— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: The ARAMCO refinery at Jizan, Saudi Arabia, is still burning more than 48 hours after it was struck by Yemeni missiles
The fires are so extensive that the entire facility may be out of operation for several years. The smoke trail can be seen from space.

🇸🇾 — According to a source close to Al Arabiya Net:
— The official announcement regarding the dissolution of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Autonomous Administration is imminent.
— It is expected that Kurdish officials will announce the dissolution of the SDF and the Autonomous Administration during a press conference, which will be covered by both government and Kurdish media outlets.
— The conference is likely to be held in early August, although the official date is still being finalized.
— The completion of administrative appointments in Hasakah and its surrounding areas is one of the most important preparations before the announcement.
— The issue of the return of displaced people from Tel Abyad and Ras al-Ayn may delay the official announcement.
— The SDF and the Autonomous Administration have stipulated that all displaced people must return to their areas before the announcement of the dissolution.
— President Ahmed al-Shar’a confirmed that the implementation of the agreement with the Kurds is proceeding slowly, but he expressed optimism about its completion.

Who Could Have Seen This Coming?!
Oh, the SDF is completely collapsing and the Kurds get none of their political objectives? Who could have possibly forseen this?!
Would the western leftists who keep calling me an Assadist like to actually admit we were right from the start about the Kurds role in the region? No, they still wanna cling to the “genocidal Assad” story?
Guess we’ll just have to see how the Kurds deal with the Jolani regime, principally backed by Türkiye, now won’t we. I’m sure they’ll treat them just as kindly as they have Alawites and Druze.
Maybe the Kurds could fight Israel for once? Oh wait no, they’re just smol beans who’s nationalist project just so happens to only aid the US.
It’s a sad day comrades… Kurdish Israel seems to have received another setback.
—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: Yemen’s Armed Forces says multiple drones were launched at Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, in response to Saudi surveillance drone incursions into Yemeni airspace
There are no reports of impacts, so it is likely that all drones were intercepted.

It’s actually over for Saudi Arabia if this is the equation set by the Yemenis.
Oil facilities in response to an airspace incursion by surveillance UAVs is wild.

Adding the telegram channel’s admin message as it does show how the situation is changing fast regarding the Yemeni defense.
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central Headquarters announces that from now on, any U.S. military action taken to impose and enforce the naval blockade against Iran will be considered an escalation of the war and face an appropriate response

BREAKING | Israeli occupation forces stationed at the Al-Jazeera barracks open fire on residential neighborhoods in the Syrian village of Maariya in the western countryside of Deraa, according to Sham TV.
❗️Box holds what remains of unborn Palestinian child who died after Israeli occupation forces block ambulance
“This box has a Palestinian unborn baby inside. His mother lost her unborn child after the ambulance was held by occupation forces,” says Ramy Abdu, head of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.
The Palestinian mother lost her unborn child earlier today after Israeli occupation forces blocked an ambulance for over thirty minutes at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli soldiers ordered the engine shut off—disabling the life-saving medical equipment—and subjected the bleeding mother to a search. While doctors ultimately saved the mother’s life, they were unable to save her child.

❗️UK Home Office deliberately blocking Gaza family reunions and evacuations
Expand
The UK Home Office is blocking the evacuation and family reunion of dozens of women and children trapped in Gaza, directly conflicting with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, which has stated it is ready and willing to help evacuate them.
Although families who secure a right to leave can be evacuated through Jordan, the Home Office is withholding required onward travel assurances and actively deploying multiple senior barristers to mount legal challenges against their arrival in the UK.
According to The Guardian, the Home Office suspended refugee family reunion applications last September, and under ongoing policy reforms, family reunion will no longer be automatic and will require meeting stricter criteria. Legal representatives for the stranded families state that the Home Office is applying a harsher standard to Palestinians than to other refugees, in some instances arguing that mothers and small children pose a security risk because they live in a territory where ‘terrorists’ operate.
Furthermore, the department dismissed descriptions of insanitary conditions, infested tents, and frequent Israeli bombings by telling lawyers that these dangerous conditions alone do not amount to compelling circumstances under current guidance.
❗️Caught on camera: Netanyahu orders Lindsey Graham to hold off on lobbying Trump over bombing Lebanon
Expand
Unreleased documentary footage reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveals a rare glimpse into the yearslong campaign by the late US Senator Lindsey Graham to persuade Donald Trump to launch military action against Iran.
The archives also highlight the extent of Graham’s close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Mossad, and Trump, and his efforts to pull the United States into wider regional war.
The footage also captures Graham planning a March trip to Florida to urge Trump into joining an Israeli bombing campaign against Lebanon. The plan was ultimately abandoned after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intervened to warn that expanding the war would be too much, too soon.
The archive material reveals the senator’s extraordinary access to Israeli leadership, the Mossad, and the White House. This included a direct telephone call where the Israeli prime minister cautioned against drawing the United States into a broader regional war.

As with the Russian cargo ship “Navis-1,” the strike targeted the bridge — indicating that the Vanilla ISIS regime from Kiev intended to maximize human casualties.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 — Early this morning, the Israeli army launched a series of explosions and intense shelling targeting the towns of Hadaitha, Al-Tiri, Marqaba, Talouseh, and Eitaroun.
This resulted in widespread fires.
Artillery shelling also targeted the Ali al-Taher hill and the outskirts of Shebaa, coinciding with the deployment of sound bombs in Al-Mansouri and the burning of homes in Beit Yahoun.
—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 EXCLUSIVE: Images show a fire burning at fuel depots in Jazan, Saudi Arabia
Middle East Spectator has located the fire to Aramco fuel tanks at King Fahd Road, coordinates 16.8740846, 42.5615230 in the city of Jazan.
The footage was recorded right in front of the Autozone Jizan, coordinates 16.8841879, 42.5803417 on the map.
This is not the refinery that was targeted 48 hours ago. Therefore, this is likely a separate location that was targeted, and Saudi Arabia imposed censorship on this incident.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: Satellite imagery released today confirms the impact at Aramco storage tanks in Jizan
It happened 2 days ago, when Yemeni drones also targeted the actual Aramco refinery north of Jizan, located much further away.
This impact had been heavily censored until now.
