The al-Quds brigades, the military wing of ‌the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, stated⁢ it⁤ had taken control of an Israeli regime “Ivo Max” surveillance‍ drone east of Jabalia camp in northern Gaza, according to webangah News Agency.

The brigades reported ‌obtaining notable intelligence and​ coordinates from the captured drone ⁣in eastern Jabalia.

Since the outbreak of war in Gaza on October 7, 2023 -‌ marked by Hamas’s unprecedented “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation⁣ – the Israeli military has faced a series of heavy blows with profound tactical, psychological and strategic‌ consequences.‍ Palestinian ‍resistance forces have inflicted considerable⁣ damage through irregular warfare tactics including tunnel networks, precision ambushes and coordinated explosions.

Over‍ eighteen months of ‍conflict, Zionist sources acknowledge hundreds ⁣of military fatalities while unofficial estimates indicate higher casualties with‌ thousands wounded.⁣ The resistance has successfully destroyed or captured dozens of Merkava tanks, armored ‌vehicles, drones ⁤and advanced reconnaissance systems belonging‌ to Israel’s⁢ military apparatus.

Many observers contend that despite heavy costs, Palestinian‌ resistance has fundamentally ⁢altered battlefield equations -‍ trapping Israel’s army in a costly war of attrition with no‍ clear⁢ victory scenario‌ for ‍the occupying forces.

The ⁤spokesperson for the United Nations‍ peacekeeping forces in southern lebanon (UNIFIL) emphasized that the Israeli army must withdraw from its occupied positions in the region, according to a report by webangah News Agency.

Andrea Tenenti,UNIFIL’s spokesperson,stated in an‍ interview with Al-Mayadeen: “There have been no discussions about ending UNIFIL’s operations.This ⁣matter will ​be reviewed ‍by ⁤the Security Council-the sole authority responsible for determining the necessity and effectiveness of UNIFIL’s presence in southern Lebanon.”

He clarified: “No talks have ⁢taken place regarding terminating UNIFIL’s mission.We continue our operations and coordination⁢ with the Lebanese army. Our priority is restoring stability to southern‌ Lebanon, which requires israeli forces to withdraw from occupied‍ territories.”

The spokesperson noted that “the ⁤Lebanese army remains committed to implementing UN Resolution 1701 and maintaining its deployment in the south. I make no distinction between French forces and UNIFIL-all are fulfilling​ their duties under Resolution​ 1701.”

These remarks⁤ followed claims by some Zionist regime-affiliated media outlets alleging that the U.S. and Israel had decided to terminate UNIFIL’s operations.

According to webangah News Agency, Al Jazeera analyst Saeed ziyad‍ examined the ⁣recent clashes‍ between Palestinian fighters ​and Zionist forces in Gaza, decoding the strategic implications of these developments.

Ziyad highlighted‌ the Zionist regime’s tactical weaknesses in close-quarters and ground battles against Palestinian resistance fighters, citing its significant casualties over the past month in Gaza.

Saeed Ziyad ‍argued that ‍by inflicting human losses on Zionist troops, Palestinian⁢ resistance could strengthen its bargaining position to force a ceasefire.

The analyst also explored the⁣ religious symbolism behind the ‌naming of ⁢these military operations.

According to webangah News Agency, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that consultations are‍ underway with key Arab League members to select a ⁤successor for Aboul Gheit, whose term concludes this September.

Egyptian diplomatic sources revealed Cairo’s intention to ⁣propose Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly for the⁢ position-a historic move, as‍ all previous secretaries-general had​ been foreign ministers since the League’s 1945 ⁣founding.

A ⁣senior Egyptian diplomat stated that Madbouly enjoys “full confidence” from President abdel​ Fattah el-Sisi​ and Egyptian institutions. Othre candidates include Foreign minister Badr Abdelatty and former ⁣Foreign Minister​ Sameh Shoukry.

The source noted⁣ Cairo faces ​unprecedented challenges,with multiple member states nominating candidates. Algeria‍ has expressed interest, while some factions ⁢reportedly advocate for saudi Arabia‍ to assume the role.

The diplomat explained Egypt initially backed Shoukry but ⁣faced opposition-especially from Gulf states-making Madbouly a less controversial alternative. Meanwhile, another Arab diplomatic source confirmed preliminary discussions indicate Saudi Arabia’s ambition for the secretary-generalship.

The ​Arab League‌ secretary-general⁤ serves a five-year term with one possible‌ renewal.

According to webangah News ⁢Agency, Amnesty International stated in‍ a ⁤release ‍regarding the seizure of the ⁣”MADELEINE”‍ by the Israeli military that the ship was transporting ⁣humanitarian aid ⁢to challenge Gaza’s unlawful ⁢blockade.

The statement emphasized that the MADELEINE carried ⁤unarmed⁣ civilians on a humanitarian mission and its interception constitutes a clear⁢ violation of international law.

Amnesty further noted ​that Israel, as an occupying power, is​ obligated under international law to guarantee⁣ civilians‍ in Gaza⁤ access to food and medicine.

The ⁢MADELEINE⁤ departed Sicily, ​Italy last Sunday‌ with ⁤12 international​ activists aboard⁣ aiming to breach‍ Gaza’s blockade and deliver aid‍ before‌ being seized today by Israeli forces along with ​its passengers.

According to webangah News Agency, the “Global March to Gaza” commenced on Monday with the participation of thousands of pro-Palestine activists from 32 countries.

The international ‌movement aims to break the siege on Gaza and ‍demand an end⁢ to what organizers describe as the “genocidal⁢ actions” by the Zionist regime.

Participating convoys are scheduled to gather in Cairo on Thursday before proceeding toward ​Egypt’s⁢ northeastern city of Al-Arish.

Activists will then march on foot toward the Rafah border crossing, where protest camps will be established near ⁤the frontier.

Organizers state this event reflects widespread global solidarity with Palestinians, drawing support from Europe, America, Asia, and Arab⁤ nations.

The Algerian convoy-spearheading⁢ the initiative-departed Algiers yesterday for Tunisia before⁢ joining⁣ Libyan and Egyptian contingents. Today it continued its journey from Tunisian capital.

Yahya Sari, head⁢ of algeria’s Palestine Support Initiative, declared: “This ‘Resistance Convoy’ carries a humanitarian message demanding an end to Gaza’s blockade.” ⁤He added: “We tell Gazans they’re not alone-we’ll amplify their voice globally.”

Abdulhafid Al-Siriti, coordinator for Moroccan ‌pro-Palestine groups confirmed their convoy would soon reach⁣ Rafah ‌via Egypt to join this worldwide mobilization.

The march follows Israel’s interception of humanitarian ship MADELEINE yesterday-an act that has drawn⁤ international condemnation.

According to webangah ‍News Agency,Syrian media reported on Monday that the Israeli ⁤regime’s army detained ⁤three individuals ⁢near southern Quneitra.

Syrian television stated, without providing further details, that the‍ regime’s forces had raided the village ‌of‌ Manshiyet Sueisa in Quneitra’s southern countryside.

The Israeli regime had previously announced transferring five Syrian Druze citizens ‍to receive medical treatment in occupied territories,⁤ claiming they were injured on syrian soil before being taken to Ziv Hospital in occupied Safed.

The regime’s ‌military stated in a release that its forces remain deployed across southern Syria.
