Gaza Breaking: Katz Says ‘Will open GATES OF HELL’ For HAMAS Fighters, Threatens Iran Backed Forces

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet. #Israel #Hamas #GazaWar #OperationGideonsChariots #IsraelKatz #Netanyahu #MiddleEastWar #Trump #HostageCrisis #IDF #IsraelVsHamas #BreakingNews #WarInGaza #MilitaryOffensive #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastCrisis #DecisiveStage #IsraelStrikes #GazaCity #IsraelDefenseForces #GlobalConflict #SecurityCrisis #IsraelWarUpdate #HamasTargeted

UN Declares First Famine in Middle East But Saudis Keep Quiet| Netanyahu Says Will Destroy Gaza If..

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. #GazaFamine #UNReport #StarvationCrisis #Palestine #GazaUnderSiege #HumanitarianCrisis #Blockade #MiddleEast #Israel #UNWarning #HungerCrisis #GlobalJustice #SaveGaza #PalestinianLives #UNAlert #GazaStarvation #MuslimNationsSilent #BreakingNews #WorldCrisis #IPCReport #HumanRights #FamineDeclared #Gaza ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

Colombia Terror Attack: 17 Killed As Colombia Hit By DEADLIEST Attack | ‘Police Helicopter Downed’

Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead. Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia. At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine. Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people. President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators. The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks. The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country. #Colombia #FARC #CarBomb #HelicopterAttack #Cali #Antioquia #TerrorAttack #DrugCartel #CocaCrops #NarcoWars #BreakingNews #LatinAmerica #SecurityCrisis #GlobalNews #Violence #ColombiaAttacks #FARCDissidents #CocaineTrade #PoliceKilled #WorldNews ~ED.102~HT.408~
