Israeli aistrikes have hit the headquarters of the body responsible for choosing Iran’s next supreme leader, according to Iranian and Israeli reports. Iran’s Tasnim news agency accused “American-Zionist criminals” of attacking the Assembly of Experts building in the city of Qom, south of Tehran. Footage shows significant structural damage, with parts of the compound reduced to rubble. The strike comes just days after Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint U.S.-Israeli strikes — a seismic event that has thrown the Islamic Republic into uncharted political territory. An Israeli defense source confirmed that the Israeli Air Force targeted a…

IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA) special forces successfully eliminated Hussein Fiad, the Commander of Hamas’ Beit Hanoun Battalion, in an underground area in Jabaliya. Fiad was a high-ranking terrorist responsible for launching numerous anti-tank missiles and mortar attacks on Israeli territory and communities near the northern Gaza Strip.

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, a source close to Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar has revealed that Sinwar views the latest hostage exchange and ceasefire proposal as a trap. The source quoted Sinwar as saying, “The proposal on the table to free the hostages is not an Egyptian proposal, but an Israeli one in an American disguise that contains several booby-trapped clauses.” The source also revealed that Hezbollah is pressuring Hamas to accept the deal, but Sinwar is reluctant as it does not guarantee an end to the war. This suggests a possible rift between Hamas…

During a press conference at the White House alongside Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, President Joe Biden emphasized the United States’ unwavering commitment to Israel’s security in the face of threats from Iran. “We also addressed the Iranian threat, as they threaten to launch a significant attack on Israel,” President Biden stated. “As I told Prime Minister Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again, ironclad. We’re going to do all we can to protect Israel’s security.” This assurance comes at a time when tensions between the…

A dinner hosted by UC Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and his wife, Professor Catherine Fisk, for graduating law students turned into a heated confrontation on Tuesday night. The incident occurred when a Palestinian American law student, Malak Afaneh, attempted to give a speech about the Israel-Hamas war and the university’s divestment from corporations involved in the conflict. Chemerinsky and Fisk asked her to leave, leading to a physical altercation and accusations of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hatred. The university has been embroiled in months of protests over the Israel-Hamas war, and the incident has sparked a debate over free…

A new in-depth survey conducted by the Pew Institute has shed light on the growing perception of discrimination against Jews and Muslims in the United States, particularly in the context of the Israel-Hamas war. The poll found a significant increase in the number of respondents who believe there is “a lot” of discrimination against Jews, from 20% in 2021 to 40% today. Similarly, the number of respondents who believe there is “a lot” of discrimination against Muslims rose from 39% to 44%. The survey also found that Jewish-American respondents are particularly aware of discrimination against their own community, with 72%…

The IDF has bolstered its air defense array and called up reservists in preparation for a potential Iranian response to a strike in Syria earlier this week that killed several high-ranking Iranian military officials. Iran and its proxy Hezbollah have vowed to retaliate against Israel for the attack. “I won’t be surprised if Iran fires directly at Israel,” former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin said, citing a precedent set by a January missile strike carried out by Iran on neighboring Pakistan. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israel is “increasing preparedness” in the face of threats from across the Middle…

A recent Gallup poll reveals a significant reversal in public opinion on Israel’s military campaign in Gaza against Hamas. The poll shows that 55% of respondents now disapprove of the military action, while 36% approve and 9% have no opinion. This marks a shift from the previous survey in November, where 50% approved and 45% disapproved. The poll’s results contrast with a recent Harvard-Harris poll, which showed robust support for Israel among Americans, with 79% backing the Jewish state over Hamas. Additionally, two-thirds of respondents in the Harvard-Harris poll believed Israel is trying to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza, and…

In an interview with the BBC, Itay Regev, a former Hamas hostage freed in late November, shared harrowing details of his captivity experience. Regev, kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, described his captors as “very, very vicious” and recounted the brutal treatment he received. Regev recalled the terrifying kidnapping, where terrorists sprayed fleeing vehicles with bullets “without any mercy,” injuring him and his sister Maya. He shared the heart-wrenching moment when Maya said goodbye, fearing she wouldn’t survive. “I saw my sister Maya injured and crying. Maya also that day said goodbye to me and told me…
