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.
Yemen's Houthi rebels (Ansarallah) have claimed responsibility for launching another significant missile attack toward southern Israel, triggering massive panic and sounding major air-raid sirens across the region. The group stated the attack was carried out in "solidarity with the people of Gaza." The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the launch and announced that its air defence systems were activated, successfully intercepting the inbound missile before it could hit its target.
This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have vowed that such attacks will continue until Israel ends its military offensive and blockade of the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Ansarallah has fired over 50 missiles and drones toward Israel since the conflict resumed, frequently targeting critical infrastructure like the Ben Gurion Airport in previous attempts. This raises the critical question: Is Israel now fighting a three-front war, facing threats from Gaza, the north, and now consistently from Yemen?
The attack comes amidst a volatile situation in the wider region. Israel has recently intensified its own strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to their persistent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. In a major act of retaliation, the Houthis recently sank the UK-registered Magic Sea ship, a move that dealt a significant blow to global trade and maritime security. This video breaks down the latest missile attack, the successful Israeli interception, and the escalating cycle of violence that is pushing the Middle East to the brink.

Iran's General Gheybpavar Dies Mysteriously, Israel's Hit On 20 Top Commanders Exposed | World News
The Middle East is on high alert as the shadow war between Iran and Israel erupts into open conflict, with Tehran now mourning the loss of a key military figure.
In a major development, prominent Iranian Brigadier General Gholamhossein Gheybpavar has died. While initial reports from Iran's Fars News Agency attribute his death to long-standing chemical injuries from the Iran-Iraq war, the timing raises critical questions. His passing comes in the immediate aftermath of "Operation Rising Lion," a massive, covert Israeli operation on June 13 that has reportedly sparked a full-scale war between the two nations. This operation is said to be the cause of death for nearly 20 other top Iranian commanders, making Gheybpavar's death highly suspicious.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) allegedly targeted critical Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, and military bases across Tehran, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes were precise and devastating, with raids in Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Tehran successfully eliminating a significant portion of Iran's senior military leadership. This has created a power vacuum and a crisis within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Brig. Gen. Gheybpavar was a formidable figure in Iran's military establishment, having previously led the powerful Basij paramilitary force and the IRGC's Fajr Corps. His death leaves a significant void, even as Iran scrambles to fill key leadership roles with a new generation of officers. The situation remains tense and unpredictable, with the world watching to see what happens next in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict.

Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video urging the Druze community not to cross borders, claiming the IDF is protecting them.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s corruption trial was adjourned amid the crisis, sparking debate over timing. The situation in Damascus remains extremely volatile.

Hamas Warns 'More Captures Coming' After Killing 5 Israeli Soldiers In Gaza | Netanyahu Shaken
In a meticulously planned operation, Hamas forces have dealt a devastating blow to the IDF, raising critical questions about Israel's strategy in the ongoing war. This report details the attack and its significant fallout.
In a major escalation in the Israel-Gaza war, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has claimed responsibility for a deadly ambush in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza. The operation involved a planned IED blast that targeted Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), resulting in the deaths of five soldiers and injuring fourteen others. This incident represents a significant tactical victory for Hamas and a blow to Israel's military prestige. The fallen soldiers included four from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion and one from the Northern Gaza Brigade, with the IDF officially naming Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech among the deceased.
Following the attack, Al-Qassam's spokesperson, Abu Obeida, released a defiant statement, warning of more Israeli losses to come. He declared the Beit Hanoun operation a "heavy blow" to Israel's ground capabilities and promised further captures of Israeli soldiers in future engagements. Obeida asserted that the resistance in Gaza remains strong and framed the ongoing conflict as a "war of attrition" that will continue to cost Israel both soldiers and international standing, calling the situation "Netanyahu's biggest mistake."
This attack occurred under complex circumstances. According to an i24 News report, the ambush was triggered when an IDF medical unit entered the area to evacuate soldiers wounded in a prior engagement. The incident's timing is also critical, as it coincides with indirect ceasefire talks being held in Qatar between Israeli and Hamas representatives. The event underscores the persistent challenge Israel faces in containing Hamas, even two years into the conflict, and adds immense pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. A report from RT News even claimed Netanyahu was furious upon hearing the news just before a dinner meeting with Donald Trump, highlighting the intense political pressure he is under.
