Iranian-Backed Force Releases Video From Contact Line With Israeli-Occupied Golan Heights

On December 23, Liwa Fatemiyoun, an Iranian-backed Afghan group operating in Syria, released a propaganda video threatening Israel.

The video, titled “When the Time Comes,” shows one of the Afghan group’s members, likely a commander, standing a few kilometers away from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in southern Syria.

“The final target is that mountain ahead,” the fighter says in the video while pointing at what appears to be Mount Hermon, adding “We are close to Israel.”

Operating in the Syrian governorates of Aleppo, Homs and Deir Ezzor, Liwa Fatemiyoun is believed to has between 10,000-20,000 fighters.

The Afghan group, which is funded, trained, and equipped by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), played a key role in the battles against ISIS in central Syria during 2016 and 2017.

In the video, a narrator says that the battle against ISIS and other terrorist groups in Aleppo and Palmyra were only “preparations” for the final battle with Israel in the Golan Heights.

Last year, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) regained control of a long strip of the separation line with Israel in southern Syria following a large-scale operation. Back then, many reports claimed that Israel and Russia reached an agreement that would keep Iranian forces 30-40 km away from the line. These reports were not apparently accurate.

The Syrian occupied region gained attention once again last March, when U.S. President Donald Trump recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Trump’s decision was rejected by Damascus, its allies and even Washington’s allies in the Middle East and Europe.

Despite being meant as propaganda, Liwa Fatemiyoun’s video highlighted the tension in southern Syria. The Israeli media viewed the video as a direct threat to Israel with many warning that Iran is strengthening its presence near Golan.

Nice fake-ass video, Mossad. Still isn’t quite convincing enough to make the US start the Iranian Holocaust for Israel. Weak effort and pathetic. I give it a D+ at best. I look forward to your next laughable effort. Maybe after greasing the skids with a few more bags of shekels to treasonous, dual-citizen chickenhawk U.S. Congress Folks. Usurping the US government seems to have worked pretty good for Israel in the past. Besides, you can just demand more money from U.S. taxpayers to cover your bribery expenses (please save your receipts for audit purposes).

Issam

I agree with you, since i’ve noticed so many tweets uploding the same video but with completly different titles to push their Anti-iranian propaganda.

Issam

Weak! here is an even closer image Of an Hezbollah reconnaissance mission.

Issam we’ve discussed it already, sure we know they are there just like Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon (UNIFIL can’t touch them). But if they dare to shoot any rockets, we all know how it’s gonna end.

Issam

Srly… do you really beleive this rocket propaganda BS that you are being fed?
When was the last time Hezbollah or Syria or even Iran had lunched these rockets you are talking about?

Iran is playing a russian roulette with your country and Syria, sending their proxies to our border just makes us more determined to hit them.

Issam

OMG… you can’t even spot a propaganda when it’s there in front of you.
“Israel Demolished Iranian Republican Guard Corps HQs in Syria in Retaliation for Rocket Attack ” the title is enough to realize that.
1-what did they “demolish”…? Any journalist or media who uses misleading words like this has already discredited himself.
2- ‘Republican Gard corps’ xD srly ??????? is the article refering to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. haha They can even get this right… what a joke!
3- They made this claim that 4 rocket were lunched from Syria, first of all Syria wouldn’t lunch 4 rockets, and definitly not use rockets, they would use missiles like they did last year when they lunched 55 missiles and not 20 like what your governement said.
i have plenty more to say but this is just begining of the acticle…honestly i expected more from you.

Marcus Porcius Cato

You expected more from a Ziotroll?!

<>

You’re missing my point Issam. They are using Syria for their own private war against us, now sending their Afghan puppets to die in a war they know they can not win. I mean, do you really think those militias can really destroy Israel? they only bring more destruction upon Syria and we get full support to act when THEY shoot into our territory. Besides, what does an Afghan has to do in Syria except for being a mercenary for Iran?

Issam

You have no point, you are being a troll, You made a claim and i challenged your claim but you couldn’t prove it so instead you changed the subject…Afghanis/Pakistanis migrated to Iran for generations and part of the Iranian society, here’s your answer.
But let me be clear, There is no private war or some other nonsense… Our moto is transparent and united from Iran/Iraq/Syria/Yemen/Lebanon, We will never be neutral in battle between Good and evil, Truth and falsehold, This war is inevitable.

<>

You denied the fact they shot rockets over here, what else can I argue with you about?
If you say the war is inevitable, then I guess only time will tell how things go.

Issam

The article claimed this “fact” by Qoting a local propaganda news outlet like Times of Israel and the trustworthy Nytimes which claim every week “Russian airstrikes targeted a hospital full of civilian and here is our Visual proof”? and i’m supposed to accept this “fact”as a reality ?…The article itslef is a propaganda and Badly written, they jump from one subject to another trying to confuse the reader.

I loved that in the video they call us cowards, how about they get a bit closer to the border? we have enough bombs for them. But if they really wanna play, then the IDF ground forces (me included) would be happy to face them in battle. Come.

Lupus

ur not only cowards but also stupid

Said Lupus.

Val Shadowhawk

He’s right. You are stupid!

LR, the Iranians won’t leave anyway even if Assad asks them to, they didn’t spend all those resources just to go back home in a nice way. No, they are looking for a war with Israel when the time is right for them, using other countries and proxies. Iraqis already understood it, now demanding Iran to leave their country, Lebanese also protest against Hezbollah which steals all their money. Besides like I told Issam here, do people really think militias can actaully destroy us? maybe hurt us a bit yes, but they will get hit even worse and also their host country. The best thing they can do for themselves and Syria is to stay away from the border, and if it comes to war eventually…well then we are highly motivated to fight and protect our homeland. We can discuss over it in the chat room if you’d like.

verner

it’s to tell you that the forces are getting closer to the hymies’ stolen land and that they soon will be right upon it, kicking screaming and crying hymies into the sea or early graves – nothing will prevent the illegal occupation of palestine to end. rest assured. and once the hymies are dealt with,the palestinians can return to what is rightfully theirs, prepare the sale of the gas the hymies presently are working to get to the market
and start the exploration for oil in the golan heights and finally, string netanyahu up in the nearest lamppost together with the other criminals in the knesset.

Liberal guy

What kind of video this is from mossad social media department office.

Issam

Here’s the irony, someguy uploaded this video and not Liwa Fatemiyoun page that usualy make these kind of videos. but when it got some attention they shared it and now everybody claim it’s it’s 100% liwa Fatemiyoun “propaganda video”

Veritas Vincit

– “I hope all Israelis will listen carefully to what I say: Netanyahu, his government and military officials did not correctly evaluate the magnitude this war will reach if they succeed to light its fires. What will be its extent, what will be its territory, who will participate on it, who will enter it… Netanyahu, his government and military officials do not know how this war will end if they start it……

……I now call first all Jews except the Zionists to detach their considerations from Zionist calculations who lead themselves to their final destruction. And I call on all those who came in occupied Palestine believing the promises that they would find the land of milk and honey to leave. I call them to leave Palestine and go back to the countries from which they came so that they don’t become mere fuel in any war where would lead them the stupid Netanyahu government. For if Netanyahu launched a war in this region, there may be no more time for them to leave Palestine, and there will be no safe place for them in occupied Palestine……

…..the scale of the massacres committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region, its partnership with Daesh and its open complicity in the project of partition of our region through its open and eager support to the secession of Kurdistan, all this will push the people of the region to render a capital verdict against them.” [Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah]

As Israel continues to engineer successive wars against its strategic opponents, despite the current restraint by the Syrian and Iranian governments, limits of restraint will almost certainly in time be exceeded.

– The Coming Middle East Conflagration, Michael Oren [former Israeli Ambassador to the United States], The Atlantic, November 4, 2019) [Excerpts] “The senior ministers of the Israeli government met twice last week to discuss the possibility of open war with Iran. ….. Israeli troops, especially in the north, have been placed on war footing. Israel is girding for the worst and acting on the assumption that fighting could break out at any time. And it’s not hard to imagine how it might arrive. The conflagration, like so many in the Middle East, could be ignited by a single spark. Israeli fighter jets have already conducted hundreds of bombing raids against Iranian targets in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. ….. The result could be a counterstrike by Iran, using cruise missiles that penetrate Israel’s air defenses and smash into targets like the Kiryah, Tel Aviv’s equivalent of the Pentagon. Israel would retaliate massively against Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut as well as dozens of its emplacements along the Lebanese border. And then, after a day of large-scale exchanges, the real war would begin.” [End]

Recognising recent changes in regional security architecture, the response is likely to be in a multi-front format (a regional conflagration). Also recognising Israeli moves to Judaise key Islamic sites, the likely approaching conflagration will almost certainly have a Holy War component:

– Hamas says Israeli violations at al-Aqsa will ignite ‘all-out regional war’, PressTV, Oct 21, 2019

– “The gathering holy war. Slowly, Israel is transforming a settler-colonial project against the Palestinians into a battle with the wider Islamic world. It is turning a territorial conflict into a holy war.” (How the Rule of the Rabbis Is Fueling a Holy War in Israel, by Jonathan Cook, Antiwar, February 23, 2019)

The Israelis have embraced war as a mechanism to pursue geostrategic objectives. The Israelis have played a key role in engineering successive allied wars, are involved in active proxy warfare operations (involving the support of militants that are affiliated with groups listed as terrorist organisations), are conducting ongoing missile strikes (aggression under International Law) and are committing gross human rights abuses against an effectively imprisoned and economically strangled population (replicating the Warsaw Ghetto format as even identified by various Jewish figures [1-4]).

It is likely the ongoing actions (aggressions) of Israel will eventually result in blowback (when limits of restraint are exceeded) and sooner than they would like to believe (recognising recent developments). In addition to a likely approaching regional (multi-front) conflagration, the Israelis should be concerned of the likely associated Holy War component as religious wars tend to be more vicious than geostrategic wars. This should be self-evident.

Note: Many would believe the ideologies of Zionism and Fascism should be incompatible however they share key features including: beliefs of superiority, pursuit of power and imposition of dominance through force, ultra-nationalism, embrace of war/militarism, practices of ethnic segregation (apartheid policies), pursuit of aggressive territorial expansionism, brutal actions against opposition/minority groups (dehumanisation of others, the mistreatment/atrocities against others perceived as less important [often less human]). It is likely in time the horrors the state of Israel has perpetrated against populations in the regions will come back on it.
