Gaza in Flames | IDF’s Extensive Ground Operations Leaves 100+ Dead Amid Ceasefire Talks

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gaza’s last northern hospitals—like the Indonesian facility—now shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation won’t bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.

“I Want Iran-Style Drones!” – Trump Demands U.S. Defense Firms Match Iran’s Cheap, Fast, Deadly UAVs

Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly.
