2. HEZBOLLAH WARNS IRAN ABLE TO BOMBARD ISRAEL IF WAR STARTED
by AFP
The head of Lebanon's Tehran-backed Hezbollah said Friday that US ally Israel would not be "neutral" if a war broke out between the United States and Iran.
And "Iran is able to bombard Israel with ferocity and force," Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview broadcast on Hezbollah's Al-Manar television.
His remarks came after weeks of increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, and as US President Donald Trump steps up his war of words with the Islamic Republic.
"When the Americans understand that this war could wipe out Israel, they will reconsider," Nasrallah said.
"Our collective responsibility in the region is to work towards preventing an American war on Iran," he said.

ERDOGAN: 'WHOEVER IS ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL, WE ARE AGAINST THEM!'
THE TURKISH PRESIDENT'S DECLARATION TO SUPPORTERS IS JUST THE LATEST DIATRIBE AGAINST THE JEWISH STATE.
By United With Israel Staff, July 28, 2019:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara will oppose anyone who supports the Israeli government.
'Whoever is on the side of Israel, let everyone know that we are against them,' said Erdogan while addressing senior provincial officials from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the Turkish capital, according to the Iran-based Press TV.
'We do not approve of silence on the state terror that Israel blatantly carries out in Palestine,' the Turkish president stated.
Netanyahu has labeled Erdogan an 'anti-Semitic dictator.'
'Hey Netanyahu, behave yourself! You are a tyrant who massacred seven-year-old Palestinian children,' Erdogan told a rally in Ankara in March.
'We have not oppressed any of the Jews in this country. We have not done anything to any synagogues here. Don't provoke us,' he said, implying that Turkish Jews could be in danger.
Erdogan has also clashed with the Trump administration.
He said that the threat of U.S. sanctions against Turkey would not deter Ankara from consolidating its military relations with Russia, including Turkey's deployment of a modern Russian missile defense system.
