On December 1, shortly before 07:00 hours Tel Aviv time, Hamas or a Hamas-aligned militia fired several rockets toward Holit, Israel, from the Gaza Strip. This was after an air raid alert was issued to several settlements in southern Israel around 06:00 hours.
A few minutes after 07:00 hours, Israel announced that Hamas had not provided a list of names of the hostages to be released on De...

This started as a flash report, but there was a lot of news and a lot of disinformation to untangle.
Israel and Hamas traded fresh allegations of cease-fire breaches, with the IDF claiming they killed three Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip after they were attacked. Hamas claims that the people killed were civilians and were killed without provocation. We maintain...

Later in the day, Israel accused Hamas militants of ambushing Israeli units with IEDs in three separate incidents. The IDF claimed there were several minor injuries, and their soldiers...

Ukrainian combat potential is, for the most part, exhausted due to a combination of factors, and it is highly unlikely that Ukraine will launch large-scale offensive operations before June 2024. It isn’t objective to look at the Ukrainian offens...
