The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced on October 15 that it held a trial to solicit technologies for countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched by Iran-backed proxies. The ministry said that eight large and small companies participated in the trials, including Elbit Systems, Rafael, and Israel Aerospace Industries and startup firms. “After analyzing the trial results, the Defense Ministry will select several technologies to enter an accelerated development and production process,” the ministry’s announcement said. “This aims to deploy new operational capabilities within months.”

Israel announced Thursday that its soldiers have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a routine patrol in the southern Gaza Strip. Hamas confirmed the death a day later, adding that Sinwar had “died fighting and confronting the occupation army.” No official successor has been named.

Le vice-secrétaire général du Hezbollah cheikh Naim Qassem a prononcé ce mardi un discours qui a été retransmis par la télévision. C’est sa 3ème allocution depuis le martyre de son éminence Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah.

Il a commencé son discours en s’adressant au Grand martyr Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah :

Contrairement à une idée reçue, l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies n’a accepté l’adhésion d’Israël que sous condition (résolution 273). Or, Tel-Aviv n’a jamais respecté ses engagements. Il refuse d’appliquer 229 résolutions du conseil de Sécurité et de l’assemblée générale. Il vient de déclarer une agence de l’ONU «organisation terroriste», a appelé à raser son siège à New York, a désigné persona non grata son secrétaire général António Guterres, et vient d’attaquer quatre fois les forces de l’ONU au Liban (FINUL), blessant deux casques bleus.

Israël va poursuivre ses massacres pour atteindre ses objectifs immédiats, mais à long terme, le contrecoup du génocide condamne déjà l’État sioniste.

Le génocide d’Israël a alimenté les rangs de la résistance palestinienne, transformé Israël et les USA en parias méprisés, qui gagneront sans doute cette manche, mais ont signé à terme leur propre arrêt de mort.

Since the mid-1990s, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have established a stronghold in the UK, despite the British government’s decision in 2001 to designate Hamas (including its political wing) as a terrorist organization.

Iran’s nuclear program and missile arsenal have garnered increased international scrutiny amid its flaring conflict with Israel.

Introduction

Many foreign policy experts warn that if Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons, it would be broadly destabilizing for the Middle East and nearby regions. A first-order concern is that Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons would pose a major, perhaps existential threat to Israel, its longtime foe. Other foreign policy experts say Iran would be assuring its own demise if it were to launch a nuclear strike on Israel, a close U.S. defense partner and possessor of its own nuclear weapons arsenal, which is undeclared. Either way, there would be a dangerous potential for miscalculation that could result in a nuclear exchange, analysts say.

Since the HAMAS attack on Israel on 7 October, 20231 and the ensuing war in Gaza, many countries have seen an unprecedented rise in reported antisemitic incidents.1 Dozens of research and policy reports have since been published, many of them aiming to count and map the extent of these antisemitic incidents.2 Other reports have focused particularly on the online dimension of antisemitism since 7 October.3 Few reports, if any, have aimed at identifying and understanding the key antisemitic actors behind many of
these incidents.

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.
