Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group has announced a new phase in its fight against Israeli troops, unveiling new weapons including precision-guided missiles and explosive drones. This comes as Israel claims to have killed top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, sparking hope for an end to the conflict.
Hamas indirectly confirmed Sinwar's death, stating that killing their leaders will not halt the Palestinian struggle. Meanwhile, Israel reported killing two militants who crossed into southern Israel from Jordan, and is set to indict a Palestinian from East Jerusalem for planning an attack on a protest in Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah's operations room revealed the use of new weapons, including a drone attack on an Israeli military camp and firing a new missile towards Tel Aviv. The group also shot down two Israeli drones this week, as they prepare to battle invading Israeli troops in south Lebanon.
Iran commemorated Sinwar, praising his resistance and vowing to continue the fight against occupation and aggression. The statement drew parallels to Saddam Hussein's downfall and highlighted Sinwar as a symbol of inspiration for the liberation of Palestine.
The region remains tense as conflicting reports and actions unfold, with both sides gearing up for potential escalations in the ongoing conflict.
