Israeli airstrikes target a car on the Damascus-Beirut road near the Saboura checkpoint in Syria.
Lebanese media reported that Al-Hajj Abou Al-Fadl Qarnabsh, a former bodyguard of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in the attack.
Hezbollah released the second episode of its spy video series, Hudhud (Hoopoe), today, showcasing aerial reconnaissance footage of sensitive Israeli military installations in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
The 10-minute video reveals detailed views of Israeli intelligence bases, command headquarters, and military camps, all captured by Hezbollah-operated. The UAVs, which evaded Israeli radar and defence systems, also captured images of Iron Dome batteries, command centres, ammunition depots, tanks, and barracks.
This latest release comes after the resistance group recently published drone reconnaissance footage of sensitive Israeli military sites around Haifa.

The Jewish Council of Australia issued a statement that accuses Israel of misappropriating the Star of David
The statement noted that "Israel’s soldiers have been documented emblazoning the Star of David on Palestinian prisoners, graffitiing it on the walls of houses they loot in Gaza, and using tanks to sear it into the rubble of what used to be recreation parks for families." It therefore said that “these actions place all Jewish people at risk by tarnishing us with these egregious human rights abuses."
Violence fueled by social media hysteria and deep-seated resentment marks a crucial moment as Ankara and Damascus edge closer to re-establishing ties.

Israel may have killed up to 8% of the population in Gaza
A Lancet study indicates that the Gaza death toll may be much higher than previously anticipated, meaning that close to 8% of the territory’s population have been killed.
The shocking study looked at the indirect deaths during recent conflict, noting that this toll often ranges “from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths”. Using the most conservative estimate, it is therefore concluded plausible that the true death toll in Gaza could be closer to 186,000 than the much lower accounted for statistics released by the Gaza Health Ministry.

The Ansarallah leader also made it clear that such a war would not effect operations in support of Gaza and that the people of Yemen “prioritize the Palestinian cause over their own.”

Israel applied the Hannibal Directive on October 7

Israel’s war on Gaza has directly impacted every hospital in the besieged territory

Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn Abu Zubaydah is a Palestinian man who was detained in 2002 by US agents without any charge or trial. Before arriving in Guatanamo in 2006, Abu Zubaydah was transported to different countries, including Thailand, Poland, Afghanistan, Morocco, and then later Cuba.
Abu Zubaydah claims that before arriving in Guantanamo, Cuba, he was subjected to extreme sleep deprivation, confinement inside boxes, beatings, death threats, starvation, denial of medical care, and no access to sanitation.
The CIA believed Abu Zubaydah was deeply entrenched in the leadership of Al Qaeda and had helped plan the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. However, US intelligence soon concluded that he was never a formal member of Al Qaeda, and only last year, the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, acting on behalf of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, immediately release Abu Zubaydah.
On Sunday, Westfield Stratford in East London was enveloped by a massive Palestinian flag spanning several floors.
