Israel’s DEADLIEST Strikes In Yemen: 30+ strikes RAIN HELL On Houthis |Fuel Depots, Power Plants HIT

The Israeli Air Force launched massive daylight airstrikes on Yemen’s capital Sanaa, striking multiple Houthi targets, including areas near the presidential palace, power plants, and military fuel depots. More than 30 air raids sent huge clouds of smoke over the city, causing widespread power outages and shaking Houthi strongholds. The strikes followed Houthi drone and missile attacks on Israel, with officials claiming one carried a rare cluster bomb warhead. Casualties remain unclear, but social media visuals confirm severe destruction across Sanaa. #Israel #Houthis #Sanaa #Airstrikes #YemenWar #MiddleEastConflict #IsraeliAirForce #BreakingNews #WarUpdates #IDF #PresidentialPalace #PowerPlantStrike #BlackSmoke #YemenCrisis #MilitaryConflict #TerrorResponse #DroneAttack #BallisticMissile #ClusterBomb #DaylightStrike #SanaaUnderAttack #RegionalTensions #MiddleEastNews #HouthisVsIsrael #WarNews #DefenseNews #GlobalConflict #AirWar #CrisisInYemen #IsraelStrikes Also Read Israeli Military Conducts Airstrikes On Yemen's Capital Sanaa Following Houthi Missile Launches :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-on-yemens-capital-sanaa-011-7839689.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Kills 5 Al Jazeera Journalist In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-kills-5-al-jazeera-journalist-in-gaza-011-7826025.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Lists 5 Principles To End Gaza War, Slams ‘Global Campaign Of Lies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-gaza-liberation-hamas-prime-minister-netanyahu-011-7825831.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation [Video]

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.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 China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Hamas Rips into ‘MAD’ Netanyahu over ‘DELIRIOUS’ plans of ‘Greater Israel’ | Vows REVENGE for Gaza

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel. #Hamas #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #Palestine #Israel #Gaza #WestBank #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #Iran #ArabWorld #Resistance #OccupiedTerritories #Annexation #RegionalTensions #PalestinianRights #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEastNews #Jerusalem #GazaWar #PalestinianResistance #SettlerViolence #InternationalRelations #IranIsrael #RegionalStability Also Read Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825985.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825981.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves [Video]

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~

Ben Gvir DEFIES Protocols, Prays on Temple Mount | Arab States FUME, Warn of ‘Dangerous Escalation’

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.” #BenGvir #TempleMount #TishaBAv #AlAqsa #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEast #Jerusalem #StatusQuo #HolySite #ReligiousTensions #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #Netanyahu #PA #SaudiArabia #Jordan #AlAqsaMosque #DomeOfTheRock #JewishPrayer #BreakingNews #FarRightPolitics #InternationalCondemnation #AFPFootage #TempleMountVisit #ReligiousFlashpoint #MiddleEastNews #JerusalemConflict #HolySiteTensions #WorshipRights #GeoPolitics #ConflictZone ~ED.103~HT.408~

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video [Video]

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.” Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis. #FranceAidGaza #GazaFamine #HumanitarianAirdrop #JeanNoelBarrot #Macron #OpenAidCorridors #WHOReport #ChildMalnutrition #GazaCrisis #IsraelAidRestrictions #HumanitarianAccess #JordanUAEFlights #GermanyAid #UKAidDrop #FamineInGaza #StarvationDeaths #CeasefirePressure #GlobalAidPush #LandRoutesNeeded #UrgentRelief ~GR.124~HT.408~

Turkey On HIGH Alert: Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border

Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson. #SyriaWildfires #TurkeyBorder #SyriaCrisis #KassabCrossing #Hatay #MiddleEastNews #RedAlert #FireCrisis #DroughtDisaster #ClimateEmergency #Attera #Zahia #CivilDefense #WildfireAlert #TurkeySyria #RegionalTension #ForestFires #GreenBeltLoss #EnvironmentalDisaster #Firefighters #BorderCrisis #BreakingNews #SyriaTurmoil #ClimateImpact #Deforestation #IllegalLogging #Heatwave #WildfireSpread #EasternMediterranean #CrossBorderThreat Also Read Turkey Arrests LeMan Magazine Editor-in-Chief Over Prophet Mohammed Cartoon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-arrests-leman-magazine-editor-in-chief-over-prophet-mohammed-cartoon-7799895.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Junks Claims Of Its Involvement In Maintenance Of Crashed Ahmedabad-London Air India Dreamliner :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-junks-claims-of-its-involvement-in-maintenance-of-crashed-ahmedabad-london-air-india-dreamlin-4182063.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~

‘Israel Is Committing…’ Houthis Denounce Israel’s ‘Expansion’ Plan|Warns Muslim Nations Of ‘Zionism’

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted. #Israel #Gaza #Houthi #GreaterIsrael #Netanyahu #Ansarullah #Palestine #WestBank #AlAqsa #Hezbollah #Hamas #MiddleEast #Zionism #USPolitics #GazaWar #MuslimWorld #RedSea #Egypt #SaudiArabia #Resistance ~ED.102~HT.408~

BRICS vs The West: Lavrov Calls Out US 'Sanction Hypocrisy' |India & China Push For MULTIPOLAR World

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South. #BRICS #Lavrov #Jaishankar #GlobalSouth #Russia #India #China #Sanctions #WesternHypocrisy #MultipolarWorld #USSanctions #Geopolitics #WorldOrder #EconomicColonialism #BRICSExpansion #GlobalPolitics #AltFinance #NewDevelopmentBank #BRICSVsG7 #AntiDollar #GlobalShift #BRICSPower #EconomicAlliance #StrategicShift #WestVsBRICS #NonAligned #TradeWars #GlobalInfluence #TechSovereignty #GlobalBalance Also Read India at the Heart of BRICS: The Pivot in a Multipolar World :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-at-the-heart-of-brics-the-pivot-in-a-multipolar-world-7825477.html?ref=DMDesc US Senator Warns India, China, Brazil of 'Severe Tariffs' Over Russian Oil Purchases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-senator-warns-india-china-brazil-of-severe-tariffs-over-russian-oil-purchases-011-7807339.html?ref=DMDesc BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has approved Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a major IDF plan to capture Gaza City. Backed by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the operation will call up 60,000 reservists to reinforce troops already deployed. Civilians will be evacuated south before the offensive, aimed at isolating Hamas. Families of hostages expressed concern over risks, while Egypt’s ceasefire proposal was rejected for excluding all hostages. Katz declared Israel is at a decisive stage and vowed no hostage will be left behind. #Israel #Gaza #IDF #OperationGideonsChariots #IsraelKatz #GazaCity #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #Hamas #HostageCrisis #IsraelNews #IDFReserves #MilitaryOperation #Ceasefire #EgyptMediation #WarUpdates #Hostages #IsraelHamasWar #DecisiveStage #GlobalNews ~ED.194~HT.408~

Israel SABOTAGES Ceasefire? Hamas Agrees To Truce But Israel Raises NEW Demands | 'All Hostages..'

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas. #Israel #Gaza #Ceasefire #Hamas #Trump #MiddleEastCrisis #Hostages #TrilateralConflict #WarInGaza #IsraelPalestine #Netanyahu #USIsrael #Qatar #Egypt #Turkey #Mediation #FullDestruction #TrumpStatement #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #CeasefireDeal #IsraelArmy #TruthSocial #HostageCrisis #GlobalConflict #IsraelWar #GazaCeasefire #TrumpWarTalk #Palestine #GazaWar Also Read Israel Kills 5 Al Jazeera Journalist In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-kills-5-al-jazeera-journalist-in-gaza-011-7826025.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825985.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~
