We delve into the international outcry over the use of these toxic weapons and their long-term consequences on Lebanon’s environment and infrastructure.
Expert commentary, including insights from Dexter Filkins of The New Yorker, sheds light on Israel's strategy and the destructive effects of white phosphorus.
We also cover Hezbollah’s vow to defend Lebanon against further Israeli aggression and its history of successful resistance.
Watch for a comprehensive overview of the current conflict and its potential ramifications.
Late Tuesday night, Hezbollah fighters executed a meticulously planned three-phase ambush on Israeli forces near the border town of Markaba in South Lebanon. The initial strike, conducted at 10:00 PM, targeted an advancing Israeli infantry unit with an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), causing heavy casualties.
When Israeli command dispatched a rescue team to retrieve the wounded and dead, Hezbollah launched a second ATGM strike, further escalating the toll. A third strike at 11:10 PM targeted a second rescue team, leading to additional losses.

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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

In a provocative and chilling statement, Iran has called for the execution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv. The Iranian government has urged its Arab allies to take action in support of this call, sending shockwaves through Israel and further stoking fears of regional instability. The statement follows a series of heightened exchanges between Israel and Iran, with both nations engaged in a bitter conflict, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Tehran has also criticized international bodies, accusing them of failing to adequately address Israel’s actions and calling for greater cooperation among pro-Palestinian countries to seek justice.
