Iran’s so-called Axis of Resistance is reportedly unraveling as Hezbollah suffers catastrophic losses in its war against Israel. According to Israeli intelligence assessments, Hezbollah has lost over 4,000 fighters and has been forced to abandon nearly 80% of its territory along the southern Lebanon front. The heavy casualties and shrinking strongholds mark the group’s worst setback in decades

srael’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemen’s Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, “Yemen will be treated like Tehran,” referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: “Whoever raises a hand against Israel – that hand will be cut off.”
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?
Watch the full report for explosive details, regional analysis, and expert insights.

Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fiery warning to Israel and the U.S., vowing that Lebanon will never surrender to foreign “tyranny.” Speaking from Beirut, Qassem declared the resistance against Israeli occupation and American influence as “divine and unstoppable.” As Israeli strikes escalate in South Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for national unity, warns against Western-backed factions, and frames its struggle as one for dignity, justice, and regional sovereignty. A bold message amid rising Middle East tensions.

In blatant defiance of a ceasefire agreement, Israeli drone strikes on Saturday killed at least two people and wounded several others in southern Lebanon. A drone strike in Mahrouna targeted a motorcycle, killing one and injuring two bystanders in a passing car. Hours earlier, another Israeli UAV strike hit a vehicle in Kounine, killing a Hezbollah resistance fighter, identified as Hassan Mohammad Jumaa.
These attacks mark yet another violation of the extended truce that began on November 27 and was supposed to hold past February 18. Despite its expiration, Lebanon had hoped for stability, but Israel’s continued occupation of strategic southern areas and recurring strikes have reignited regional tensions. Beirut has condemned the aggression and vowed to take “all necessary measures” to end Israel’s unlawful military presence. The international community remains silent as Tel Aviv pushes the boundaries of legality and human rights with impunity.

Members of a pro-Palestinian activist group have broken into a military base and damaged two aircrafts.
Two Palestine Action activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Carterton, Oxfordshire, on e-scooters and sprayed red paint on two planes.
The group said the incident took place due to flights departing daily from the base to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, "a base used for military operations in Gaza and across the Middle East".
