In a shocking escalation, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, launched a relentless barrage of 107 rockets and mortars targeting Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The attack, which took place on December 9, 2024, focused on Israeli troops stationed east of Rafah, particularly in the Jenina neighborhood. Intense ground clashes erupted between the Al-Quds Brigade and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), with both sides exchanging heavy fire. This marks yet another chapter in the ongoing conflict between Hamas-backed forces and Israel, following the October 7 attacks that escalated tensions in the region.

Yemeni official Mohammad Ali al-Houthi warned the U.S. military about its fourth aircraft carrier, deployed near Yemeni waters. He stated that Yemeni forces could easily target and destroy it, as they did with previous U.S. carriers. This comes in response to increasing U.S. military presence in the region. Al-Houthi also warned Saudi Arabia to prevent further aggression and dismissed Israeli threats, emphasizing Yemen's operational capability far beyond its shores.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, has released a chilling video titled "No One Will Be Left to Tell the Tale... Time is Running Out," sending a stark warning to Israel. The video highlights the dire consequences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued delay in finalizing a captive exchange and ceasefire agreement. It specifically raises alarms about the lives of Israeli captives held in Gaza, with the brigades making clear that the delay could lead to irreversible harm. The warning comes amidst Israel’s ongoing military aggression in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of numerous Israeli captives over the past year. Israeli media recently reported on a failed rescue mission that tragically resulted in the death of captive Sahar Baruch, 25, while attempting to free another Israeli, Noa Argamani. This incident has intensified concerns about the risk to captives, as public opinion in Israel shifts, with 74% of Israelis now supporting a comprehensive deal to return all captives, even if it means ending the war.

In a bold operation, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, freed kidnapped Palestinians held by Israeli forces during a daring ambush in Beit Lahia, Gaza. The operation resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers, who were shot at close range while fortifying a building. The fighters seized Israeli weapons and liberated civilians held captive inside the structure. This marks another major escalation in the ongoing conflict, with reports of further casualties following additional attacks in the region, including the death of two Israeli soldiers in an explosion in Jabalia. Al-Qassam’s tactics shift, now incorporating martyrdom operations, signaling a new phase in their resistance against Israeli occupation forces.

Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.

Israeli airstrikes and relentless bombardment have devastated Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp, destroying 70% of its buildings and turning the once-thriving area into a ghost town. The attack has left thousands of Palestinians trapped under rubble, with entire neighborhoods reduced to ash. This destruction is part of Israel's ongoing offensive against northern Gaza, where towns like Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun have been besieged for over 40 days, enduring constant shelling, drone strikes, and a complete blockade. Despite the dire humanitarian situation, Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, has continued launching retaliatory strikes against Israeli forces, intensifying the ongoing violence.

In a controversial move that has sparked fierce protests and political backlash, Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, approved the issuance of 7,000 military draft orders for Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim). This decision marks a significant shift in Israel's long-standing policy of exempting religious students from military service, and has led to heated debates over the role of religion in national defense. With the country already in the midst of conflict, this move comes amid growing pressure from Israel's secular majority and tensions with the Ultra-Orthodox political parties.
