More than four months into the Israel-Hamas conflict, Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed the military to formulate a plan for evacuating civilians from Rafah, anticipating an imminent invasion of the densely populated southern Gaza City.
The relentless military offensive by Israel has forced over half of Gaza's 2.3 million residents towards the border with Egypt.
Adding another layer to the complexity, Israeli strikes targeted the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The strikes resulted in some reported 'material' losses.
Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir threatens to withdraw from the coalition if the hostage deal with Hamas proceeds. The agreement, which would see Israel exchange prisoners for hostages, is deeply divisive within the Israeli government. Ben-Gvir’s call for collaboration with fellow Minister Smotrich underscores the deepening rift between hardline members of the coalition and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Should the deal move forward, it could lead to a significant political crisis for Netanyahu, threatening the stability of his government amidst an already tense security situation.

US President-elect Donald Trump shared a controversial video on Truth Social, featuring economist Jeffrey Sachs, who criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for manipulating US foreign policy. Sachs accused Netanyahu of pursuing a strategy since 1995 to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah, which he claims led to endless wars. The post comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts for a truce and Trump’s own threats regarding hostages held in Gaza. Trump had previously supported Netanyahu during his presidency, including recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019.

In a bold statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Houthis would pay a "heavy price" after Israeli fighter jets targeted key Houthi positions in Yemen. The airstrikes, which are part of Israel's ongoing efforts to combat Iranian-backed terror in the Middle East, have sent shockwaves through the region. Netanyahu highlighted the Houthis as a major threat to both Israel's security and global freedom of navigation, citing their attacks on international shipping and their close ties to Iran. With tensions rising, this new escalation raises questions about the future of Middle Eastern geopolitics and the ongoing struggle for regional influence. Watch as we break down this critical development and explore what it means for the wider global security landscape.

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.
