20,000 Hamas Fighters Call for West Bank Uprising | Israel Braces For Two Front War Over Settlers

Hamas has called on Palestinians in the West Bank to rise up following deadly Israeli settler attacks, including the killing of Palestinian-American Saif Al-Din Muslat. The group blames Israel’s far-right government for escalating settler violence and is urging mass mobilization across all governorates. With over 998 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since the Gaza war began, tensions are boiling. Hamas warns that “his blood will not be in vain,” hinting at a wider armed uprising.

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer' [Video]

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Houthis Hypersonic Hellfire: Tel-Aviv Ben Gurion Airport Hit | Chaos & Panic Grips Tel-Aviv | VIDEO

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps. #YemenMissileStrike #BenGurionHit #Palestine2Missile #IsraelUnderAttack #GazaWar #HypersonicMissile #YemenIsraelConflict #EilatAttack #AshdodPortStrike #DroneWarfare #YahyaSaree #MiddleEastTensions #BRICSResponse #TelAvivUnderFire #AirstrikeOnIsrael #GazaBlockade #IsraelYemenTensions #RedSeaCrisis #ResistanceFront #MissileWarning ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

‘BARBARIC!’ | ‘Israel dragging us into DISASTER’ | Erdogan BLASTS at Netanyahu

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran as a reckless provocation that violates international law and risks igniting a global catastrophe. Calling it a “strategy of bloodshed,” Erdoğan warned Netanyahu’s government is sabotaging diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear program to sustain regional chaos. Turkey’s foreign ministry echoed the alarm, demanding urgent global action to prevent further escalation. As Ankara joins the growing chorus of condemnation, fears rise over a widening West Asia conflict and potential global fallout. #Erdogan #IsraelIranConflict #TurkeyCondemnsIsrael #InternationalLaw #MiddleEastTensions #WestAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #TehranStrikes #NuclearCrisis #TurkeyStatement #ErdoğanWarning #NetanyahuGovt #RegionalStability #MiddleEastDiplomacy #StrategicProvocation #StopTheWar #IsraelAirstrikes #IranNuclearTalks #PeaceUnderThreat #TurkeyVsIsrael #WarWarning #MiddleEastWar #WestAsiaEscalation #UNAlert #GlobalCondemnation #AnkaraResponse #MilitaryEscalation #IsraelIranTensions #MiddleEastFlashpoint #RecklessAttack ~HT.410~GR.124~

Iran's Biggest Attack On Israel After IDF Launches Op Rising LION | 100+ Drones Hit Iron Dome

Iran has launched over 100 Shaheed-136 kamikaze drones toward Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites in Tehran. Several UAVs have been spotted over Iraq as Israeli defense systems brace for impact. Supreme Leader Khamenei vows “painful revenge,” while Israel declares a nationwide emergency. Jordan shuts its airspace amid escalating fears of regional war. With U.S. embassies issuing shelter orders and Trump denying involvement, concerns of a full-scale conflict in West Asia—and possibly World War III—are mounting. #IranIsraelConflict #ShaheedDrones #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelUnderAttack #IranStrikesBack #UAVSwarm #WWIIIThreat #WestAsiaCrisis #TehranStrikes #IsraeliDefense #Khamenei #IsraelEmergency #JordanAirspace #USDenial #TrumpNews #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #DroneAttack #IranianRetaliation #IsraelIranWar #MiddleEastUpdate #WarWatch #WorldAtEdge #MilitaryCrisis #AirstrikeResponse #Geopolitics #IranNews #IDF #MossadAlert #NuclearStrikeTensions Also Read Avoid Unnecessary Movements: India's Advisory For Nationals As Israel Strikes Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/avoid-unnecessary-movements-indias-advisory-for-nationals-as-israel-strikes-iran-4180249.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Attacks Iran's Nuclear, Missile Sites With Explosions Booming Across Tehran; Hossein Salami Killed :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-attacks-irans-capital-with-explosions-booming-across-tehran-hossein-salami-killed-4180211.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Hossein Salami, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Chief, Killed By Israel? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/who-is-hossein-salami-iran-revolutionary-guards-chief-killed-by-israel-4180209.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.125~

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

“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. Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model. His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia. Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness. #Trump #Drones #DefenseSpending #IranDrones #MilitaryTech #WestAsia #USDefense #DroneWarfare #TrumpSpeech #Qatar #UAE #IranTech #MilitaryNews #BreakingNews #TrumpInQatar #USPolitics #DefenseBudget #WeaponSystems #TechGap #GlobalSecurity #ArmsRace #DroneStrike #MilitaryCost #TrumpQuotes #IranVsUS #USMilitary #DefenseIndustry #WarTech #TrumpVsDefense #TrumpTour #MiddleEastPolitics Also Read What is Al-Ayyala, The Hair-Flipping Ritual Performed By Women To Welcome Trump In UAE? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/what-is-al-ayyala-the-hair-flipping-ritual-performed-by-women-to-welcome-trump-in-uae-4155333.html?ref=DMDesc Days After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Signed Deal With Trump Family-Backed Cryptocurrency Venture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/days-after-pahalgam-attack-pakistan-signed-deal-with-trump-family-backed-cryptocurrency-venture-4154893.html?ref=DMDesc Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~
