The attack comes after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with key mediators from Egypt and Qatar to press ahead with a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
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.

Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.

Tensions are escalating as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intensifies his stance on the Golan Heights, provoking Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to pull back from the strategically critical "buffer zone" inside the Syrian Golan Heights, despite growing international pressure. This decision, signaling Israel’s firm grip on the region, has raised fears of a new Israeli-Syrian conflict. With Syria’s new administration committed to challenging Israeli presence, the region stands on the brink of a larger confrontation. As Israel fortifies its hold over the Golan, the fate of Syria’s fractured leadership hangs in the balance.

Israeli airstrikes and relentless bombardment have devastated Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp, destroying 70% of its buildings and turning the once-thriving area into a ghost town. The attack has left thousands of Palestinians trapped under rubble, with entire neighborhoods reduced to ash. This destruction is part of Israel's ongoing offensive against northern Gaza, where towns like Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun have been besieged for over 40 days, enduring constant shelling, drone strikes, and a complete blockade. Despite the dire humanitarian situation, Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, has continued launching retaliatory strikes against Israeli forces, intensifying the ongoing violence.

Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, has expressed its readiness to enter into a ceasefire agreement in Gaza following Hezbollah's decision to lay down its arms and reach a ceasefire with Israel. The group, which has been engaged in ongoing hostilities with Israel, cited the ceasefire brokered by the US and France between Hezbollah and Israel as a key development signaling a shift toward peace efforts.
