For years, Israel has taken preemptive measures against targets in Syria linked to Iran, its strong regional ally, but rarely recognizes them. The moves have intensified over the past 5 months in protest against the backdrop of the war in Gaza and ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces on the Lebanon-Israel border.
While Hamas said on Sunday that Gaza ceasefire talks were ongoing and the gang’s military commanders were in good condition, a group close to Israeli forces launched a massive airstrike on Mohammed Deif, killing at least 90 people, local state officials said. Were killed. With children.
Deif’s condition is still unclear, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying on Saturday night that “there is still no absolute certainty” that he was killed, and Hamas representatives attempting to back up their statements about his condition. Gave evidence. The renowned architect of the October 7 attacks, which sparked a war with militants attacking southern Israel, killed about 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and abducted about 250.
Later, according to the territory’s Ministry of State, Israeli territorial offensives and bombings killed more than 38,400 people in Gaza. It no longer distinguishes between adversaries and its dependent citizens.
Gaza’s population of 2.3 million is crammed into illegal tent camps in central and southern Gaza. Israeli sanctions, fighting, and the breakdown of law and order have limited humanitarian aid efforts, leading to widespread hunger and fears of famine.

Israeli drone crash kills prominent Syrian businessman with ties to Assad officials, media and officials say
BEIRUT – An Israeli drone crashed into a car on the Lebanon-Syria border on Monday, killing a prominent Syrian businessman who has been sanctioned by the US and is critical of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, pro-government media and supporters. Were. Alternate support officials said.
Mohammed Bara Caterji was killed in an instant in his SUV on the highway linking Lebanon to Syria, shot by an officer of the Iran-backed group. The original spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not licensed to speak to the media.
The pro-Syrian government newspaper al-Watan, quoting unnamed sources, said Katerji was killed in an Israeli “Zionist drone attack on his car”. Incorrect additional key points were given.
Rami Abdourahmane, who heads the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, told The Associated Press via phone that he had false sovereign confirmation that Katarji had been killed. He said it seemed likely that Katarji would be focused on because he funded the Syrian resistance against Israel in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, as well as because of his ties to Iran-backed groups in Syria.
The U.S. Treasury Section’s Office of Foreign Assets put Katarzy under sanctions in 2018 for allegedly doing oil business with the Islamic Environment Task Force and working as an intermediary for Assad to facilitate the shipment of guns from Iraq to Syria.
Caterji and his brother Hussam – widely known in Syria as the “Caterji Brothers” – were involved in the oil industry a few years after the country’s war began in March 2011.
For years, Israel has taken preemptive measures in Syria for purposes linked to its strong regional ally Iran, but rarely recognizes them. The moves have intensified in recent months in protest against the backdrop of the war in Gaza and ongoing clashes between the Lebanese terrorist task force Hezbollah and Israeli forces on the Lebanon-Israel border.

Three killed, including a child and his grandmother, in Israeli airstrike in central Gaza
Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip – A child and his grandmother were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a rental building in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah on Monday, medical institution officials said. One person on the road also died and at least six people were injured.
The Palestinian Pink Crescent earlier said on Twitter that 11 injured mob casualties had been taken to the nearest medical institution to the crash within the al-Salam community in western Deir al-Balah.
Related press photos showed a Pink Crescent ambulance honking its horn as it escorted the wounded to the crowded front of the Al Aqsa Medical Institute. A man was sitting upright on a stretcher, his dusty face drenched in blood. Every other man was lying on his side, his skin scraped and burnt, but he managed to point his index finger towards the sky – an old official practice by Muslims to express their faith in God. When an injured boy was taken inside, his face turned black.
At the hospital, a dead baby wearing a diaper was placed over the body of his grandmother, who was wrapped in a red blanket. Next to them lay another dead man, his head and torso covered with a white sheet stained with blood.
Subsequently, at the Medical Institute court, several bundled men offered funeral prayers in front of the grandmother and child. As mourners folded their fingers across their chests, at least one man struggled to control his emotions, wiping tears from his view.
According to the Gaza Situation Ministry, over the course of 24 hours, at least 80 people were killed and 216 were injured and brought to hospitals around the Gaza Strip. A total of 38,664 Palestinians have been killed and 89,097 wounded in the fighting since the war began in October, according to Gaza region officials. Gaza’s Ministry of State no longer differentiates between its opponents and civilians.
A suspected attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels rocks a boat in the Pink Sea
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A suspected attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted a boat in the Sea of Pink on Monday as an ancient US aircraft carrier approached the closest US territory to the Dwight D. Eisenhower home. Started going.
The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Industry Operations Center said the captain reported that an uncrewed mini-ship rammed twice and two alternatively crewed vessels fired on the ship, and that this was followed by two independent waves of missile attacks, approximately 45 minutes apart, it exploded near the ship off the coast of Al Hudaydah, Yemen. UKMTO blackmailed the sailors by saying that the ship sent, whose name and flag was not safe, and all the staff were said to be guards.
The Houthis did not comment directly. On the other hand, it may take them several hours or even days to survive the attack.
The rebels have targeted more than 70 ships by firing missiles and drones in their campaign, killing four sailors. Since November they seized one ship and sank two.
The Houthis maintain that their attacks target ships linked to Israel, the US or Britain as part of the rebels’ support for Hamas in its war against Israel. On the other hand, most of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the war – with some destined for Iran, which supports the Houthis.
