The third installment of the Living Martyr explores General Soleimani’s unique close bond and friendship with Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, commander of the Hashd Shabi (PMF). It shows how the General united the various groups and factions within Iraq in order to destroy the brutal and bloodthirsty group, ISIS (DAESH). This special part also explores how General Soleimani blew the lid off the reality that America was collaborating closely with ISIS, supplying them with food, ammunition and military equipment. While the US tried to claim they were the ones who stopped ISIS, their mainstream media machine pumping out false information on their farfetched narrative, the informed world had woken up to the truth: America in fact supported ISIS and Iran defeated them. It is through the recognition of martyrdom that General Qasem Soleimani truly served the cause of Imam Mahdi (A). #QasemSoleimani #AbuMahdi #AlMuhandis #HashdShabi #PMF #IRGC #Iran #Freedom #Syria #Afghanistan #Iraq #SevereRevenge #Revenge #Islam #DeathToISIS #DeathToAmerica #DeathToisrael #DeathToUK

By Wael Elasady. This Friday the Israeli army opened fire with live ammunition on a local villager as the weekly Bilin Protest Wound down. Bilin a village of 1600 just west of Ramallah holds a weekly non violent protest against the Apartheid Wall and the expanding Israeli settlements that have swallowed up more than 50 percent of the villages land

The Israeli government denies its soldiers used live ammunition during a demonstration in the occupied West Bank on Saturday. The army issued a statement saying its soldiers only fired rubber coated steel bullets against what they described as a "violent and illegal riot" in the village. However, men died when they were hit by what doctors say were live rounds. Israel reportedly plans to launch an investigation.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/24/us-syria-idUSTRE72N2MC20110324. President Bashar al-Assad made an unprecedented pledge of greater freedom and more prosperity to Syrians Thursday as anger mounted following a crackdown on protesters that left at least 37 dead. As an aide to Assad in Damascus read out a list of decrees, which included a possible end to 48 years of emergency rule, a human rights group said a leading pro-democracy activist, Mazen Darwish, had been arrested. In the southern city of Deraa, a hospital official said at least 37 people had been killed there Wednesday when security forces opened fire on demonstrators inspired by uprisings across the Arab world that have shaken authoritarian leaders. Announcing the sort of concessions that would have seemed almost unimaginable three months ago in Syria, Assad adviser Bouthaina Shaaban told a news conference the president had not himself ordered his forces to fire on protesters: "I was a witness to the instructions of His Excellency that live ammunition should not be fired -- even if the police, security forces or officers of the status were being killed." Assad, she said, would draft laws to provide for media freedoms and allow political movements other than the Baath party, which has ruled for half a century. Assad, who succeed his late father Hafez al-Assed in 2000, had, Shaaban said, decreed the drafting of a law for political parties "to be presented for public debate" and would strive above all to raise living standards across the country. She said another decree would look at "ending with great urgency the emergency law, along with issuing legislation that assures the security of the nation and its citizens." DERAA KILLINGS Security forces opened fire on hundreds of youths on the outskirts of Deraa Wednesday, witnesses said, after nearly a week of protests in which seven civilians had already died. The main hospital in Deraa, in southern Syria near the Jordanian border, had received the bodies of at least 37 protesters killed Wednesday, a hospital official said. Around 20,000 people marched Thursday in the funerals for nine of those killed, chanting freedom slogans and denying official accounts that infiltrators and "armed gangs" were behind the killings and violence in Deraa. "Traitors do not kill their own people," they chanted. "God, Syria, Freedom. The blood of martyrs is not spilled in vain!" As Syrian soldiers armed with automatic rifles roamed the streets of the southern city, residents emptied shops of basic goods and said they feared Assad's government was intent on crushing the revolt by force. Assad, a close ally of Iran, key player in neighboring Lebanon and supporter of militant groups opposed to Israel, had earlier dismissed demands for reform in Syria, a country of 20 million people run by the Baath Party since a 1963 coup. Assad's father took personal in 1970.

The NATO strike that hit a pro-democracy convoy outside of the eastern town of Brega killing at least 10 people may have been a mistake. Although the population in the country's east is prepared to forgive the mistake, there is less sympathy is other parts of Libya. Such incidents may have just given Muammar Gaddafi's spokespeople propaganda ammunition. Al Jazeera's Laurance Lee reports from Benghazi. (02 April 2011)

[14 Oct 2013] Egypt security forces use live ammo against pro Morsi crowds on Oct. 6 - English

Police were tipped off that the truck belonging to an aid organization was carrying arms for al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria. But their search of the cargo was prevented by Hatay Governor Jela-lettin Lekesiz, and the vehicle went on its way. Reports say an army post then stopped the truck and found ammunition and weapons onboard. Now the chief provincial public prosecutor is investigating the incident. Turkey is a vocal critic of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has openly supported the insurgents fighting the government there. Ankara, however, denies arming militants in Turkey\\\'s crisis-hit neighbor. Back in December, local media said that Turkey had shipped 47 tonnes of weapons to insurgents since June.

At least seven people are killed in anti-government rallies across Egypt, as the country undertakes its first voting since the army\'s ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi in July. Over a dozen others have also been injured in several cities. There were also clashes in front of an interior ministry building in Alexandria. Meanwhile, security forces have stormed the campus of the al-Mansoura University in the city with armored vehicles, and used live ammunition and gas canisters against protesting students. This is the first day of a two-day national vote on the country\'s new constitution, drafted by the army-backed interim government. Under the draft text, the formation of religious political parties is banned. Critics say the new charter only favors the army. If approved, it will replace the current constitution which was passed under Morsi. A coalition led by his Muslim Brotherhood movment has boycotted the referendum.
