    CAIRO (AP) — When the first explosions in Gaza this week started around 1:30 a.m., a visiting British doctor went to the balcony of a hospital in Khan Younis and watched the streaks of missiles light up the night before pounding the city. A Palestinian surgeon next to him gasped, “Oh no. Oh no.” After two months of ceasefire, the horror of Israeli bombardment was back. The veteran surgeon told the visiting doctor, Sakib Rokadiya, they’d better head to the emergency ward. Torn bodies soon streamed in, carried by ambulances, donkey carts or in the arms of terrified relatives. What...

    Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Friday the U.S. should prepare for a “hard slap” if it dares challenge Tehran, after President Donald Trump warned of possible military action against the Islamic republic. “The Americans should know threats will get them nowhere when confronting Iran,” Khamenei said in his live annual televised speech marking Nowruz, the Persian New Year. AFP reports he said Americans “and others should know that if they do anything malign to the Iranian nation, they will get a hard slap.” The warning echoes a long standing Iranian opposition to everything the U.S. is involved in...

    Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants protesters to rise up across the U.S. and Europe and challenge the renewed Israeli military campaign in Gaza. The Times of Israel reports Khamenei made his call for action in a speech designed to rally anti-Israel activists everywhere, “to strongly oppose this treacherous, horrendous act.” “Once again children are being killed, homes are being destroyed, and civilians are being displaced. The people must stop this tragedy,” Khamenei says in a Nowruz address, according to an English transcript posted on his website.

    The two most famous swords in world history have the same thing in common: They probably weren’t real. Excalibur, the legendary blade of King Arthur, was purportedly stuck in a stone. Beneath it was the inscription: “Whoso pulleth out this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born of all England.” So one day, a precocious kid named Arthur yanked it out — instantly becoming the new king. Which meant, of course, that there was now a big stone with a sword-sized hole on the top. It probably became a tourist attraction: The locals could've jammed a cheap, plastic sword into...
  • The Houthis Want to Sink an Aircraft Carrier and I Can't Stop Laughing

    Last night, OSINTdefender reported that Iran-backed Houthi tribesmen again decided to attack a U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S Truman, and her strike group, currently conducting operations against the Houthis — and I can't stop laughing. I know I shouldn't but I really can't help it. Coddling can lead to certain delusions about one's capabilities and this is doubly true when one has been coddled by one's enemies. Presidentish Joe Biden spent more than a year coddling the Houthis, giving them the impression that maybe — just maybe — they could directly take on an aircraft carrier and sink...

In addition to Qatar providing Hamas with financial and diplomatic support, Qatar is also funding the ‘Palestinian’ propaganda war against Israel in America.

    For decades, commanders have dreamt of unlimited ammunition in the form of laser beamsIsrael has said it will deploy its Iron Beam this year, potentially beating most countries in fielding a high-powered laser defence system. Behind the claims – one analyst called it a “watershed” moment – there are important limitations of laser systems that could delay their widespread use. To illustrate how difficult it has been to turn a laser design into something that can be brought on to the battlefield, Iron Beam was announced by manufacturer Rafael at a defence show in Singapore in 2014. Eleven years later,...

    The U.S. military conducted wide-ranging air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday, President Trump said. Why it matters: It was the biggest wave of U.S. strikes in Yemen since Trump assumed office. A U.S. official said Saturday's strikes were not a one-off but the start of a series of "relentless" U.S. strikes against the Houthis that are expected to last for days or maybe even weeks. Driving the news: According to local reports in Yemen, numerous explosions took place in Sana'a around 1:30pm ET. Trump said the strikes were aimed at "terrorists' bases, leaders, and missile defenses." Behind...

    Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired surface-to-air [SAM] missiles at a US F-16 fighter jet over the Red Sea outside of rebel-controlled areas of Yemen in the first attack of its kind. The missile did not hit its target. U.S. military officials are describing the launch as a significant escalation in the Iran-backed group’s ongoing conflict with Israel’s allies in the war with Gaza. U.S. military ships are stationed in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait to defend and escort commercial ships in order to protect them from Houthi attacks, which started in earnest after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack...

    Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones. Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen...

    A missile launched from Yemen has landed in Egypt about 200 kilometers from Eilat, Doron Kadosh reported on Galai Tzahal (IDF Radio) this morning (Sunday). Israel is investigating the possibility that the missile was aimed at Israeli territory, but at this stage, they cannot confirm that with certainty. The missile fell in the Sharm el-Sheikh area. The report comes after the US on Saturday evening launched several strikes that targeted Houthi defense capabilities, as well as missile and drone systems. The strikes continued overnight, as the US military attacked dozens of times in Sanaa, Saada, and Marib. .....

    An Open Doors spokesperson warns that misleading reports online of a ‘slaughter of Christians’ in Syria could leave Syrian believers in danger. Open Doors supporters are among many around the world who are steadfastly praying for Syria, in the wake of recent violence. More than 1,500 people were killed in recent hostilities in Syria’s coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus, which began last Thursday (6 March). Most of those killed are civilians. The church in Syria is asking for urgent prayer as the country faces further turmoil. There have been reports on social media that Christians are particularly targeted in...
