Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iran’s support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iran’s regional proxies to expand its influence. However, Khamenei dismissed such accusations, stressing that these organizations are motivated by local grievances and ideological commitments, not Iranian directives.

In a bold move amid escalating tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited a strategic peak in the newly seized Syrian territory. Defying strong warnings from Iran, Netanyahu declared that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will remain in the area until an arrangement ensuring Israel’s security is reached.
Joined by key military officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, Netanyahu toured Mount Hermon, a crucial location for monitoring Hezbollah activities in Lebanon. The visit marks a significant step in Israel’s military operations in Syria, with the Golan Heights now playing a central role in securing Israel’s borders

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a bold proclamation, predicting the inevitable elimination of Israel while asserting that Hezbollah remains an indomitable force. In a powerful address, Khamenei dismissed the belief held by the U.S., Israel, and their allies that regional resistance has been weakened, calling it a grave miscalculation. He emphasized that the martyrdom of leaders like Hassan Nasrallah and Yehya Sinwar has not diminished the resistance movement, as their ideology and mission continue to inspire.

Tensions are escalating as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intensifies his stance on the Golan Heights, provoking Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to pull back from the strategically critical "buffer zone" inside the Syrian Golan Heights, despite growing international pressure. This decision, signaling Israel’s firm grip on the region, has raised fears of a new Israeli-Syrian conflict. With Syria’s new administration committed to challenging Israeli presence, the region stands on the brink of a larger confrontation. As Israel fortifies its hold over the Golan, the fate of Syria’s fractured leadership hangs in the balance.

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.

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has claimed that their targeted strikes against U.S. and Israeli assets caused significant confusion among American air defense systems, allegedly leading to "friendly fire" that downed a U.S. fighter jet. Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, asserted the group's actions effectively baffled the U.S.'s advanced defense network, resulting in an American warplane being mistakenly hit.

Hezbollah launched a deadly 30-rocket barrage on Monday, targeting Israeli border cities including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya in the Galilee region. The attack, which began early in the morning, caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure. One of the most notable hits was on a local hesder yeshiva in Kiryat Shmona, although fortunately, the building was unoccupied due to prior evacuations of students. While some of the rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system, many others fell in open areas, though the damage and impact on local communities were significant.
The attack comes amidst heightened tensions as U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein prepares to visit Beirut to receive Lebanon's official response to a ceasefire proposal. Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has reportedly added more demands to the proposal, creating doubts about a peaceful resolution. The barrage also comes on the heels of Israel's military activity in southern Lebanon, including artillery strikes against Hezbollah positions near Nabatieh.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets and drones targeting Israeli military positions and settlements, marking a significant challenge to Israel's Iron Dome defence system. The operation unfolded over the course of a day, beginning with coordinated attacks on various locations, including the al-Maslakh neighbourhood and key settlements like Karmiel and Kiryat Shmona. With precision and strategic planning, Hezbollah employed both traditional rocket barrages and one-way drones to strike multiple targets, showcasing their military capabilities and adaptability. The strikes resulted in injuries to Israeli soldiers and civilians, heightening tensions in the region and raising concerns about the efficacy of Israel's defensive measures.
