Diplomats try to prevent regional war after rocket strike from Lebanon on Israel kills 12 youngsters
Israel said its intelligence showed that the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which like Hamas is backed by Israel’s archenemy Iran, was responsible for the strike and promised a retaliation.
Why is Slovenia the only EU country to ban arms trade with Israel?
The Slovenian government has banned the export, import and transit of military equipment to and from Israel. Other European countries have reduced but not stopped their arms sales.

Hezbollah’s 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 “flagrant violation” 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?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israel’s prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat.
Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veterans’ deaths remain uncounted. With Israel’s military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategic—but deeply human.

Hours after Iranian FM Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s refusal to abandon nuclear enrichment, the IDF issued a sharp warning, vowing the campaign against Iran “isn’t over.” 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 Iran’s defiance and Israel’s 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 “silent revenge” 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 Assad’s 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.

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Tensions in Gaza reached a breaking point after an Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the Al-Maqousi Towers in northwest Gaza, leaving multiple civilians dead and many others severely injured. As sirens echoed through the area, chaos and devastation unfolded yet again. The strike comes amid rising pressure on Israeli leadership from within its own ranks.
Over 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former heads of intelligence, have written a joint letter to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to intervene and pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. The officials claim Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat and that continued warfare is only prolonging suffering. Despite indirect ceasefire talks stalling, Netanyahu is reportedly pushing to intensify military operations. The internal dissent reflects a growing concern that Netanyahu’s decisions are politically motivated, risking further bloodshed and regional instability.

The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.
