I am more interested in the damage in Israel

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I came accross one video which clamed a large burning building in Israel was a hit ammo depot but I could not find any confirmation for it yet. There is a lot of reposts of old clips claiming to be new clips. Israel has also reenabled censorship mode. But videos will likely leak out slowly over the course of the day.

Easy way to avoid that is stick mainly to state media outlets and their reporters' socials

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

State media rarely shows interesting footage. For example in Israel they are banned from showing the impacts of projecties.

Fuck US troops too hope both get massive casualties.

So far AFAIK they let Italians die while they intercepted missiles heading for US troops, probably trying to get people/ the right in Europe more hyped for this war. I hate war....

They learned from everyone celebrating last time that they should censor that lol

Reports in Reuters told me attacking usa bases was going to upset citizens in the gulf states haha

I don't blame them for being happy and I am not surprised they would be. No one likes foreign troops in their country specially the violent and racist kind US troops are. Bahrainis also despite their government despise Israel and many are sympathetic to Iran.

Can anyone translate what they're actually saying? I'm used to associating "Allahu Akbar" with Islamic battle cries, but it sounds like they're saying "Allah As-Salaaam".

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

According to translate

Sayara, ya shabab = plane, you youngsters/guys

Udrub = hit/punch (they are cheering for the drone impact)

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Musayara = drone

and yes they are cheering the strike on the Burger Empire base

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

'Allahu Akbar' means 'God is great'. It has nothing to do with battle.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"Allahu Akbar" is not exactly a battle cry tbf.

[–] CaptainRipcord@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Adrob Adrob Tel Aviv! (Note: Memri is Israeli propaganda. This is a banger song and I think the translations are correct here. Memri deleted it after people started liking attacks on Israel, so I trust it lol)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As-salamu_alaykum

now i don't speak arabic, but i'm betting as-salamu means either peace or be with you and allah means god, so "allah as-salam" i'm guessing by process of elimination it means either (~~god peace~~ [no]) or (god be with you [yes this one])

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Love this so much! Now israel!

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I wonder how long before there's drone attacks on continental US soil.

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is nothing close to that honestly

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

why bother tbh, the US's police kills and harrases it's population more than enough

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

And when they aren’t doing it, the people are.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Didn't the coast guard shoot down a CBP drone the other day? or was it the CIA shooting it down i forget. I just remember it was a CBP drone and a laser.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

Don't know. I hadn't heard anything about that.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Lol good luck with that
