A shocking new video released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shows the dramatic assassination of a top Hamas-Hezbollah commander, marking a significant blow to Iran-backed factions operating in the region. The video captures the moments leading up to the strike, which obliterated the target, sending shockwaves across the Middle East. This targeted operation is seen as a major escalation in Israel's ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist networks aligned with Iran, which have been destabilizing the region.

Overnight in Gaza, relentless airstrikes and shelling between midnight and 3 a.m. marked one of the most violent nights in recent memory. Strikes hit every corner of Gaza Cityâeast, west, and centerâleaving families devastated. A bombing on the Bakr family home killed four, while other neighborhoods like Khan Younis, Jabalia, and Rafah faced nonstop attacks. Civil defense bulldozers were destroyed, and key infrastructure was targeted. As the humanitarian crisis worsens, the strategy appears to focus on crippling Gazaâs emergency response capabilities.

In a surprising statement, Hamas mourned Pope Francisâ passing and praised his firm stand on Gaza. The group lauded the late Pope for promoting interfaith dialogue and opposing genocide, racism, and war crimesâespecially his vocal support for Palestinians during the war in Gaza. Hamas acknowledged Pope Francisâ nightly phone calls to Christians in Gaza and his repeated calls for a ceasefire. The statement emphasized joint efforts among faith communities to resist injustice, colonialism, and war, recognizing the Pope as a rare and powerful moral voice in a time of global conflict.

Netanyahu stunned the nation by openly admitting that Hamas fighters âare not stupid,â rejecting strategies that involve misleading the group for tactical advantage. The shocking outburst followed reports that Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamasâs military wing, had killed several Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) troops in Gaza. Netanyahuâs remarks, viewed by many as a rare moment of candor and a potential sign of mounting pressure, have sparked fierce debate across Israel as the war drags on with no clear end in sight.
