Soldier testimony from Gaza:“[...] I was involved in approving a target with 300 collateral damage. [It was when] IDF forces entered for maneuvering inside the [Gaza] Strip and encountered a very very prepared [Hamas] battalion, good soldiers, strong soldiers. There were many clashes. And then there was a total amok, like to take down the commander of this battalion [but] we couldn’t precisely say where this person was. The strikes on Gaza — they’re in a very very very dense [area.] [...] So even if you get to a relatively precise polygon (a defined area in which the designated subject of a strike is expected to be), you can get very very high collateral damage. So we got to a relatively narrow polygon, and there we kind of stopped. We didn’t manage to get more intelligence that would narrow us down more than this polygon. They said: He is killing soldiers now, he needs to be hit [...] They really wanted to kill this person. And it was the kind of target where it was like exception, exception, exception and in the end it was approved. I know that it went up, I think at least to the chief of staff. The very least a brigadier general, but I believe that further [up,]” ********** This soldier describes the strike on Ibrahim Biari, commander of the Central Jabalia Battalion, in which 126 people, including 68 children, were killed. Such an enormous death toll was not a violation of IDF procedures. In fact, even twice as many civilian deaths would not have exceeded the collateral damage the IDF had permitted. This was not the only instance in which the IDF authorised hundreds of civilian deaths as collateral damage, but the threshold approved for Biari was not the standard one. The standard, and for that reason, much deadlier collateral-damage threshold was much lower. For the period between October 2023 and at least until December 2024, the IDF allowed up to 20 civilians to be killed as collateral damage for every person deemed a Hamas operative, whether a low-ranking militant or a truck driver.

🔴|Amr Moussa: Betting on Iran’s collapse was a mistake, US-Israeli calculations failed to materialize October 13, 2026 | Cairo Amr Moussa, former Secretary-General of the Arab League, issued a statement explicitly highlighting the strategic failure of the US and Israel: "US and Israeli military attacks on Iran failed to achieve their objectives. The aggressors had anticipated that the Iranian regime would collapse rapidly once the attacks began, but their calculations did not materialize." This is not Iranian propaganda. These are the exact words of the former Secretary-General of the Arab League. Who is Amr Moussa? Amr Moussa. An Egyptian diplomat. Former Secretary-General of the Arab League. Former Foreign Minister of Egypt. He is not a member of the "Axis of Resistance." He is not an ally of Iran. He is not a "mouthpiece for the Houthis." He is one of the most senior diplomats in the Arab world. He served as Egypt's Foreign Minister during the Mubarak era. He served as Secretary-General of the Arab League for a decade. He represents the Arab establishment. His statement is not "anti-American propaganda." It is an acknowledgment by the Arab establishment of the strategic failure of the US and Israel. What did the aggressors expect? On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched a joint military aggression against Iran. They assassinated Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. They bombed the "Tree of Purity" (Shajarat al-Tahara) Elementary School in Minab, resulting in the martyrdom of 165 to 168 teachers and students, 120 of whom were girls aged 7 to 12. They destroyed over 80,000 residential homes. What did the US and Israel expect? They expected Iran to collapse. They expected the Iranian leadership to disintegrate following Khamenei's assassination. They expected the Iranian people to take to the streets and overthrow the regime after the bombings. They expected the Iranian economy to collapse under sanctions. They expected Iran to capitulate after the military strikes. They were completely wrong. Why did the calculations fail? First, the Iranian leadership did not disintegrate. Khamenei was martyred, yet the Iranian leadership continued to function. Pezeshkian continues to preside over World Post Day ceremonies. Universities in Iran remain open. Iranian missiles continue to launch. The Iranian system has proven more resilient than U.S. calculations anticipated. Second, the Iranian people did not take to the streets to overthrow the regime. Over 80,000 homes were destroyed. In Minab, 168 teachers and students lost their lives. Zahra Golpayegani died at just 14 months old. Yet, the Iranian people did not join the counter-revolution. They stood firm. They continued to build. Third, Iran's economy did not collapse. The U.S. imposed a maritime blockade on Iran. Since July 14, the U.S. has blockaded Iranian ports, paralyzing four merchant vessels and forcing 135 ships to turn back within three months. However, Iran shares borders with 15 countries. Its overland trade corridors remain fully operational. Iran has signed a 20-year strategic partnership treaty with Russia and a 25-year comprehensive cooperation agreement with China. Iran is a full member of both the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS. Fourth, Iran's military capabilities were not crippled. Thirty ballistic and hypersonic missiles were launched from Isfahan. A fleet of 136 Shahed-136 drones covered the entire territory. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy struck and set ablaze at least four violating oil tankers in the Strait. The U.S. Fifth Fleet is no longer in the Persian Gulf. IRGC advisor Brigadier General Fadavi announced that U.S. forces have withdrawn more than 1,000 kilometers from Iran's borders. For the first time in history, not a single U.S. warship is present in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, or even the northern Indian Ocean. The U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain was severely damaged by an Iranian strike. Losses exceeded $400 million, rendering the base "unusable in the short term." Mousa is right. Mousa made it clear: betting on Iran's collapse is a mistake. But it is not just Musa who is speaking. The U.S. Fifth Fleet has withdrawn 1,000 kilometers from the Persian Gulf. The U.S. base in Bahrain has been destroyed. Riyadh Airport was struck; Saudi Arabia has acknowledged 12 deaths and 309 injuries. Riyadh Airport is closed, and around 300 flights have been grounded. Operations at the airports in Dammam, Jizan, Najran, and Taif have been completely paralyzed. Yemeni armed forces control the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Missiles from Yemeni armed forces have landed on the runways in Riyadh. Yemeni armed forces have targeted four Saudi Aramco oil facilities. Saudi Arabia’s two oil export routes the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab Strait are both within the firing range of the Resistance Front. The U.S.-Israel-Epstein regime can continue to bomb. They can continue to assassinate. They can continue to impose sanctions. But they cannot change the fact: Iran has not collapsed. Iran is fighting back. Iran is advancing. Long live Iran. Long live the Resistance.
