KH channel pushes back on calls to take the resistance's weapons

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ittijah TV, KH's official owned media, posted a curated round-up of X posts responding to voices demanding the withdrawal of the resistance's weapons, under the headline "How can the page of the men be turned so easily?", on the evening of 20 August 2026. The post carries no operational language, named opponent or stated consequence. It is the only item in the collected window from any tracked channel addressing the weapons question directly.
