On 28 July 2026 at 14:36 UTC, iNEWS, an affiliated/aligned media channel of Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada, posted the headline "صفقة قرن جديدة في وزارة الكهرباء.. تعاقدات غريبة يكشفها الخفاجي" ("A new deal of the century at the Electricity Ministry — strange contracts revealed by al-Khafaji"). The item is headline-only: it names no contract, no value, no company and no ministry official beyond the person credited with the disclosure, and the channel supplied no article body in the collected post. No other tracked channel in the collected window — including Kata'ib Hezbollah's Al-Ittijah TV, AAH's Al-Ahad TV, or Badr's Al-Ghadeer TV and Watan TV — was observed carrying, echoing or contesting the allegation, and no external or non-militia media reporting on the same allegation is present in the retrieved evidence. The rung is therefore credible for the fact of publication and its wording, and no higher: the underlying contracting claim rests on one headline from a single faction-aligned outlet.
Opening the record…
