𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 | A protester breached the airside perimeter at Shannon Airport in Ireland, climbed onto the wing of a parked US Air Force C-130 Hercules and damaged the aircraft with what is believed to be a hammer, temporarily taking it out of service and forcing a brief airport closure before Gardaí arrested the individual. The incident comes amid growing criticism of Shannon Airport’s role in facilitating US military transit and logistics operations linked to the US-Israeli war against Iran, with activists accusing the airport of enabling military movements through Irish territory.

an indispensable report. this is the same dynamic that i have highlighted in the case of Cop City and Atlanta’s movement space more generally. the philanthropic arms of the same corporations and institutions that make up the police foundation also fund the local NPIC. 🧵

Ebrahim Hudayfa, son of the late Abu Obeida (Hudayda al-Kahlout) has published an important message detailing that Tufan al-Aqsa was a preemptive strike based on intelligence collection by the Qassam Brigades. Although this is not entirely a novel revelation, what is most notable is that this intelligence was collected through “aerial surveillance” in conjunction with a “cyberattack” conducted in the period preceding 7 October. (This is, incidentally, in keeping with the conclusion I reached in my 19 March 2026 research article, “The Hackers of the Islamic Resistance Movement: A Historical Review of Hamas' Hackers, Digital Intelligence and Cyberattacks,” where I analyze the DDoS attacks that Qassam’s “Cyber Weapon” unit undertook in the weeks preceding Tufan al-Aqsa.) Ebrahim Hudayfa’s newly published message reads: “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Helper and the Supporter, who fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His servant, strengthened His soldiers, and single-handedly defeated the confederates. Prior to October 7, [which was] a preemptive strike unprecedented in the history of the Zionist entity, the Qassam Brigades, through aerial surveillance and in conjunction with a cyberattack, discovered a treacherous Zionist plan, an operation of the following name: “The Cry of the Young Over the Old” (“בכיית הילדים על המבוגרים”, “Bchiat ha-yaladim al ha-mvugarim”). This operation aimed to assassinate 40 of the highest-ranking members of the leadership of al-Qassam and their families in the first strike, using warplanes, within less than half an hour. It also aimed to bomb all al-Qassam sites and all affiliated targets. It was estimated that there would be ten thousand martyrs in the first strike alone. This would be followed by the beginning of a large ground operation aimed at destroying rocket platforms. This is one of the reasons, though not the main reason, that led to the 7 October operation. ‘And Allah is predominant over His affair; but most people do not know.’ - Abu Hudhaifa”

💢 REPORT | Opening Strikes in U.S.-Israeli Bombing Campaign Targeted Heart of Iran’s Pistachio Trade Iran was once the world’s leading pistachio producer. Today, USDA data show the U.S., led by California, accounts for roughly 65% of global output, while Iran’s share has fallen to about 18%. In the first week of the war, reports and geolocated satellite imagery indicated strikes in and around Rafsanjan, the heart of Iran’s pistachio sector, including apparent damage to pistachio warehouse facilities near the airport. The Resnick family, owners of The Wonderful Company and dominant players in California’s pistachio industry, have used political influence to secure vast water rights in drought-stricken regions, at the expense of local communities. The 2025 documentary Pistachio Wars examines their longstanding backing of pro-Israel lobbying groups, arguing that hawkish policies toward Iran align with their commercial interests, as weakening a key global competitor benefits their bottom line. 🎥 Pistachio Wars (2025) trailer.
