Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, says the Israeli regime dreads the defeat of the Daesh Takfiri terrorists in Syria.
The Tel Aviv regime has been “exposed to an existential threat,” Nasrallah said, adding that Israel also fears demonstrations in some Arab capitals.
Daesh and the al-Nusra Front terrorist group follow the same ideology of Wahabism, he said.
Syria says Israel and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri militant groups operating inside the Arab country.
The Syrian army has repeatedly seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed militants.
Late last year, British media released footage showing Israeli forces treating a wounded Takfiri terrorist in the occupied Golan Heights.

- US ambassador will warn Brexit could have economic consequences
- Matthew Barzun said President Barack Obama was right to warn Britain
- Made it clear Britain cannot simply ‘jump the queue’ for trade deal with US
The American ambassador to Britain will today warn that Britain’s decision to leave the European Union could have serious economic consequences for the country.
Matthew Barzun will say on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs that President Obama was right to warn Britain in April that it would end up at ‘the back of queue’ as a result of Brexit.
In an interview recorded after the referendum, Mr Barzun says it is naive to think that the UK could now somehow ‘jump further ahead’ of its trade rivals.
He adds: ‘The tone in which it was said, there was nothing punitive about it.
‘The point was, you are at the front of the queue right now – he was saying back in April – because we are doing this big trade deal with the European Union, of which you are a member.
‘But if you step out of the front of the queue, by definition you are no longer at the front and some notion that you can jump further ahead; you just want to say that is not the trend for the types of big deals we are doing these days.’
Mr Barzun, 45, says President Obama felt the need to offer up the warning precisely because of the close relationship between Britain and the US.
(JTA) — A Turkish ship packed with aid for the Gaza Strip arrived in Israel, the first since Turkey and Israel reached a reconciliation deal that allows such transfers.
The cargo ship docking at Ashdod, just north of Gaza, on Sunday afternoon was bearing 10,000 tons of humanitarian equipment and food, Haaretz reported.
Israel and Turkey last month agreed to fully reestablish ties ruptured by Israel’s raid on a Turkish-flagged aid flotilla in 2010. Israeli commandos killed 10 Turkish nationals in violent encounters during the raid on the Mavi Marmara, one of the ships attempting to breach a blockade on the strip imposed by Israel after the 2009 Gaza war with Hamas.

(JTA) — Israel’s Minister of Public Security said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has some of the “blood” of recent Israeli terrorism victims on his hands for allowing Palestinian incitement and hate speech to appear on the social media site.
Gilad Erdan charged Saturday that Facebook impedes Israeli police in their efforts to catch terrorists, and sets too high a bar for removing inciteful material.
He noted that the Palestinian teenager who murdered 13-year-old Israeli Hallel Yaffa Ariel in her bed last week declared his desire to die a martyr to the Palestinian cause in a number of Facebook posts in recent months.

Icelanders vote to join boycott on Israeli goods
Iceland’s capital has announced that it will boycott all Israeli products until Palestine is freed from occupation.
On Sunday, Reykjavik’s municipality voted for the boycott, and promised to continue the embargo “as long as the occupation of Palestinian territories continues.”
The vote is part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Tel Aviv, which was initiated in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian organizations that were pushing for “various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets its obligations under international law.”
Since then, thousands of volunteers worldwide have joined the BDS to help promote the Palestinian cause.
Iceland’s move was severely condemned by Israel’s Foreign Ministry, which released a statement claiming that it was unjustified.
The move comes as academics and activists from across the globe are gearing up for a gathering in Tunisia to discuss further developing the BDS movement.
The gathering titled Boycott as a Strategy to Counter Israel’s Occupation and Apartheid: Present-day Realities and Aspirations” is organized by the Center for Research and Policy Studies (ACRPS) in the capital city of Tunis and is scheduled to be held from August 4 to 6.

Takfiris near Lebanon borders pose real threat: Hezbollah
A senior Hezbollah official has expressed concern about the threat posed by Daesh and al-Nusra Front terrorists to Lebanon’s northeastern border areas.
Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, the deputy chief of Hezbollah’s executive council, also said on Saturday the Lebanese resistance movement has played an active role in protecting Lebanese frontiers.
Sheikh Qaouk said the Takfiri danger of Daesh and the Nusra Front on the outskirts of the town of Arsal and the village of Ras Baalbek is “serious, real, comprehensive and continuous.”
“This danger must not be dealt with through complacency or disregard, as some are doing in Lebanon, who insist on ignoring these Takfiri gangs,” he said.
Qaouk further praised the cooperation between the Lebanese army and Hezbollah, saying joint action was of great strategic importance to protect Lebanon from extremist and Israeli threats.
“Through the cooperation…, Lebanon has been able to achieve what many large international coalitions [allegedly fighting] against terrorism in Iraq and Syria haven’t,” the Hezbollah official added.

Death toll from dawn blasts in Iraq capital hits about 130
The death toll from two bombings in a Shia neighborhood in Baghdad at dawn Sunday jumps to 126, Iraqi security and health officials say.
They said 125 people, including 25 children, were killed and at least 147 others wounded when a car bomb went off at a busy commercial street in Baghdad’s Shia neighborhood of Karrada. A police official was quoted as saying that the dead included 10 women and six policemen.
Footage posted on social media showed a large blaze in the main street of Karrada.
The second explosion occurred at an outdoor market in the Shaab neighborhood of southeastern Baghdad, leaving one person dead and wounding five others.
In a twitter post, the Daesh terror group claimed responsibility for the attacks which, it said, were aimed at Shia neighborhoods.
Having suffered heavy losses on the battlefield against Iraqi soldiers, Daesh has recently stepped up its terror attacks across Baghdad, particularly the neighborhoods populated by Shia Muslims.
Baghdad was the scene of back-to-back bombings claimed by Daesh in May, when nearly 200 people lost their lives in and near the city in just a week.

The Shauls and the Goldins have criticized the Israeli government for not making the return of the bodies a part of the reconciliation agreement with Turkey as Turkey has close political relations with Hamas. Hamas has a headquarters in Istanbul.
They are planning to protest and block humanitarian aid shipments into Gaza as long as their son’s remains and the remains of Hadar Goldin are held in Hamas captivity.
Meanwhile, a Turkish aid ship is expected to dock in the port of Ashdod with a humanitarian shipment destined for the Hamas controlled enclave on Sunday as part of the framework of the Israel-Turkish reconciliation agreement.

The picture posted on his feed showed Clinton against a backdrop of hundred dollar bills. Appearing next to her face were the words: “Most corrupt candidate ever” inside a red Star of David.
The picture conjured up images of the typical stereotype equating Jews with money and corruption. Apparently spotting the controversial nature of the choice of symbol, Trump updated the photo by removing the Star of David and replacing it with a red circle. However, in yet another faux pas, he forgot to remove the original version from his account. Only two hours later did he delete the original version featuring the Star of David. Morevoer, the updated version was also the subject of criticism since Trump added the hashtag “AmericaFirst,” a slogan previously defined by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as anti-Semitic.
