Hunters in Beqaa believed they captured a fox, but reality was deceiving:

National Center for Geophysics: A 3.4-magnitude earthquake was felt by the residents of Jbeil and the surrounding areas.

The target was likely the new ISIS leader.

Remarkably, both leaders Al-Baghdadi and Al-Qurayshi would have been found taking refuge in rebel-held Idlib, meters away from the Turkey.

Idlib is protected by NATO's Turkey and Syria is barred from liberating it due to US-EU pressure

Muqtada condemns the attack on UAE, and violence in general, calling the group terrorist, and calls for peace in Iraq and dialogue with the Gulf concerning their normalization deals and war in Yemen.

Confirmed: Al-Qurayshi is dead 🎉 twitter.com/LebUpdate/sta…

Regarding what the USA said, that Al-Qurashi ‘killed himself and his family’ by detonating an explosive device he was wearing, this is misinformation.

His body is intact, with only bullet wounds to the back of his head. No signs of any body damage.

Note: The good spelling is ‘Qurashi’.

⋯ His leg is missing since 2015-2016, from a drone strike in Mosul.

His body is intact.

Ibn Baz, former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, was a flat-earther who said the earth doesn't rotate. With a scholar being this ignorant, it's hard to believe his followers will be any smarter.

What is funnier, is that they wrote the words “Labbayk Syria” which is a great sin in the teaching of Ibn Baz, as the word “labbayk” can only be said to address God.

Statement issued by Hamas

"The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, denounces what a group of people did by burning pictures of Lebanese and Iranian leaders in the southern Gaza Strip, today.

It is not correct for any person or entity to exploit the climate of freedoms in the Gaza Strip to offend our Arab and Muslim brothers.

What the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah are doing in support of the Palestinian resistance deserves thanks and appreciation.

Hamas will remain loyal to all those who support our Palestinian people and their resistance, and to all the peoples of our Arab and Islamic nation that have spared no effort to support our cause."
