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 Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement issued a statement in response to the Israeli occupation’s attempts at falsifying the truth amid attempts to accuse the PIJ of bombing al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, on Tuesday evening.

The statement stressed that "hurling accusations at the PIJ will not absolve the enemy of its responsibility for the massacre.”

"The enemy is trying to fabricate lies, as usual, to evade responsibility for the brutal massacre,” the statement read.

The PIJ confirmed in the statement that the movement, like the rest of the Resistance factions in Gaza, "does not use places of worship or public facilities, especially hospitals, as military sites or positions to store weapons or launch rockets."

It stressed that "the Israeli enemy repeats these lies to justify its targeting of these centers, especially hospitals, which is a dangerous accusation by which it aims to evade responsibility for its crime and target other hospitals."

The movement pointed out that the hospital had already received explicit threats from the Israeli occupation to evacuate, stressing that "the conflicting narratives presented by the enemy expose its lies," and slamming its claims circulated across the media as "mere fabrications and slander."

Meanwhile, the PIJ pointed to the fact that a large number of field reporters and eyewitnesses were present at the hospital site, not to mention the videos that were filmed at the moment of the bombing.

The movement further confirmed that "the weight of the explosive head, the angle of the bomb’s fall, and the extent of the destruction it left behind are all documented and confirm that the targeting was done via aerial bombardment from a warplane."

The movement further compared the bombardment on the hospital to that that has been targeting Gaza right under the world's nose around the clock, targeting safe houses and residential towers in the Gaza Strip.

The PIJ emphasized that "the enemy's disavowal of responsibility is not a new matter," pointing out that such allegations are constantly repeated to disassociate from the assassination of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as well as the targeting of children in Jabalia camp during the Unity of Battlefields battle -- an attack that the Israeli occupation military later admitted to being responsible for, after claiming that it was caused by the Resistance's rockets.

Elsewhere, the movement called on the media not to fall for the Israeli occupation's fabrications and forgery of facts.

Earlier, the Health Ministry of Gaza reported that over 500 people have been martyred in an Israeli strike on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital. Following the massacre, a number of countries, international bodies, and organizations condemned the savage attack committed by the Israeli occupation against defenseless civilians.

Don Binder, Chaplain to the Anglican Archbishop in occupied al-Quds, revealed that the attack on the hospital was not “Israel’s” first. 

 

In a post on Facebook three days ago, the chaplain revealed that al-Ahli Hospital's Diagnostic Cancer Treatment Center in Gaza came under attack. 

“At about 7:30 pm local time today, Ahli Hospital's Diagnostic Cancer Treatment Center in Gaza was hit by Israeli rocket fire,” which severely damaged the two upper floors, including the Ultrasound and Mammography wards, the chaplain had warned.

The chaplain had called on whoever has any political influence to force the Israeli government to waive off the IOF “from bombing our hospital!” But nothing was done. The warning fell on deaf ears and thus came today’s massacre.
