Edan Alexander REJECTS meeting Israeli PM | Why won’t released Israeli-American hostage meet Bibi?

Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region.

Houthis Backstab Trump? US MQ-9 Reaper Blown Out of Sky Days After Ceasefire Deal | SHOCKING Video

Tensions reignite in Yemen as Houthi rebels reportedly shoot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over Saada Governorate—just days after Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal. Dramatic footage circulating on social media appears to show the drone being hit midair and crashing in flames. The strike raises serious questions about the durability of the U.S.-Houthi truce, which Trump claimed was brokered with help from Oman to end attacks on vital Middle East shipping lanes. U.S. officials confirm multiple drone losses in recent months, and this latest downing suggests the Houthis may no longer be holding back. #Houthis #YemenConflict #MQ9Reaper #USDroneShotDown #HouthiRebels #ReaperDroneDown #HouthiStrike #DroneWarfare #YemenNews #HouthiVsUS #USMilitary #MiddleEastTensions #ReaperDown #DroneCrash #HouthiAttack

Al-Quds Hit Senior Israeli Officials in Shujaiya Ambush: Operation 'Gideon’s Chariots' Under Fire

In a bold operation, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a fierce ambush on Israeli troops in Gaza’s Shujaiya neighborhood, wounding senior officers. The attack is part of a growing resistance against Israel's ongoing "Gideon’s Chariots" operation. As tensions escalate, the operation faces widespread criticism for its lack of legitimacy and clarity in military objectives. Meanwhile, Palestinian factions continue to make significant gains, with the Israeli military suffering casualties and even losing control of valuable intelligence assets. #Gaza #Shujaiya #OperationGideonsChariots #AlQudsBrigades #IsraeliMilitary #PalestinianResistance #IsraelUnderFire #GazaConflict #MiddleEastConflict #Hamas #IDF #Palestine #IsraeliOfficers #UrbanCombat #ResistanceStrikesBack
