 martyrs have ascended (some of whom are kidnapped by the IOF) in the invasion of the last two days.

Prior to US envoy Amos Hochstein’s visit to Beirut to discuss the US proposal for a ceasefire in Lebanon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that a ceasefire would not stop Israeli occupation forces’ “operations against” the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. 

In detail, Netanyahu said, “The most important thing is not [the deal that] will be laid on paper… We will be forced to ensure our security in the north and to systematically carry out operations against [the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s] attacks… even after a ceasefire,” claiming that the reason is “to keep the group from rebuilding its forces”.
