The Israeli military says its forces have uncovered and destroyed multiple Hezbollah weapons storage sites inside the security zone in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, troops from the Golani Brigade recovered launchers, missiles, machine guns, explosives and other weapons before demolishing the storage facilities. The military also released footage showing the operation and the destruction of one of the sites.

The IDF says it has taken full operational control of the village of Haddatha in southern Lebanon after a month-long operation targeting what it described as a Hezbollah stronghold. According to the Israeli military, troops destroyed more than 90 Hezbollah infrastructure sites, killed more than 20 Hezbollah operatives, and recovered over 150 weapons, including RPGs, anti-tank missiles, machine guns and Kalashnikov rifles.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered one of his strongest statements yet on Israel's security strategy, warning that the country is prepared to strike Iran again if it believes a new nuclear threat is emerging. Netanyahu declared that Iran will never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons under his watch. He said Israel would not hesitate to launch a "third" military operation against Tehran if necessary, insisting that the country's campaign against Iran is "far from over." The Israeli leader also vowed to continue targeting what he described as the "Iranian axis," saying the struggle "never ends" and promising that Israel would keep acting until the threat posed by Iran and its regional allies is eliminated. Bibi also made headlines by calling for an end to US financial assistance for Israel. Describing American aid as a form of "welfare," he argued that Israel has reached a stage where it can finance its own defence and national priorities. He said he wants the transition away from US assistance to begin this year, emphasizing greater economic and strategic self-reliance. WATCH

A fragile diplomatic breakthrough in the West Asia is facing its biggest test yet as the United States and Iran exchange fresh military strikes following an attack on a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz. According to US Central Command, American forces carried out retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets after the attack on the commercial ship. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced strikes on US military positions across the region, describing them as retaliation for Washington's military action. US Vice President JD Vance defended the American response, saying the United States had honoured the preliminary agreement reached with Iran but made it clear that any further aggression would be met with force. "Violence will be met with violence," Vance warned, while urging Tehran to resolve outstanding disputes through dialogue instead of military escalation. WATCH

A fresh round of violence has erupted along the Israel-Lebanon border after Israeli soldiers were wounded in a grenade attack during military operations in southern Lebanon, further intensifying tensions as the regional conflict approaches the 1,000-day mark. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), officers and soldiers came under attack near Beit Yahoun when a gunman allegedly threw grenades and opened fire from inside a building. Israeli troops returned fire, and the attacker was later killed during the exchange. Following the incident, the IDF said forces from the 769th Brigade, supported by the 91st Division, carried out air and artillery strikes targeting what it described as Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Reports also indicated military activity around Beit Yahoun and Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa as cross-border hostilities continued. WATCH

The Israeli military is mourning another painful loss after Maj. Basil Sweid of the 7th Armored Brigade was killed when a military vehicle rolled over during an operation in southern Lebanon. The fatal incident comes amid an increasingly difficult week for Israeli forces, with multiple casualties reported across both the Lebanon and Gaza fronts. The Israel Defense Forces identified the fallen officer as Maj. Basil Sweid, a Druze reservist widely respected for his years of service and dedication to national defense. Tributes have poured in as colleagues, friends and members of the Druze community remember his contribution to the country's security. The tragedy unfolded during operational activity in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces continue to face persistent security challenges and attacks. The incident adds to a growing list of casualties suffered by Israel in recent days.

A massive explosion rocked southern Lebanon after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) demolished what it described as a major Hezbollah underground tunnel complex in the village of Majdal Zoun. According to the IDF, the 200-metre-long tunnel extended more than 25 metres underground and was used to assemble, store and launch Iranian-made drones. Israeli officials said hundreds of weapons, explosives, warheads and four launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory were discovered inside the complex. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, saying the United States and its representative in Lebanon were informed in advance. Residents in northern Israel were also warned that the blast could be powerful enough to trigger earthquake sensors.

Israel has released dramatic footage of a precision airstrike that, according to the IDF, eliminated Hezbollah militants armed with RPGs in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military said troops from the Egoz Unit identified the militants operating near the security zone in the Nabatiyeh area before guiding the Israeli Air Force to strike both the fighters and the building they were using. In a separate operation, Israeli forces also destroyed a Hezbollah launcher that the IDF said posed an immediate threat to its troops.The strikes came a day after Israel said it eliminated seven more Hezbollah militants accused of transferring combat equipment near the border.

The Israel-Hezbollah conflict has entered another deadly phase after a Hezbollah attack in southern Lebanon killed an elite Israeli soldier and wounded 13 others during an overnight military operation. The Israel Defense Forces identified the fallen commando as Sgt. First Class Nir Ben Ari of the elite Maglan Unit. According to the IDF, the troops were operating near the Ali Taher Ridge, targeting a major underground Hezbollah facility believed to house dozens of operatives, when they came under a coordinated rocket barrage and explosive drone attack before dawn. The assault left one soldier dead, two troops in serious condition, and 11 others wounded. The incident comes just a day after another deadly strike in the same area reportedly killed four Israeli soldiers. Israeli investigators now believe that attack was caused by either an anti-tank guided missile or a drone rather than an internal tank malfunction. WATCH

A new escalation has unfolded in the West Asia after Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz "closed," citing alleged Israeli violations of a recent ceasefire understanding in southern Lebanon. The announcement has heightened global concerns over one of the world's most strategically important shipping routes, with Iran's Revolutionary Guard warning vessels that their safety could be at risk if they continue transiting the waterway. Tehran described the move as the "first step" in response to what it claims are breaches of commitments by Israel and the United States. The development comes as fresh Israeli strikes reportedly killed at least 16 people in southern Lebanon, despite recent announcements of a ceasefire framework. Rescue operations remain underway in multiple areas affected by the attacks, while tensions continue to rise across the region. WATCH
