‘Lebanese gov’ unilaterally releases zion*st prisoner while 16 Lebanese in zion*st dungeons
Netanyahu’s office announces the return of zion*st subject of Palestinian origin Saleh Abu Hussein, who had been held in Lebanon, through Ras al-Naqoura following negotiations in recent months with the assistance of the Red Cross.
According to unconfirmed reports, the person suffers from mental instability even
before the imprisonment, and it is unknown how he had managed to enter Lebanon.
There are 16 Lebanese abductees in the prisons of occupied Palestine, while freeing easily the zion*st held in Lebanon.
The Lebanese government serves the interests of the zionist enemy instead of its own citizens.
Hezbollah MP Dr. Ibrahim Al-Moussawi issues a strong condemnation of the Lebanese authorities’ unilateral handover of an “israeli” to ‘israel.” This action, which saw no Lebanese prisoners released in return, is described as “condemned, reprehensible, and shocking” to the people.
Al-Moussawi highlights deep questions regarding the authorities’ negligence and failure to secure an exchange, calling for immediate accountability and a comprehensive investigation into the matter. The move has caused severe disappointment among the families of Lebanese prisoners in zionist jails. Attached is a photo of Lebanese prisoners in zionist jails.

Yemeni Government Condemns Environmental Crimes by Occupation Forces Along the Coasts
Yemen’s Government has strongly condemned what the grave environmental crimes carried out by the occupation forces and their collaborators along the Yemeni coasts, warning of the far-reaching consequences these violations pose to marine ecosystems, food security, and public health in Yemen.
In a statement, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources reported that the continuous dumping of oil residues, plastics, and medical waste, combined with destructive fishing practices that contravene international standards, has devastated large stretches of the marine environment. This has significantly reduced the productivity of traditional fishing zones and endangered the livelihoods of Yemeni fishermen.
The ministry stressed that Yemeni waters under the control of the occupation have become heavily polluted, turning some coastal areas into open dumping grounds for toxic waste that threatens marine life and long-term natural resources. Beyond environmental damage, the statement highlighted the health risks to Yemeni citizens who depend on the sea as a primary food source.
It further emphasized that these violations form part of a systematic policy by the occupation aimed at undermining Yemeni fishermen, depriving them of their main source of livelihood, and eroding marine habitats including coral reefs. The ministry also accused the Saudi-backed government of disgraceful silence and complicity with the forces of occupation and aggression.
The ministry called on the Yemeni people and national forces to expose and resist these crimes at every level, stressing that fishery wealth is a cornerstone of Yemen’s food security and a right that must be preserved for future generations. It urged international and environmental organizations to assume their responsibilities in monitoring, condemning, and pressing to halt these violations, while confirming Yemen’s intention to document the environmental damage and pursue those responsible before national and international courts.
The environmental violations come amid broader ambitions of the Saudi-Emirati coalition to consolidate control over Yemen’s southern coasts and islands. Popular resistance to these designs has been mounting: thousands in Socotra protested against Emirati attempts to dominate the island, while the people of Al-Mahra rose up demanding sovereignty and rejecting foreign presence. Demonstrations have since spread to Aden, where the UAE maintains tens of thousands of loyal local forces. Analysts draw parallels between today’s protests and the 1960s anti-British uprisings, which laid the foundation for armed struggle in the south.Al Masirah report

Jolani terrorist leader says HTS committed ‘some violations’ in Suwayda
Reports have emerged that Syrian security forces [Jolani’s Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorists] raped Druze women and girls during their horrific massacres in Suwayda in July.
Jolani admitted for the first time on 17 August that members of his security forces participated in massacres against civilians from the country’s Druze religious minority in Suwayda over one week in July.
Jolani, the former ISIS and Al-Qaeda commander who took power in Damascus in December, said that Suwayda “witnessed many violations from all sides … some members of the security forces and army in Syria also carried out some violations.”The state is required “to hold all perpetrators of violations to account,” whatever their affiliation, he added.
Jolani made the comments during a dialogue session with notables from Idlib Governorate and other senior officials.Jolani previously claimed that his security forces, which are largely comprised of extremists from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other radical Sunni armed factions, were sent to Suwayda on 15 July to stop the violence between Druze factions and Bedouin militias and to protect civilians.
However, various western media outlets, including Reuters and Media Line, confirmed that the killings escalated upon the arrival of government forces.
On Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that a mother and three of her daughters, including a young girl, were raped and then murdered during the attack.
Citing reliable sources, SOHR stated that the killings, which took place near the Al-Koum neighborhood in Suwayda City, were discovered on 17 July after government forces withdrew.
Twelve other members of the same family, including eight women and girls and an elderly man, were also killed. Several were shot at close range, while others were executed inside a car. Some of the women and girls were also raped.Veteran Palestinian Journalist Wael Essam received photographs confirming the incidents of rape reported by SOHR.
“I can say that the most horrific scene I have witnessed since 2011 in Syria was committed by some of yesterday’s revolutionaries, today’s savages,” Essam wrote on X.
SOHR released footage from the home where the 12 family members were killed. The video showed blood stains on the floor and furniture in the room where the killings took place.
Sharaa and his administration have come under additional pressure to acknowledge atrocities committed by his security forces following the release of a video last week showing the execution in cold blood of a volunteer at the National Hospital in Suwayda on 16 July.A CCTV video showed members of the Ministry of Defense and General Security forcing hospital staff and volunteers to gather and sit on the floor at gunpoint.
After the gunmen began asking the religion of those gathered, one volunteer, 33-year-old Mohammad Abu Hassas, was singled out. After saying that he was Druze, a General Security member hit him in the head with the butt of a Kalashnikov rifle.
As Abu Hassas tried to protect himself, he was thrown to the ground and shot twice in the head. The video shows a gunman dragging his body away, leaving blood stains across the floor behind him.The killing was part of a broader massacre at the hospital carried out by members of a government-linked armed faction, Ansar al-Tawhid (Division 82), against wounded Druze fighters and accompanying civilians.
Pro-Syrian government media initially claimed the hospital massacre was carried out by Druze fighters linked to spiritual leader Hikmat al-Hijri, while Al Jazeera attempted to deny that Syrian forces executed Abu Hassas, despite the clear evidence shown in the video of what happened.
A month after the massacres, President Sharaa’s forces continue to besiege Suwayda, where hundreds of thousands of people are in desperate need of food, water, gasoline, and other essentials. Suwayda’s hospital also suffers from shortages of medicine and other supplies.Government-affiliated forces continue to open fire on Druze civilians escaping Suwayda by car, while also attacking aid convoys traveling from Damascus to Suwayda.
On 15 August, gunmen in the Deraa countryside opened fire on two vehicles traveling to Damascus on the Suwayda–Beirut road, killing a woman, Nada Adel Amer, and wounding her children. They were shot in the Al-Kahil area near the Al-Jizah checkpoint in Deraa.
On 11 August, a humanitarian aid convoy departed from Jaramana carrying medical supplies, food, clothing, and baby formula. Before reaching the Busra al-Sham crossing, the convoy was attacked by Syrian government-affiliated armed groups. The aid was looted, and members of the convoy were abducted, including Syrian Red Crescent driver Walid Abu Zaidan.The Syrian president also vowed to hold perpetrators among his forces accountable for atrocities committed against Alawites on the Syrian coast in March. Though at least 1,600 Alawite civilians were massacred in their homes and in the streets over the course of three days, Sharaa has not prosecuted anyone, including those who filmed their own crimes and posted the videos on social media.The Cradle Media report

US helped Netanyahu’s cyber chief evade child sex crime charges: Report
The US government is denying that it helped a senior z#onist official leave the country after his arrest on a serious child sex crime charge.
And on Monday, the occupied-Palestine-born top US federal prosector in Nevada confirmed that she is declining to prosecute the official, leaving the matter instead to local authorities – a sign the US is trying to downplay the matter and shield zionist colony the accused pedophile from the consequences.
“The Department of State is aware that Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a zionist settler, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges related to soliciting sex electronically from a minor,” the US foreign ministry’s Near Eastern Affairs bureau posted on Twitter/X on Monday.
“He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the US government intervened are false,” the State Department added.
The denial is unlikely to quell concerns that Alexandrovich, executive director of the defense division of zionist National Cyber Directorate, was given special treatment – especially amid ongoing controversy over US and zionist colony links to pedophile child-trafficking mastermind Jeffrey Epstein.Israeli-born US prosecutor appointed by Trump
And in a further twist on Monday, Sigal Chattah, the acting US attorney – the top federal prosecutor for Nevada – confirmed that Alexandrovich was arrested in an “important multi-agency operation” that “targeted child sex predators who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of our communities.”
“As a result of the operation, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office is handling the prosecution,” Chattah added.
This signals that the federal government is washing its hands of the matter – leaving Alexandrovich to be prosecuted at the state level.
The US Department of Justice can and does file federal charges in such cases – especially when federal agencies are involved in a sting – but has, for some reason, chosen not to do so in this one.
A federal prosecution would carry much more force, especially if Alexandrovich refuses to return from Israel to the US.
Now a US federal official, Chattah is an Israeli-born lawyer who has been politically active with Zionist organizations, including the Israeli-American Council, a lobby group funded by pro-Israel tycoons Adam Milstein and Sheldon and Miriam Adelson.
Last month, more than 100 retired judges signed a letter objecting to President Donald Trump’s appointment of Chattah, calling her unqualified and citing “her well-documented history of racist remarks, conspiracy theories and threats of violence.”
Chattah has previously called for Israel to “wipe Gaza off the map” and labeled the entire population there “terrorists” and “animals.”The full Electronic Intifada report

Sexual assault or exile: 100% of female Thai agricultural workers report abuse under zion^st employers
Every single Thai woman employed in the z#onist agricultural industry has suffered sexual assault, a report has shown.
The damning data was presented before the Knesset (zion*st parliament)’s special committee on foreign workers on Tuesday.
As many as 654 out of 654 women surveyed had reported abuse, according to the data that had been provided in a report by immigration experts, Yahel Kurlander and Shahar Shoham.
Abandoned with no safe path to justice
The regime “has abandoned these women,” Kurlander said.
“A woman that wants to complain has no clear course of action,” she added.
Shiri Lev-Ran, an official within the regime’s ministry of economy, also admitted, “If a foreign worker is required to quit her job due to a complaint she filed, she is also, in fact, losing her place of residence.”
Many of these workers “are not even fully aware of all their rights,” she added, suggesting that the overall situation has left them doubly vulnerable.
Institutions look away
The regime’s own apparatuses have, meanwhile, admitted to refusing to duly track or protect the females.
Representatives from the main Israeli insurance institute and the regime’s police told the committee that their systems held no reliable data on sexual assault complaints by foreign workers.
Police statistics have revealed that since 2017, just 4% of 25,494 sexual assault complaints had been filed by people other than the regime’s own illegal settlers.
According to observers, the situation debunks Tel Aviv’s repeated claims of considering non-settlers to be entitled to receive the same protections and benefits as those of the settlers.
Speaking on Press TV’s Face to Face program earlier this month, United Nations rapporteur Francesca Albanese called the regime a “democracy” for the settlers.She, however, went on to describe the Zionist entity as “a military dictatorship for five million people, Palestinians,” saying it enforced the dictatorship by deploying “21st-century modern technology and weaponry and spying services and artificial intelligence” in ways that “can be replicated.”

The siege of Gaza City commenced
zion#st vehicles suddenly entered south of Sabra neighbourhood south of Gaza City and are apparently encircling the Sabra School and UNRWA clinic, trapping dozens.
Tanks are advancing towards the entrance with aerial and artillery support.Urgent reports from Sabra neighbourhood, south of Gaza City, following zion*st colony’s sudden advance.
Citizens are besieged inside the UNRWA clinic amidst intense artillery shelling and quadcopter fire, causing injuries.
A large-scale displacement is underway as occupation forces advance, with civilians, including barefoot children and women, fleeing in fear.
IOF warplanes are simultaneously carrying out airstrikes east of Gaza City. Northwest of Gaza City, 1 martyr and 20 wounded were reported while collecting aid near “Zikim.”Newly released footage reveals the zionist occupation forces’ murder of a 12-year-old Palestinian girl in Jabalia, northern Gaza. The child, carrying water for her family, was targeted and murdered by zionist drone-fired missile in December 2024.
https://t.me/presstv/153371The importance of Gaza City at this stage has become greater than at the beginning of the war, and deciding the battle of Gaza City will lead to subjugating Hamas.
zion*st Defense Minister Katz according to Hebrew media
For the first time, we see that Hamas, after weeks of refusing to discuss any deal for releasing prisoners, is now ready to discuss it – only because it fears that we seriously intend to occupy Gaza City.This is a very distorted view of the case as Hamas has always been engaged in negotiations and has shown on multiple occasions willingness to make concessions.
It is the zionist colony that enjoys the blood spill of innocents, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Most recently, we have been served with the idea of Greater ‘Israel’ by Netanyahu himself, and he is in discussions with several countries, most notably South Sudan, to have Gazans permanently relocated.
The zionist Knesset [the equivalent to a Parliament] has approved the occupation of Gaza City through votes.
Still, the West protects this zionist colony as the sole Democracy in West Asia.
As a matter of fact, if in a Democracy 1 million citizens demonstrate the current government’s course of action and the government still pursues it, then the regime form must be called by its appropriate name, that is, a zionist settler colony.
The protest in ‘Tel Aviv’ on Sunday.
Reports state that 1 million settlers joined the protest on Sunday. This is a huge number of protesters in relation to zionist colony’s relative population ratio.

Statement by the Spox of the Yemeni Armed Forces General Yahya Saree
Yemen chases zion#st settlers to the bunkers and halts operations at ‘Ben Gurion Airport’ with a hypersonic ballistic “Palestine2” missile launch.
zion*st settlers in ‘Ben Gurion Airport’ run to shelters amid missile alerts. Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip and in retaliation to the Israeli aggression against our country.
The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a hypersonic ballistic missile, “Palestine 2.”
The operation has successfully achieved its objective, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters, suspending airport operations.
What has been happening in Gaza for nearly two years is a clear confirmation of the enemy’s disregard for the blood of our people in Palestine and its disregard for the blood of Arabs and Muslims.
The unprecedented crime of genocide has not stopped, and the siege and starvation continue in full view of the entire world. How long will the nation, with its peoples and countries, continue to remain silent and in such a state of abandonment?
Has the blood of children and women in Gaza become insignificant to everyone? How long will this crime, this injustice, and this aggression continue?
We will persist to fulfill our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.
