In the video, Al-Ghariani called on Muslims in Egypt and Morocco to kill Israeli soldiers vacationing in these countries during the holiday. He claimed that Israeli soldiers are “blood-shedding murderers” and not civilian tourists.

All major players’ naval planning will change as a result of what’s been learned from the past two years’ experiences in this conflict.
The Mainstream Media has hyped up Russia’s losses in the so-called “Battle of the Black Sea” as being purely the result of Ukrainian efforts, which are aimed at boosting morale as the conflict’s dynamics shift and Kiev is pushed back on the defense, especially after its defeat in Avdeevka last weekend.
