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.

Poland Plans to Build a Belarus Border Wall

The Polish House of Representatives approves the construction of a separation wall on the eastern border with Belarus, as part of Warsaw's efforts to confront the large wave of immigration since the summer of this year.

    Poland confronted immigrants by sending thousands of soldiers

On Friday, Polish lawmakers approved the construction of a wall on the eastern border with Belarus, in order to stop the wave of immigrants coming into the country. 

Since last August, Poland has been witnessing thousands of migrants and refugees attempting to cross its borders, most of whom come from the Middle East and Africa.

Poland confronted these waves of migrants by sending thousands of soldiers in addition to imposing a state of emergency on its borders. Authorities have worked to establish a barbed wire fence, an action that has exposed the Warsaw government to sharp criticism for its toughness in dealing with the crisis.

At the time, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) warned of the increasingly dangerous situation, since the state of emergency prohibited media and humanitarian workers from approaching the border. This action has sparked outrage, prompting the EU to demand "transparency."

Official level statements

Polish President Andrzej Duda vowed to sign the emergency legislation related to the wall within the coming days.

The wall is expected to cost 353 million euros ($407 million) and will extend over a length of more than 100 kilometers.

In the same context, nationalist Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki insisted on Thursday that Poland is "under attack" from Belarus, considering that the wall was necessary to "protect" Poland and that Warsaw had "not asked anyone for help."

The European Union had accused Belarus of being behind the immigration campaign, in response to the sanctions that were imposed on the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko.

EU's stance

Poland was one of 12 EU member states that urged the EU to fund border "barriers" to keep migrants out, but EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen said no last week.

Von der Leyen, the EU's executive secretary, said she assured leaders at a summit in Brussels that the EU has a long-standing position "that there will be no funding of barbed wire and walls."
