The Mufti of the Sultanate of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Hamad Al-Khalili, praised the retaliatory military operation by Iran against the Israeli occupation.
In a statement published on X, Sheikh Al-Khalili said that what is being reported by the media about the "brave Iranian response to the Israeli occupation is truly pleasing," hoping that it would bear its fruit soon.
إن ما تناقلته وسائل الإعلام عن رد جريء للجمهورية الإسلامية الإيرانية على الكيـ.ـان الصهيـ.ـوني؛ أمر يسر الخاطر حقا، وعسى أن يؤتي أُكُله عما قريب. نحيي هذه الخطوة، ونتطلع إلى ما يكسر شوكة الصهـ.ـاينة وأعوانهم ويخلِّص المسلمين من شرورهم. pic.twitter.com/wnJWdlS0fh

He lauded this step and emphasized "We are looking forward to anything that breaks the power of the Zionists and their supporters, freeing Muslims of their evils."
Sheikh Al-Khalili praised the Iranian initiative and its likes, stressing that such moves protect the Ummah's prestige and presence.
He hoped this retaliation has "pained Zionism and those who support it" and contributed to deterring the forces of evil.
Sheikh Al-Khalili concluded his statement by calling on the entire Ummah to take full, and not just partial, serious action toward supporting the oppressed Palestinians in Gaza, as this is the preparation of force that God Almighty commanded in His saying "Prepare against them whatever force you can."
Strategic failure for 'Israel'
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said today that the night of Iran's response to the targeting of the consulate in Damascus was a "strategic farce" for the occupation entity.
The daily spoke of a "strategic failure" suffered by "Israel," noting that "Israel was enslaved for two weeks, in the midst of tension that paralyzed it, after it carried out the assassination" of the senior IRGC advisors in the Iranian consulate in Syria two weeks ago.
"Why was an assassination carried out that could lead to a confrontation much more complex than it currently is in the North and South, while the story there is also far from over?" it questioned.
Taking aim at Prime Minister Netanyahu, his government, in addition to military and security top officials, the outlet mockingly asked, "How are leaders, who have previously approved several times plans for invading Rafah, which has not happened yet, supposed to threaten Tehran?"
In the face of this, the outlet found that the response for this failure would be "another classic Israeli answer," which is, "wrong, we were wrong, we made a mistake."
Likewise, it pointed out that intelligence estimates indicated that Iran "will not change its way of operating" if the Israeli army were to assassinate one of its figures in Damascus, on sovereign Iranian soil.
