On the morning of 17 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried legal expert Saad al-Bakhati stating that parliament has the power to relieve Faleh al-Fayyad of his post if his failure in dealing with what the channel called "Saudi aggression" were established. Roughly twenty-four minutes earlier the same channel aired a segment on a parliamentary summons of security commanders to investigate why Popular Mobilization headquarters were not evacuated before they were struck, with on-screen lines saying prior warnings had reached the leadership and demanding accountability for delays in notifying the brigades that were hit. Both items rest on a single channel; no other tracked channel in the window carried either, and no supplied item names who carried out the strike or claims responsibility for it.
