Sabereen News, affiliated with Kataib Hezbollah, posted a short animation showing an explosion and a projectile bearing a red-and-white emblem resembling the Saudi flag, captioned in Arabic and English "Severing the U.S.-Backed Saudi Hand," on the evening of 6 August. The post carries no target, method, timetable or claim of an operation. It appeared in the same hours as the reporting that Saudi Arabia was braced for attacks by Iraqi factions.
