Media War: Israel Bombs More of Its Own Captives

Military expert Nidal Abu Zeid said the statement by the Israeli occupation forces of retrieving the bodies of captives is an ambiguous announcement that lacked clarity as conflicting reports continue regarding the method of retrieving the bodies bearing in mind they were found in the Hamad Residential City, west of Khan Yunis.

Israel falseness

Abu Zeid said the Israeli 98th Paratroopers Brigade fought in the area and withdrew from it last April. The resistance media, in a video clip, shows the falseness of what the Israeli army are saying and reinforces their view that it is Israeli warplanes that killed its own prisoners.

The military and strategic expert says it seems this happened last June based on tracking the timing of the Israeli army raids when it targeted Hamad Residential City then.

Abu Zeid pointed out the Palestinian resistance fighters and after 319 days of fighting, stripped the occupation’s concept of absolute victory that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about four months ago.

Absolute victory, no!

He added the Israeli occupation neither achieved a tactical victory and prevented the resistance from launching attacks, nor an operational victory and withered the resistance, nor of a strategic victory by eliminating the resistance.

Abu Zeid added an intelligence war is taking place behind the scenes between the resistance and Israel with the latter making strenuous efforts to recruit agents to access any information. He pointed out it indicates the Israeli occupation exhausted its “target bank” and lost its  intelligence ability to identify new targets.

Accept!

The occupation’s technical and technological intelligence is incapable of stripping the resistance of its capabilities in Information operations (IO) gathering that feed the implementations of the operations orders, which makes them operationally lost, he said.

This explains that the Israeli army is aware of this field reality and why is pushing its political leadership towards accepting the terms of the negotiations which they continue to reject, at least for the time being.

Abu Zeid also confirmed in his military analysis of the Gaza that the geographical triangle that includes Tel al-Hawa, Khan Yunis, Tel al-Sultan have become a major disturbance and it is why the Israeli army are trying to stay away from direct engagement with the resistance in these areas to avoid major losses. This explains the noticeable increase in the use of drones and aerial bombardment the strategic expert concluded according to the Khaberni news website.

Oman Mediates US-Houthi Ceasefire

Oman on Tuesday announced that its mediatory efforts led to a ceasefire between the US and Houthis in Yemen, after President Donald Trump said the group will not be carrying out attacks on commercial ships.

“Following recent discussions and contacts conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana’a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides,” Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said in a statement on X.

“In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping,” he added.

Expressing appreciation for both parties’ cooperation, Albusaidi said: “The Sultanate of Oman expresses its gratitude to both parties for their constructive approach that led to this welcome outcome, and hopes that it will lead to further progress on many regional issues towards achieving justice, peace, and prosperity for all.”

Houthis started attacking shipping lanes in the Red and Arabian seas after Israel’s war in Gaza, in solidarity with the Palestinians.

In March, Trump launched a military operation against the Yemeni group.

Earlier, during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the White House, Trump said Houthis informed them they will not be carrying out additional attacks on commercial ships, and the US will reciprocate by halting attacks on Yemen, according to Anadolu.

Famine: Hundreds of Thousands Eat Every 2-3 Days in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one meal every two or three days amid a crippling Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday.

“More than 66,000 children in Gaza are suffering from severe malnutrition,” UNRWA spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna told Al-Ghad TV in an interview.

Since March 2, Israel has kept Gaza’s crossings closed to food, medical, and humanitarian aid, deepening an already humanitarian crisis in the enclave, according to government, human rights, and international reports.

Figures released by Gaza’s government media office showed that at least 57 Palestinians have died of starvation since October 2023.

Nearly 2.4 million people in Gaza live completely dependent on humanitarian aid, according to World Bank data.

“UNRWA will not be part of the new Israeli plan” for aid distribution in Gaza, as the plan “doesn’t adhere to UN standards at all,” Abu Hasna said.

On Sunday night, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a plan to distribute aid in the blockaded enclave through private security contractors.

The plan, however, was rejected by the UN and dozens of international aid groups, saying it runs against humanitarian principles, is logistically unworkable, and could put Palestinian civilians and staffers in harm’s way.

The UN Humanitarian Country Team in Gaza said on Sunday night that it “can only support plans that respect the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, independence, and impartiality,” according to Anadolu.

More than 52,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
