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 director of Gaza's Government Media Office says that the ship's cargo does not exceed that of one or two trucks and would require days to arrive in the Strip.

  • Sea aid delivery insufficient to starved population's needs: Gaza gov.

The Government Media Office in Gaza has stated that the aid planned to be delivered from Cyprus via the maritime route will only cover a small fraction of the population's basic needs, as Palestinians in the Strip continue to suffer from "Israel's" inhumane starvation policy imposed through siege and blockade.

"According to what was announced, the ship's cargo does not exceed that of one or two trucks, and it will take days to arrive," said the government's Media Office Director Salama Marouf.

He said some logistical questions about the operation were unanswered and raised concerns about Israeli inspections.

He expressed that there were unresolved logistical issues regarding the operation and voiced concerns about Israeli plans to "inspect" the aid, as the occupation entity had repeatedly used this measure as a pretext to delay aid delivery or block them entirely.

"It is still unknown where it will dock and how it will reach the shores of Gaza," Marouf said. "Moreover, it will be subject to inspection by the occupying army."

A ship carrying almost 200 tons of food for Gaza departed from a port in Cyprus on Tuesday as a trial to test the sea corridor operation.

The charity ship by Open Arms is expected to complete its 400km trip to Gaza's coast within a few days, where US charity World Central Kitchen said its Operation Safeena mission to establish a makeshift jetty is underway.

'Unbearable'

United Nations agencies pointed out earlier that maritime delivery is far less efficient than land deliveries, calling on relevant powers to prioritize opening land crossings over putting the main focus on supplies via ships.

Marouf voiced the same sentiment and called for international pressure on the Israeli occupation to allow aid trucks to pass into starved Gaza.

Last week, a UN expert warned that the Israeli occupation was destroying Gaza's food system as part of a larger "starvation campaign".

In a speech to the UN Human Rights Council, Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, asserted that the UN was "doing nothing" as "unbearable" images surfaced from Gaza.

The Health Ministry in Gaza revealed in its latest report that 27 Palestinians died so far due to malnutrition and dehydration, which was caused by "Israel's" starvation policy.
