The U.S. State Department has imposed visa sanctions on senior officials from the Palestinian Authority and the PLO, citing violations of UN resolutions and continued support for terrorism. This comes as the U.K. and France announce plans to recognize Palestinian statehood at the upcoming UN General Assembly, escalating tensions across the Middle East. Israeli leadership has condemned these moves, calling them dangerous to peace and regional stability. Here's a breakdown of the diplomatic storm now brewing.

Yemenâs Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Avivâs missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets â including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemenâs relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear â Gazaâs resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast. Is a broader conflict in the Middle East now inevitable?

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?

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 Israelâs 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 veteransâ deaths remain uncounted. With Israelâs military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategicâbut deeply human.

IDF Bombs Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon in a high-risk, precision airstrike that rocked the Bekaa Valley. The daring raid targeted Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force camps, with explosions lighting up the night sky and shaking the region. This marks a major escalation as IDF bombs Hezbollah strongholds in deep-Lebanon territory, far beyond previous red lines. The Israeli military confirmed that the operation was aimed at dismantling Hezbollahâs command centers and advanced weapons depots.

Thousands gathered in Tel Avivâs Habima Square to protest Israelâs war in Gaza, with former IDF soldiers and Palestinian activists demanding an immediate end to the conflict. Protestors urged mass civil disobedience and called on Israeli soldiers to refuse military service. Actor Yossi Zabari shocked many by saying âthe word genocide frightens Israelis more than the act itself.â Peace organizers plan to set up a âstruggle tentâ in Tel Aviv as calls grow louder for an end to what they call a âgovernment of death.â

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz released shocking footage of Hamas fighters surrendering in Gazaâs Beit Hanoun. According to the IDF, three Hamas operatives emerged undressed from a tunnel after one of their comrades was killed. They reportedly led Israeli troops to a weapons depot. The IDF also uncovered long-term underground supplies. The video, widely circulated, marks a symbolic blow to Hamasâs image. Meanwhile, Hamasâs spokesman Abu Obaida warns that over 20,000 fighters remain active and promises more losses for Israeli forces in the ongoing war.
