Al-Qassam Brigades have reportedly destroyed one of Israel's most advanced and expensive tanks — the Merkava-4, worth $10 million — in a major battlefield blow.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), known for their technological superiority, suffered the loss as the tank’s “invincible” armor was penetrated during intense ground clashes.
The attack raises questions about the vulnerability of even Israel’s most elite military hardware amid escalating hostilities.
Al-Qassam Brigades have dealt a major blow to the Israeli Defense Forces, destroying three of Israel’s prized Merkava tanks in southern Gaza’s al-Zaytoun district. Footage shows Hamas fighters using RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and ambush tactics to cripp# IDF armor and trap soldiers. The strike raises doubts about the survivability of the Merkava, long seen as Israel’s battlefield pride. Hamas hails the operation as both a military and propaganda victory, deepening the intensity of the Gaza frontline battles.

Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet traffic across Asia and the Middle East, with speculation swirling over whether Yemen’s Houthis or accidental ship anchors are responsible. Microsoft confirmed increased latency for some Azure users but said global traffic rerouting limited the wider impact. While Houthis, who have attacked over 100 ships since late 2023, deny targeting cables, experts warn intentional strikes could escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader international crisis. Investigations remain ongoing.

A dramatic twist in the Gaza war has rocked Israel’s military establishment. Reports claim Hamas fighters have captured and destroyed hundreds of Israel’s vaunted Merkava tanks, delivering a stunning blow to the backbone of the IDF’s ground forces. In response, Israel’s Defense Ministry has rushed to approve a massive $1.5 billion program to accelerate production of Merkava tanks, Namer armored personnel carriers, and Eitan APCs to replenish battlefield losses. Verified footage shows Hamas deploying RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and tunnel ambushes that turned the Gaza battlefield into a graveyard of armor. For Hamas, destroying a Merkava is seen as a symbolic and strategic victory, undermining the image of Israeli military superiority. The scale of losses has raised serious questions about Israel’s readiness, sparking urgent debate on the future of ground warfare. Watch how this battle is reshaping the entire conflict.

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.
