Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded August 25th, 2024.
Claiming it had information on impending attacks, Israel Saturday launched what it called "preemptive strikes" against targets in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah returned with rocket barrages and drone strikes aimed at enemy radar installations and army barracks in the Golan Heights and against the AMAN military intelligence Headquarters, located outside Tel Aviv. It was, the Islamic Resistance says, the first of a two phase response to the assassination of senior Hezbollah figure, Sayyed Fouad Shukr in Beirut last month.
Meanwhile, non-Western mediated information about what's going on in the region is becoming more difficult to come by for those in the West as local journalists are murdered in Gaza, independent reporters arrested and harassed by thuggish police services in Britain, and news platforms blocked and their principles arrested in France.
Laith Marouf is founder and Executive Director of FreePalestine.Video. He's a long-time multimedia consultant, producer, and frontline reporter who's been chronicling the escalation to war from his base in Beirut. Free Palestine Video says its purpose is to provide coverage of the region, “…in the absence of media supporting the resistance forces in the English language due to the ban in the West.”
Today, Laith Marouf and the West’s disappearing freedoms.
