❗️Israeli army statements:

○ "Over the past few hours, IDF troops began conducting ground activity in the area of 'Shabura' in Rafah.
As part of the activity, the troops dismantled a number of terrorist infrastructure.

Simultaneously, IDF troops are continuing ground activity in northern and central Gaza.

In recent months, Hamas terrorists exploited a site in northern Gaza—which previously served as the 'Turkish' hospital—as a command and control center, from which they directed and carried out terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.
In response, IDF troops operated to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure at the site.

Furthermore, over the past few hours, the IAF has continued to target and dismantle terrorists and terrorist infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip.

The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip in order to protect the citizens of the State of Israel."

○ "A short while ago, the IDF struck a military site containing an underground terrorist infrastructure site in the Beqaa area in Lebanon, as well as a military site containing rocket launchers in southern Lebanon in which Hezbollah activity has been identified.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will operate to prevent any attempt by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to rebuild its forces."

❗️Jenin Camp Media Committee:

○ "The Israeli occupation continues its assault on Jenin city and its refugee camp for the 59th consecutive day, carrying out widespread home demolitions, arson attacks, and converting residential buildings into military outposts."

○ "In the past hours, Israeli forces have deployed additional tanks, military vehicles, and bulldozers to accelerate the demolition process."

○ "On Monday, occupation forces issued demolition notices for approximately 66 homes in the Hawashin and Al-Lub neighborhoods, as well as for Azzam Mosque, Joura Al-Dhahab, and Al-Samran neighborhood. The demolitions are being justified under the pretext of road expansion and new routes to facilitate the movement of Israeli military vehicles."

○ "Last night, Israeli forces set fire to several homes near the Saadi family council hall inside the camp. Meanwhile, they continue to block the road leading to Jenin Governmental Hospital from the camp’s entrance using dirt mounds."

○ "Israeli bulldozers have destroyed 100% of the streets in Jenin refugee camp and nearly 80% of the roads in Jenin city. Additionally, the residents of 3,200 homes have been displaced, while Jenin’s economy has suffered a sharp decline, exacerbating poverty rates among its population."

○ "Since the beginning of the assault, Israeli forces have forcibly evacuated 3,200 homes in the camp, bringing the total number of displaced residents to 21,000."

○ "The Israeli aggression on Jenin and its camp has resulted in the killing of 36 Palestinians, including two who were shot by Palestinian Authority security forces, which have been complicit in Israeli crimes by targeting and arresting resistance fighters."

○ "More than 227 Palestinians have been arrested or detained by Israeli forces since the start of the assault, with dozens subjected to field interrogations, beatings, and abuse."

❗️UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR):

"We, at the SOHR, are shocked at the fierce systematic cyber attacks and smear campaigns against SOHR and its platforms and accounts on social media. This coincides with unfounded accusations and baseless claims against SOHR of 'circulating lies about massacres and the mass genocide committed recently against people of the Alawite community in the Syrian coastline.'

Those claims contradict unrefuted evidence documented by the murderers themselves, when they appeared in video footages bragging about the systematic sectarian-based killings; let alone the statements by the Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa to Reuters about mass killings against the Alawites, as well as satellites images which showed corpses and mass graves.

The Syrian Observatory calls upon parties behind those attacks and campaigns to focus their efforts and redirect their funds to prevent similar massacres and violations and to deter racist rhetoric and language, instead of wasting those efforts and funds attempting to intimidate SOHR’s director and stifle his voice.

No matter how many fabricated reports or smear campaigns are launched, the attacks by “electronic flies” and efforts to falsify awareness can never erase facts about those heinous crimes.

Despite the smear campaigns and intimidation attempts, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights vows to continue supporting victims, countering injustice and disclosing facts whatever it costs."
