Al-Qassam's Abu Obeida vows continued ARMED Struggle to end Genocidal war by ZIONIST Israeli Regime

Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida has issued a chilling warning to Israel, vowing intensified guerrilla warfare in Gaza. The Al-Qassam Brigades claim near-successful attempts to capture IDF soldiers and report hundreds of Israeli casualties. Hamas threatens to halt partial deals if indirect talks fail and reiterates its hostage exchange offer for a full ceasefire. Accusing Israel of war crimes and psychological warfare, the group condemned Arab leaders for silence and praised Yemen’s Ansarallah for striking Israeli-linked targets in solidarity with Gaza. #Hamas #AbuObeida #GazaWar #AlQassamBrigades #IsraelHamasConflict #GuerrillaWarfare #IDF #WarInGaza #CeasefireDemand #HostageCrisis #MiddleEastWar #ResistanceFighters #BeitHanoun #Rafah #Ansarallah #ArabSilence #WarCrimes #PsychologicalWarfare #IsraelPalestine #GazaResistance #GazaUnderSiege #SolidarityWithGaza #HamasStatement #IndirectTalks #GlobalSupport #GrassrootsSolidarity #IDFLosses #IsraelPalestineWar #GazaFighters #IsraelGazaWar Also Read 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 Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu [Video]

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest. The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict. #TrumpNetanyahuCall #GazaChurchStrike #HolyFamilyChurch #IsraelMistake #UScallsForJustice #CollateralDamage #GazaConflict #CatholicChurchGaza #TrumpRebukesIsrael #NetanyahuRegrets #InternationalCondemnation #VaticanResponse #ProtectCivilians #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastDiplomacy #WarEthics #ReligiousSiteSafety #GazaWar #TrumpDiplomacy #GlobalOutrage ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained [Video]

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border. At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief. While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles. Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region. #IsraelSyriaTalks #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Israel #Syria #DonaldTrump #Iran #OneindiaNews #AhmedAlShara,

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

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.
