Hezbollah launches the largest number of operations against Israel since the beginning of the war on Lebanon
Israel claimed to have wiped out 80% of the Lebanese resistance’s weapons and declared victory over the group, despite its inability to successfully invade the south of Lebanon and complete the objective of pushing Hezbollah back past the Litani River. While the Lebanese army has been directly attacked a number of times, losing around 50 soldiers, it is yet to fire on Israel, meaning Hezbollah and its allied armed groups are the only ones who have fended off the Israeli attack. Hezbollah has declared that if Israel strikes Beirut, it will strike Tel Aviv as a new equation.

He then attacks Hamas and claims that the Palestinian group is responsible for civilian death in Gaza. This is despite the ICC also issuing an arrest warrant for Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif.

Israeli army officer Zvi Kogan kidnapped and killed in the UAE
Zvi Kogan, a 28-year-old Israeli who managed a kosher store in Dubai, was kidnapped last Thursday.
Yesterday, Kogan's body was found in Al Ain, a city close to the Omani border. Three Uzbek nationals have been arrested in connection with the death and are suspected of murdering the Israeli rabbi; however, the UAE Ministry of Interior did not specify whether the men had been formally charged.
Authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing.
A MintPress News investigation from @Alan.R.MacLeod has found hundreds of former employees of Israel lobbying groups such as AIPAC, StandWithUs and CAMERA working in top newsrooms across the country, writing and producing America’s news – including on Israel-Palestine. These outlets include MSNBC, The New York Times, CNN and Fox News.
Some of these former lobbyists are responsible for producing content on Israel and Palestine – a gigantic and undisclosed conflict of interest. Many key U.S. newsroom staff were also formerly Israeli spies or intelligence agents, standing in stark contrast to journalists with pro-Palestine sentiments, who have been purged en masse since October 7, 2023.

At a conference hosted by the Yesha Council yesterday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich proposed that Israelis could "occupy Gaza and thin the population by half within two years."
Smotrich argued that this could be done at a relatively low cost, but even if the price were higher, Israel should be willing to pay it, calling this strategy the "only way forward."
Smotrich emphasised that this strategy, if successful in Gaza, could later be applied to the West Bank.
