Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigade claims responsibility for a deadly Gaza Strip attack, destroying an Israeli IDF tank with a powerful landmine. Reports say all five soldiers inside were killed instantly.

The war reaches new heights, with visuals of the blast yet to emerge as both sides brace for further violence.

Al-Quds Brigades have released new video footage showing mortar strikes on Israeli military positions in Khan Younis. The video captures masked fighters assembling and firing mortars from civilian areas, followed by multiple explosions targeting Israeli supply lines and troop buildings. Black smoke and direct hits are visible in the footage. This comes as Hamas claims 20,000 fighters remain active, with leaders like Abu Obeida warning of more severe retaliation if Israeli raids persist. Despite months of operations, Israel faces ongoing resistance in southern Gaza.

A day after Gaza ceasefire talks failed, Hamas fired a rocket toward Israel’s border community of Kissufim, reigniting tensions. Despite Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, Hamas continues covert operations, killing multiple IDF soldiers through guerrilla tactics and IED blasts. Al-Qassam spokesperson Abu Obeida warned of a prolonged attrition war if Israeli tanks push deeper into Gaza. The latest attack underscores Israel’s struggle to fully contain Hamas, signaling a new phase of resistance from Gaza’s militants.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict.

The Syrian government has begun evacuating over 1,500 Bedouins from war-torn Sweida following deadly clashes with Druze militias that killed 260 in a week. Red Crescent and security forces are Escorting evacuees to Daraa as ceasefire talks continue. The unrest has displaced over 128,000 people, with Syria’s interior minister calling for urgent calm. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have hit Syrian military sites in Damascus and Sweida, citing protection of the Druze minority, further intensifying the fragile and volatile situation.

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv?

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syria’s Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian army’s withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actors—including Israel—shaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence.

Syria Clash: Intense fighting has reignited in and around Suwayda between Druze militias and Bedouin tribal fighters, despite a declared ceasefire. An estimated 50,000–70,000 fighters from the Arab Tribal Army have mobilized against the Druze, triggering mass displacement, civilian casualties, and widespread destruction — including regime-affiliated groups burning Druze homes in Mazraa village. Bedouin commanders have rejected the ceasefire, and reinforcements from Idlib — a stronghold of HTS — are reportedly joining the assault. Amid this chaos, HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani has fled Damascus.
