Israel has launched one of its most daring operations inside Syria, sparking fears of an all-out war. A day after Israeli drone strikes killed six Syrian soldiers, IDF troops, fighter jets, and helicopters stormed a Syrian military site near Damascus in a rare ground raid. The two-hour mission saw Israeli forces land on a strategic hilltop before withdrawing. Syria accused Israel of violating international law, while Israel insists it was targeting Hezbollah-linked bases, raising tensions across the region.

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.

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.

New satellite images reveal Israel is rapidly expanding construction at the Dimona nuclear facility, raising fears of a major nuclear escalation in West Asia. Experts warn the site could be linked to nuclear weapons development, with Israel already believed to hold 200–400 warheads. Iran has slammed the U.S. and EU for ignoring Israel’s nuclear ambitions while pressuring Tehran’s peaceful program.

U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of ending the Israel–Gaza war, revealing that Washington is in “very deep” negotiations with Hamas over hostages. Trump warned the situation could turn “tough” and “nasty” if hostages remain in captivity, urging Hamas to release them immediately. The conflict, sparked by Hamas’ October 2023 attack that left 1,200 dead and more than 250 hostages taken, has since claimed tens of thousands of lives in Gaza. With divisions inside Israel’s leadership, Trump insists progress hinges on a breakthrough hostage deal.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanon’s streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the government’s US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration — dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists — sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

Yemen’s Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Aviv’s IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.
