    ⭕️ 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.

    — 🇮🇱 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.

        It’s important to remember that atrocities aren’t victories. More often they signal impotence and defeat.

    ❗️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.

    I included this because Armenia sits on the border with Iran and historically had a good relationship. Ever since the “velvet revolution” of 2018 (CIA backed coup) they’ve been less and less amenable.

    💠 Geopolitical analyst and former U.S. Army officer:

    🔹 It is unlikely that Trump will restart the “Freedom Project,” as on Monday three U.S. Navy destroyers, just like the Abraham Lincoln carrier on the first day of the war, were heavily attacked by Iranian subsonic cruise missiles and had to use their Phalanx point-defense systems to shoot them down at close range.

    🔹 What most people don’t realize is that Iran has not yet deployed its supersonic and hypersonic anti-ship missiles, and if they wanted to, they could have easily sunk our three destroyers in the Persian Gulf.

    🔹 Iranian leaders are by no means crazy; rather, they act with restraint and demonstrate that they have maintained their dominance over the United States without escalating real tensions.

    💠 MS NOW Network: CIA report reveals Trump’s bluffs about Iran

    🔹 CIA intelligence indicating that Iran has retained 70% of its missiles and 75% of its launchers does not align with the triumphant image Trump presents.

    🔹 Iran has managed to largely preserve its critical infrastructure and defense systems against extensive attacks.

    🔹 Whistleblowers warn that continuing this approach and ignoring Iran’s real resistance capabilities could lead to strategic miscalculations for the US and push the situation toward a costly and prolonged military stalemate.
