Unit 10,000, an outlet affiliated with Kataib Hezbollah, posted at 21:41 UTC on 27 July 2026: "The saboteur terrorist parties, in a statement, confirm the targeting of a number of their headquarters and camps in Erbil" (الاحزاب المخربة الارهابية في بيان لها، تؤكد استهداف عدد من مقراتها ومعسكراتها في أربيل). The acknowledgement of being struck belongs to those parties, not to Unit 10,000; the full text of their statement is not in the retrieved evidence. Sabereen News, from the same faction network, used the identical epithet 52 minutes later when reporting fires at Giznikan camp, while Al-Ghadeer TV, Badr's official media, reported the Erbil and Sulaymaniyah events without any such epithet.
Public branding of Iraqi Kurdish parties as terrorist targets by a Kataib Hezbollah-affiliated outlet lowers the rhetorical threshold for further strikes on them and marks a divergence in how the Kataib Hezbollah and Badr media networks are willing to talk about them.
