Egyptian restaurant angers Israelis with 'Rocket Koshary' dish
ALBAWABA - A photo posted by the famous Egyptian restaurant "Abu Tarek Koshary" on Facebook has rapidly become virally shared.
The photo depicts a rocket-shaped plate of koshary, designed using an artificial intelligence (AI) program, and published under the title "Coming Soon to Markets." It caused a huge buzz among social media users.
The 'Rocket Koshary' dish has not only become a trend among Arabs online, but many Israelis reacted with anger over the dish.
Roi Kais, an Israeli journalist specializing in Arab affairs and an analyst for the Hebrew Channel 11 TV, commented on his official X account earlier, "It seems that Abu Tariq Restaurant, which serves Cairo's beloved koshary, has entered the midst of the war between Israel and Iran."
It is worth noting that Koshary Abu Tarek's Facebook page deleted the image of the 'Rocket Koshary'; however, it is still gaining widespread interaction.
A number of politicians and Israelis also commented on journalist Roi Kais's X post, and a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt wrote that the Egyptian restaurant is popular and beloved by Egyptians.
يتضح أنه بعد التغريدة، قامت صفحة كشري "أبو طارق" في القاهرة على فيسبوك بحذف المنشور الذي كان يروّج لطبق جديد على شكل "صاروخ".وسائل إعلام مصرية ذكرت أن القرار جاء بعد تقارير عن "غضب في إسرائيل"

'We Killed Him': Who did Iran eliminate - and why Is Israel hiding his identity?
ALBAWABA - On social media, a mysterious post made by the official "Iran in Arabic" accounts on Facebook and X has sparked a lot of conjecture. The statement was sent in the early hours of Monday in response to Iran's missile strikes on Tel Aviv, but it did not identify the target. It simply said, "Allahu Akbar.. We killed him." Thousands of users questioned whether the tweet was a reference to a high-profile assassination, sparking a flurry of replies. Given their involvement in the ongoing battle in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir soon came under scrutiny. Many users believed the mysterious remark was a reference to Ben-Gvir, who is known for his radical language and incitement to escalate the conflict, or Netanyahu, whom they called a "war criminal." During a severe information blackout enforced by Israeli authorities, a security source apparently told "Iran in Arabic" that a senior Israeli security figure had been slain in southern Israel, while the message remained purposefully ambiguous. الله اكبر .. لقد قتلناه.! — الاحداث الايرانية (@amar_teCh088) June 16, 2025 As the globe waits for official confirmation or denial, dozens of amusing and speculative comments swamped the initial article, with people confessing that the suspense was "killing them."

Visible Panic: IDF's Avichay Adraee shakes during statement after Iranian strikes
ALBAWABA - Following Iran's recent missile assaults on Israel, Israeli military spokeswoman Avichay Adraee gave a statement in Arabic and seemed obviously frightened. This caused a video to go viral on social media. The spokesman is heard speaking to the Arab public in the video, which was posted on Adraee's official account, perhaps in an attempt to keep spirits up and portray composure. Adraee's right hand was visibly shaking before he swiftly put it into his pocket, however, as viewers noted on sites like X (previously Twitter). Many people saw this as an indication of tension or nervousness. Adraee has often attempted to minimize the impact of Iranian activities and has grown to be a recognizable figure in Israel's Arabic-language outreach initiatives. However, this specific apparition followed a string of missile attacks by Iran in retribution for Israel's "Rising Lion" operation, which struck vital Iranian infrastructure, such as military command centers and nuclear facilities. Adraee's seeming discomfort, according to observers and social media users, is a reflection of the increasing strain on the Israeli military in the midst of what is being called one of the most severe escalations between the two nations to date. 🚨🚨 ظهر المتحدث باسم الجيش الاسرائيلي افيخاي أدرعي ليتحدث عن عدم خوفة من الضربات الإيرانية ولكن الكاميرا كان لها رأي آخر حيث ظهر ويده ترتجف. — اخبار روسيا الاتحادية (@Su_35m) June 14, 2025 Iran's UN ambassador commented on the issue, saying that Tehran's attacks were a part of a larger plan to "restore deterrence" and cautioned Israel from carrying out further military operations within Iranian territory.
