🇾🇪🇾🇪⚔️🇸🇦 Senior Ansarullah official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, has announced that Yemen supports any move or action within Saudi Arabia aimed at overthrowing the rule of Mohammed bin Salman.
He emphasized that this support extends to actions undertaken by the public, the opposition, or even from within the royal family.

❗️MI5 chief claims Iran seeking to target UK military sites
Expand
MI5 Director General Ken McCallum has claimed that Iran is increasingly seeking to target military sites in Britain, citing what he described as a shift in Tehran’s ambitions.
According to Arab News, McCallum said the suspected incident near RAF Fairford was “not unique,” but declined to discuss the case because it remains under investigation. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was “almost certainly” behind the incident, despite UK authorities providing no public evidence establishing Tehran’s involvement.
The allegations follow the discovery of petrol in vans near RAF Fairford last month, prompting an investigation into a suspected plot against the military base, which has been used by US bombers involved in strikes on Iran.
Five men were arrested in connection with the investigation and subsequently released on bail. Neither the arrests nor the discovery of petrol independently establish Iranian involvement, and British authorities have yet to publicly substantiate their claims linking Tehran to the incident.

Beyond the fact that this is just complete horseshit, I would have to say,
“Yeah, I’d also want to strike the military sites of a country helping to wage war on me.”
It’s such a putrid display of Anglo arrogance to bawk with indignation when Iran declares that getting involved in the war against them will put a target on your back.
The Brits have interfered with Iran’s affairs, waged both a military and economic war on Iran for 47 years, and cooperated with the genocidal regimes who are currently threatening to wipe out Iran’s civilization. Yet they seriously think that they should be safe from Iranian response to their actions?
It still gobsmacks me how up-their own-ass colonial countries can be sometimes. Like it’s the response I expect, but I can’t help but just gawk at the level of disrespect.
🇾🇪🇾🇪⚔️🇸🇦 Report: Brigadier General Ammar Al-Judbi, Commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Presidential Guard of the Presidential Leadership Council, has been killed in the battles for Jabal Sabr, Taiz Governorate.
The strategic mountain is now firmly under Yemeni Ansarullah control.

How trust worthy is the UKMTO? I remember a rumor that they was limited in what and when it could report attacks by the USA.
They are being limited in how often they can report due to US pressure but they generally announce every attack that’s taken place. If not, Iran does so.
🇮🇱 A building in Tel Aviv that was damaged by Iranian ballistic missiles during the Ramadan War has collapsed while under repair.
To bring you up to speed, Iranian missile warheads hitting at speeds of between Mach 3-5, create huge amounts of kinetic energy that in turn create shock waves underground.
The waves damage the foundation of buildings within a radius of 500 meters.
Many high rises in the Occupied Palestine will be coming down soon as the cost of foundational repair exceeds that of demolition and rebuilding.

🇮🇱 An explosion has damaged the Intel factory in Kiryat Gat, Occupied Palestine.
Two injuries have been reported.
The blast happened as the ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu (Née. Benzion Mileikowsky) was visiting Kiryat Gat.

❗️Hezbollah announces $14,000 housing aid to families whose homes were destroyed by Israel
Expand
Hezbollah has announced a housing assistance program for families whose homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by Israeli attacks, with eligible households set to receive up to $14,000 for rent and furniture.
Hezbollah Executive Council chairman Ali Damoush said in a press conference on Tuesday that families in Beirut and its southern suburbs would receive $14,000, including $8,000 for furniture and $6,000 for rent. Eligible families elsewhere in Lebanon will receive $12,000, comprising $8,000 for furniture and $4,000 for rent, maintaining the same rates as the program introduced in 2024.
Payments will be distributed in four installments over one year, beginning with an initial payment of $3,500 for families in Beirut and its southern suburbs and $3,000 for those elsewhere in Lebanon.
Damoush also criticized the Lebanese government for failing to establish a program providing direct assistance to affected families. He said government efforts to remove rubble and implement other projects were part of broader infrastructure rehabilitation and did not directly compensate those who had suffered losses.
❗️Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global—the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund—has officially completed the divestment of $661 million from five major Israeli banks, Arab News reports.
The sweeping pullout follows a rigorous ethical review centering on the financial institutions’ direct complicity in financing West Bank settlements and abetting the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The targeted divestment, which includes institutions such as Bank Leumi, Bank Hapoalim, Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, FIBI Holdings, and First International Bank of Israel, marks a significant escalation in Oslo’s financial distancing from institutions tied to Israel’s military apparatus.
❗️Two US citizens reportedly caught using spy cameras in Beirut’s southern suburbs
Lebanese journalist Abdallah Kamh reported on social media that Lebanese resistance security personnel detained two US citizens of Asian appearance in Beirut’s southern suburbs several days ago after noticing them repeatedly walking around the Bir al-Abed area.
According to Kamh, a search of their belongings uncovered smart sunglasses equipped with GoPro cameras that could connect to smartphones and attach geolocation data to photographs, as well as a ring containing an audio recorder and location-tracking capabilities.
Citing an informed source, Kamh said the pair had allegedly taken advantage of assumptions that their appearance and Chinese ancestry would draw little suspicion in the area.
Their repeated visits reportedly prompted a resistance member to alert superiors and request their passports, which Kamh said identified them as US citizens rather than Chinese nationals.
— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 Latest updated map on the Taizz front, Yemen:
– Ansarallah have pushed into the Jabal Saber heights south of Taizz city, capturing the village of Al-Sarari and approaching the peak of Jabal Aroos.
– The PLC initiated a limited but successful counteroffensive in western Taizz city, expelling Ansarallah from Al-Hanjar checkpoint and the Hamraa heights east of it. Clashes are now centered around Al-Kasarah.
– PLC forces still control the critical mountain ‘Jabal Han’ northwest of Taizz city. As long as this is the case, it will be difficult for Ansarallah to keep control over Al-Hanjar checkpoint.

❗️Top Israeli rabbi issues ruling permitting settlers to steal Palestinian olive harvest
Expand
Israeli Rabbi Dov Lior has issued a religious ruling permitting Israeli settlers to take olives from Palestinian-owned land across the occupied West Bank, claiming that harvesting the crop demonstrates Jewish ownership of the land, according to Israeli Channel 13.
Lior argued that Palestinians had never legally purchased the land from Jews and therefore had no legitimate ownership rights over either the land or its produce.
He also claimed that Palestinians had already been compensated for planting olive trees through years of consuming their fruit, extending his ruling to groves located far from Israeli settlements.
The ruling comes amid escalating settler attacks on Palestinian farmers during the annual olive harvest, including assaults, crop theft, destruction of trees and restrictions on access to agricultural land. Palestinian farmers have faced growing obstacles to harvesting their own crops, while Israeli forces have also seized olives from Palestinian pickers.
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law, and a religious ruling does not override Palestinian property rights or authorize the seizure of their land and harvest.

From the way it reads, not only is it an incredibly shitty argument to validate doing it, it doesn’t even try to invoke religious teaching to do it yet claims religiosity anyway. The argumentation of it just reads like colonizer+capitalist: something something private property something something brutal entitlement.
First time engaging with settler colonialist’s rhetoric?
Yes and no. It’s definitely not the first time I’ve seen colonizer rhetoric. But the low effort nature of it in this case stands out to me. Like what is there to even unpack/debunk here. All they really said is “we own this because we say so and waves hands this is religious decree somehow.”
Sometimes, Colonizers don’t even bother with being creative.
— 🇮🇷 WATCH: The IRGC allowed an IRIB military correspondent to tour the Strait of Hormuz
The footage shows cruise missile launches towards violating vessels, minelaying by small boats in the southern lanes of the Strait, and tankers after being targeted.
The IRIB correspondent and his crew had to turn off their camera lights at night while sailing in the Strait of Hormuz to avoid being detected and targeted by the American navy.
