Turkish activists stormed the German-flagged MV Kathrin at Istanbul's port, protesting its transport of 150,000 kg of explosives intended for Israeli military use. The vessel, previously rejected by multiple countries, had offloaded its cargo in Egypt. This protest follows similar actions at Istanbul's Ambarli Port and comes amid concerns over these weapons' potential use in Gaza.

In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi condemned Israel's actions and extended a strong message of support to Lebanon. In a public address, Al-Sisi criticised Israel's military operations and called for an immediate ceasefire, emphasising the need for solidarity among Arab nations during this critical time.
Recognizing the humanitarian crisis that has emerged in Lebanon as a result of the conflict, Al-Sisi announced the deployment of emergency medical and relief aid to assist the Lebanese people. His statements underscored Egypt's commitment to standing by Lebanon and its sovereignty amid increasing aggression from Israel.
