Palestinian leader to Al-Mayadeen: Cairo will witness meetings with Hamas to discuss its movement regarding negotiations
A Palestinian leader revealed to Al-Mayadeen on Thursday that Cairo will witness upcoming meetings with the Hamas movement, aiming to discuss the Egyptian move related to resuming negotiations on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas leader Osama Hamdan had confirmed a few days ago that the resistance, represented by the movement, “ is concerned with stopping the aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” explaining that talk of a 5-day truce, then returning to fighting, does not achieve the Palestinians’ demand.
In an interview with Al Mayadeen , Hamdan pointed out that the Israeli occupation is trying to achieve what it failed to achieve on the ground, reiterating that this "cannot happen."
He also said that the occupation "wants to retrieve its prisoners held by the resistance, and for the latter to raise the flag of surrender, so that it can then decide whether to stop the war or not."
Palestinian resistance targets occupation positions in besieged northern Gaza
The resistance in the Gaza Strip continues to target the Israeli occupation forces, on the 419th day of the "Al-Aqsa Flood".
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, bombed several positions of the occupation soldiers and their vehicles in the axes of their advance in the northern Gaza Strip, with a barrage of mortar shells, simultaneously.
In turn, the Martyr Omar Al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced that it had managed to detonate a side explosive device in an Israeli personnel carrier, in an operation it carried out on Wednesday morning.
The Martyr Omar Al-Qassem Forces confirmed that they had killed and wounded the tanker's personnel in the Al-Janina neighborhood, east of Rafah city, in the southern Gaza Strip.
While the resistance continues to carry out its operations against the occupation, inflicting more losses in personnel and equipment, the Israeli "army" acknowledged, two days ago, the killing of a soldier in the northern Gaza Strip , which has been under siege for more than 50 days.
Meanwhile, criticism continues in the occupying entity regarding the continuation of the war on the Gaza Strip, amidst the acknowledgment by officials and analysts of the inability to eliminate the resistance and Hamas movement.
Reserve officers frustrated: We did not fight to blow up a tunnel that will be rebuilt
Sergeant Omer Ben Hamo, a first class officer in the Israeli occupation army, expressed his shock at the settlement agreement in the north on the border with Lebanon.
Omer, who serves in the Yiftach Brigade, said that this agreement “puts our lives at risk for the sake of temporary calm, and keeping the situation this way is negligence.”
The Israeli soldier addressed Netanyahu, saying: “You know that you did not finish the mission, and that the enemy is improving. We sacrificed a lot and did a lot, but I do not understand this (agreement). I do not understand why we fought, in order to blow up a tunnel that they are building again.” He continued: “You sent me to fight against an enemy or against infrastructure. I know that my son will serve in the reserves there because we refuse to solve the problem.”
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper indicated that this frustration was expressed by many reserve soldiers.
In this context, Reserve Captain Omer Feldman, an artillery officer in an armored battalion, who served in the reserves for more than 200 days, half of them in the north, said, “This must be said: absolute victory does not exist on any front. Hezbollah’s senior leadership… will be rebuilt, and Lebanese citizens have returned to their homes, while our citizens are still living in hotels. This is a testimony to helplessness, and this is a political game at our expense."
Lebanon: Al-Mayadeen camera monitors the situation of the frontline towns in the south, which are resistant to occupation
Al-Mayadeen's correspondent reported that from Khiyam to Kfar Kila and Deir Mimas, passing through Markaba, Adaisseh and other border towns, the Lebanese army placed barriers at the entrances to the towns, to prevent citizens from clashing with the occupation soldiers, stressing that there is no Israeli presence on the ground at all, but the road is closed by the Lebanese army to prevent targeting civilians on it.
In the town of Khiyam, which the occupation failed to control, Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent from inside the town said that the extent of the destruction was observed on the western outskirts of the border town, while the town witnessed the return of residents to it despite the threats, and the presence of a “Merkava” tank belonging to the occupation on the western outskirts.
He explained that some of the occupation tanks retreated to areas hidden from Lebanese territory, pointing to the fear that grips the occupation forces inside the border towns that the displaced enter despite the closure of their entrances.
He also explained that the ceasefire exposed the lies of the occupation "army" regarding the points of deployment of its forces in Lebanese territory, noting that the points where the occupation is currently located are the same ones it reached during the past two months, contrary to the talk that was being promoted.
In addition, the reporter said that the Civil Defense teams are working to remove the rubble and open the road at the entrance to the tents in the chalet area.
He also pointed out that the bodies of a number of Hezbollah and Amal Movement martyrs were recovered from the Jalahiya area in the town of Khiam, which witnessed fierce battles in the last days of the war, amid the continued presence of a Merkava tank and a force of occupation soldiers in the area, where the soldiers shoot at anyone who approaches them.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent also monitored the situation on the outskirts of the border town of Taybeh, and in the Rab Thalathin-Adaisseh triangle, which witnessed fierce battles between the resistance and the occupation forces.
Al Mayadeen's camera also broadcast scenes of the situation in the town of Bint Jbeil, south of Lebanon, in light of the continued return of displaced people and the return of almost normal movement to it.
The mayor of Bint Jbeil, Afif Bazzi, told Al-Mayadeen that this return would not have been possible without the sacrifices of the resistance fighters, noting that work has begun to secure the return of the displaced.
Syria: The army confronts the terrorist attack in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib.. What are the latest developments?
The clashes that the Syrian army is waging against the terrorist militants continue in the western countryside of Aleppo and in the southern and southeastern countryside of Idlib, specifically in the vicinity of the city of Saraqib, according to what Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.
Our correspondent confirmed that the Syrian army had transferred large reinforcements to its advanced units on these two axes, while its air force focused during the daylight hours on targeting the militants’ supplies in the southern and southeastern Idlib countryside, specifically in the Jabal al-Zawiya areas, because they constitute the main supply reservoir for the so-called “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham” and “Jabhat al-Nusra” and other armed groups.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army temporarily cut off the international road, to ensure the safety of passersby coming from the central and southern provinces, heading towards Aleppo.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the Syrian army had confronted the terrorist attack, which is still ongoing, inflicting heavy losses in equipment and lives on the attacking terrorist organizations.
The ministry added that the army is confronting terrorist organizations with various means of fire and in cooperation with friendly forces, after the militants launched a large and extensive attack in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib, with large numbers of terrorists, using medium and heavy weapons, and targeting safe villages and towns and military points in those areas.
Earlier, our correspondent reported that more than 150 members of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham and its allies were killed on the second day of the battles, stressing that field hospitals in northern Idlib are crowded with dozens of wounded, some of whom are in critical condition.
In addition, the towns of Nubl and Zahraa in the northern countryside of Aleppo were subjected to violent shelling with more than 40 missiles, launched by "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" in the western countryside of Aleppo, which led to the injury of a number of residents and the destruction of homes.
