Israeli intel lapses? Seized documents show Hamas's terrorists take part in a military parade to mark anniversary of the 2014 war with Israal.

Captured Hamas documents reveal years of meticulous intelligence gathering on Israeli border towns, exposing blind spots in Israel’s security and intelligence efforts that experts say were exploited.

In a recent reveal, Israel’s Channel 12 News exposed documents that were found during the ground operation that showed years of effort on Hamas’s part to gather intelligence about border towns and villages in Israel, including the movements and habits of leading local figures and security officers. Through meticulous information-gathering, Hamas was not only able to execute a surprise offensive but a precise one.

Ukrainian air force doesn’t have a lot of Sukhoi Su-25 attack jets left. But the ones it does have are still in the fight as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds toward its fourth year.

World news: Egypt, China in big trouble as Israel want to build another Suez Canal for….it will run from…The proposed route map for the canal includes the central Gaza Strip. It will start in Gaza and join the Gulf of Aqaba.

January 5, 2025Egypt, China in big trouble as Israel want to build another Suez Canal for…, it will run from...Tel Aviv: Amid ongoing war in Gaza, Israel is preparing to create an alternative to the Suez Canal. It would named Ben Gurion Canal, canal will connect Mediterranean Sea to Arabian Sea, serving as substitute for Suez Canal. This raises question of why Israel wants to create an alternative to Suez Canal. As per experts, the 15-mth-long war in Gaza is not only an existential struggle between Israel & the Palestinians also a global geo-economic war between US & its adversaries, specially China. In this context, Israel, with help of America, wants to create an alternative canal that would not be under the control of Middle Eastern countries.

Fresh Israeli Strikes in Yemen as Houthi Threat Persists:  Israeli Air Force carried out new strikes against Houthi rebel “military targets” in Yemen on January 10 after Houthis launched three drones at Tel Aviv area. The IDF said it had struck targets on Yemen’s western coast as well as “deep” inland in response to “repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel,” including 320 drones and approximately 40 surface-to-surface missiles since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, atrocities.

Raid Targets Houthi Ports and Power Station: Among the locations struck by the IDF were the ports of Hodeida and Ras Isa, both of which were targeted by Israel during prior waves of strikes in December 2024. Additionally, IDF attacked the Hezyaz power station on the outskirts of Yemen’s capital Sana’a, a plant it had previously struck on December 26, which serves as a “central source of energy” for the Houthis, according to Israeli statements. The strike in Sana’a occurred as thousands of Houthi supporters gathered for a pro-Hamas protest, prompting Foreign Minister Israel Katz to observe that participants “heard up close the power of the Air Force planes.”

Israeli airstrikes on homes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 17 Palestinians, health officials said Tuesday. Earlier strikes in Gaza killed at least 18 people, including two women and four children, according to local health officials, who said one woman was pregnant and the baby died as well.

The fresh attacks came as Israel and Hamas appeared to be narrowing in on a ceasefire deal to end the 15-month war and release dozens of hostages.

Two officials involved in the talks told The Associated Press that Hamas has accepted a draft agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of dozens of hostages. An Israeli official said progress has been made but the details are being finalized.

Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023, when militants stormed into southern Israel and killed about 1,200 people and abducted around 250. A third of the 100 hostages still held in Gaza are believed to be dead.

The Israel Hamas-war has killed more than 46,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to health authorities there. The Health Ministry does not distinguish between fighters and civilians, but says women and children make up more than half the fatalities.
