DRAMATIC FOOTAGE: Israeli Soldier KILLED In Gaza Tunnel Ambush | Truce & Ceasefire Hopes SHATTER? [Video]

DRAMATIC FOOTAGE: Israeli Soldier KILLED In Gaza Tunnel Ambush | Truce & Ceasefire Hopes SHATTER?

A harrowing attack in southern Gaza claimed the life of Master Sgt. Abraham Azulay, 25, an Israeli combat-engineering reservist, as Hamas gunmen attempted to abduct him during a tunnel ambush. Azulay was killed in the struggle, and militants tried to drag his body away before IDF forces intervened. In a related move, Israel's military has intensified its ground offensive in northern Gaza, deploying the Givati Brigade and 99th Division near Beit Hanoun, aiming to dismantle Hamas tunnels. IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said the operation—dubbed "Operation Gideon’s Chariots"—aims to set conditions favorable for a hostage swap. The violence has slowed ceasefire progress, even as Israeli PM Netanyahu left Washington without a breakthrough. Gaza's civil defense reports at least 22 more civilian deaths from Israeli strikes, worsening fuel shortages at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. As both sides hold firm, international pressure for a truce grows louder. #AbrahamAzulay #TunnelAmbush #IDF #Hamas #GazaWar #BeitHanoun #GivatiBrigade #99thDivision #OperationGideonsChariots #HostageDeal #Netanyahu #Zamir #AlShifa #GazaCrisis #GroundOffensive #IsraelDefense #WarAndPeace #MiddleEast #TruceTalks #CivilianCasualties ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now! [Video]

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis

U.S FIRES BACK At Lavrov’s NATO Collapse Threat | Putin FUMES Over Increased NATO Defense Spending [Video]

U.S FIRES BACK At Lavrov’s NATO Collapse Threat | Putin FUMES Over Increased NATO Defense Spending

The U.S. State Department has responded sharply to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s claim that increased NATO defense spending will lead to the alliance’s collapse. Lavrov criticized the West's growing military budgets, warning it will destabilize Europe. The U.S. rejected the remarks, stating that enhanced European defense spending strengthens regional security and counters Russian aggression. As tensions rise, President Putin accuses NATO of hypocrisy, claiming these moves will ultimately harm the continent. The transatlantic alliance shows no signs of retreating under Russian pressure. #NATO #Russia #USStateDepartment #Lavrov #DefenseSpending #Putin #Geopolitics #NATOAlliance #WesternDefense #MilitaryBudget #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #GlobalSecurity #UkraineWar #NATOStrength #Diplomacy #LavrovSpeech #NATOCollapse #PutinStatement #NATOvsRussia #TransatlanticAlliance #DefenseNews #ForeignPolicy #NATOExpansion #ColdWarTensions #EasternEurope #SecurityPolicy #WashingtonMoscow #NATOFunding #PutinVsNATO Also Read This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.125~HT.408~

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across!

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites. This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.

Israel STORMS Home, ARRESTS Al Mayadeen’s Nasser Al-Laham | DESTROYS Studio Set-up In Raid | VIDEO [Video]

Israel STORMS Home, ARRESTS Al Mayadeen’s Nasser Al-Laham | DESTROYS Studio Set-up In Raid | VIDEO

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TV’s Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air. The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common. #NasserAlLaham #AlMayadeen #IsraelRaid #WestBank #ShinBet #PalestinianJournalist #MediaSuppression #PressFreedom #JournalistArrest #OccupiedPalestine #IsraelPalestine #MediaCrackdown #HumanRightsViolation #MiddleEastNews #GazaNews #IsraelOccupation #ResistanceMedia #FreePress #OferCourt #BreakingNews ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
