BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program

Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

  • Day 317 of Israeli genocide in Gaza: 40,099 killed, 92,609 injured

On day 317 of the genocide in Gaza, the total number of Palestinians killed since the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip started on October 7 has risen to 40,099, in addition to 92,609 injuries, according to the daily report published by the Health Ministry in Gaza on Saturday.

"Israel" committed two massacres in 24 hours, killing 25 Palestinians and injuring 72 others, the ministry added.

While some were transported to partially functioning hospitals, many Palesitians remain trapped beneath the rubble with rescue crews unable to reach them.

Dr. Marwan al-Hams, director of field hospitals at the Palestinian Ministry of Health, told The Guardian, earlier this year “This figure, 40,000, includes only those bodies that have been recovered and buried.”

“New procedures are being developed to include those who are missing or trapped beneath the rubble in the official death toll, but these have not yet been implemented,” he stressed.

Dr. Hams estimates that approximately 10,000 people remain trapped beneath buildings leveled by the Israeli occupation army, due to a critical shortage of heavy machinery and fuel necessary to clear the steel and concrete debris in search of them.

In the past 10 months, the Israeli aggression has led to mass displacement into overcrowded shelters and makeshift tents, hunger due to dwindling aid shipments, and dire shortages of clean water and sanitation, which have led to the spread of diseases.

Hospitals have been bombed and besieged, with their supplies of medicines, equipment, and fuel cut off, medical staff detained or killed, and wards overflowing with patients.

“People who have died as a result of the indirect impacts of the war, such as disease, starvation, and the collapse of the healthcare system, are not included in the war death toll,” Dr. Hams said as quoted by The Guardian. “A committee will be formed to count these victims, and it will begin its work immediately after the war ends,” he added.

Following previous Israeli aggressions on Gaza between 2009 and 2021, United Nations investigators compiled their lists of Palestinian martyrs, which closely matched those from Gaza's Health Ministry.

“Regrettably, we have considerable experience coordinating casualty figures with the Ministry of Health every few years,” said Farhan Haq, a spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General. “Their numbers have consistently been proven to be generally accurate.”
