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 New York Times quoted US officials on Sunday saying that their estimates of the number of Palestinian casualties in the Gaza Strip resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression are in line with the figures released by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

This comes a few days after US President Joe Biden expressed doubt about the number of casualties announced by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, saying:

"I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war," the US president claimed. "But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using."

In response, US media reports refuted Biden's suspicions and confirmed the accuracy of the numbers reported by the health authorities in Gaza.

Approximately 10,000 Palestinians were cited as martyrs during a month of the aggression, with the majority being children and women, while hundreds are still under the rubble.

Human rights organizations active in the Gaza Strip for years quickly rejected Biden's claims.

The Associated Press pointed out that the numbers from the Ministry of Health in Gaza in previous aggressions closely aligned with the figures reported by the Israeli regime and the United Nations.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza responded by publishing a list of 6,747 names of individuals who were martyred up to October 26th since the start of the Israeli aggression, including 2,664 children.

The list initially included the names of 2,665 children, but the US-based website Intercept found that the name of a 14-year-old boy was duplicated, reducing the total number to 6,746.

Additionally, the list, as reported by the ministry, contains no repetitions, while the US website found dozens of names on the ministry's list, all belonging to a single family.

It's worth noting that the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, reported yesterday that the Israeli occupation has recorded a record number of massacres in which children and women were killed, indicating that it has been carrying out a campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing for the past 30 days since the start of the war in Gaza on October 7th.
