The suspiciously-timed US–Israeli killing spree of Resistance officials across West Asia has deepened the unity of regional resistance fronts, now poised to coordinate a massive retaliation and open a multi-front war.
Between the afternoon of 30 July and early the following morning, West Asia witnessed a series of significant events unfold from the Levant to the Persian Gulf.
The synched US–Israeli military and intelligence operations began around 4pm that Tuesday with strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs that took down an entire residential building.
Later that evening, following sunset prayers, the Jurf al-Sakhar district in Iraq was hit, followed by a dawn strike on Tehran. These coordinated attacks are believed to be part of a US–Israeli assassination campaign tied to the ongoing war on Gaza, which has been simmering for nearly 10 months.
Among the most high-profile targets were Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh and top Hezbollah war commander Fuad Shukr. These assassinations dominated the headlines, overshadowing the less-publicized US military attack on members of Kataib Hezbollah (KH) in Iraq, which also claimed the life of a senior Yemeni missile specialist, Hussein Abdullah Mastour al-Shabal.
‘Downplay Iraq’
The difference in media coverage may be due to the differing ranks of those targeted and the importance of the strike locations, even though the concept of a unified resistance front remains central to this conflict, initiated 10 months ago with Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
The team of military specialists in northern Iraq was targeted under different circumstances. A KH leader informs The Cradle that “this team is specialized in weapons development, not implementation.”
His information contradicts the statement from a US defense official, who claimed the strike was a defensive measure against resistance fighters in Iraq preparing to launch drone attacks against US and allied forces in the region. But as the KH source reveals, there was no imminent threat to US forces by the group’s technical team:...
