VIDEO| Hamas Loses Senior Commander Samer Al-Haj As IDF Hits Deep Into Hezbollah’s Area
An Israeli airstrike near Sidon, Lebanon, killed senior Hamas figure Samer al-Haj, marking an escalation in Israel's operations deep inside Lebanese territory.
This attack follows recent assassinations of high-ranking Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, including Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
These strikes, occurring alongside the Gaza war, have expanded beyond the Israel-Lebanon border area.
Iran and its allies blame Israel for the killings and have promised retaliation, potentially intensifying regional tensions.
Israelis are taking to the streets in massive protests, demanding a hostage release deal with Hamas before it’s too late. From chants in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square to anti-war rallies across the country, families accuse Prime Minister Netanyahu of sacrificing captives as he pushes ahead with a Gaza City offensive. Hamas has already agreed to a phased ceasefire deal, but Netanyahu insists on tougher conditions — leaving the hostages’ fate hanging by a thread. Is this truly the last chance to save lives?

A new poll shows Benjamin Netanyahu’s government teetering on the edge as 62% of Israelis say the leadership has lost the public’s confidence. The results come amid intensifying protests across Tel Aviv, where families of hostages and ordinary citizens are demanding an immediate deal with Hamas to bring their loved ones home. While 26% of Israelis want an urgent partial deal to save hostages in deteriorating condition, 46% back a full ceasefire agreement that would end the war in Gaza altogether. Only 18% believe the fighting should continue, regardless of the hostages’ fate. With public rage spilling into the streets and international pressure mounting, Netanyahu faces the most precarious moment of his political career. The poll suggests a nation deeply divided, yet united in one belief: the prime minister’s time may be running out.

Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemen’s Armed Forces announced they fired a “Palestine-2” hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in Gaza—Israel is now under fire from multiple fronts.

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iran’s regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahu’s operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

The IDF has called up 50,000 reservists to expand operations, sparking fears of mass displacement.

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.

Iran’s top security chief, Ali Larijani, has declared that meaningful talks with the West are only possible if Washington and Europe drop their threats of war. In a fiery interview, Larijani said Iran remains committed to diplomacy, but warned that intimidation, sanctions, and military strikes cannot force Tehran into submission. He slammed recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian sites as violations of international law and accused Europe of acting as Washington’s p@wn by reviving the “snapback” sanctions mechanism. Larijani did not rule out Iran’s possible exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying the pact has “brought us no benefit.” He made clear that strength — not empty promises — is what secures progress for Iran. His remarks underline Tehran’s hardened stance: real negotiations can only begin when the West accepts that war and pressure are doomed to fail.

A senior military advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued a stark warning: there is no ceasefire in place, Tehran and Jerusalem remain in a state of war, and the threat of renewed conflict looms large. Yahya Rahim Safavi, a key military aide, emphasized the urgency of bolstering Iran’s military capabilities, specifically its missile, drone, and cyber capacities, as preparations escalate. In chilling terms, Safavi declared: “We are not in a ceasefire… another war may happen,” adding ominously that such a clash could unfold "at any time." His message leaves little room for optimism.

The three European powers, collectively known as the E3, accuse Iran of accelerating uranium enrichment and blocking key inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The warning comes amid stalled negotiations and mounting fears that Iran is edging closer to weapons-grade capabilities.

Iran has issued a sharp “final” warning to block a U.S.-backed trade corridor through southern Armenia, part of a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan announced by Donald Trump. The route would give Azerbaijan direct access to Nakhchivan and Turkey, boosting regional trade while granting the U.S. exclusive development rights. Tehran has flexed military muscle to signal opposition, calling the plan a “graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries.” While analysts doubt Iran’s ability to militarily stop the corridor, tensions are rising across the Caucasus.
