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 turn of events along the southern Lebanese border, Hezbollah fighters have successfully repelled Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from the eastern neighbourhood of Khiam. Following two days of intense clashes, the Israeli troops were forced to retreat under heavy fire, marking a significant victory for Hezbollah in the ongoing conflict. The withdrawal began after Israeli forces, unable to secure the town, unleashed a barrage of artillery and airstrikes in a bid to cover their retreat. Hezbollah responded with precision, targeting Israeli positions and demonstrating their military resolve. This confrontation underscores the escalating tensions in the region as Hezbollah continues to stand firm against Israeli incursions while expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza. Watch the latest updates and analysis of this unfolding situation.

The U.S. ramps up its military presence in the Middle East with the deployment of ballistic missile destroyers and B-52 bombers, as tensions rise following Iranian threats against Israel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered these strategic assets to enhance deterrence and protect American personnel and allies in the region. This deployment coincides with reports of Iran potentially preparing to launch strikes against Israel, heightening concerns ahead of the U.S. presidential election. As the conflict escalates, including Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the U.S. reaffirms its commitment to regional stability and defense.
