In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Iraqi fighters launched a series of three consecutive attacks on Israeli military bases, leaving Israeli defences in disarray. The assaults came shortly after a wave of eight drone strikes had already pummelling key Israeli installations within a span of just 24 hours.
The coordinated offensive involved both missile strikes and drone attacks, targeting strategic Israeli bases and causing significant damage. According to reports, the initial drone strikes severely weakened the defences, setting the stage for the subsequent missile blitz by the Iraqi fighters. Explosions rocked the targeted sites, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos as emergency services scrambled to respond.

The Kremlin has strongly refuted recent claims suggesting that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken in recent days, calling the reports "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations, which had been reported by The Washington Post and Reuters, labelling them as a "complete lie." According to these reports, Trump had supposedly urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Peskov mocked the rumours, describing the information as "false" and criticised the quality of such reports being published by reputable outlets. He further stated that, as of now, there were no concrete plans for Putin to engage in talks with Trump, despite earlier reports hinting at potential discussions between the two leaders.
