The situation in the Golan region.

Israeli forces are 28km from the major city of Daraa and just 17km from the capital, #Damascus.

Israeli forces have captured (occupied/invaded) 386.5 sqkm of area in southern Syria since the fall of Assad.

I don't hear anytone in "civilized world" condemning Israeli "Special Military Operation" in Syria. And none of the "nationalist" Syrian forces standing up or protesting ethnic cleansing and land grab by Israel.

if I don't steal it, somebody else will: Israel captures Syrian territory after Assad regime collapse

"The Israeli military captured territory on the Syrian side of the border in the Golan Heights on Sunday after the Assad regime collapsed, the IDF said in a statement.

"The IDF also took control over the strategic Syrian military outpost on Mount Hermon - the highest point on the border between the countries, Israeli officials said.

"Those in Syrian villages and towns along the border were asked by the #IDF to stay in their homes until further notice as it conducted dozens of air strikes against Syrian military bases, facilities and weapon depots."

Footage from Russian observation posts along the Bravo line in the Golan Heights, occupied by militants.

The Russian Armed Forces units withdrew from this territory at the very beginning of the uprising in the south, taking equipment and weapons with them - no trophies from the militants were seen in the footage.

Lebanese #Druze leader #WalidJumblatt accused #Israel of lying that a #Hezbollah missile struck Druze civilians in the occupied village of #MajdalShams.

“A lie and nothing but a lie," said Walid Jumblatt, about Israel’s claims that Hezbollah fired a missile at the Syrian Druze village, which is illegally occupied by Israel. A total of 12 children and teenagers were killed in the strike, leaving more than a dozen others wounded over the weekend. Israel is now using this as an excuse to attack Lebanon; however, leading Druze voices are accusing Israel of committing the massacre and using the event to try and divide #Arab populations prior to launching an attack on #Lebanon.

#Syria #GolanHeights #Occupation #IDF #Propaganda #Netanyahu #StopTheLies #SaveLebanon #StopIsrael

It just upsetting and infuriating to read media refer to Syrians killed in Golan Heights as Israelis.

International law, UN charter, EU and everyone except the freaking US where GenocideJoe decided to keep the illegal hand over of Occupied Golan Heights to Israel by Trump.

That does not make Syrian Druze living there for centuries Israeli citizens.

Why the fuck is media referring to them as "Israeli Druze? And why do they repeat the lies of IDF blaming the murder of innocent children there in Hezbollah when almost everyone else saying it was an Iron Dome that malfunctioned?

PS. The same media seems to have completely ignored the daily bombings of UNRWA schools and shelters by IDF causing many deaths, almost all of them women and children.

#Israel #Media #GolanHeights #Occupation #WarCrime #Media #Propaganda #Hypocrisy #Politics #Genocide #Inhumanity

The hypocrisy and pro Israeli bias of the media is making me sick.

People on the ground said it was an Israeli Iron Dome missile, Israeli medica saying it was an Israeli iron dome missile, but Netanyahu and his fascist gang blaming it on Hezbollah and calling the Syrian citizens living under Israeli occupation for Israeli citizens, so does the freaking media.

And of course IDF is using it to murder innocent people in Lebanon and justify their plans to escalate bombing campaign against Lebanon.

Because there is no way Israel dares entering Lebanon like they did in 82 and with the massive propaganda campaign going on right now the whole freaking #NATO and their Arab puppets will stand by the genocidal regime of Israel to defend their right to "retaliate" against "Iran backed" Hezbollah of Lebanon "killing innocent Israeli civilians".

This whole fucking world is insane.

The war monger criminal #Netanyahu and his war criminal military know this very well, so does the media, but they keep repeating the lie that the victims were Israelis not Syrians living under Israeli occupation.

Druze mourners protest Israeli ministers' presence at funeral after Golan attack (Anadolu Agency, 2024-07-28)

"... Footage aired by Israeli media showed mourners protesting the presence of Israeli ministers, including far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, at the funeral."

"Environment Protection Minister Idit Silman, Economy Minister Nir Barkat and Energy Minister Eli Cohen..."

"According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the #Druze Authorities Forum sent a letter to Israeli government ministers requesting them not to attend the funeral.

"'Do not come. Given the sensitivity of the situation, we ask not to turn this massacre into a political event. We demand a quiet religious funeral according to Druze customs,' read the letter."

Despite that.

Most western media still blame it on Hezbollah attacks

People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine: We offer our condolences to the occupied Syrian Arab people of Majdal Shams and its fighters, and it does not hide the horrible crime of the occupying army in the city of Majdal Shams. We emphasize our trust in what Hezbollah has issued and we ask our people and nation to act wisely and miss the opportunity for the occupation that tries to create between our people

#Israel #GolanHeights #Lebanon #IDF #Occupation #Hezbollah #Politics

A rocket attack on a football field in the town of Majdal Shams, occupied Golan Heights killed at least 12 people, with all the victims aged between 10 and 20.

Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the attack, with Axios, a #US news outlet, reporting that the group told the #UN that the incident was the result of an Israeli anti-rocket interceptor hitting the football pitch.

PS. Guess what the media and politicians will be repeating?
#GolanHeights #Levanon #Israel #IronDome #Military #Propaganda #Hezbollah

Massive explosions were visible after missile attacks against occupied Golan Heights from Lebanon.

Iron dome did not intercept those. It seems like #Israel is saving them for the planned invasion of #Lebanon.

Image of the explosion in Damascus that killed Iranian IRGC general and old friend of General #Soleimani who was killed by US drone during #Trump presidency.

Reza #Moisavi is one of the oldest and most senior member of Iranian Revolutionary guards with a long history of actions in Iraq and Syria fighting the #ISIS alongside Soleimani specially during the battle to prevent the fall of Baghdad into the hands of them.

Isrsel has not officially admitted to the killing, but sources in Israel saying that IDF is on high alert in northern Isrsel and occupied Golan heights awaiting a retaliation from groups close to Iran in the region.

#IRGC response to Israel assassination of 2 of it's commanders in #Damascus last week.

From pro Syrian telegram channel:

Israeli army bases in Golan Heights are targeted by IRGC and resistance forces in #Syria.

🔹According to our source, IRGC and resistance groups from the western suburbs of Daraa province, near the borders of the occupied territories, targeted illegal bases of the Zionist regime army in the occupied Golan heights with missile strikes.

🔹The intensity of this missile attack has been unprecedented in recent years.

Isn't it funny that #AlQaeda and #ISIS that are supposed to be ultra radical Muslim fanatics are completely quiet about the current conflict (As always), and instead attacking Syrian targets just like Israel does?

#palestine #Israel #Occupation #Apartheid #Politics #PeaceNow #StopTheWar #CeasefireNow

The Israeli army is firing on protestors in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, using rubber bullets and utilizing tear gas.

The story goes that the Israelis are building turbines for their settlements, which the Syrian citizenry are not fans of as they will be assets for the settlements and are illegitimate buildings upon occupied soil.

#GolanHeights #palestine #Israel #Occupation #Apartheid #Politics

At least 2 of the missiles launched by #Isrsel from occupied Golan Heights hit their target.

The target seems to be a manufacturing facility in suburbs of #Damascus.

This is part of the ongoing Israeli assault of Syria in the name of targeting "Iranian" installations.

There has been 0 reactions from the world in condemnation of these criminal actions by Netanyahu's regime.
