Operation True Promise

The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution has awarded the “Order of Fath” to the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Division over the anti-Israeli “Operation True Promise.”  Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei gave the award to Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh during a ceremony. The Fath Medal is a symbol of successful operations by the soldiers of Islam and victors in great missions. It features three Palm leaves, the dome of Khorramshahr's Grand Mosque and the Flag of Iran. During his Friday Prayers sermons, Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the Iranian armed force for the missile barrage against Israeli-occupied territories dubbed as “Operation True Promise 2”. He described it as brilliant, completely lawful and legitimate. Iran carried out the operation in response to the Israeli crimes in the region, including the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

Hezbollah retaliation

The resistance movement, Hezbollah, continues with its retaliatory strikes into Israeli-occupied territories despite the regime’s aggression against Lebanon. Hezbollah says it launched a missile attack on the northern cities of Safed and Karmiel in northern occupied territories. The resistance movement also targeted a gathering of Israeli forces in the Bleida and Bar’am regions with rockets. Hezbollah says it has killed over two dozen Israeli commanders and wounded more than 130 others over the past five days. Israel and Lebanon have been engaged in daily clashes since the regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza last year. Israel launched a ground invasion of Lebanon earlier this month following days of deadly bombardment of the country.

Yemen anti-Israel campaign

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement says the country has still “much to show” in the campaign against Israel and its allies. Seyyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said Yemen will spare no effort in its support for Palestine. Houthi was speaking on the eve of the anniversary of Operation al-Aqsa Flood. He said the Operation revived the Palestinian cause and foiled Israeli plots. The Yemeni leader hailed as unprecedented Palestinian resistance in Gaza amid the US-Israeli genocide. Al-Houthi said the steadfastness of the Palestinian people has proven that military equipment and supplies are not the determining factor in battles. He also criticized the international inaction amid Israeli crimes and said some Arab states are even trying to distract attention away from Palestine. However, al-Houthi stressed that the demise of the Israeli regime remains inevitable despite the intensification of its crimes.
