Al-Qassam Rocket Blitz in Israel: Fires Rage in Ashdod & Bitzaron, Sirens Sound Across 5 Regions
In a dramatic escalation of violence, rockets launched from Gaza have struck multiple locations in southern Israel, including Ashdod and Bitzaron.
The intense barrage has ignited widespread fires, causing significant damage and disruption.
Emergency sirens have blared across five additional regions, signaling the severity of the attacks.
The situation remains critical as emergency services respond to the fires and ongoing rocket threats, intensifying the already volatile conflict in the region.
Iranâs Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelâs âwar of aggressionâ against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called âatrocity crimesâ and âunprovoked armed attacksâ by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterâs Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyâs position as both âillegalâ and âcriminal,â Baqaei said Berlinâs support amounts to âcomplicity in aggressionâ and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iranâs legal framing of Germanyâs conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacyâbut only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a âdeclaration of war.â Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its programâs peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peaceâthough Araghchi dismissed claims of Iranâs program being âobliteratedâ and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

A senior Iranian official confirmed that Israel attempted to assassinate President Masoud Pezeshkian during a high-level military meeting amid Israel's June attacks on Iran. Presidential advisor Sayyed Mehdi Tabatabaei revealed that Israel targeted a gathering of political and military leaders with a large-scale explosion, calling it a direct operation aimed at decapitating Iran's leadership. Pezeshkian himself confirmed the assassination attempt in a recent interview, criticizing Israeli hostility and U.S. complicity. Iran has vowed to reject any future negotiations that seek to undermine its nuclear capabilities and missile program, which it considers non-negotiable national rights. Iranian leaders also accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of bias and warned that cooperation with the agency depends on fair treatment.

Yemenâs Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israelâs Eilat port is now âimpossible,â reaffirming Yemenâs firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings.
Yemenâs naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israelâs bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemenâs missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance â and Eilat is no longer open.

Yemenâs armed forces launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israelâs Ben Gurion Airport, halting operations and sending civilians into shelters. This marks the latest in a series of precise retaliatory strikes by the Houthis, who have previously targeted Israeli infrastructure. Three additional drone attacks hit Yaffa, Ashdod, and Umm al-Rashrash. Yemenâs President Mahdi Al-Mashat warned foreign companies to exit Israel or face "real and significant risks." The Yemen military stated operations will continue until Gazaâs blockade ends and aggression ceases, signaling potential escalation.

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw troops from Gazaâs strategic Morag corridor. Hamas demands a full pullout, calling Israelâs military presence a deal-breaker. Critics warn Israelâs position could derail humanitarian deals and lead to mass displacement. U.S. and Qatari mediators are scrambling to salvage negotiations. With allegations of ethnic cleansing surfacing, Israelâs hardline stance is seen by some as a strategic move to maintain control over southern Gaza during any truce.

A harrowing attack in southern Gaza claimed the life of Master Sgt. Abraham Azulay, 25, an Israeli combat-engineering reservist, as Hamas gunmen attempted to abduct him during a tunnel ambush. Azulay was killed in the struggle, and militants tried to drag his body away before IDF forces intervened. In a related move, Israel's military has intensified its ground offensive in northern Gaza, deploying the Givati Brigade and 99th Division near Beit Hanoun, aiming to dismantle Hamas tunnels. IDF Chief Lt.âŻGen. Eyal Zamir said the operationâdubbed "Operation Gideonâs Chariots"âaims to set conditions favorable for a hostage swap. The violence has slowed ceasefire progress, even as Israeli PM Netanyahu left Washington without a breakthrough. Gaza's civil defense reports at least 22 more civilian deaths from Israeli strikes, worsening fuel shortages at Gaza Cityâs Al-Shifa Hospital. As both sides hold firm, international pressure for a truce grows louder.
