Genocide in Gaza
Israel continues to rain bombs and shells on Gaza, killing around two dozen civilians in its latest strikes on the besieged territory. The regime’s fresh attacks on Gaza City took the lives of at least 19 Palestinians, including women and children. Three other women were killed in an attack on a house in al-Shati refugee camp. On the ground, heavy fighting is underway between Israeli forces and resistance fighters. The regime says 33 of its soldiers have been wounded in clashes in Gaza in the past 48 hours. Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October last year. More than 37,200 people, mostly women and children, have been killed since then.
Israel Lebanon strikes
An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in southern Lebanon has left two civilians dead and 15 others wounded. The Israeli attack took place in the town of Janata early on Friday. The regime’s fighter jets destroyed a two-story building with missiles, reducing it to rubble. Following the attack, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah fired rockets at Israeli military bases in the occupied territories. The group has time and again warned that if Israel keeps crossing the red lines by targeting Lebanese civilians, it will pay the price of its action with blood. Tensions are running high along the southern Lebanese border ever since the Israeli regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza. The two sides have been exchanging fire almost on a daily basis.
Leader Hajj message
The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution has praised the magnificent congregation of Muslims in this year’s Hajj rituals, describing it as a source for bolstering the reassurance and confidence among the Muslims worldwide. In a message on the occasion of the annual Hajj rituals, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the complex rituals instill intimidation and trepidation among the enemies and ill-wishers. The leader also highlighted the importance of this year's bara'at; the ritual of denouncing polytheism, saying it must extend beyond the time and place of Hajj to all Muslim countries and cities worldwide and encompass the general population. Ayatollah Khamenei also urged Muslims to align their thoughts and actions more closely with the luminous and lofty teachings of Hajj. The leader’s full message will be released on Saturday.
