Zionist colony launches new wave of airstrikes in Syria
The Zionist colony has launched a major wave of airstrikes in Syria.
Local journalists reported that Israeli warplanes carried out at least 20 airstrikes across the countryside of Damascus, Dara’a, and Hama, targeting military sites and warehouses on Friday night.
The strikes included attacks on an old Syrian army camp near Shatha village in Hama, the headquarters of a battalion of the former Syrian army north of Damascus, and military camps in Dara’a.
Explosions were reported over Damascus and its suburbs, including Harasta, where a civilian casualty was confirmed.
Zionist media said some positions in Damascus were targeted for the first time.
Since President Bashar Assad’s government collapsed in December, Syria has also been plagued by a widespread Zionist occupation across large swathes of the country’s south.
It has also been hit by hundreds of Zionist airstrikes, mainly targeting military infrastructure that belonged to the former Syrian army.
Earlier on Friday, Israeli warplanes struck near the Syrian presidential palace in Damascus, marking the regime’s second attack in the Arab country this week amid the silence of the ruling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham-led (HTS) administration.
Israeli authorities have tried to paint the Friday attack as a support for the Druze community, which is clashing with the HTS-backed militants near Damascus in a new wave of sectarian violence under the rule of the HTS administration. The violence has left dozens of people dead or wounded.
This is while the Druze minority had a history of supporting the Assad government and standing against Israeli occupation and expansionist policies, including in the occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military operations in Syria come as minister of military affairs Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israel is planning to keep its occupation forces in southern Lebanon and Syria “indefinitely.”
On Thursday, Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV, citing local sources, said the Israeli army is establishing two new outposts in the countryside of Damascus, facing the Hasbaya district of southern Lebanon.The intensified Israeli aggression against Syria continues despite HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani’s repeated overtures to the occupying regime.
Last Thursday, US Congressman Cory Mills told Bloomberg that after meeting Jolani in Damascus that Syria’s de facto leader, seeks to normalize ties with Israel and that he was carrying a letter from him for President Donald Trump.

5 injured in Zionist drone strike on gas station in southern Lebanon
Five people were injured on Friday in an Zionist drone strike that targeted a prefab room on the roof of a gas station in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency.
The National News Agency (NNA) reports that the Zionist drone fired three missiles at dawn, striking the gas station located along the road leading to the town of Houla.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place in Lebanon since November, ending months of cross-border warfare between the Zionist colony and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.
Lebanese authorities have reported over 3,000 Zionist colony violations of the truce, including the deaths of nearly 200 people and the injuries of around 500 others.
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Israel refused to comply. It still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.AA report

Zionist colony bombs vicinity of Syrian presidential palace in ‘clear warning’ to Jolani
Multiple Zionist airstrikes have hit targets in Syria in recent days, amid escalating clashes between armed Druze factions and pro-government forces.The Zionist colony bombed the vicinity of self-appointed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa’s residential compound in Damascus early on 2 May, in what was described as “a clear message to the Syrian regime.”
“This is a clear message to the Syrian regime. We will not allow forces to be sent south of Damascus or any threat to the Druze community,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced in a joint statement.Katz reiterated a while later that the attack near the presidential palace was a “clear warning to the Syrian regime,” adding that “When Julani (Sharaa) wakes up in the morning and sees the results of the Israeli Air Force fighter jets’ strike, he understands that Israel is determined to prevent harm to the Druze in Syria.”
“It is his duty to protect the Druze in the suburbs of Damascus from attacks by jihadist rioters and to enable the hundreds of thousands of Druze in Suwayda and Jabal al-Druze to defend themselves on their own, and not to send jihadist forces into the villages. It is our duty to protect the Druze in Syria from harm, for the sake of our Druze brothers in Israel, their loyalty to the state, and their immense contribution to Israel’s security,” Katz added.
Sharaa was the head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the former Al-Qaeda affiliate, which toppled the government of Bashar al-Assad in December last year. In the early years of the Syrian war, when the group was known as the Nusra Front, it received air cover from Israeli fighter jets and at one point had its fighters treated at Israeli hospitals in the occupied Golan Heights.
While the Zionist colony has repeatedly threatened Sharaa since his government came to power in Syria, the interim president and administration have signaled that they do not intend to pose any threat to Tel Aviv.
Israel’s new threats come after fierce clashes between armed factions affiliated with the Syrian Defense Ministry and Druze militiamen in Jaramana, Sahnaya, and Suwayda. Dozens were killed, including civilians and militants from both sides.
Tel Aviv has publicly assumed the role of protecting Syria’s Druze community. Over the last two days of clashes, it launched several airstrikes on Syria targeting state security forces.
The clashes came to an end on Thursday after an agreement was reached for the Druze to hand over weapons to the government and allow security forces to enter Jaramana in the Damascus outskirts.
Minorities in Syria have faced violence and persecution at the hands of the new Syrian government. Last month, over 1,700 Alawites were killed in a series of sectarian massacres carried out by security forces.The Cradle Media report
Zionist leader Netanyahu’s office announces that the PM spoke with Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, the spiritual leader of the Zionist colony’s Druze community, to discuss recent developments. Sheikh Tarif thanked Netanyahu for his actions to protect the Druze in Syria, including the strike near the presidential palace in Damascus.
Netanyahu also emphasized the importance of the Druze community continuing to uphold ‘the law’ in the Zionist colony, while Sheikh Tarif assured him that Druze leaders condemn violence and remain committed to respecting the rule of law.
Images capture the aftermath of the Zionist airstrikes that targeted areas in Al-Suwayda, Syria, earlier today, reportedly killing 4 and injuring several others. PressTV This warning strike, once again, proves how close Netanyahu is to the Greater “Israel” project.
Jolani and his Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham mercenaries will not be able to stand a chance against the Zionist colony’s fighter jets bombings.
According to Iran’s rise and rivalry with US, during the period from 2012 and 2016, 55 fighters from Pakistan, 255 from Afghanistan, 342 from Iran, and 878 from Lebanon lost their lives in Syria.
They were fighting against the takfiris and the Zionist colony’s strikes to protect Syria.
Backed by the AMERICAN-BRITISH entity, Jolani had an easy game when marching down to take over Damascus.
To that time, the Hezbollah fighters were redeployed to fight and protect Lebanon.
In essence, Netanyahu signals with these most recent “warning strikes” that Syria will be an integral part of the Zionist colony project.
Jolani will not be able to maintain the Syrian throne.

General Yahya Saree joins weekly pro-Palestine protests in Sana’a for two ops announcements
Yemeni forces have conducted a “successful” missile attack on the Zionist colony, the second of its kind in the past hours, in defiance of the US strikes.
In a statement on Friday, Yemen’s Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that “the missile unit of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a military operation against a vital target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Haifa area, using a hypersonic ballistic missile” in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The missile, “the second in hours,” hit its target “successfully,” forcing settlers to run to shelters, the statement added.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also urged the Arab and Muslim nations to “fulfill their religious, moral and humanitarian duties towards the oppressed Palestinian people and to take urgent action in all countries to stop the war of extermination and end the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.”
The statement stressed that Yemen will continue to conduct pro-Gaza operations and prevent Israeli ships from navigating in the Red and Arabian Seas until the end of the war and the siege, noting that the US aggression has “failed” to lift the Yemeni ban.
Saree made the remarks in a weekly pro-Gaza protest in the capital, Sana’a.
Earlier on Friday, Saree said the Yemeni forces “carried out a military operation targeting the Israeli enemy’s Ramat David Airbase”, near the occupied Haifa area, using a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile.
“The missile successfully reached its target, thanks to God, and the interceptor systems failed to intercept it,” the statement added.
The Yemeni attacks took place hours after the US launched a strike on Yemen in an attempt to stop the country’s pro-Gaza operations, leaving three people injured.
Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
In support of Israel, the US announced the formation of a maritime task force in the Red Sea in December 2023 to protect the passage of vessels bound for the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Yemeni forces responded by ramping up their strikes against strategic and sensitive Israeli and American targets, including the US warships and aircraft carriers that are deployed off Yemen’s coastline.PressTV report

Pakistan-administered Kashmir prepares food reserves amid India tensions
Pakistani-administered Kashmir has issued an order for stockpiling food supplies amid an escalation of tensions with India.
“Instructions have been issued to stock food supplies for two months,” the prime minister of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, told lawmakers at the local assembly on Thursday as senior officials warned of an imminent Indian military strike.
Tensions between the two nuclear power neighbors escalated following a deadly terror attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of more than two dozen Indians.
New Delhi accuses Islamabad of being involved in the attack, with the latter denying any involvement and calling for an international investigation into the incident.Haq said that if conflict breaks out between the two countries, the cabinet has the ultimate authority to declare a state of emergency in the region. “We are monitoring the situation closely, round the clock.”
In the meantime, Indian troops have been reportedly amassing behind the Line of Control (LoC) separating the two neighboring countries, indicating an imminent attack.
Since the attack, India has taken several measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, a decades-old agreement governing water sharing between the countries.
Pakistan has condemned these actions, viewing them as provocative and detrimental to regional stability, besides taking retaliatory measures of its own, including closing its airspace to Indian flights.
The United Nations and various international organizations have expressed alarm over the rising tensions and have called for restraint and dialogue as the potential for miscalculation or unintended escalation has raised fears of a broader conflict in the region.PressTV report

Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessel bombed by Zionists near Malta, reminiscent of Mavi Marmara May 2010
A Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessel, which was near Malta and headed toward Gaza carrying humanitarian aid, was bombed by zionist drones roughly an hour ago. 30 humanitarians were forced to abandon the ship and issue an SOS call.
The most recent communications indicate that only Cyprus has responded to the SOS call so far.Zionist forces bomb Gaza humanitarian aid flotilla near Malta Another Freedom Flotilla, Mavi Marmara, was attacked in international waters on 31 May 2010 by Israeli naval commandos who used live bullets and tear gas, preventing the flotilla from reaching the Gaza Strip.
The occupation forces began contacting the ship’s crew at 10:30pm on 30 May, while it was in international waters. The crew told them that they were heading to Gaza and that they were in international waters and no party had the right to stop them. Contact was then cut off at about 2am on 31 May.
The attack began at 4:30am with a barrage of live bullets, resulting in casualties and injuries.
According to the report of the Medical Examination Institute, the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara ship killed ten people and injured 56, most of them Turks.MEMO report

Over 100 killed in fresh sectarian violence by Jolani’s HTS terrorists in Syria
At least 101 people have been killed over the past two days in a Damascus suburb in fierce clashes between ruling Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorists and fighters from the local Druze religious community, a report says.
According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Thursday, the clashes in Jaramana on Tuesday and Wednesday killed 10 civilians as well as 30 loyalists of the HTS administration and 21 Druze gunmen.
Forty more Druze fighters were killed – 35 of them in an “ambush” on Wednesday – in the Druze heartland in Syria’s southern province of Suwayda, the Britain-based observatory said.
The fighting is the latest episode of sectarian violence in Syria since Takfiri militants overtook the country after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government in early December.
The clashes broke out after an audio clip circulated on social media of a man purportedly insulting Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). It was attributed to Marwan Kiwan, a Druze cleric, who vehemently denied being involved.
“I categorically deny that the audio was made by me,” Kiwan said in a video he posted online. “I did not say that and whoever made it is an evil man who wants to incite strife between parts of the Syrian people.”
The HTS-led regime said in a statement it was investigating the audio clip, adding that its initial probe showed the cleric was not responsible.
Nevertheless, its militants used the clip as a pretext of attack the Druze community, leading to death and destruction.
The security situation in Syria under the HTS – an offshoot of the al-Qaeda terrorist group – remains tenuous. Incidents of sectarian violence, including the massacre of hundreds of Alawites in March, have hardened fears among minority groups about the now dominant militants.Since Assad’s government collapsed in December, Syria has also been plagued by a widespread Israeli occupation across large swathes of the country’s south. It has also been hit by hundreds of Israeli airstrikes, mainly targeting military infrastructure that belonged to the former Syrian army.
Minister of military affairs Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israel is planning to keep its occupation forces in southern Lebanon and Syria “indefinitely.”

Hezbollah MP affirms over 3,000 Zionist violations demand strong state response, urges national unity
Head of the Baalbek-Hermel Bloc and Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP, Dr. Hussein Al-Haj Hasan, stressed that the Lebanese state must take the lead in confronting Zionist aggression.
This includes enforcing Israeli withdrawal, securing the return of prisoners, spearheading reconstruction, and pressing the international guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to compel the Zionist enemy to implement its terms.
“We want the state’s position to be strong, and we will continue to support it. We are an integral part of the state—within the Cabinet, Parliament, municipalities, local councils, unions, and public institutions. We are deeply rooted in the Lebanese people and national identity, and we take pride in what we have sacrificed for this country. Therefore, we are partners in decision-making and fully open to dialogue, even as others refuse to engage and resort to strange and inflammatory rhetoric,” Hezbollah’s MP Haj Hasan explained.Continued Occupation and Escalating Violations
Speaking during a memorial ceremony at the Sayyed Al-Mursaleen Complex in Aramoun on Thursday, MP Haj Hasan underlined that Lebanese land remains under occupation, prisoners are still held in Israeli jails, and Zionist attacks continue to target Lebanese territory, civilians, and army personnel.
“Lebanon is still under threat, yet some in the country do not consider this a priority, aligning instead—deliberately or not—with the narratives of those plotting against Lebanon.”
Dr. Haj Hasan criticized the lack of action from the international community, stating, “It is the duty of the government and all state officials to intensify their pressure on the guarantors of the November 27 ceasefire agreement. Lebanon has fulfilled its obligations, while the Zionist enemy and its US backer have not. Washington not only enables but fully partners in this aggression.”Over 3,000 Violations, Little Response
Hezbollah’s MP questioned the performance of the Quintet Committee overseeing the ceasefire. “What has the committee done in five months? What have they achieved?” he asked.
“Lebanon has endured over 3,000 Israeli violations, in addition to hundreds of martyrs and wounded, widespread destruction, killings, abductions, and the demolition of homes and farmland.”
Call for National Unity
He called on Lebanese political parties to prioritize national interest over political point-scoring. “In a time of national crisis, one would expect a higher sense of patriotism. Yet, not a single statement has been issued by some parties condemning Israeli aggression. Instead, they launch daily attacks on the resistance.”
“We’re not asking them to change their stance toward us,” he said, “but at the very least, they should condemn the Israeli enemy’s repeated assaults. Justifying its aggression only raises doubts about their credibility. Unfortunately, it seems some have taken it upon themselves to weaken Lebanon at any cost—even if it means staying silent in the face of Israeli crimes,” Haj Hasan concluded.

So soon, have they forgotten who liberated Lebanon from the Zionist enemy in May 2000.
