Israel heads to municipal elections amid ongoing war in the north and south | Oneindia News
Israel initiated its municipal elections on Tuesday morning, marking a significant moment amid the ongoing conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah.
Originally slated for October 31, 2023, the election had to be postponed twice due to the escalating hostilities with Hamas in Gaza and the mounting tensions with Hezbollah along the northern border.
This delay marked only the third instance in Israel's history where municipal elections were deferred, following similar postponements during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and the First Lebanon War in 1982.
Hamas has released new hostage videos showing Israeli captive Dalal in a starving state, igniting nationwide shock and international condemnation. Iris Haim, mother of slain hostage Yotam, is urging Israel to surrender to save the remaining captives in Gaza. Her son was tragically killed by IDF fire while escaping Hamas captivity. As protests erupt across Tel Aviv, Israeli PM Netanyahu faces mounting pressure. Meanwhile, Hamas leaders defend the October 7 attack as a âstrategic success,â claiming it led to global recognition of Palestine. French President Macron called the videos âabject cruelty.â

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha BâAv, 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 âhas not changed.â

Ilay David, brother of Israeli hostage Evyatar David, made an emotional plea in Tel Avivâs Hostage Square, urging global leadersâespecially President Trumpâto act swiftly. Speaking to a massive crowd, Ilay described the agony of imagining his brother's suffering in Hamas captivity. A haunting new video shows Evyatar emaciated and fearful.

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a âcomplete betrayalâ of American taxpayers. Referring to Trumpâs 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democratsâand some neocon Republicansâof pushing an âAmerica LASTâ agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently.
Greene even called Israelâs Gaza offensive a âgenocide,â highlighting deep fractures within Trumpâs GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trumpâs support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust.

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base.
The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue.
Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics.

A major tragedy has struck Gujarat after the Gambhira bridge, a crucial link connecting Anand and Vadodara, collapsed on Wednesday. At least three people have lost their lives in the incident, which saw multiple vehicles, including a truck and a tanker, fall into the Mahisagar River below. The shocking collapse has brought traffic to a complete standstill, severing a vital transportation route in the state.
Gujarat Minister Rushikesh Patel officially confirmed the death toll, stating, âThree persons killed in bridge collapse in Vadodara district.â Emergency services and disaster response teams were rushed to the spot to conduct search and rescue operations. This incident raises serious questions about infrastructure safety and maintenance protocols.
The collapse has led to significant disruption for commuters and commercial transport between the key districts of Anand and Vadodara. Authorities are working to clear the debris and assess the full extent of the damage while rerouting traffic to prevent further chaos.
According to Minister Patel, the bridge was originally constructed in 1985. He added that its maintenance was carried out periodically as and when required, a statement that will likely come under intense scrutiny as investigations begin to determine the exact cause of this fatal structural failure. Oneindia News is tracking all the latest developments on this story.

A training aircraft, reported to be a Cessna 337 Skymaster, has crashed in Tatarstan, Russia, narrowly avoiding a direct impact with a private residential house on Monday. This developing story has raised urgent questions as an investigation into the cause of the crash gets underway. So far, authorities have confirmed that there are no casualties reported from the incident.
According to dramatic eyewitness accounts, the plane was seen circling the area for approximately one hour before it ultimately crashed. This unusual behaviour is a key focus for investigators who are now working to determine the cause of the malfunction. While official confirmation of the aircraft model is still pending, multiple reports point to it being a Cessna 337 Skymaster, a light twin-engine plane used for both civilian and military purposes.
The Cessna 337 is known for its distinctive push-pull engine configuration. Worryingly, this model has a documented history of accidents linked to issues such as engine failure, stalls, and fuel mismanagement. Investigators will be meticulously reviewing the aircraft's maintenance records, the pilot's actions in the moments before the incident, and the prevailing weather conditions to piece together what went wrong. Stay tuned to Oneindia News for the latest updates on this breaking story.

A shocking new video has emerged from a deadly mass shooting in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia, USA. The incident, which occurred around 1 a.m. on Monday on South Etting Street, resulted in three people being killed and ten others being wounded. The entire horrifying event was captured on a Ring security camera, and the footage is now a critical piece of evidence in the ongoing police investigation.
Police have described the event as an "indiscriminate gunfight," with gunmen firing randomly into homes and cars, tragically hitting numerous young victims. The deceased have been identified as Zahir Wylie, Jason Reese, and Azir Harris, all under the age of 25. The injured victims range in age from 15 to 24, highlighting the youth of those caught in the crossfire. According to Commissioner Bethel, the shooters showed a shocking disregard for human life, opening fire even with children nearby.
This mass shooting concludes a weekend of extreme violence across Philadelphia, where a total of 46 people were shot in separate incidents. On Saturday, eight people were wounded in a shooting at a bar, and on Sunday, another three were shot during a large gathering in North Philly. This string of events has raised serious concerns about public safety and gun violence in the city. Oneindia News brings you the full report on this developing story from the United States.

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down armsâan assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal.
As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed.

Tel Aviv witnessed emotional and politically charged protests as the war in Gaza and the unresolved hostage crisis continue to haunt Israel. On one end of the cityâs beachside, left-wing Israeli activists staged a solemn vigil, holding up photos of Palestinian children killed during the months-long bombardment of Gaza. The haunting memorial served as a reminder of the devastating toll on civilians.
Simultaneously, hundreds gathered outside the Defence Ministry headquarters demanding swift government action for the release of hostages still held captive by Palestinian militants since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. The dual protests, though emotionally and ideologically different, reflect a nation torn between grief, anger, and the urgent desire for closure. As frustration grows, both against Hamas and within Israeli leadership, the demonstrations reveal deep cracks in public sentiment over how the Gaza war has been waged â and what itâs left behind.

Hezbollahâs new leader Naim Qassem launched a scathing attack on the United States and Israel, declaring that calls for Hezbollah to disarm are part of a Zionist agenda. Accusing the U.S. of acting as a puppet for Israeli interests, Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will not lay down its arms or retreat from southern Lebanon. His defiant remarks come amid growing international and domestic pressure, with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirming his commitment to disarming all non-state actors.

A Hezbollah fighter was killed and four others injured in a deadly Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh province. The IDF targeted a motorcycle in the Bint Jbeil district, reportedly eliminating Haitham Mohammad Idris, a known Hezbollah member. This marks yet another escalation despite a fragile ceasefire in place since November 27.
Earlier the same day, Israeli forces also dropped stun grenades and opened fire in Ramieh village. Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a âflagrant violationâ of the truce, while tensions continue to rise over disputed border areas still occupied by Israeli forces.
As ceasefire violations multiply and regional instability grows, the nearly 14-month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah shows no sign of slowing. Could this be the beginning of another full-scale war?

Hours after Iranian FM Araghchi reaffirmed Iranâs refusal to abandon nuclear enrichment, the IDF issued a sharp warning, vowing the campaign against Iran âisnât over.â Israel signaled continued military readiness, citing multi-front operations against Hezbollah and Iranian targets. Araghchi called the nuclear program a national achievement, while acknowledging U.S. B-2 bomber strikes caused severe damage. Trump shared the remarks as proof of success, threatening further attacks. With Iranâs defiance and Israelâs vow to strike, the Middle East risks sliding toward a wider regional conflict.

Iran is secretly rearming its regional proxies after the ceasefire with Israel, plotting a âsilent revengeâ against the U.S. and its allies. Houthi rebels have resumed Red Sea attacks, Hezbollah is regrouping despite major losses, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are targeting vital oil fields. With Assadâs fall blocking key supply routes, Tehran is racing to rebuild its network of influence. U.S. officials warn Iran could use these proxies as leverage in future nuclear talks, raising fears of a renewed wave of proxy wars across the Middle East.
