Israel has issued urgent evacuation orders across eleven towns in southern Lebanon, directing civilians to move beyond a 1,000-metre safety radius amid intensifying military operations. The Israel Defense Forces has warned of active “lethal zones” near positions linked to Hezbollah, citing immediate threats to civilian safety. The ongoing conflict has pushed the death toll beyond 2,500, with casualties rising amid relentless cross-border fire. Meanwhile, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has signaled readiness for a broader confrontation, accusing the United States of non-compliance and warning of potential renewed hostilities. The situation continues to escalate, raising fears of a wider regional conflict involving Iran and allied forces. WATCH

Vice President JD Vance was interrupted during a Turning Point USA event, facing direct accusations over the ongoing Gaza conflict. What began as a policy-driven speech quickly turned into a tense exchange, with an audience member shouting claims about civilian casualties and US involvement. Outside the venue, protesters gathered in large numbers, holding religious signs and voicing strong opposition to US foreign policy and Israel’s actions in Gaza. Amid the political firestorm, a deeply personal issue took center stage. Vance strongly pushed back against criticism aimed at Erika, who has been facing public scrutiny following the loss of her husband. Addressing the issue head-on, Vance called the accusations “disgusting”, drawing a clear line between political disagreement and personal attacks.
