LIVE TV Captures Israeli Airstrike on Damascus — Syrian Army HQ Hit, Reporter Screams, Smoke Engulfs

Shocking live footage captured by Kurdish media outlet Rudaw and Al Jazeera shows the exact moment an Israeli airstrike hits the Syrian Army Headquarters in Damascus. Viewers watched in real-time as a reporter screamed and ran for cover, while a massive cloud of smoke engulfed the skyline. The target appears to be the Syrian General Staff building, a critical military facility. This dramatic escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of operations to protect Israel’s northern front — and specifically addressed the Druze population to stop crossing borders. #IsraelSyriaConflict #IsraeliAirstrike #DamascusStrike #LiveTVStrike #BreakingNews #SyriaNews #IDFAirstrike #MiddleEastTensions #Rudaw #AlJazeera #Netanyahu #SyrianArmyHQ #GeneralStaffBuilding #LiveOnAir #Oneindia ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~

BREAKING: Iran-Backed Militias Strike U.S Oil Site in Iraq —Kurdistan in Flames, Drone War Escalates [Video]

BREAKING: Iran-Backed Militias Strike U.S Oil Site in Iraq —Kurdistan in Flames, Drone War Escalates

A U.S.-operated oil field in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region has been obliterated by a drone strike — and all signs point to Iran-backed militias. The target: HKN Energy’s Sarsang site in Duhok, now in flames and completely shut down. As smoke rises, so do fears of a wider proxy war unfolding across Iraq. The attack, which Kurdish officials condemned as a “deliberate act of terrorism,” comes amid a stalled oil export system and growing instability. The U.S. has issued a sharp rebuke, demanding Iraq take action. Meanwhile, Baghdad and Erbil are under pressure to respond — fast. Is this the beginning of a new front in Iran’s shadow war with the U.S.? Or a direct message to Washington about who controls Iraq’s energy future? #Iraq #Kurdistan #DroneStrike #IranProxies #MiddleEastCrisis #USInterests #HKN #OilWar #EnergySecurity #IranVsUS #Duhok #Baghdad #ProxyWar #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #OilCrisis ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~

Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ‘Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears [Video]

Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ‘Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears

Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself “Children of Fire” claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign. The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town Çeşme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues. #TurkeyWildfires #ArsonAttack #ChildrenOfFire #PKK #IzmirFire #AntalyaFire #WildfireTerror #TurkeyEmergency #ForestFires #ClimateCrisis #TerrorismAlert #PoliticalArson #Kurds #EmergencyEvacuation #ÇeşmeFires #TurkishDisaster #SecurityThreat #FightingFlames #FirefighterHero #IzmirBurns ~ED.194~HT.408~

An Israeli soldier, Staff Sgt. Amit Cohen, 19, from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, was killed in southern Gaza as IDF forces pushed deeper into Khan Younis. A preliminary probe revealed Cohen died from an Israeli munitions blast, highlighting the dangers of the ongoing ground offensive. Hamas’s military wing continues targeted attacks, vowing an attrition war if Israeli tanks advance further.

‘Israel Is Using…’ Palestinian PM’s BIG Accusation Against Netanyahu and Israel’s Dirty War Tactics [Video]

‘Israel Is Using…’ Palestinian PM’s BIG Accusation Against Netanyahu and Israel’s Dirty War Tactics

In a scathing press conference in Ramallah, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa accused Israel of systematically using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. He stated that by targeting food supplies and aid convoys, Israel is intentionally inflicting suffering on Palestinian civilians. Mustafa urged the international community to speak out, accusing world leaders of enabling Israel’s tactics through silence. “Do not be complicit,” he warned, as images of malnourished children circulate online. The comments come amid growing international concern over the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. With famine-like conditions spreading rapidly, global pressure is mounting on Israel to open aid corridors. Mustafa’s words have ignited fresh debate over war ethics, with many accusing the global powers of moral hypocrisy. Israel has denied such accusations, calling them baseless and politically motivated. Meanwhile, calls for ceasefire and humanitarian intervention continue to grow louder from various corners of the world. #Palestine #Gaza #Israel #MohammedMustafa #Starvation #WarCrimes #WeaponOfWar #HumanRights #Famine #GazaCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #WarEthics #UN #HumanitarianAid #GlobalSilence #StopTheWar #Ramallah #FoodBlockade #CeasefireNow #IsraelPalestine Also Read Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Another deadly incident in Gaza as Israeli forces opened fire on desperate Palestinians seeking food aid, killing at least 32 and wounding dozens. Witnesses say the gunfire was “targeted to kill,” while Israel claims only “warning shots” were fired at suspects.

Turkish Firm LOOTS ₹80 Crore, FLEES Kanpur | 53 Indian Contractors CHEATED Amid Anti-Turkey Protests [Video]

Turkish Firm LOOTS ₹80 Crore, FLEES Kanpur | 53 Indian Contractors CHEATED Amid Anti-Turkey Protests

In a stunning betrayal, Turkish construction firm Gulermak has reportedly fled Kanpur, leaving behind ₹80 crore in unpaid dues and 53 Indian contractors high and dry. The company, responsible for the underground section of the Kanpur Metro, delayed payments for nearly ten months—then vanished. This came in the wake of nationwide anti-Turkey protests tied to Ankara's stance in the India-Pakistan conflict. Despite repeated complaints, UPMRC and government authorities took no action, allowing foreign officials to evade accountability. Is this a case of pure negligence—or a political embarrassment India can’t afford to ignore? #GulermakScam #KanpurMetro #TurkishCompanyFraud #IndiaTurkeyTensions #UnpaidContractors #MetroScandal #UPMRC #ConstructionFraud #TurkeyIndiaConflict #₹80CroreScam #IndianContractorsBetrayed #CorruptionAlert #MetroProjectExposed ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~GR.122~
