Al-Arab: The Israeli strikes are draining Iran from southern Syria

The Arab newspapers published this morning on the Syrian issue dealt with several topics, the most prominent of which was the Israeli raids. In this context, Al-Arab newspaper said: “The Israeli bombing of Syria on Monday night killed 11 people, most of them fighters loyal to Iran, according to a new toll reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Tuesday. ".

The director of the observatory, Rami Abdel-Rahman, said, "The dead were three members of the Syrian regime forces and seven militants loyal to Iran, of non-Syrian nationalities, in addition to one civilian."

"Iran is trying hard to establish a foothold in southern Syria, but it is finding it difficult to achieve this goal in light of the escalation of Israeli air strikes," the newspaper added.

This bombardment was the second of its kind against Syria during August, as Damascus announced that its defenses had responded at the beginning of the month to air strikes that Israel said its planes had launched in southern Syria.

Israel rarely confirms that it has carried out raids in Syria, but it reiterates that it continues to oppose what it describes as Tehran's attempts to support Damascus, to consolidate its military presence in this country, and to send sophisticated weapons to the Lebanese Hezbollah.

In recent weeks, Lebanon has witnessed tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah pledged Sunday to respond to the killing of one of its members in Syria in July, and said in a televised speech, "The Israeli must understand: When you kill one of our soldiers, we will kill one of your soldiers."

"This is all recorded in the account, and its account will come," Nasrallah added, referring to the escalation in the borders between Israel and Lebanon.

A new political alternative to al-Taif Agreement.

Macron had begun his visit to Lebanon immediately after his arrival on the night of the day before yesterday (Monday), by heading to the house of Mrs. Fairouz for a meeting, which was described as special, and the French President said after him that he found Fairuz "beautiful and strong, and that she reminded him of many old things."

In Libya, Al-Bayan newspaper said: “The Libyan capital is witnessing a state of security tension in light of the conflict between the militias, and while the suburb of Janzour witnessed yesterday a terrorist bombing carried out by a gunman who was riding a motorbike near a security patrol without hitting it, eyewitnesses said that they noticed an unusual alertness and movement in the Sidi Bilal camp, where hundreds of Turkish mercenaries are stationed, likely a state of rebellion among them, and witnesses added that the state of alert followed the terrorist bombing that was near the camp.

He added that the deliberate provocations by Turkish mercenaries, which appeared through video recordings spread on social media, threatening the Libyans, especially the protesters against their presence, with death, increased the intensity of popular anger against them, especially among the poor, unemployed and deprived of the most basic services, while A mercenary gets two thousand dollars a month.

Meanwhile, the August 23 movement renewed its demand for the abolition of political bodies, provided that the Supreme Judicial Council would assume power and work to form a mini-crisis government to manage the basic needs of the citizen for a period of 6 months, supervising the constitution and electing a parliament and the president of the state under the supervision and guarantee of the United Nations.
