Al-Quds Fighters Unleash 'Thaqib' Bombs; 3 IDF Troops Ambushed and Killed in Deadly Tank Explosion

Fierce escalation on the Gaza front. Al-Quds Brigade fighters have reportedly used 'Thaqib' bombs—a new, high-impact explosive device—in a deadly ambush targeting an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tank unit. The explosion resulted in the deaths of 3 IDF soldiers, with footage showing a direct hit on an armored vehicle. This marks one of the most lethal strikes by Palestinian factions in recent weeks and could signal a shift in battlefield tactics. The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have claimed responsibility, vowing further retaliation. Meanwhile, Israeli forces are expected to respond with intensified airstrikes. #IDFSoldiersKilled #HamasVsIDF #GazaWar #IsraeliSoldiersKilled #HamasAttack #IDFCasualties #HamasCapturesSoldiers #IDFVsHamas #HamasHostages #GazaConflict #HamasMissileAttack #IsraelGazaWar #IDFSoldierKilled #HamasAbduction #IsraelUnderAttack ~PR.152~GR.122~HT.96~ED.346~

Watch Gunfire at Aid Centers: IDF Accused of Shooting Starving Palestinians Near GHF Sites in Gaza

Shocking footage reveals Palestinians dodging bullets near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid centers — sites accused of turning into deadly traps amid escalating violence. Since May 2025, nearly 800 civilians have died around these US-Israeli backed aid distribution points, many caught in crossfire near Israeli Defense Forces positions. The UN warns that this aid model violates international norms and puts starving Palestinians at extreme risk. Eyewitnesses report soldiers firing without warning, turning humanitarian aid into a weapon. Critics call for urgent reform as Gaza’s blockade and failed aid system push millions to the brink of starvation. Is aid saving lives, or fueling a humanitarian crisis? Watch and decide. #GazaAidCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaUnderAttack #AidUnderFire #Palestine #Israel #UNWarning #WarCrimes #HumanRights #ConflictZone #StopTheBlockade #SaveGaza #GazaStrip #MiddleEastConflict #FreedomForGaza ~PR.274~ED.103~GR.122~HT.318~

Leaked CCTV: IDF Soldiers Caught Filming & Flaunting Destruction of Rafah Homes — 200,000 Displaced [Video]

Leaked CCTV: IDF Soldiers Caught Filming & Flaunting Destruction of Rafah Homes — 200,000 Displaced

Leaked CCTV footage from Rafah reveals Israeli soldiers allegedly filming themselves as they destroy an entire residential block in southern Gaza. Once home to nearly 200,000 Palestinians, the area has now been turned to rubble, as families are either killed, displaced, or starving under siege. This disturbing visual raises urgent questions: Is this documentation or display? Defense or destruction? As Gaza reels from bombings, starvation, and mass displacement, critics — including Israeli opposition leaders — warn that what’s unfolding could amount to war crimes. #Gaza #Rafah #CCTVFootage #IsraelGazaWar #Palestine #WarCrimes #GazaUnderAttack #FreePalestine #HumanRights #UN #MiddleEastCrisis #IDF #RafahBombing #WarOnGaza Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across! [Video]

Houthi Missile Attack on Israeli Cities Caught on Camera—IDF Intercepts in Air | Sirens Wail Across!

On July 10, 2025, a missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. Sirens blared across Jerusalem, central Israel, and parts of the West Bank as civilians rushed to shelters in panic. The IDF confirmed the interception and has since carried out retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi launch sites. This strike is part of a growing wave of regional escalation, with missile threats now emerging from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Houthis claim the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where over 57,000 have reportedly been killed since the Israeli military campaign began in late 2023. With tensions mounting, the region stands on the brink of a broader war.

Israel STORMS Home, ARRESTS Al Mayadeen’s Nasser Al-Laham | DESTROYS Studio Set-up In Raid | VIDEO [Video]

Israel STORMS Home, ARRESTS Al Mayadeen’s Nasser Al-Laham | DESTROYS Studio Set-up In Raid | VIDEO

Nasser Al-Laham, the prominent head of Al Mayadeen TV’s Palestine bureau, has been arrested by Israeli forces following a violent pre-dawn raid on his home. According to reports by Al Mayadeen, Shin Bet officers stormed the house and destroyed belongings while searching for the studio from where Al-Laham appeared on-air. The arrest comes amid increasing crackdowns on pro-resistance media voices in the occupied territories. Al-Laham was transferred to the notorious Ofer Court in the occupied West Bank, where his detention was extended until Thursday. The operation has triggered outrage among journalists, human rights groups, and regional media networks, who condemn the targeting of press freedom. Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based channel often critical of Israel and aligned with the Resistance Axis, has described the arrest as an attempt to silence Palestinian voices. This development adds further tension to an already volatile West Bank, where media suppression is becoming increasingly common. #NasserAlLaham #AlMayadeen #IsraelRaid #WestBank #ShinBet #PalestinianJournalist #MediaSuppression #PressFreedom #JournalistArrest #OccupiedPalestine #IsraelPalestine #MediaCrackdown #HumanRightsViolation #MiddleEastNews #GazaNews #IsraelOccupation #ResistanceMedia #FreePress #OferCourt #BreakingNews ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
