Key Points – Israel’s F-16I “Sufa” (Storm) multi-role fighters likely played a crucial role in “Operation Rising Lion,” the massive air assault on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure that began on June 12th.
-Flying alongside F-35I and F-15I jets, the F-16Is surely launched follow-on strikes against hardened targets like the Natanz enrichment facility, using precision-guided munitions such as the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb.

Un média hébreu a cité un membre de la Knesset accusant Tel-Aviv d’avoir «négligé le front civil» tout au long de la guerre, responsable d’une émigration massive.

On October 13, 2025, at Israel’s Knesset (Parliament) in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in the company of US President Donald J. Trump, declared the war in Gaza over.
Oh, really? Sadly, the probability of an enduring peace with Hamas or allied Islamists appears close to zero. After all, in Netanyahu’s words, Israel is dealing with “monsters.”
The question of what should happen to the terrorists who committed the October 7 massacre remains at large. Now, after the release of the final living hostages, it will finally begin to be answered.
The last living hostages are home. Many have already left the hospital. The images of their reunions with loved ones are still fresh in the nation’s mind. A sense of relief is still palpable.
La vaste campagne de sécurité menée par le Hamas pour éliminer les gangs armés qui ont collaboré avec l’armée israélienne pendant la guerre s’intensifie. «Nos opérations les élimineront tous, sans exception», a déclaré une source sécuritaire du Hamas à Mondoweiss.
À présent, la vidéo est devenue virale. Des hommes armés masqués affiliés au Hamas dans le camp de réfugiés de Nuseirat, au centre de Gaza, alignent un groupe d’hommes aux mains liées tandis que des spectateurs se rassemblent autour d’eux.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is touting its decision to conditionally ratify the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) as a diplomatic breakthrough and a signal that Tehran is finally ready to cooperate with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). In doing so, it may regain access to the global financial system. The move is nothing of the sort, and no one should buy it.

Hamas’s actions also demonstrate that the terror group is determined to exploit the current ceasefire to reassert its control over the Gaza Strip.
The issue of centralization and decentralization in Syria is a structural issue that goes beyond intellectual debate to touch the essence of state reconstruction, defining the features of national identity and the form of governance. Centralization, although considered by some to be a guarantee of the unity of the country, experience has shown that it has deepened marginalization and weakened political participation. On the other hand, many political components view decentralization as a gateway to comprehensive institutional reform, but accelerating its adoption may threaten stability and sovereignty, especially in light of the complexities of the Syrian reality.
Gaza’s fragile ceasefire faced its first major test Sunday as Israeli forces launched a wave of deadly strikes, saying Hamas militants had killed two soldiers, and an Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory was halted.
