Hamas training for raid on Israel revealed | BBC News

Published

on



Analysis by the BBC has revealed that Hamas held multiple training exercises in Gaza, ahead of their deadly attack on Israel on 7th October which claimed 1,200 lives.

BBC Verify and BBC Arabic have established that Hamas held military exercises over three years and posted the evidence on social media.

They practised hostage-taking, raiding compounds and breaching Israel’s defences during these exercises, the last of which was held just 25 days before the attack.

Several armed Palestinian groups joined Hamas in the assault on Israel. The groups carried out joint drills in Gaza, including at a site less than 1km from the barrier with Israel.

The Ocotober attack on Israel provoked retaliation which has led to the deaths of more than 14,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the authorities there.

    A crash course on history of the so called "PALESTINIAN STATE": These are true facts which Hamas does not search for, what about you?

    1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state

    2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state.

    3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state.

    4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state.

    5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state.

    6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state.

    7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, not a Palestinian state.

    8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state.

    9. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state.

    10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state.

    11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state.

    12. Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid, not a Palestinian state.

    13. Before the Seleucid empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state.

    14. Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state.

    15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state.

    16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state.

    17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state.

    18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state.

    19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state.

    20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE.

    A little more history for those wanting to 'restore Palestine'.

    In 132 AD the Emperor Hadrian resolved to stamp the Jews and their religion out of existence. He sold all Jewish prisoners into slavery after the revolt of Bar Kikhba, forbade the teaching of the Torah, renamed the province Syria Palaestina, and changed Jerusalem’s name to Aelia Capitolina. He renamed Israel to wipe out the national identity of Israel and the Jews.

    So if you are looking to 'restore Palestine to the Palestinians', you need to give it back to the Jews

    When are you clowns at the BBC going to stop spreading fake stories? Why haven´t you investigated the crimes committed by Hamas against women and girls who were brutally murdered and then raped while their bodies wee still warm? The BBC has no pride, moral or dignity. All they do is worship Hamas´s heinous crimes against humanity. There are official reports that the BBC which was losing money has gotten some handsome donations by Hamas backed organizations. The only condition was they could only parrot what Hamas was feeding them and nothing else. So for all you people out there worshipping the devil you know what channel to watch.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
