Lebanon is expecting a retaliatory strike from Israel after a missile hit a football field in the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-annexed SyrianGolan Heights over the weekend, killing 12 children and adolescents.
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

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.
