Since 1948, Israel has made a habit of targeting Palestinian refugee camps, striking the people it’s already displaced.

During the thick of summer, around 8 a.m. one day in late July 1971, bulldozers crept into the Gaza Strip’s Jabalia refugee camp. The Israeli military had already warned several families of their impending evictions, and a large show of Israeli forces gathered to confront any potential resistance. Soldiers stormed homes Palestinian families refused to evacuate, clubbing them with sticks and batons, and dragging them out into the morning heat. Within a few days, the bulldozers had leveled around 50 homes on the edge of the camp. Some 500 people, refugee families who had already lost their homes elsewhere in historic Palestine some 23 years earlier, were now homeless once again. Another week passed and the number of homes Israeli forces destroyed swelled to 400.

Geneva – Since the beginning of its large-scale aggression against Lebanon, the Israeli army has committed more than 20 massacres of civilians, and has attempted to legitimize and justify them under the pretext of targeting military targets or carrying out military or political assassinations.

A military commander close to HTS told Syria TV that preparations are underway, including planting defensive mines and cancelling leave for its members.

A military source in northwestern Syria reported on Sunday to North Press that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly known as al-Nusra Front) is preparing for a military operation against government forces in the Aleppo countryside. This comes in light of recent Israeli escalations in southern Lebanon and against Iranian sites in Syria.

Both Haitham Ali al-Tabtabai and Munir Ali Naim Shaito (Hajj Hashem) are integral figures within Hezbollah’s military leadership.

Over the years, Hezbollah has deployed many of its top military leaders to Syria to spearhead operations and manage sensitive missions. These figures are not only military commanders but also play key roles in regional planning and coordination with various forces. Two of the most prominent among them are Haitham Ali al-Tabtabai, the field commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, and Munir Ali Naim Shaito, also known as Hajj Hashem, who commands the Golan Front. These leaders have become prime targets for Hezbollah’s adversaries due to their influential roles in the ongoing conflict in the region.

Assad’s debt to Iran is substantial, both financially and politically, Omar Kaddour writes in al-Modon.

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria, including a rumoured strike on a villa linked to Hezbollah and Maher al-Assad, signal a heightened warning to the Assad regime. Israel has reportedly conveyed messages through Arab intermediaries, urging Assad not to intervene in the current conflict. While Assad’s military strength is insufficient to support Iran or Hezbollah directly, it’s clear that Tehran exercises significant influence over Syria, often acting independently of Assad’s authority.

After Yahya Sinwar, the man responsible for launching the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, took full control of Hamas over the summer, Arab intelligence officials say he sent a directive to a senior operative: Now is the time to revive suicide bombings.

A few days later, a bespectacled Palestinian entered Tel Aviv with a blue backpack loaded with explosives. Although the bomb exploded before the man reached his target, killing only him, the attack sent an unmistakable message.

• As Israel continues to prepare its response to Iran’s missile barrage, one of the target sets could include Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, including striking weaponization facilities, fuel enrichment plants, and/or research and development laboratories.
• In the event of a significant strike on Iran, the Supreme Leader may opt to pursue nuclear deterrence by developing a bomb.
• CIA Director William Burns recently reaffirmed that, while Iran has so far adhered to the Supreme Leader’s policy against pursuing a nuclear bomb, they are only about a week away from reaching the breakout time required to produce weapons-grade material for a single nuclear weapon.
• If Iran pursues a nuclear weapon, it could trigger an arms race in the Middle East, prompting other nations to follow suit in a bid to maintain regional balance.
