The day after Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air raid that targeted Hezbollah headquarters in a suburb of Beirut, obituaries for Hezbollah’s secretary general appeared on behalf of high-ranking members of different Muslimic communities outside of Lebanon.
Saleh Ashour is a former member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly and represents the Justice and Peace Alliance, a Shia party, as its leader (i.e. Emir of Jamaat-e-Islami). He studied economics and served in the Kuwaiti Air Force before being elected to the National Assembly in 1999. His political agenda is rather progressive and anti-racist; and he supports women’s rights reforms while being simultaneously engaged in philanthropic projects.
In his obituary, dedicated to Hassan Nasrallah, he refers to the fact of Nasrallah’s steadfastness in support of the people of Gaza and the Lebanese people while praising Nasrallah's attitude to refrain from appeasing Israel in the Palestinian question "unlike most Arab leaders and presidents." His influence on the social media can be seen as remarkable, based on 167,000 followers on X.
Even more interesting and unambiguous is what Siraj ul-Haq, a prominent Pakistani politician, writes on his X-account:
„ … now the need of the hour is for the Muslim world to unite and fight and liberate Jerusalem from the clutches of the Jews “.
As to Siraj ul-Haq, he is the Emir of Shia Muslims’ Jamaat-e-Islami in Pakistan and held the office of a Senior Minister in the Pakistani government as well as a Provincial Minister of Finance between 2002 and 2015. From 2015 until 2021 he was a member of the Senate of Pakistan. He gained immense popularity in his support for Imran Khan who became Prime Minister of Pakistan between 2018 and 2022. The number of his followers on X reaches an amazing 1,300,000.
So, when it comes to their influence on the social media, both political and religious leaders quoted here might be able to guide the next generation of jihadists and anti-Zionists on their way to 'liberate' Palestine .....
First news of Hassan Nasrallah's death in a statement on Hezbollah near Al-Manar TV.
..........................
A rare visitor from the Himalaya state of Bhutan, the
only country where 'the right to personal happiness'
is included in its constitution !
Today, my blogspot provides the information delivered by some Hezbollah near X-account describing Hezbollah operations that were taking place during the last 24 hours.
There are lots of videos showing Israeli sites burning like hell. It's not quite clear whether these videos are really genuine or rather mere Hezbollah propaganda. However, some local sites appear more often in Arabic language posts and, by the way, there must be a result worthy of remark when hundreds of missiles are regularly raining on Israel. Iron Dome counter measures might be efficient but explosive 'waste' will, anyway, continue falling from the sky. In addition, internal migration from heavily shelled areas of Israel has already been officially mentioned as a problem.
Only hours after Israel used the wireless pager network to blow up pagers together with their carriers, another wave of bombings targeted other wireless communications devices on Wednesday afternoon, September 18.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health released the information that, this time, 20 persons died and more than 450 were injured.
[المنار Hezbollah TV, Lebanon, on September 19]
Pagers used for communications instead of cell phones have been stuffed with explosives in order to detonate them together with their carriers. This is considered to be possible when delivery chains of electronic pager elements are spoilt by some foreign intelligence agency. According to one expert, the pager battery might have been replaced by one that had been prepared with an explosive. Others, like the Chinese commentator who wrote the following article, are considering a more complex manipulation of the pager's motherboard. Some experts could even imagine a special design of the motherboard that should be serving the pre-planned destruction and would need support from specialists of the motherboard's original manufacturer. [凤凰, China on September 19]
As there are different types of pagers that exploded in different places, killing or injuring different kinds of carriers, some of them obviously civilians, this might be seen as an indiscriminate attack trying to hit at least one or another member of Hezbollah.
A simultaneous explosion of 3,000 pagers could possibly be explained by an electronic signal delivered to different locations at the same time. This resulted in overheating of the devices and led to the ignition of a small explosive charge of about 20 g. The Taiwanese distributor Gold-Apollo stated that, even though devices carried their logo, the pagers were produced by a Hungarian company [Source: Deutsche Welle].
I remember having learnt much earlier from the media of a similar handy explosion that killed some "Arab terrorist" on behalf of Israel's security agency Mossad. The incident took place already years ago.
According to official Iranian sources, Iran's ambassador to Lebanon has been injured as well when his pager exploded.
As a result of today's organized attack, different international airlines (Air France, Lufthansa, Swiss Air) cancelled their flights to Ben Gurion / Tel Aviv for the next 48 hours.
The Official Facts:
On 17 September 2024, around 15:30 local time, thousands of handheld pagers used by Hezbollah, a Lebanese political party and militant group, simultaneously exploded across Lebanon and Syria. At least 12 were killed and over 2,750 wounded, including Hezbollah members and civilians.

Additional Information about Visitor Region Wichita (Kansas/USA):
The town of Wichita has a history of aircraft building. It is going to host a "Drone Light Festival" on September 20-22, turning the sky over Wichita into the canvas of a tremendous light show.
DJI, a Chinese tech company, has produced about 90% of the drones used by roughly 250 Kansas law enforcement agencies. DJI drones are said to be among the cheapest on the market, costing between $12,000 and $35,000 each, depending on the type.They are of the highest quality available.
Some Kansas lawmakers are now looking to prevent land from being purchased by corporations from foreign countries. A bill was brought up to prohibit companies domiciled or controlled by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela from purchasing or leasing land within 150 miles of any U.S. military installation.
Official voice from Kansas: “It is clear that we are facing a new type of threat in the People’s Republic of China, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP has the goal of global dominance and usurping the United States as the world’s premier military and economic power.” [Info from different public US sources published in 2024]

"We have documents confirming the presence of cells and agents of the
[Israeli spy agency] Mossad in Erbil, and we had to bomb [them in] Erbil".
تزايد نشاط شبكات الموساد الإسرائيلي في العراق منذ التسعينيات إنطلاقًا من شماله، مثلاً باعتراف صحيفة «تايمز إسرائيل في عددها الصادر في 12 نوفمبر تشرين الثاني العام 2012» خططت شبكات الموساد في العراق مرتين لاغتيال الرئيس العراقي الراحل صدام حسين، الأولى في العام 1992، والثانية في العام 1999، وهو نفس العام الذي اغتيل فيه المرجع العراقي آية الله محمد الصدر
The activity of Israeli Mossad networks in Iraq has increased since the nineties from its north. For example, as the Times of Israel admitted in its November 12, 2012 edition, Mossad networks in Iraq planned twice to assassinate the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the first time in 1992, and the second time in 1999, the same year that Iraqi cleric Ayatollah Muhammad al-Sadr was assassinated.
وتدور الشبهات كذلك حول ضلوع شبكات الموساد في العراق بتصفية أكثر من 5500 عالم ومفكر وباحث عراقي منذ العام 2003 بحسب مجلة المشاهد السياسي البريطانية والقناة الخامسة الفرنسية. كما وجهت إيران ضربات عسكرية على مواقع في مدينة أربيل في مطلع العام الحالي 2024، ووصفت هذه المواقع بـمراكز تجسس الموساد
Mossad networks in Iraq have been suspected of killing more than 5,500 Iraqi scientists, intellectuals and researchers since 2003, according to the British magazine Political Viewer and French Channel Five. Iran also launched military strikes on sites in the city of Erbil in early 2024, describing these sites as "Mossad espionage centers."
[صوت العراق, an Iraqi news center on August 11, 2024]
Historical Background:
Muhammad Sadiq al-Sadr (1943-1999) was born to a Lebanese family.
Following the Gulf War, Shiites in Southern Iraq went into open rebellion. A number of provinces overthrew the Baathist entities and rebelled against Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party. The leadership of the Shiite rebellion as well as the Shiite doctrine in Iraq was split between Ayatollah Al-Sistani and Ayatollah Al-Sadr.
Al-Sadr, based in his Baghdad ghetto where he was unreachable by Saddam's forces, appealed to the younger, more radical Shiites from the impoverished areas of Southern Iraq. The Shiites travelled to Baghdad from these poor areas to join Al-Sadr and his Shiite leadership, and al-Sadr began to establish his secret network of devoted followers. At the same time he became an increasingly prominent figure in the Iraqi political scene.
Shias in Iraq, as well as most international observers, suspect the Iraqi Baathist government of being involved in, if not directly responsible for, the 1999 assassination of Al-Sadr and his sons. Widespread anger at the government's alleged involvement in Sadr's death helped spark the 1999 Shia uprising in Iraq.
Following the fall of Baghdad, the majority-Shia suburb of Revolution City (Saddam City) was unofficially but popularly renamed to Sadr City in his honour. Sadr City was the first part of Baghdad to overthrow the Baath Party in 2003.

Rare interview with Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi:
مقابلة نادرة جدا للسيد عبدالملك الحوثي مع قناة المنار وهو يقول ان الكيان الصـhـيوني هو عدو للإسلام والمسلمين، وداعيًا الأمة إلى استشعار المسؤولية لمواجهته.
وقال أيضاً أن زعماء العرب العملاء يحاولون إقناع شعوبهم بأن العـ.ـدو الإسـ.ـرائيليّي صديق ويمكن التعايش معه
وقال أن الكيان قائم على الفساد الاجرام ولا يمكن التعايش معه على الإطلاق ولن نقبل به أن يكون بيننا
A very rare interview with Mr. Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi on Al-Manar TV [i.e. Lebanese Hezbollah TV], in which he says that the Zionist entity [i.e. the State of Israel] is an enemy of Islam and Muslims, and calls on the [Arab] nation to feel responsible to confront it.
He also said that the Arab client leaders [i.e. essentially the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates] are trying to convince their people that the Israeli enemy is a friend and can be coexisted with.
He said that the entity is based on corruption and crime and cannot be coexisted with at all and we will not accept it among us.
Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi [عبد الملك بدر الدين الحوثي], also known as Abu Jibril, is a Yemeni politician and religious leader who serves as the leader of the Houthi movement, a revolutionary movement principally made up of Zaidi Muslims, a Muslimic minority in Yemen. His five brothers are or were also leaders of the group.
Born in 1979, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi is the leading figure in the Yemeni Civil War which started with the Houthi takeover in Yemen in the Saada Governorate in northern Yemen in January 2015.
US secretary of state Antony J. Blinken revoked the designation of Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
Political Analysis published by
Israel's liberal paper 'Haaretz'
Some days ago, on August 15, an official Iranian X-account announced that Iran is going to launch their brandnew SAMAN rocket system, intended to transport space payloads between Earth orbits.
Saman is capable of transporting light satellites from an orbit of 300 km to an orbit of 5,000 km. Iran is said having successfully conducted its first launching test of that system on October 3, 2020.
The rocket system 'Saman' [سامان] seems to have been named after
an ancient Iranian nomadic people in the Central Asian region of
Khorasan and Bukhara and who had founded the Samanid dynasty
[الدولة السامانية], such getting independent from the Abassid kingdom.
The Samanids are seen today as the founders of Persian identity,
speech and culture after 900 AC. During the rule of the Samanides,
the 'Holy Quran' was expanded to Central Asia.
An earlier Chinese evaluation from January 30 this year, already discussed the test launch of another system when Iran's carrier rocket PHOENIX successfully positioned three satellites in orbit, a system the Chinese named 'One Arrow and Three Stars' in their own pictorial language.
By the way, the Chinese source appeared to be unusually well informed on this matter, giving a comprising overview on Iran's satellite program, however, without mentioning neither name nor location of the launching site.
Iran's first successful launch of "One Arrow and Three Stars"
can it enhance military space capabilities?
Iran has made a major breakthrough in the development of space technology, and successfully launched "one arrow and three stars" for the first time.
According to a report by Xinhua News Agency on January 28, Iran successfully launched three satellites for the first time using the "Phoenix" carrier rocket on January 28.According to the report, on the same day, the "Phoenix" carrier rocket launched three satellites, "Maheda," "Payam," and "Khatif," into orbits about 1,110 kilometers above the earth's surface.
Some Western countries claim that Iran's satellite program could be used to develop ballistic missiles.A recent United States intelligence assessment suggests that the launch of the satellite "shortened" Iran's time to develop an ICBM.But Iran has repeatedly denied such speculation, saying that the satellite project falls under the category of scientific research.

في صفقة محتملة
إيران تبحث عن مساعدة الصين لزيادة دقة مراقبتها للأهداف العسكرية في الشرق الأوسط
ذكرت صحيفة "واشنطن بوست" نقلا عن مسؤولين أمنيين غربيين، أن إيران طلبت من الصين دعمها في مجال الأقمار الصناعية بهدف تعزيز قدراتها في المراقبة عن بعد وجمع المعلومات الاستخباراتية، بما في ذلك إمكانية الحصول على صور عالية الدقة لأهداف عسكرية في إسرائيل ومناطق أخرى في الشرق الأوسط.
In a possible deal:
Iran looking for China's help to increase the accuracy
of surveillance of military targets in the Middle East.
The Washington Post, citing Western security officials, reported that Iran asked China for its satellite support to enhance its remote surveillance and intelligence-gathering capabilities, including access to high-resolution imagery of military targets in Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East.
وقد شهدت الفترة الأخيرة بحسب مسؤولين غربيين وشرق أوسطيين، تبادل الوفود بين الحرس الثوري الإيراني والشركات الصينية المعنية، والتي تختص في تصنيع وتشغيل أقمار صناعية مزودة بكاميرات متطورة.
وقال المسؤولون، الذين طلبوا عدم الكشف عن هويتهم لمناقشة معلومات استخباراتية حساسة، إن "سعي إيران للتعاون مع الشركتين يتم مراقبته عن كثب بسبب المخاوف من أن أي اتفاق قد يعزز بشكل كبير قدرة إيران على التجسس على المنشآت العسكرية الأميركية والإسرائيلية، بالإضافة إلى المنشآت العسكرية للدول العربية المنافسة في الخليج الفارسي".
وتقدم الشركات الصينية المعنية أقمارا صناعية مزودة بأجهزة بصرية حساسة تفوق في دقتها أقمار إيران الحالية.
وتأتي هذه الزيارات في سياق العلاقات الوثيقة بين بكين وطهران، والتي تعززت بعد توقيع اتفاقية التعاون السياسي والاقتصادي الممتدة لـ 25 عاما بين وزيري خارجية البلدين قبل ثلاث سنوات.
وسعت إيران سابقا للحصول على مساعدة من روسيا لتطوير شبكة من أقمار المراقبة التي تسيطر عليها طهران، وقد توسعت هذه المساعدة مع اعتماد روسيا على إيران كمورد للطائرات المسيرة الهجومية المستخدمة في حربها ضد أوكرانيا.
According to Western and Middle Eastern officials, delegations exchanged delegations between the IRGC and relevant Chinese companies, which specialize in manufacturing and operating satellites equipped with advanced cameras.
The officials, who asked not to be identified to discuss sensitive intelligence, said Iran's quest to cooperate with the two companies is being closely monitored because of concerns that any agreement could significantly enhance the Iran's ability to spy on U.S. and Israeli military facilities, as well as military facilities of rival Arabic countries in the Persian Gulf.
The Chinese companies involved offer satellites with sensitive optical equipment that are more accurate than those of the current Iran.
The visits come in the context of the close relations between Beijing and Tehran, which were strengthened after the signing of the 25-year political and economic cooperation agreement between the foreign ministers of the two countries three years ago.
Iran has previously sought help from Russia to develop a network of Tehran-controlled surveillance satellites, and this assistance has expanded as the Russia relied on Iran as a supplier of attack drones used in its war against the Ukraine.
