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-Assad’s 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 Netanyahu’s 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 Hamas’ 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.

Violence broke out in the southern Damascus suburb of Jaramana after a controversial audio clip allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad went viral. The clip, falsely attributed to Druze cleric Marwan Kiwan, triggered deadly clashes between Druze gunmen and government forces. Kiwan denied the message, and Syria’s Interior Ministry confirmed he wasn’t responsible. At least 10 people were killed, with activist groups reporting higher tolls. As religious leaders call for calm and Israel monitors the situation, tensions remain high in one of Syria's most volatile suburbs.

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi declared the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Arabian Sea closed to Israeli and American ships. In a fiery speech, he said nine attacks targeted US naval assets in response to the Gaza war. Al-Houthi condemned Israel’s siege of Gaza, calling it genocide, and criticized Arab governments and media for their silence. He highlighted US-led attacks on Yemen, Israeli aggression in Syria and Lebanon, and urged greater Palestinian unity. The death toll in Gaza from the ongoing assault has crossed 51,000, with over 117,000 injured.

Israel has killed Hussein Ali Nasr, the Deputy Chief of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, in a precision drone strike in southern Lebanon. The attack targeted a vehicle in Kaouthariyet El-Saiyad and comes amid mounting tensions and over 2,700 reported Israeli ceasefire violations since November 27. Israel claims Nasr was a key figure in smuggling weapons from Iran via Syria and Iraq. The strike was followed by additional attacks on Houla, Iqlim al-Tuffah, and Arnoun, devastating civilian areas and raising fears of full-scale conflict.
