All 5 other journalists inside the tent were also killed, making a total of 7 dead journalists in one day, and the last batch of international journalists in northern Gaza.

No one is left.

—❗️🇸🇾 BREAKING: While earlier reports of massacres at hospitals in As-Suwayda last month were proven to be false, footage today confirms that an execution was carried out by HTS or HTS-affiliated government forces against doctors and nurses at a hospital in As-Suwayda yesterday

In this video, we can see a doctor being dragged onto the floor, put a gun to his head, and executed at point blank range — presumably for being Druze or not being supportive of the government.

— An article being spread, allegedly written by Imam Khomeini's granddaughter, about needing to work together with the far-right and the 'Patriot Front', is fake.

Although many Muslims, including Iranians, do in fact agree that strategic alliances with right wing groups in the West is beneficial.

The Twitter account from which it originates is based in the United Kingdom and likely run by an Indian or Pakistani, using an AI profile picture.

Imam Khomeini only has one granddaughter named Zahra, who is in her 60s, and she's a liberal.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Due to the incompetence of Masoud Pezeshkian's administration, the water crisis in Iran has worsened severely

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian: 'We are in a severe and unmanagable crisis. We have almost ran out of water. If anybody has any suggestions, please come and tell us what to do. Otherwise we will need to keep cutting off the water.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

I have heard, and this is not a joke, that the government is thinking of opening a 'hotline' where citizens can give suggestions on the situation, or, to voluntarily offer to cut their water usage for periods during the day.

— 🇸🇾 NOTE: In the video, the doctor can be seen attacking an HTS soldier before being executed

While fighting is his right, it also is obviously not a smart thing to do in this situation.

— 🇵🇸 Full statement by martyred journalist Anas Al-Sharif, written 4 months ago, which he requested to be published in case he was killed by Israel:

'This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final.

I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.'

This, for some reason, broke me in a way I haven't felt for many months.

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: The deceased Israeli settler has been identified as 91-year-old Olga Weissberg, whom Hebrew media claims was a 'Holocaust survivor' and succumbed to her wounds yesterday in Rehovot

During the conflict, Hebrew media reported that 95-year-old Ivette Shmilovitz, who was killed on June 17, was also a Holocaust survivor.

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Failed and disgraced Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, implies that Iran shouldn't follow an independent path:

'There are two ways. First is the way of independence, which will lead to war and a lot of bad things. Second is the way of compromise and peace.

If you want independence, you have to be prepared to suffer and pay a much bigger price, and likely even have another war imposed on you. I'm not sure if this is worth it, and if this is the right path.

Okay, so you want independence? You don't want to negotiate? Okay, we'll go back to war. We'll hit them, and rebuild our capabilities. Then what? They'll just hit us back. It's all useless. But anyways, we won't surrender.'
