Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades of Iraq warned Washington against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

According to Lebanese news outlet Al-Ahed, the group stressed that "Palestine is not Ukraine" and that any interference or support the US extends to the Israeli entity would make US bases in the region targets for the Resistance.

The Group expressed that any support would be met with retaliation and zero red lines would remain uncrossed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Monday to "change the Middle East" in "Israel's" war on Gaza, as the occupation launches continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

As of 4:00 pm on Monday, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in over 560 Palestinian martyrs, as reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry.

This number is preliminary as many Palestinians remain unaccounted for under the rubble of collapsed residential buildings due to Israeli brutal airstrikes. Additionally, the Ministry stated that 2,900 individuals have been injured.

Netanyahu claimed that Hamas would experience "difficult and terrible" things, adding, "We are going to change the Middle East."

"This is only the beginning... we are all with you and we will defeat them with force, enormous force."

US President Biden reiterates US support for 'Israel'

US President Joe Biden previously affirmed that the United States supports "Israel" and is committed to providing the necessary aid to ensure its continued aggression against the Palestinian Resistance.

"The United States stands with "Israel." We will not ever fail to have their back, we will make sure that they have the help their citizens need, and they can continue to defend themselves," Biden said during a press conference.

Biden further stated that he instructed his national security team to establish communication and cooperation channels between the US and Israeli counterparts, "military to military, intelligence to intelligence to diplomat to diplomat to make sure "Israel" has what it needs."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Biden during a telephone conversation conveyed unwavering support for "Israel" and, on his part, Netanyahu expressed his gratitude to Biden for the support and emphasized the necessity for a sustained effort aimed at achieving a definitive victory for "Israel".

On the other hand, Syria, Iran, and Yemen have expressed their solidarity with the Palestinian people and affirmed their support for the resistance operation.
