In a chilling development, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad has released a third video of hostage Sasha Trufanov, showing him speaking about his age as 28âdespite having turned 29 two days prior. This video, the latest in a series, raises new questions about the psychological warfare being waged by terror groups against hostages and their families. Trufanov, an engineer from Israel, was taken captive during the brutal October 7 Hamas massacre, along with three family members. While some hostages have been released, Sashaâs fate remains uncertain as Israel continues negotiations for his release. Watch the video to learn more about the ongoing crisis and its impact.

In a bold and devastating escalation, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades have claimed responsibility for killing at least 20 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in just two days. The attacks, described as "multiple strikes" and "deadly ambushes," took place in the northern Gaza Strip and are being hailed as a significant counteroffensive against Israel's ongoing military aggression.
The Hamas statement emphasises the scale and precision of the operations, marking a major blow to Israeli forces who have been engaged in intensive airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza. According to Hamas, the resistance movement has successfully targeted Israeli soldiers, continuing their war of attrition against the occupying forces. The organisation vowed that these attacks are only the beginning, promising further strikes until the Israeli regime withdraws completely from the besieged Palestinian territory.

National Unity leader Benny Gantz condemned the recent flash bomb attack near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home, calling it "terrorism" and not a legitimate protest. The attack, which occurred early Sunday morning, involved the firing of flares at Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea. While no damage or casualties were reported, the incident has sparked outrage among Israeli leaders. Gantz, a vocal critic of Netanyahu, emphasised that lawful protest is the only acceptable form of opposition. Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, from Netanyahu's Likud party, used the attack to push for the completion of the controversial judicial overhaul, arguing that the incident reflected a failure of the justice system. The Israeli Police and Shin Bet are investigating the attack, which marks a dangerous escalation amid rising tensions and violence directed at the Israeli government.

In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia.

Putin and Saudi Crown Prince MBS held a phone discussion on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and oil markets amid Trump's US election victory. The call, initiated by Saudi Arabia, covered OPEC Plus coordination and bilateral relations. With Trump's pro-Israel stance and history of facilitating Saudi-Israel normalization, this conversation gains strategic significance. As US-Saudi relations may improve under Trump, Putin's engagement suggests Russia's effort to maintain Middle East influence, while leveraging OPEC Plus partnerships.
