Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) militants have declared their intentions to expand their influence across the Middle East, following their capture of Damascus in December 2024.
In a video posted by Althawra Network, they stated that their conquest of Damascus was only the beginning, and that they aim to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the Prophetâs Mosque in Medina, and the Kaaba in Mecca.
They called for patience from the people of Gaza, promising to reach Jerusalem soon.
HTS's ambitions highlight their growing power in the region, alongside their Salafi ideologies and controversial stance on governance.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syriaâs new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery. The Syrian foreign ministry hailed the meeting as "historic," though the normalization with Israel was not addressed. Crowds in Damascus celebrated the U.S. decision, though the future remains uncertain.

Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site. The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures. Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances.

President Donald Trump has hinted at easing long-standing U.S. sanctions on Syria, citing new overtures from Syrian leader Sharaa and a potential âfresh start.â Sharaa is offering U.S. companies access to valuable minerals in a Ukraine-style deal and has even floated the idea of a Trump Tower in Damascus. Talks are reportedly being brokered by intermediaries from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while Trumpâs advisers remain divided. A possible meeting with Sharaa during Trumpâs Mideast trip remains unconfirmed as regional power dynamics shift and economic opportunities open.

Houthis launched a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Israelâs Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. The powerful strikeâpart of what the Houthis call their "aerial blockade" of Israelâforced all flight operations to halt and sent terrified passengers scrambling for shelter on the tarmac. Air raid sirens blared across Tel Aviv, al-Quds (Jerusalem), and Netanya as Israeli defense systems scrambled to intercept the missile. While Israel claims the projectile was intercepted, the Houthis insist the mission was a success. The strike occurred just as U.S. President Donald Trump was delivering a speech in Saudi Arabia.

In a bold operation, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a fierce ambush on Israeli troops in Gazaâs Shujaiya neighborhood, wounding senior officers. The attack is part of a growing resistance against Israel's ongoing "Gideonâs Chariots" operation. As tensions escalate, the operation faces widespread criticism for its lack of legitimacy and clarity in military objectives. Meanwhile, Palestinian factions continue to make significant gains, with the Israeli military suffering casualties and even losing control of valuable intelligence assets.

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation âGideonâs Chariots,â launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gazaâs last northern hospitalsâlike the Indonesian facilityânow shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation wonât bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.

Israeli right-wing figure Moshe Feiglin is under fire after declaring âevery baby in Gaza is an enemy,â calling for full colonization of the region and the removal of all children to win the war. His remarks came as former IDF General Yair Golan accused Israel of committing atrocities and warned of becoming a global pariah. Golan's comments were denounced by PM Netanyahu as âblood libel.â The escalating rhetoric reflects a growing ideological divide in Israel as tensions over the Gaza war intensify.

Hamas welcomed a rare joint statement from the UK, France, and Canada that sharply criticized Israelâs Gaza offensive and threatened concrete action if hostilities continue. The three nations demanded an immediate end to Israel's Operation Gideonâs Chariots and full restoration of humanitarian aid. Hamas hailed the move as a âprincipled stanceâ against what it called genocide and forced displacement in Gaza. The Westâs warning could reshape international pressure on Israel, with potential sanctions and trade reviews looming. Netanyahu, however, dismissed the declaration as a betrayal of Israelâs fight against barbarism.
