Baghdad drone strike| U.S. strike kills militia leader blamed for Iraq attacks | Know more| Oneindia
The U.S. military has carried out a strike in Baghdad against an Iraqi militia leader it blames for attacks against U.S. forces in the country, killing him and another person, a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.
The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the strike hit a vehicle in Baghdad.
It targeted a leader of Harakat al Nujaba, the official said, without naming the person.
The U.S. military has come under attack at least 100 times in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, usually with a mix of rockets and one-way attack drones.
The United States has 2,500 troops deployed in Iraq and 900 in neighbouring Syria in a bid to prevent a resurgence of Islamic State militants.

Israel has confirmed launching powerful airstrikes near the presidential palace in Damascus, targeting areas linked to Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the Islamist leader who seized power in Syria after Bashar al-Assadās ouster. The strikes, which rattled the Syrian capital, come amid escalating sectarian clashes involving the Druze minority, following inflammatory religious remarks that sparked deadly unrest. Israel cited direct threats to the Druze community as the reason for the operation, warning Syria against sending forces south of Damascus

A sharp rift has emerged between the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over war objectives in Gaza. The IDF declared the rescue of 59 remaining hostages held by Hamas as its "supreme mission," placing it above the defeat of the terror group. This directly contradicts Netanyahuās recent statement that military victory over Hamas is the top priority. The contrast reflects growing tension over strategy, as public pressure mounts to prioritize hostage recovery. Both sides claim to pursue both goals, but their order of priority exposes a fundamental disagreement.

In a chilling video released by Hamasā Al-Qassam Brigades, a high-level ambush unfolds in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah, Gaza. Israeli soldiers operating in the area are seen walking straight into a deadly trap as resistance fighters detonate explosive devices under military vehicles and open fire in close-quarters combat. The operation, involving multiple explosive devices including Shawaz charges, results in the destruction of several IDF vehicles, including Hummers and a military truck, with confirmed casualties. Hamas claims their fighters moved in for a direct confrontation after the blast, killing and injuring more soldiers in brutal urban warfare. This ambush is part of a string of high-impact attacks being carried out by Palestinian resistance forces against the Israeli military in southern Gaza.

In a stunning twist, reports suggest Rep. Mike Waltz was ousted after allegedly pressuring former President Donald Trump to take military action against Iran. Sources reveal Waltz's "intense coordination" with Israeli PM Netanyahu and his push for aggressive U.S. involvement in the Middle East may have clashed with Trumpās evolving foreign policy stance.

Israel faced a dramatic escalation as Yemenās Houthi rebels launched four ballistic missile attacks within 24 hours, targeting key military sites and population centers. Among the weapons used was the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile, which reportedly struck near Tel Aviv, triggering widespread air raid sirens and panic. Though the Israeli Defense Forces claim successful interceptions, missile debris injured civilians and landed as far as a kindergarten. The Iron Dome's effectiveness is now under scrutiny as the Houthis vow more strikes and warn Muslim nations against remaining silent. Despite U.S. airstrikes in Yemen killing hundreds of militants, the Houthi barrage continues, threatening to widen the regional conflict.
