Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syria’s battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict.

Shocking videos from Syria’s Sweida province show Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants executing Druze civilians in a surge of sectarian bloodshed. Victims, targeted for their faith, are seen kneeling with hands on their heads before being gunned down. Some videos even show HTS fighters burning bodies and celebrating the killings. The violence, part of a wider Druze-Bedouin conflict, marks one of the bloodiest weeks in southern Syria’s civil war, with hundreds killed in escalating sectarian clashes.

Israel has launched one of its most daring operations inside Syria, sparking fears of an all-out war. A day after Israeli drone strikes killed six Syrian soldiers, IDF troops, fighter jets, and helicopters stormed a Syrian military site near Damascus in a rare ground raid. The two-hour mission saw Israeli forces land on a strategic hilltop before withdrawing. Syria accused Israel of violating international law, while Israel insists it was targeting Hezbollah-linked bases, raising tensions across the region.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Houthis have declared an all-out war on Israel following the assassination of Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahawi in Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a. Vowing revenge, the Ansarullah movement warned of “real surprises” for Israel, promising escalated attacks by land and sea. The announcement comes after Houthi forces struck an Israeli oil tanker in the Red Sea and launched fresh drone operations in solidarity with Palestinians.

Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla was forced to turn back after just a few hours at sea due to severe Mediterranean storms. The Global Sumud Flotilla Mission, which included activists and celebrities aiming to break Israel’s naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid, delayed their journey to prioritize safety. Thousands of supporters had gathered in Barcelona to see the boats off, waving Palestinian flags and chanting for Gaza. Organizers criticized global leaders for failing to press Israel on humanitarian access, while the stormy weather brought the mission to a temporary halt.

Days after Israel’s military announced the killing of Hamas’ elusive spokesman Abu Obaida, mystery still surrounds his fate. The IDF and Shin Bet claim a targeted strike eliminated him, coordinated from an Israeli intelligence situation room. Reports say his wife and children were killed, but Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied his death, fueling speculation. With no body recovered, questions linger over whether Abu Obaida—Hamas’ most secretive and feared figure—is truly dead or remains alive in hiding.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?
