Israel ignores Iran's threats: "Acting with full force"

Iran's warning that a full-scale Israeli operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon would lead to a "war of annihilation" has not deterred Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz.

In a post on X, Katz writes that Israel will act "with full force" if Hezbollah does not stop its attacks on the country and withdraw from southern Lebanon.

"A regime that threatens destruction deserves to be destroyed," writes Katz

Sources: Putin wants to provide the Houthi movement with robots

Putin has asked Saudi Arabia for permission to hand over cruise robots to the Huthi movement in Yemen, writes the Moscow Times.

The information must originally come from the US intelligence service.

- If I were the Houthis, supersonic cruise missiles would be very high on my shopping list. And the Russians have pretty good cruise missiles for ship targets, Fabian Hinz, an expert on ballistic and cruise robots at the International Institute for Strategic Studies think tank, told Middle East Eye.

According to the newspaper's information, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman initially said no to Russia's request.

The Houthi rebels were at war with Saudi Arabia until 2022. Since last November, they have been using drones and robots to attack ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis claim that the attacks are carried out in support of Palestine during the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Swedish researcher follows Gaza's destruction via space

With the help of newly taken satellite images of Gaza, Lina Eklund, researcher at Lund University, analyzes the destruction in the wake of the war in Gaza every week. Aftonbladet writes that.

Eklund is part of the international research group Decentralized damage mapping group (DDMG). According to the researchers, 60 percent of Gaza has been destroyed in the bombings since last October - 170,000 buildings. It is on a "completely different level" compared to previous escalations in the conflict, says Eklund and compares to how 1,700 buildings were destroyed in 2021.

- We cannot show everything that can be shown if you are there. But what we can support, or go against, are the reports that come from inside Gaza or from Israel, says Eklund, researcher in natural geography and ecological science.
