In a chilling development, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad has released a third video of hostage Sasha Trufanov, showing him speaking about his age as 28ādespite 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, Sashaās fate remains uncertain as Israel continues negotiations for his release. Watch the video to learn more about the ongoing crisis and its impact.

The situation in northern Gaza has been described as "apocalyptic" by acting UN aid chief Joyce Msuya, as Israel's military offensive against Hamas in the area.. Sky News
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.

Israeli warplanes launched a massive air assault on Beirutās southern suburb of Haret Hreik, targeting Hezbollah positions early Saturday. The strikes, which focused on key infrastructure, included a weapons depot, a Hezbollah command centre, and other buildings believed to be associated with the militant group. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area, urging them to stay at least 500 metres away from the targeted sites. The military operation is part of a broader strategy to dismantle Hezbollah's infrastructure in the region. This escalation follows recent rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel, with Hezbollah reportedly firing at least 55 rockets and deploying drones in the area, resulting in significant damage.
