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: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just 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.

The ICRC sub-delegation head in Gaza says the organization lacks the necessary equipment to assist in pulling out survivors from under the rubble following Israeli airstrikes.

Helpless and incapable of assisting Palestinians stuck under the rubble following continuous Israeli airstrikes, the International Committee of the Red Cross' (ICRC) sub-delegation head in Gaza, William Schomburg, announced, on Friday, that they did not have the heavy equipment or bulldozers needed to assist people trapped under rubble in the Gaza Strip.

"No, we do not have the heavy equipment needed for such work. However, we have been cooperating for a long time with the civil protection service and the police department [of Gaza], which are responsible for such operations," said Schomburg, adding, "We support them, and we have already organized training for them with our experts."

Moreover, the ICRC sub-delegation head confirmed that the group is "not involved in any negotiations on this issue [of bringing heavy equipment into Gaza], but we do not have bulldozers or other equipment needed for this."

Schomburg interestingly stressed that "this will happen in the next phase of the conflict, but it is too early now," despite the "astonishing" level of destruction, given that entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble because of relentless, indiscriminate Israeli airstrikes.

According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces have targeted an ambulance convoy departing from Al-Shifa Hospital heading to the Rafah border crossing. 

Ashraf al-Qudra, the Health Ministry Spokesperson, stated that the Red Cross was informed about the moving of the convoy in accordance with international law.

Al-Qudra maintained that the IOF targeted the convoy "at the gate of the hospital and then at the Ansar square, the occupation targeted the convoy in more than one location outside Al-Shifa hospital."

Palestinian media earlier reported that the strike led to dozens killed and injured.

While the Israeli forces claim that they targeted a vehicle used by a Hamas cell, close to a battle zone, footage from the scene of the massacre proves that these "operatives" were mainly children.
