For context, back in 2006, after Hamas won the Palestine elections, the US, EU, and Israel refused Hamas to form a government. They tried to organize another election but stopped when they realized Hamas was going to win again.

So, they started to arm Mohammed Dahlan and trained his men to carry out a coup against Hamas. This led to the 2008 Battle of Gaza where Hamas defeated the Israel, EU, and UK-backed Dahlan group in less than a week. Dahlan then fled Gaza and went into exile.

Many Fatah members blamed Dahlan for losing the war. Some Fatah members also accused him of being a US and Israeli puppet rather than working for Palestinians. Overall, the Dahlan guy is a very controversial figure. You can read more about him here:

Back to Abu Shabab, Hamas has been on his case for a while. In November 2024, Hamas ambushed him in Khan Younis, but he escaped. However, two of his men, including his brother, Fathi Abu Shabab, were killed.

Hamas is on the lookout for him and have told him to surrender. Hamas has also accused him of treason, forming an illegal armed group and leading a rebellion.

Popular Forces 21/21

Meanwhile, many Israeli and European Union politicians have voiced their opposition to Nethanyahu arming the Islamic State-allied Popular Forces. Israeli opposition leader and former defence minister, Avigdor Liberman, says Nethanyau acted alone without even the permission of his cabinet.

For context, Most Israeli and EU politicians are against this move because Israel sponsored and armed the same Hamas that has become a problem for it today.

Israel’s intent back then was to weaken the Fatah-led PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) which was the main Palestinian resistance group at the time. Now, Israel perceives the PLO as weak and Hamas as strong, and is thus funding the Popular Forces (and other groups) to weaken Hamas.

But for now, Nethanyahu insists arming the groups is a good idea. In his words:

“On the advice of security officials, we activated clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas. What's wrong with that? It's only good. It only saves the lives of IDF soldiers."
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by shoodboi2: 11:38pm On Jul 06, 2025
Popular Forces: (Final note)

Talking of Nethanyahu and Hamas, funding a rival Palestinian group has always been Nethanyahu’s long-term goal. Israel itself funded Hamas and Nethanyahu has continued to ensure that it remains funded.

Nethanyahu has also ensured that Qatar continues to fund Hamas. For instance, when Qatar threatened to cut funding to Hamas in 2020. Nethanyahu begged Qatar to continue funding Hamas. (Hamas uses this Qatari money to pay government employees, pensions, utility, and just keep the lights on in Gaza.)

So, why is Nethanyahu funding his enemy?

His ultimate goal is to separate Palestinains in Gaza from those in the West Bank. In other words, he wants to keep the rivalry between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority going, and ensure there is no Palestinian state.

Nethanyahu confirmed this in a December 2012 interview with Israeli journalist, Dan Margalit, where he said it was in Israel’s interest to keep Hamas strong, so that it can be a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority. Nethanyahu added that with two strong Palestinian rivals, there will be less pressure on Israel to create a Palestinian state.

The attack lasted one hour.
Mostly used stand-off ASM weapons.
🤦‍♂️

I am even perplexed.
Is that it?
How the mighty have fallen.

If one had typed here in 2022 that the Houthis will blockade Israel, sink Israeli bound ships, and the US+NATO+Israel will be powerless to stop it.
I'd have looked at the person quizzingly.

But here we are.

Popular Forces 16/21

The problem:

Over the past month, Israel has been rebranding the Popular Forces and trying to pass it off as a “security group” protecting aid going into Gaza. This is false, and everyone should be wary of such information as their propaganda machinery will go into full gear within the next few weeks to promote these "anti-Hamas" terror groups filled with Islamic State fighters ...
This front page topic is what I am talking about. See them trying to sell the terror groups to us as freedom fighters. According to the BBC, Hamas has collapsed and Gaza has fallen into lawlessness. So, "six armed groups affiliated with powerful local clans" have sprung up to fill in the void.

To be clear, Hamas has not collapsed and is functioning perfectly well. Israel is even currently negotiating a ceasefire with them.

Issam Nahabin was later sentenced to death. But he escaped prison on the first day of the war and is now fighting on the side of the Israel-backed Popular Forces.

Note that Issam Nahabin is not alone when it comes to firing rockets into Israel. Many other members of the Popular Forces have also been accused of firing rockets into Israel. Like Nahabin, why they were firing the rockets into Israel remains unclear, and where they got the rockets from is unknown.
I always used to suspect some of those rocket launches. The iron dome faces no challenges against them and yet they get launched over and over again without any apparent military objectives. Why seize relief items from civilians?

You have helped connect so many puzzle pieces that have been struggling to place concerning this Gaza issue. This is beyond just Palestine. We have seen the same playbook in Afghanistan, Sudan, and Syria. West Africa might be facing a long-term attack.

For those of you who will skim through these posts and use your usual labels against him, I call on you to try reading them with an open mind. He has made some claims. Verify them and let's have a respectful discussion.

The IDF has been suffering casualties from Hamas. Killing civilians is the only place where they shine.

I opened the leader's Facebook page. It was refreshing to see that most people can see through the conspiracy even though he's trying to deny it grin

And come to think of it, this is the same Gaza that some people want you to believe was free from Israeli control before 2023.

🚨 BREAKING | Israeli Media:

Military official: We did not expect the Houthis to reach this advanced level of air defense capability.

🔻 "It was close… some aircraft were nearly taken down the moment they entered."


The Houthis spokesman said 10 jets were forced back without delivering their payloads but I thought it was a lie/exaggeration.

HIMARS is a rocket artillery system, not a ballistic missile, A ballistic missile is harder to intercept than a conventional missile.

🚨🇾🇪⚔️🇮🇱 Breaking | Brig. Gen. Yahya Sare’e:

Yemeni air defenses effectively responded to the Israeli aggression, forcing a large part of its formations to retreat.
The response came with a major salvo of locally-made surface-to-air missiles, causing significant confusion among enemy pilots and operations rooms.

The most important brownie point for the Israelis in the 12D war was sabotaging Iranian AD installations.

A combination of human agents (using drones and other munitions), hacking, and overloading isolated systems allowed them to significantly degrade air defense coverage in Eastern Iran to establish an air corridor to Tehran.


Look at this image. Virtually all of Israeli attacks were in Eastern Iran. Air superiority over all of Iran was a myth.
They tried to open a corridor, take out the hierarchy in Tehran, and sow discord and chaos.
That was the plan.
The longer the war went on, they mostly used standoff munitions fired from Iraq, Syria, and via Azerbaijan route over the Caspian Sea.

If Iran can get a robust AD network back up. Solve its massive infiltration problem.
It'll be a very different 2.0.
This is precisely why Israel will want a rematch sooner than later.

They should do their best to prevent sabotage elements.

Iran became complacent after last year's Israeli attack that was largely foiled.
It led to bad outcomes.

Today it is Israeli media, Tomorrow it channel 11 Next tomorrow its channel 12, Someone will just scribble nonsense and add Israeli media or channel 12 and you people without verification will post it here.

A huge vessel was sunk, With multiple confirm hits on Houthis controlled ports, but, but, but 10 jets were forced without dropping their payloads, how did the houthis know that ten jets didn't drop her payloads?? suddenly the houthis now possess more sophisticated air defense systems than it benefactor Iran, who is responsible for 80% of the weaponry being used by the same houthis, The same iran whose airspace was turned to a play ground by Israel's jets.

As if the Jews just started bombing the houthis yesterday, they have been dropping bombs on houthis controlled Yemen for months now

Propaganda hard sha..

Those guys almost shot down US F-35 the pilot had to make very dangerous evasive manoeuvres to save the aircraft and his life. Those guys are just too advanced. US and its allies in the West are tired of them it is Israel that is still forming gragra., gragra wey Iran don humble.

This makes perfect sense. Most of the launch videos released from Iran didn't look sensible for a country with a completely lost airspace control. You can't assemble 20+ vehicles within the same vicinity in the face such heavy threats when you have mobile launchers and tunnels designed for proper dispersal
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by mikael11(m): 9:49am On Jul 07, 2025
JUST IN: Seyed Hossein Mousavian, former Iranian Ambassador to Germany and ex-nuclear negotiator:

Russia didn’t provide Iran with Su-35 fighter jets or the S-400 defense system, despite Iran being under threat for decades from nuclear powers like the U.S. and Israel — and ultimately attacked by them.

Yet, Russia offered India — a U.S. ally — 117 Su-35Ms and joint Su-57 production with full tech transfer.

This isn’t a criticism of Moscow; it’s acting in its strategic interest. If Türkiye (a NATO member) or Saudi Arabia (a U.S. ally) request Su-35s, Su-57s, or S-400s, Russia would likely agree.

Maybe this reality helps Tehran better understand international relations and the true nature of national interests
