In a harrowing video released by the IDF on Monday, three Israeli hostages, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eliya Cohen, 26, and Or Levy, 33, are seen crammed in the back of a pickup truck, smeared with blood, and being transported by jubilant Palestinian captors. The footage, approved for publication by the hostages' families, aims to push Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a hostage deal with Hamas.

Hezbollah and Yemen's Armed Forces have significantly improved their air defense capabilities, successfully downing several Israeli and US drones. This development is forcing Israel and the US to reconsider their air operations in the region. Experts suggest that these groups' enhanced abilities could challenge Israel's air dominance and compromise intelligence gathering. As a result, Israel and the US may need to adjust their tactics, improve countermeasures, and continue developing new technologies to maintain their aerial advantage.

Al Jazeera reports that India is quietly supplying weapon components to Israel during the Gaza conflict, despite advocating for peaceful resolutions. Two cargo ships carrying explosives from India to Israel were identified. India and Israel collaborate on missile production and drone manufacturing. Indian companies like Premier Explosives Limited and Adani Defence & Aerospace are involved. This arms trade contrasts with India's public stance of supporting dialogue over military action, potentially complicating its diplomatic position.

The Secretary-General of Iraq's Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq resistance group, Qais al-Khazali, has issued a stark warning to Israel against initiating a new war on Lebanon, emphasising that such aggression would jeopardise the strategic interests of its key ally, the United States, in West Asia. In a bold statement, al-Khazali underscored that the Israeli regime and its extremist right-wing administration, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would ultimately fail to benefit the United States, questioning the wisdom of Washington's unwavering support for Tel Aviv.

In a significant escalation of regional tensions, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced in the early hours of Wednesday that it had executed a drone strike targeting a "vital Israeli target" in the occupied Palestinian city of Umm al-Rashrash, known as Eilat. This marks a notable development in the ongoing conflict between Israel and various resistance factions in the Middle East. The Islamic Resistance issued a brief but pointed statement asserting that this operation was carried out in solidarity with the Gaza Strip and in retaliation for what they described as massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly. The group vowed to persist in targeting Israeli strongholds as part of their continued resistance efforts.
