Morag Axis
✅It cuts across Gaza between the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis.
✅This move effectively links the Philadelphi Route along the Egyptian border to Morag, creating a wider Israeli-controlled “security zone.”
✅The Morag corridor joins other key zones under Israeli control, including the Philadelphi and Netzarim corridors.
✅The Philadelphi Corridor refers to a narrow strip of land along Gaza’s border with Egypt that has been under Israeli control since 2024.
✅Together with expanded buffer zones, these give Israel control of over 50% of Gaza’s territory

“In your darkest moment, the divine in you awakens.
Don’t break — transform.”
“यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदाऽअत्मानं सृजाम्यहम्॥”
"Whenever dharma declines and adharma rises,
I manifest Myself."
Meaning for Aspirants:
When confusion rises…
When your faith starts to tremble…
When you forget why you started
That’s when your true purpose is reborn.
Not every storm comes to destroy.
Some storms are Krishna in disguise
Waking you up from self-doubt.
So if you’re struggling today,
It doesn’t mean you're weak
It means you’re about to rise stronger than ever.
Don’t break — transform.”

Since yesterday after the UPSC CSE results were published and everyone was busy in Toppers and their talks.
This morning brings with it not just news, but an unbearable tragedy—
26 innocent civilians lost their lives in a brutal terror attack on our soil.
26 dreams, 26 families, 26 worlds—shattered in a moment of hate.
This is not just a number. These were people—mothers, fathers, daughters, sons—whose only fault was being at the wrong place at the wrong time:((
Radicalisation. Hatred. Extremism.
They must end.
India will respond. Fiercely. Decisively.
Today, while we scroll through success stories, let us also remember the screams behind the silence.
Let us pause. Let us feel. Let us pray.
Take 2 minutes—
Close your eyes, fold your hands, and send a prayer for the departed souls.
Om Shanti 🕉️
May peace find them, even if the world failed to.
