A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syriaâs Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian armyâs withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actorsâincluding Israelâshaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence.

Iran has vowed to continue uranium enrichment despite devastating U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its nuclear sites. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the program a ânational pride,â rejecting any abandonment of nuclear ambitions. The strikes, which followed failed U.S.-Iran talks, sparked a 12-day air war before a ceasefire. Trump hailed the attackâs success, warning more strikes âif necessary.â Despite pressure, Tehran says it will rebuild its facilities, viewing nuclear power as a vital deterrent against Western and regional rivals.

Houthi forces launched a missile toward Israel after the IDF carried out drone strikes on Yemenâs Hodeidah port, a key hub allegedly used to import Iranian weapons. The Israeli military said the missile was intercepted by its Iron Dome defense system with no injuries reported. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the Houthis would âpay a heavy priceâ for future attacks. This marks Israelâs 13th strike on Yemen amid escalating missile and drone launches from the region. Since July, six missiles and two drones have targeted Israel without success.

Israel has launched fresh airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen's Hodeida port, claiming the site was being used to funnel Iranian weapons for attacks on Israeli and allied interests. The IDF has intensified operations in the Red Sea region, warning Tehran directly with the message: âYemen = Tehran.â This comes amid escalating tensions tied to the Gaza conflict and increasing Houthi drone and missile attacks. The international community watches closely as the Israel-Houthi conflict threatens broader regional stability.

In a scathing press conference in Ramallah, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa accused Israel of systematically using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. He stated that by targeting food supplies and aid convoys, Israel is intentionally inflicting suffering on Palestinian civilians. Mustafa urged the international community to speak out, accusing world leaders of enabling Israelâs tactics through silence. âDo not be complicit,â he warned, as images of malnourished children circulate online.
The comments come amid growing international concern over the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. With famine-like conditions spreading rapidly, global pressure is mounting on Israel to open aid corridors. Mustafaâs words have ignited fresh debate over war ethics, with many accusing the global powers of moral hypocrisy. Israel has denied such accusations, calling them baseless and politically motivated. Meanwhile, calls for ceasefire and humanitarian intervention continue to grow louder from various corners of the world.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israelâs prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat.
Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veteransâ deaths remain uncounted. With Israelâs military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategicâbut deeply human.

Another deadly incident in Gaza as Israeli forces opened fire on desperate Palestinians seeking food aid, killing at least 32 and wounding dozens. Witnesses say the gunfire was âtargeted to kill,â while Israel claims only âwarning shotsâ were fired at suspects. The UN reports nearly 800 killed near aid stations in recent weeks, while Israel denies wrongdoing and blocks international media from entering Gaza. Malnutrition is worsening, with hospitals overwhelmed by starvation cases as aid remains restricted.

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syriaâs southern Sweida province. Over 300 have died. The violence spiraled when Israel launched airstrikes on Damascus, claiming it was acting to protect the Druze minority. The Israeli Air Force targeted Syrian regime positions in the south, insisting on their withdrawal. Although Tel Aviv insists the action was to shield its "Druze brothers," experts suggest deeper motives, from political posturing to preventing a strong, unified Syria under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa. While the U.S. confirmed the ceasefire, ground reports indicate that fighting continues in several regions. Netanyahu urged Israeli Druze not to cross the border. With historic roots of autonomy and past alliances, the Druze community finds itself fractured in post-Assad Syria, unsure of its place under the new regime. Is this protection-or a geopolitical gamble by Tel Aviv?

In a dramatic escalation, Israeli warplanes launched a wave of airstrikes on southern Syria, targeting tanks, convoys, and rocket launchers in the governorates of Suwayda and Daraa. The strikes followed deadly sectarian clashes in Suwayda that killed over 30 people and injured nearly 100, prompting Syria to declare a ceasefire and withdraw heavy military equipment.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military action to disrupt the movement of Syrian and Iranian-backed militias advancing near Israelâs northern border. The Israeli Defense Forces say the attacks were aimed at halting the convoys before they reached strategic positions.
As Syria burns and Iran looms in the background, the question now is: How close are we to a broader war in the region?

In a powerful retaliation, Israel has launched a wave of missile strikes on Iran, targeting multiple high-profile sites across Tehran and Karaj. Among the most shocking hits: the Red Crescent building, state broadcaster IRIB headquarters, and the notorious Evin Prison. Massive explosions rocked the capital, with colossal plumes of smoke rising above Tehranâs skyline. Casualties are feared as Israel escalates its response to Iranâs earlier barrage, pushing the two nations closer to full-blown war.

The U.S. has proposed a 60-day ceasefire plan in Gaza, aiming to halt the war and secure the release of 28 Israeli hostages in exchange for 1,236 Palestinian prisoners. Israel has agreed to the terms, while the U.S. insists humanitarian aid will flow into Gaza only after Hamas signs off. The deal, coordinated through the UN and Red Crescent, could lead to a permanent truce if Hamas frees the remaining 30 hostages. Mounting pressure on Netanyahu from hostage families has fueled Israelâs backing of the plan, but Hamas demands remain a major roadblock.
