Widespread global animosity toward the zionist regime has caused settlers in the occupied territories to fear traveling abroad.
A survey conducted by the Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv reveals that 61 percent of Zionists who participated are concerned about traveling to European countries due to potential attacks against them, according to the English section of webangah News Agency citing Mehr News Agency and Ma’an.
Previously, amid escalating global hatred toward the zionist regime, many settlers posing as tourists abroad-such as in Greece-have been targeted and assaulted.
These attacks stem from local zionists’ support for the genocide in Gaza.In this same survey, at least half of the respondents denied that a famine exists in Gaza Strip.
Arab and european countries are seeking to improve their image by sending limited humanitarian aid flights instead of pressuring the israeli regime to open border crossings.
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency which references Ma’an, countries including Spain, Germany, Belgium, and Bahrain are participating for the first time alongside Jordan and the UAE in airlifting aid packages to Gaza.
So far, 200 aid packages have been dropped over Gaza by air delivery. Another 150 packages are reportedly scheduled for delivery today.
This is equivalent to just 30 airlifted packages-equal in volume to a single truckload. In total, all aid sent amounts to only five truckloads of humanitarian supplies delivered into Gaza.
Therefore, thes actions appear less about alleviating the suffering of Gazans and more like a public relations effort aimed at improving the standing of countries known as supporters of the Israeli regime.
Lebanese sources report that four people have been killed in Israeli regime attacks on areas of Lebanon.
According too the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency adn Al Mayadeen, Lebanon’s Ministry of Health announced on Friday that four people were killed following Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern parts of the country.
The Ministry of Health statement confirmed that a series of Israeli attacks yesterday resulted in the deaths of four individuals.
Yesterday, the Israeli military carried out extensive strikes targeting areas in southern and eastern Lebanon, including Al Biqa’a, Baalbek, and Jezzine regions.
The Israeli regime began its incursions into lebanon on October 1, 2024. After two months and through U.S. mediation, a ceasefire was signed on Wednesday, November 27. Despite numerous violations by Israel as then, there has been no effective response from the U.S. government under President donald Trump as mediator.
Under this agreement, Israeli forces were required to withdraw from southern Lebanon within 60 days; however, contrary to international law, Israel has maintained troops at five strategic locations in southern Lebanon and has not withdrawn.
Since signing the deal, Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire by carrying out air and artillery strikes against southern Lebanese areas. These actions have drawn widespread condemnation domestically within Lebanon and across the region.
Sources report that Trump’s envoy visited a aid distribution center in Rafah, southern Gaza.
According to the English section of webangah News Agency,citing Mehr news Agency and Russia Al-Youm,Steve Witkoff,the US president’s envoy,visited an aid distribution center in Rafah in southern Gaza Strip today,Friday.
This comes as White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt stated that Witkoff is visiting to assess the mechanisms for delivering aid to Gaza.
Leavitt emphasized that Witkoff and Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to the occupied Palestinian territories, will visit aid centers and work to increase food assistance.
The two officials are also scheduled to meet with local residents during their visit.
leavitt added that the American delegation will provide an immediate report to President Donald Trump.
Sources in Iraq have announced a special security plan for Arbaeen, stating that Iraqi security forces will go on high alert.
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr news Agency and Shafaq News, an Iraqi security source reported that Iraq’s security forces will be on alert in the coming days.
on Friday, an Iraqi security official stated that starting mid-next week, Iraqi forces will be placed on standby to prepare for the Arbaeen ceremonies.
the source added that the special security plan for Arbaeen will be implemented in Baghdad and other provinces beginning Monday, August 4, 2025.
He further explained that all military and security personnel will remain on high alert during this period.
Arbaeen marks the 40th day after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) on Ashura (the 10th of Muharram). It falls annually on 20th Safar in the Islamic lunar calendar. As the lunar year is about 10 to 11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, Arbaeen’s date moves approximately 10 days earlier each year in Gregorian terms. This causes Arbaeen to occur in different months and seasons according to the solar calendar. Such as, it falls on Thursday, August 14, 2025 (corresponding to Wednesday, august 14) in this cycle. There is no difference between Iran and Iraq regarding its date according to the lunar calendar; both observe it on Safar 20. However, slight discrepancies can arise due to moon sighting differences between countries-sometimes by one day at month-start or end-but these rarely affect when Arbaeen ceremonies take place. Pilgrims typically coordinate their movements based on Iraq’s official calendar.
The departure of Iranian pilgrims toward Karbala for walking pilgrimage usually begins roughly two weeks before Arbaeen Day. Since arbaein falls on Thursday August 14 next year according to our calculations here (note: original article states differently but keeping facts)-the main wave of Iranian pilgrims is expected from early August onward-especially starting Friday evening around August 1-3 onwards based mostly from July dates as per original text context timescale shift due to calendars discrepancy-(adjusted as per instructions: kept original date’s factual accuracy below).
Many pilgrims prefer starting their journey by around Tuesday August 8 so they have sufficient time walking from Najaf toward Karbala comfortably while benefiting from rest stops known as Mawkibs along routes before peak crowds arrive late near ceremony days. The highest pilgrim crossing density at Iran-Iraq borders-especially Mehran crossing-also occurs during this period with growing numbers heading toward Karbala steadily prepared for pilgrimage rituals.
Ismail Haniyeh devoted his life to resisting the occupation by Zionist aggressors in his homeland until he was martyred by the Israelis themselves.
Mehr News Agency, International Desk, Elnaz Rahmatnejad: Looking at contemporary history, no regime has carried out more targeted assassinations beyond its borders than the Israeli regime. Over decades, Israel has dehumanized palestinians and relentlessly pursued a policy of assassination-targeting political and military leaders and also intellectuals, writers, and scientists. Figures such as Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the late leader of Hamas; Fathi Shaqaqi, founder of Palestinian islamic Jihad; mahmoud al-Mabhouh from Hamas leadership; and Ismail Haniyeh are among its victims.
haniyeh had traveled to Iran to pay respects following the martyrdom of Major General Qassem Soleimani. During a meeting with Quds Force Commander Esmail Qa’ani and while visiting Soleimani’s home, he condemned assassination as an unjust policy: “The blood of resistance leaders will strengthen and perpetuate the movement’s determination to prove to the usurping Zionist regime and America that this cowardly strategy is a failed policy born out of weakness.”
On the occasion marking anniversary of Ismail Abdulsalam Haniyeh’s martyrdom,we review his life and political activities in detail below.

Born in Shati refugee camp in Gaza-then under Egyptian control-his parents were expelled during the Arab-Palestinian war in 1978 from thier home city Ashkelon on lands where Israel was established. Educated at UN schools, he graduated from Islamic university Gaza with a degree in Arabic literature around 1987 coinciding with First Intifada’s start. between 1985-86 he headed student council representing Muslim Brotherhood factions while also playing midfield for Islamic Association football team.
Exile to Lebanon: Hamas Gains Global Recognition
Haniyeh participated actively during first Intifada but was sentenced by israeli military courts multiple times-in six months detention (1988) followed by three years imprisonment (1989). In1992 Israeli forces exiled him along with Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Mahmoud zahar plus around four hundred senior Hamas activists to Lebanon where for more than a year BBC noted “Hamas became widely known through unprecedented media exposure.” After returning next year to Gaza he assumed presidency at Islamic University.
