Hezbollah and Yemen's Armed Forces have significantly improved their air defense capabilities, successfully downing several Israeli and US drones. This development is forcing Israel and the US to reconsider their air operations in the region. Experts suggest that these groups' enhanced abilities could challenge Israel's air dominance and compromise intelligence gathering. As a result, Israel and the US may need to adjust their tactics, improve countermeasures, and continue developing new technologies to maintain their aerial advantage.

The Biden administration closely monitors the probe into a deadly Israeli airstrike in Rafah, which the Israelis have labeled a tragic mistake. Despite the recent deaths, the U.S. maintains that this incident doesn't cross any red lines warranting a change in policy or military aid to Israel. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby addressed the situation, emphasizing that the tragic event doesn't qualify as a major ground operation that would lead to withholding aid. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

occurred near the space station, prompting astronauts
to take shelter in their spacecraft for about an hour. .
Mission Control continued to monitor the path of the debris, and after about an hour, the crew was cleared to exit their spacecraft and the station resumed normal operations, NASA statement, via X.
Space-tracking firm LeoLabs said that U.S. radar

Julian Assange , Reaches Plea Deal With , US Government.
'The Independent' reports that Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange has been released
from Belmarsh prison as part of a plea deal
with the United States Justice Department.
Assange will be flown out of the U.K. as part
of the deal before he makes a guilty plea deal
that could end the years-long legal battle.
On June 24, Assange boarded a flight at Stansted airport
ahead of a scheduled appearance later this week in the
Mariana Islands, a Western Pacific U.S. commonwealth.
The U.S. government has charged the
Wikileaks founder with conspiracy to obtain
and disclose national defense secrets.
The charges stem from one of the largest leaks of
classified information in U.S. history, disclosing tens of
thousands of reports regarding the war in Afghanistan.
The disclosure, which occurred between 2009 and
2011, included unfiltered diplomatic cables that
potentially endangered the safety of confidential sources. .
The leak also included significant
activity reports related to the war in Iraq
and information regarding Guantanamo Bay.
According to the latest DOJ filing, Assange is expected
to plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of time
already served, thus avoiding U.S. imprisonment. .

that spanned grass-roots organizers,
press freedom campaigners,
legislators and leaders from
across the political spectrum,

a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours
a day, he will soon reunite with his
wife Stella Assange, and their children,
