Nascent Yemen

A stirring video has recently surfaced from the legendary confrontations in the border town of Adaisseh, documenting the final hours of two Hezbollah fighters before their martyrdom during the October 2, 2024, ground battle against the Israeli Occupation Forces.

The footage, filmed by martyr Mohammad Sawli (nom de guerre: Ali Atwi), captures his comrade Mohammad Ahmad Tabaja (Amir) amid intense clashes after a night-long engagement.

One of the video’s most powerful moments is Martyr Tabaja’s resonant words: “Our goal is victory and not only martyrdom,” reflecting a profound sense of purpose and awareness from a 21-year-old fighter, representative of a generation whose steadfastness reshaped the course of the battle.

The camera, later found in a destroyed home, reveals the raw reality of urban warfare—drone strikes, bombardment, and unwavering faith in victory.

Al Manar report

Zionist colony has prevented tens of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from entering al-Quds to celebrate a Christian festivity at the city’s churches.
The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that only a limited number of Palestinian Christians were able to attend celebrations in al-Quds for the Palm Sunday feast day.

IOF issued only 6,000 permits for West Bank Christians, although the population exceeds 50,000, the report added.

The occupation’s soldiers imposed strict measures at checkpoints surrounding al-Quds and its Old City, home to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

“This is the second consecutive year that only a small number of pilgrims are able to participate in Holy Week and Easter celebrations in al-Quds, due to the ongoing conflict,” said Father Ibrahim Faltas, deputy head of the Custody of the Holy Land.

Christians in the Gaza Strip commemorated Palm Sunday at Saint Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church, just hours after an Israeli aerial assault on the nearby al-Ahli Arab hospital.

In a statement, the Gaza-based Hamas resistance group censured Israel for restricting West Bank Palestinians’ access to al-Quds.

The Israeli move is a part of a broader racist and fascist policy aimed at isolating Palestinians from their homeland and holy sites, it added.

Hamas also called on all churches across the world to condemn the occupation and its ongoing attacks on freedom of worship and access to holy sites.

It further urged the international community to take serious steps towards ending Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, which is aimed at annihilating Palestinians and liquidating their cause.

Israel launched its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

After one and a half years of war, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its declared objectives in the besieged territory, despite killing at least 50,944 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 116,156 others.

Al Masirah report

MP Ali Fayyad warned that Lebanon is facing a foreign-driven attempt to reshape its political, cultural, and social identity, stressing the need for Zionist colony withdrawal, respect for sovereignty, and readiness for reform without absolving the state of its reconstruction duties.

MP Hassan Fadlallah said 80% of housing restoration has been completed but urged the state to fulfill its responsibilities, warning against tying reconstruction to upcoming elections. He emphasized that internal dialogue must begin with ending Zionist aggression and prioritizing reconstruction and prisoner release.

Zionist airstrikes targeted the Al-Ahli/ Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip, striking the emergency room with two missiles and inflicting severe damage on the reception, laboratory, and pharmacy areas.

Following the attack, Palestinian media reported a mass evacuation of wounded and critically ill patients, many of whom were left lying in the streets surrounding the hospital. This marked a second evacuation alert after the missile strike.

Hamas: A Crime with an American Green Light

In a statement, Hamas considered “the bombing of the Baptist Hospital and the displacement of patients and wounded within it a new war crime committed by the fascist occupation army, as part of its series of brutal crimes in the Gaza Strip.” The statement added that this “brutal crime confirms once again that we are facing a criminal, rogue entity that violates all laws, regulations, and humanitarian norms, operating with American cover and complicity amid the complete disruption of all international accountability mechanisms.”

The movement held “the US administration fully responsible for the brutal occupation crime at the Baptist Hospital,” stressing that it would not have occurred “had it not been for the green light granted by Washington.”

The movement wondered how the world, and its political and legal institutions, led by the UN Security Council, could remain silent about these unprecedented crimes in the modern era, which include the targeting and bombing of hospitals, the perpetration of massacres there, and the abuse of patients and the wounded, displacing them into the streets.

The Government Media Office in Gaza echoed these sentiments, asserting that this attack was not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of aggression. They highlighted previous atrocities committed at the same hospital and noted that 34 health facilities had already been rendered inoperative due to systematic targeting. They placed responsibility for the attack on the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and other nations complicit in the violence.

The statement called on “the international community, United Nations agencies, and human rights and humanitarian organizations to condemn this crime. We also call on them to take swift and urgent action to put an end to this organized terrorism and to work immediately to protect what remains of the health facilities in the Gaza Strip.” The statement added that “the Baptist Hospital, which includes several specialized departments, was serving hundreds of patients and the wounded, and providing health services to more than one million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and North Gaza Governorates, amid the near-total collapse of the health system due to the genocide, the siege, and the continuous bombardment.”
