Israel opens another WAR FRONT? Troops advance into Syria’s Strategic Southwestern province Quneitra
Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later.
According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights.
Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains.
The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to defeat Hamas, citing its refusal to disarm and release hostages. With 75% of Gaza under Israeli control, the IDF has been ordered to dismantle remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and central camps. Netanyahu outlined five principles, including disarmament, demilitarization, and a non-Hamas administration. He defended civilian relocation to safe zones, rejecting claims of a humanitarian crisis. Israel plans a border security zone and expanded aid delivery, while facing international criticism over its Gaza City offensive.

Massive explosions rocked western Syria overnight as the Israeli Air Force launched precision strikes on the Brigade 107 headquarters in Zama village, near the Golan Heights. The IDF confirmed it successfully targeted and eliminated senior Hezbollah commander Hossam Qasem Ghorab, who was directing cross-border rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Fireballs and plumes of smoke were seen for kilometers, as the strategic military site was reduced to rubble. With tensions escalating in the region, the Israeli military vows to prevent further terror infiltration from Syria and Lebanon.

Hamas has released new hostage videos showing Israeli captive Dalal in a starving state, igniting nationwide shock and international condemnation. Iris Haim, mother of slain hostage Yotam, is urging Israel to surrender to save the remaining captives in Gaza. Her son was tragically killed by IDF fire while escaping Hamas captivity. As protests erupt across Tel Aviv, Israeli PM Netanyahu faces mounting pressure. Meanwhile, Hamas leaders defend the October 7 attack as a “strategic success,” claiming it led to global recognition of Palestine. French President Macron called the videos “abject cruelty.”

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.

The Syrian government has begun evacuating over 1,500 Bedouins from war-torn Sweida following deadly clashes with Druze militias that killed 260 in a week. Red Crescent and security forces are Escorting evacuees to Daraa as ceasefire talks continue. The unrest has displaced over 128,000 people, with Syria’s interior minister calling for urgent calm. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have hit Syrian military sites in Damascus and Sweida, citing protection of the Druze minority, further intensifying the fragile and volatile situation.

Israel and Syria have reportedly agreed to a ceasefire after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin communities in Syria’s 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?

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syria’s Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian army’s 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 actors—including Israel—shaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence.

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a chilling warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his Gaza City occupation plan, accusing him of genocide and expansionism. Fidan declared Netanyahu would “drown in the blood of people he condemned to starvation” and vowed his “tyranny will be erased from history.” Ankara condemned the plan as a war crime, urged a ceasefire, and called on the UN to act. With over 61,200 dead, Gaza faces famine and escalating international legal action.

Hamas’ Al-Quds Brigades fired Quds-3 rockets at Israeli positions near the Nir Am settlement in the Gaza envelope, claiming the strike was retaliation for Minister Ben Gvir’s controversial actions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. New combat visuals show fighters preparing and launching the rockets from infiltration axes inside Gaza. The militants say the attack targeted Israeli troops before, during, and after the Gideon’s Chariots operation. As Israel pushes deeper into Gaza under Netanyahu’s new control plan, Hamas-aligned groups intensify guerrilla strikes on IDF forces and armored units.

Israel has launched “Operation Dawn,” a surprise military drill led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, to test the army’s readiness for large-scale attacks and multi-front conflicts. The unannounced exercise simulates potential war scenarios across all theatres, assessing decision-making speed, coordination, and combat preparedness. The move comes amid plans for a possible Gaza takeover, following a high-level security meeting chaired by Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Security Cabinet affirmed the IDF’s ability to execute any decision regarding the ongoing Gaza campaign.

Dozens of Israeli Druze crossed from the Golan Heights into Syria’s Sweida province amid escalating violence between Druze militias, Bedouin tribes, and Syrian government forces. The move followed calls on social media urging Druze solidarity across borders. In response to what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was a Syrian plan to use weapons against the Druze, Israel launched airstrikes on Syrian military convoys, killing and wounding several personnel. Syria condemned the strikes and accused Israel of causing civilian deaths. Despite a declared ceasefire by Syria's defense minister, clashes continued, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the execution of at least 19 Druze civilians.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel. If confirmed, the move would mark a historic shift in Middle East geopolitics, potentially opening the door to broader normalization between the two countries.
