Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz was invited by the United States to attend the NATO summit held in Washington later in July, the Israeli Foreign Ministry revealed on Friday.

"Israeli Foreign Minister Katz has received an invitation from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to attend a NATO summit, which will be held in the presence of US President [Joe] Biden on July 9 in Washington to mark the 75th anniversary of the NATO alliance," the ministry's statement read.

Earlier today, the Financial Times reported that Washington had sent invitations to several Israeli and Arab officials for the #NATO summit, which will take place on July 9-11.

In a related context, the #US also invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress in July.

Sources to #AlMayadeen reported that four Israeli soldiers were killed in the northern #Gaza Strip on Friday, as multiple rescue helicopters were seen above the besieged territory in a short span of time.

In just two days, the Palestinian Resistance detonated more than 10 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including an unexploded Israeli bomb, managing to damage or destroy at least eight Israeli military vehicles and inflict casualties among troops.

In a remarkable operation on Friday, al-Qu-ds Bri-ga-des said that its fighters eliminated an Israeli force that it lured into a building booby-trapped with several explosives situated in a tunnel and an exploded Israeli F-16-launched bomb.

It added that the Israeli soldiers were killed in a building in al-Shujaiya neighborhood.

The escalating operations in al-Shujaiya show the falsity of Israeli claims, made back in January this year, of dismantling the Palestinian Resistance's military apparatus in the northern Gaza Strip. Currently, the newly reordered invasion into al-Shujaiya has been costly and difficult to execute, as Resistance fighters prove their readiness to defend against Israeli onslaughts.

Gallant changed his mind, backtracks on wanting war with Lebanon

In a recent visit to the United States, Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant engaged in discussions with American officials on critical matters concerning the ongoing wars the Israeli occupation is waging, particularly focusing on the major fronts in Gaza and Lebanon.

According to a report by The New York Times, American officials noted a significant shift in Gallant's stance on what he previously termed the "destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah."

Initially, following October 7's Operation al-Aqsa Flood, Gallant's position was that "Israel should have responded by trying to destroy both Hamas and Hezbollah." However, his view has evolved, now suggesting that "opening a new front would be undesirable."

The newspaper highlighted that US officials believe the Israeli government is divided over the "wisdom of opening a larger front with Hezbollah in the north."

Israeli Channel 12 also reported on the pressure the Lebanese front exerts on the Israeli government and its military, revealing that the concern extends beyond the Israeli occupation to Washington as well.

US officials have expressed that halting the fighting in Gaza would be the safest way to "defuse friction between Israel and Hezbollah," as conveyed by The New York Times.

The report further mentioned that President Biden's plan has come into question due to "additional demands from Hamas and ambiguous statements from Netanyahu."

The Biden Administration has strongly urged "Israel" to not go to war with Lebanon since it would be catastrophic for both sides and potentially ignite a regional war, especially if US intervention is involved. Additionally, the United States' support for "Israel" will immensely affect Biden's presidential campaign, diminishing the votes of Arab Americans and progressives.

'Israel' has also been at war with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas since October 7, and has not been able to achieve any victories. Hamas is a significantly smaller group than the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah, essentially lacking high-quality and advanced equipment and artillery.

Therefore, since "Israel" has not been able to defeat Hamas within these last eight months, the possibility of 'Israel' winning a war against Hezbollah is slim.

Tensions have heightened between Lebanon and "Israel" with the Israelis escalating their attacks further into Lebanese territory and threatening to send the country "back to the Stone Age." As a result, Media around the globe is speculating if there is a possibility for a full-scale war with 'Israel.'

In an article written on Diwan, a blog from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says that "Israel" has a lot to lose should they decide to launch a full-scale invasion of Lebanon.

We eliminated a zionist force that we lured into a building with a tunnel entrance rigged with several high-explosive devices.

The house was also rigged with a bomb from an F16 missile that the enemy had launched at peaceful citizens but did not explode.

Our engineers worked on reusing, activating, and detonating it against the force in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
“Shuja’iyya Neighborhood Will Remain Unbreakable, and the Occupation Will Leave Defeated and Humiliated

The defeated occupation wages war on unarmed civilians and displaced people in their tents to compensate for its utter failure against the resistance.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that the defeated zionist entity has intensified its war on unarmed civilians and displaced people in their tents and those safe in their homes in recent days, aiming to kill as many as possible and continue to exhaust and displace them as compensation for its utter failure against the resistance.

The cowardly zionist enemy's recent focus on areas crowded with displaced people in Al-Mawasi, west of Rafah, which it claimed to be safe, and the ruthless bombardment of the displaced people's tents, along with the intensified shelling of civilians safe in their homes in Shuja’iyya neighborhood without prior warning after announcing a new military operation in the neighborhood, and the continued targeting of citizens' homes over their inhabitants in various areas of the Strip, up to the deliberate targeting of Civil Defense teams, which resulted in the martyrdom of three of them while performing their humanitarian duty. All of these crimes are a stain on forehead of humanity and once again confirm that this criminal entity has no vision or goal in the Strip except for revenge, destruction, displacement, killing, and committing massacres and war crimes.

These crimes continue while the criminal American administration continues to provide military and political support to the zionist entity, and amid the complicity of the international community, which stands as a mere spectator to these massacres, without any actual will to pressure for stopping the zionist war crimes.

The new aggression on Shuja’iyya neighborhood will fail as it has failed in previous times, and the neighborhood, like the camps and neighborhoods of Rafah, Khan Younis, Gaza, the central and northern areas, will remain unbreakable. The occupation soldiers within will receive more blows and ambushes, and they will leave again defeated and humiliated as they have before.

Clashes are raging between Gaza’s resistance and invading Israeli troops in the southernmost city of Rafah and Tal al-Hawa and Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City in the north, where the Israeli army is taking heavy losses.

Resistance groups, led by Qassam Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades are using machine guns, anti-tank and mortar shells, high explosive devices, unexploded Israeli bombs, and more.

At least four soldiers have been announced dead, and 10 injured, several of them seriously, but details have yet to emerge. Field reports indicate the deaths are higher.

A while ago, Al-Quds Brigades recycled an unexploded F-16 missile to rig a house it lured soldiers into in Shujaiya, using a tunnel entrance rigged with high explosive devices. In Tal al-Hawa, Qassam Brigades targeted soldiers holed up in a house with a Thermobaric Rocket, inflicting casualties.

Helicopters have been spotted evacuating the dead and injured soldiers from south and north of the strip.

The Israeli army claimed yesterday that it was wrapping up its operations in Rafah, but clashes have escalated today. The army re-entered Gaza City’s Shujaiya yesterday after having announced to the world that the resistance had been eliminated there.

Shujaiya has come be known as a historical graveyard for Israeli soldiers – not just post October 7, but in previous Gaza battles.

It is described as the second most important stronghold for Hamas and the PIJ, after Jabalia.

Talk about thinking on your feet.

It may not be as single-handedly powerful as re-routing 80% of modern shipping, but, that has got a Weapon of The Year award for sure. Has not been done that I know of on munitions such as this.

I posted this because of the unchanging amused yet smug expression on her face, eyes hard as flint. She obviously cares not a jot at the accusation of aiding and supporting genocide in Gaza - none of them do.

"Naval blockade" in Red and Suez: Russia sends a large load of anti-ship hypersonic missiles to Hezbollah, Houthi and H. Haftar! 29.06.2024
There will be major attacks against ships

A big thriller is unfolding in Libya and especially in the Middle East. US Defense and Intelligence officials are concerned that Russia will send a large shipment of anti-ship hypersonic cruise missiles to the Houthis – perhaps already has – to enforce a naval blockade of the Eritrean region.

In practice, the Houthis have managed with continuous attacks to impose a partial naval blockade as many ships do not use the Suez Canal but prefer to cross the African border as the maps at the end of the text show.

The Russian shipment of anti-ship missiles for the Houthis

An Israeli invasion of South Lebanon and a full-scale war with Hezbollah could potentially involve not only Iran, but also Russia, US intelligence officials say.

Fears of what current and former US officials have described as "secondary" and "tertiary" effects of an Israeli ground attack on Hezbollah are fueled by reports that Russia is considering stepping up support for the so-called "Axis of Resistance"

Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering providing the Houthi rebels with anti-ship cruise missiles, a senior US official told MEE, citing information and speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive report.

"If Israel were to attack inside Lebanon, it would likely further deepen the military relationship that Iran has with Russia to help Hezbollah defend itself ," William Usher, a former senior CIA analyst for the Middle East, told MEE.

"Russia could already have decided how to help the Houthis."
