Israeli Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis on Hezbollah flags at NYC protests:

"New York must choose: the United States of America or Iran and Hezbollah. The waving of the flags of Hezbollah, an Iranian affiliate that has murdered hundreds of Americans, at every demonstration of human savagery in New York City, must stop. Before it is too late for this city."

Israel's military struck around 100 Hezbollah positions across southern Lebanon over the weekend, hitting surveillance posts, weapons depots, and other infrastructure tied to attack planning. Operations extended into the Tyre area. Hezbollah responded with drone and mortar fire at Israeli forces in the past day. No injuries on the Israeli side.

The strike on Hamas military commander Izz al-Din Haddad was approved by Israel's political echelon about ten days ago, a senior Israeli security official says. He had been under continuous surveillance since, and was struck last night when an operational opportunity presented itself.

Haddad was the highest-ranking Hamas military leader still alive in Gaza and the last senior official who led the October 7 attack. A military source says he spent the war moving between hiding spots, using hostages, including female surveillance soldiers taken from the Nahal Oz base, as human shields against Israeli strikes.

The IAF hit the target shortly after Southern Command and Military Intelligence confirmed his position.

The FBI arrested and extradited Mohammad al-Saadi, a high-value target allegedly behind mass global terrorist attacks who was believed to be planning multiple hits in the U.S. Second FBI-led FTOC in 12 hours. CIRG tactical units, overseas partners, Ambassador Barrack, and DAG Todd Blanche coordinated the operation.

Iran’s Ghalibaf:

The world stands at the cusp of a new order.

As President Xi said “The transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe,” and I emphasize that the Iranian nation’s 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation.

The future belongs to the Global South.
