    ⭕️ Even the dead are not spared: Israeli settlers force Palestinian family to exhume father hours after burial near re-established Sa-Nur settlement

    In one of the most disturbing incidents reported in the occupied West Bank in recent months, a Palestinian family from the village of al-Asasa near Jenin says Israeli settlers forced them to dig up and rebury their 80-year-old father just hours after his funeral on Friday.

    The burial had been coordinated in advance with Israeli forces and took place in a long-standing cemetery on privately owned Palestinian land.

    Roughly an hour after the funeral, settlers from the recently re-established, illegal Sa-Nur settlement arrived carrying shovels and began digging around the fresh grave, shouting that the body had to be removed because it was allegedly “too close” to the settlement.

    Israeli occupation forces were present and confiscated some of the tools, but did not remove the settlers or stop the harassment. Fearing that their father’s remains would be desecrated, the grieving family was forced to exhume the body themselves and transport it to another village for reburial.

    The cemetery lies outside the settlement’s official boundaries, but the area is now under increasing pressure following Israel’s re-establishment of Sa-Nur, one of four settlements evacuated in 2005.

    Israeli ministers and settler leaders have openly celebrated Sa-Nur’s return as part of a broader drive to expand settlements across the occupied West Bank and eliminate the possibility of a Palestinian state.

    The UN human rights office condemned the incident as part of a wider pattern of the “dehumanization of Palestinians.” For many Palestinians, the message was unmistakable: under occupation, not even the dead are allowed to remain in peace.

    ❗️Israeli army chief says military urgently needs more soldiers

    According to The Times of Israel, Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in a closed-door session that the army urgently requires additional troops to sustain Israel’s so-called “multi-front war.”

    “I am not dealing with political or legislative processes – I am dealing with multi-front warfare and defeating the enemy,” Zamir reportedly said.

    He called on lawmakers to advance legislation to draft ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men, extend mandatory military service from 30 to 36 months, and increase the defense budget.

    People here often don’t discuss Armenia, however here is a good example of how utterly captured their prime minister is due to EU anti-Russian interference

    🇦🇲Armenia’s PM Pashinyan on Karabakh:

    They say we lost land. How was that land ours? How was it ours? Please explain, how was it ours?

    I don’t want to speak behind dead people’s backs, but let’s say under the control of a few generals who planted wheat there, for instance, let’s say, was that it? How was it ours? How? Explain it, how was it?

    Did we build a school there, did we build a kindergarten, did we build a factory, did we live there, a settlement… how was it ours? It was not ours. It was not ours.

    Yes you are seeing the leader of a country, who had a piece of land annexed amd ethnically cleansed, argue that the terrirory anexxed wasnt theirs. Why? Becuase he wants to give away more land to Türkiye, the biggest supporter of Azerbaijan who did the ethnic cleansing, (not to mention Türkiye’s own history with Armenia) to build a railway.

    Absolutely wretched.

        He’s even antagonized the Armenian Church, if you’re unaware, Armenia was the first Christian kingdom in history so its Chirch holds a massive cultural significance. Many are absolutely sick of him but unfortunately the EU has put a lot of effort behind anti-Russian and Pro-EU propaganda. It’s not helped by the fact that Azerbaijan and Russia have a good relationship show the country had no else else to really turn to.

        After, Israel, Türkiye is probably the most provocative entity in the region. Iran could do more to influence Armenia in my opinion, as the Iranians and Armenians are still largely fond of eachother.

        Azerbaijan needs a reality check as well, as it gets away with too much posturing.

      🇦🇲 Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan called the movement for returning of Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia a “fatal mistake”.

      “We are being accused of losing territories. But I want to clearly say that we did not lose territories. In fact, the territories the loss of which we are being accused for never belonged to us"

      Just because you are Christian does not make you white. You are just another dirty astatic like the rest of West Asia in the eyes of the imperialists.

      I hope Armenia can free itself from the delusion of western guarantees.

      🇦🇿💬🇦🇲🇪🇺Aliyev criticized EU observers on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

      If we fire even once, they’ll just run away as fast as they can, and there’ll be no trace of them left. But they’re behaving as if they’re protecting Armenia from us. There’s no need to protect Armenia from us. We’ve achieved what we wanted.

      Azerbaijan continues to be a chihuahua country, but in this case the threat is somewhat credible. Which also makes Pashinyan’s attempts to be diplomatic with them even more egregious.

      I wish Iran would force Baku to behave. Get these pan-turk nationalists to stay in their own lane.

    — 🇮🇱 It’s now 2026, a reality check for Israel after 3 years of war:

    🇵🇸 Gaza front:

    – Hamas has not been disarmed after almost three years of war.

    – Tunnel infrastructure in Gaza is intact, rocket arrays being slowly rebuilt.

    – Al-Qassam has approximately 25,000 fighters, the same amount as before Oct 7th.

    – No sign of an interim government, Hamas is still politically in control of Gaza.

    🇱🇧 Lebanon front:

    – Hezbollah has not been disarmed, neither North nor South of the Litani.

    – Hezbollah’s leadership has successfully reorganized and decentralized, and is now more resistant to assassination strikes than before.

    – Hezbollah retains the capability to launch long-range and medium-range rockets, drones and missiles into Israel.

    – The increasing use of FPV drones has rendered northern Israeli settlements into ghost towns, and significantly degraded the IDF’s freedom of movement in southern Lebanon.

    🇮🇷 Iran front:

    – The Islamic Republic is still firmly in power, and perhaps even more entrenched than before.

    – Iran’s ballistic missile program, drone force, and conventional capabilities are almost entirely intact and capable of threatening Israel.

    – Iran still possesses a large stockpile of highly-enriched uranium, nuclear breakout time is still at ~6 months to a year.

    – The Strait of Hormuz is now under Iranian control.

    – Most U.S. bases in the region have been rendered unusable and Israel’s Gulf allies are in the weakest position they’ve ever found themselves.

    🇾🇪 Yemen front:

    – Ansarallah (Houthis) still control the majority of Yemen.

    – Houthis still possess hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of drones, capable of targeting Israel.

    – The Bab Al-Mandab can be closed at any moment.

    In strategic terms, Israel has achieved nothing in all these three years.

    Except the destruction of Gaza’s civilian population and infrastructure.

      It’s nice to read this reality check after just a barriage of news on the damn Zionists commiting atrocities without any reprisal. Obviously, things are still horrid in Palestine and Southern Lebanon but it’s nice to see some aspects of their failures while everywhere on the internet moves to slience their critics and failures.

    🇮🇶❌️🇮🇱 — Satellite imagery has documented the dried-up lake in the Al-Nukhaib desert, where the Israeli army constructed a temporary airstrip approximately 1.7 km long, located 44 km south of Al-Nukhaib and 70 km from the Iraqi-Saudi border.

    31.66697°N, 42.44864°E
