In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

In a significant escalation of hostilities, US and UK coalition forces carried out an airstrike on Kamaran Island in Yemen's Hodeidah Governorate on Monday, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Yemen. This latest aggression comes as part of a broader campaign aimed at curbing Yemeni support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood battle. The airstrike on Kamaran Island, strategically located in the Red Sea, is the latest in a series of attacks targeting Yemeni territory. These assaults have led to numerous casualties, yet they have not deterred the Yemeni Armed Forces from continuing their operations against Israeli positions in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Yemeni forces have also established a formidable deterrent presence at sea, targeting vessels en route to occupied ports, further intensifying the conflict.

Hezbollah has unleashed a massive rocket attack on an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division. The assault is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon and is also intended to show support for Palestinians in Gaza. With Israel’s Iron Dome failing to intercept most of the missiles, the attack has sparked a major fire in Galilee and intensified the conflict. Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed to defend Lebanon and avenge recent assassinations of key figures. Watch to see how this escalation might affect the region.

In a powerful speech, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement, hailed Iran as a "true supporter" of the Palestinian cause and oppressed nations. He commended Iran's unconditional support for Palestinians, noting that the Islamic Republic remains resolute despite U.S. and Israeli pressure. Al-Houthi also warned of a dramatic escalation in anti-Israel operations alongside the Iraqi Islamic Resistance. He asserted that Netanyahu is attempting to rally Arab regimes against both Palestinians and Iran, and reaffirmed Iran's commitment to the Palestinian cause while condemning Israel's aggression. The Ansarullah leader disclosed details of joint operations between Yemeni forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, revealing that Iraq has targeted Israeli locations with advanced Arqab cruise missiles. He mentioned that Yemeni forces have initiated the fifth phase of their anti-Israel strikes with Operation Yafa, which surprised Israel and struck crucial targets in Tel Aviv. Al-Houthi condemned Israel’s military actions in Gaza, describing them as extremely terrible and cruel. He also mentioned Israel's military raids in the West Bank and called for a Friday protest in Yemen to express solidarity with Palestinians.
