Truth is @James__Harkin got the basics right in terms of #Douma's "propaganda" value.
The ATTACK DID HAPPEN, Sarin wasn't used, but we'll have to wait for @OPCW to prove Chlorine or otherwise.
However, everything else around the attack was manufactured for maximum effect.
Many months in the making, my long read investigation into Douma theintercept.com/2019/02/09/… Many thanks to all who helped, and a wonderfully collaborative team of editors and checkers @theintercept
In April, Syrian Security Services intercepted a shipment of Chinese-made power inverters and solar power systems. They discovered what appeared to be 'listening bugs' while randomly testing for quality control. A wave of arrests ensued targeting 'connected' suppliers & middlemen
Well done @Sotlive. Your terrible, misleading headline (minus the sub) is now being used on Far Right and Reform UK Telegram groups to stoke the fire under their 'two-tier' policing narrative.

It's difficult to find journalists with honesty, integrity, and empathy like #JonSnow. He went to #Gaza, and he saw the truth, and he reported nothing but the truth.
From the Archives is a message that still applies today.
27th July 2014 , before October 7th.
Listen carefully.

Congratulations to Sir Terry Waite on receiving his KCMG from King Charles today. Held hostage for 5 years in Lebanon and a man with so much humanity.

Our former @AP colleague in Gaza…
Late Friday, I got distressing news that an Israeli airstrike hit the #Gaza house where 10s of my relatives lived. With no internet & phone connection, it took 12 hours to confirm that 18 of my extended family members lost their lives & 18 others remain trapped under the rubble.

Beirut-based @AFP video journalist (and all-around great guy) @collinsdyl was wounded in a drone attack while on assignment in Ukraine.
Stay strong, Dylan. See you soon. ❤️🙏🏼

Former @TheMatildas players call on the one and only @Shaimaakhalil to take their penalty live on @BBCNews #multitasking #WWCNow #WWC23 #WWC ⚽️
Effectively, the #Prigozhin Insurrection proves that #Russia Intelligence, internal politics and #Putin's decision-making were altogether incompetent and much weaker than what #Damascus did when faced with the same Prigozhin phenomenon at the height of the war in #Syria.

How are things, almost 5 months later, in the area in Syria where 90% of the earthquake victims fell?
Out soon — a piece written by @RenaNetjes & me, based on Rena’s 3-week field research in different locations in northern Syria.
We analyze the impact of February’s quake in northwest Syria & argue that greater international support to the northwest is highly needed

👉NEW -- Exclusive: Army putting ‘outrageous spin’ on depleted uranium science
by @pmillerinfo
Scientist cited by British military to justify sending depleted uranium shells to #Ukraine had previously criticised use of such ammunition in Iraq

This is slowly heading towards the doomed MNF 1983 #Lebanon Mission.
US Marines eventually became prisoners of their own barracks, couldn't even go on patrols in #Beirut. Lame ducks, Reagan had to eventually pull them out.
Seems like #Syria and #Iran rolling the dice on it again.
This tweet wasn't a vain exercise. @SojtfLevant are aware that the days of preventative action are long gone. Their enemies have entrenched themselves too deep, too close, and subverted their so-called friends.
PS: SAMs below weren't depicted by mistake

The @SyrianFree_Army and #Coalition forces are working to educate the local populous about potential threats from drone attacks in the region. Efforts like this continue to improve the region’s awareness and stability leading to a better future for all. #AdviseAssistEnable
