Iran is preparing to host high-level security talks with Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, as the regional conflict threatens to draw more countries into the fighting.

Last week we filmed I$raeli soldiers, Merkava tanks and D9 bulldozers in Zawtar al-Sharqieh, southern Lebanon. This is what they are doing there. Destroying people’s homes. But this is a mere snapshot of what’s happening across the so-called “yellow zone”. Demolitions and detonations of homes and infrastructure. Some 60 villages flattened. This is what a genocide looks like.

Syrian Alawite Man Assassinated in Beirut After Monthslong Online Incitement Campaign Over His Past Military Service The young Syrian man Ali Alawi Aaqel, 36, from the Alawite community, was assassinated in the Hadath area of #Beirut while inside his car, and his body arrived at Baabda Government Hospital. The details of his assassination remain unknown at this time. Ali had been active on social media before he stopped posting around two years ago. The young man was killed following a month-long incitement campaign led by a number of pro-Jolani social media influencers and media figures. The campaign was triggered by the fact that the young man had served mandatory military service in the Syrian army before the fall of the former regime, and was known for his social media activity even during his service. Jolanists continue to circulate photos of the young man in military uniform to justify his assassination, despite there being no evidence that he committed any war crime, he was simply fulfilling mandatory military service as required by Syrian law, which applied to more than a million young men during the Syrian war, from all sects. Unlike those who incited his killing, his own rhetoric during the Syrian war consistently rejected sectarian strife, called for reconciliation between sects, condemned anyone who insulted another sect, and affirmed that their fight was against the “black-banners” group (ISIS), as he used to describe them. Regardless of the young man's political stance, jolanists forget that members of the former Syrian army fought in battles against the terrorist organizations ISIS and al-Qaeda, battles in which members of the international coalition, including American, European, and even Russian soldiers, also participated. It has become shameless to justify killing soldiers who were serving mandatory duty simply for having done so, without any proof they committed war crimes against civilians. By this logic, jolanists would be prepared to kill coalition soldiers for having fought against ISIS and al-Qaeda, after Qatar and Gulf states bribed enough money to legitimize the takeover of the Syrian state by al-Qaeda and ISIS remnants, without any elections or consultation of the Syrian people, and to help them build an Islamic dictatorship more brutal than the one before it. Ali Alawi Aaqel (Ali Shaheen) was originally from the Ghab Plain and resided in Latakia city. He was the son of folk artist who died during Ali's childhood. Ali Aaqel had completed his military service before the fall of the regime and returned to civilian life. After the incitement campaign targeted him, he wrote that he had been summoned and called in for questioning several times by the STG regime's military intelligence, with no evidence or case against him (even his social media rhetoric consistently rejected sectarian strife and called for the protection of civilians, even during military operations in their areas). The young man was forced to travel to Lebanon following the incitement campaign. A source close to Ali Aaqel told us he had been receiving death threats and was heading to Lebanon to protect himself, he traveled there during the current month of October, only to be assassinated in Beirut. It’s worth noting that assassinations and kidnappings targeting Syrian Alawites in Lebanese territory have been on the rise, with many of them reportedly carried out by staff of the Syrian embassy in Beirut, who are al-Qaeda remnants appointed by alJolani.
