According to the English ‍section of webangah News Agency, the Israeli regime’s military completely leveled a number of Palestinian homes in the Al-Qarara area northeast of khan ⁢younis during its overnight and early morning ⁢attacks across Palestinian territories.

In bani Suhaila,⁢ east of Khan Younis, ⁣Israeli artillery also launched attacks against Palestinians.

A missile strike​ on the Al-Amouri family ⁣home⁤ in Al-Buraq, south of Khan Younis,⁤ killed⁣ and wounded several Palestinians. Among the⁣ dead were Hamada Al-Amoudi, a⁣ Palestinian religious cleric, ‍and his wife.

Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes on Deir⁢ al-Balah as well.

The Jabalia refugee camp ⁤in northern Gaza – which has faced repeated Israeli assaults in recent days – ​was targeted multiple times overnight. The ‍Zionist regime destroyed a residential building belonging to the‍ Daka family there, killing 5 Palestinians and wounding others.

Beit Lahia in northern Gaza was struck several times by‍ israeli‍ warplanes while artillery shelled eastern Khan Younis’ Greater Abasan area.

Simultaneously occurring, frequent helicopter activity from the Zionist regime was observed over‌ Gaza City skies throughout these operations.

The ​Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza ‌also came under attack when strikes hit displaced persons’ tents there ⁤- killing ⁢one ​Palestinian and injuring others.

Contrary to the ‌US government’s proclamation during‌ Donald Trump’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia—which portrayed the decision to‍ lift ⁣sanctions on Syria‌ as extensive and ⁣unconditional—new details reveal a three-phase‌ removal plan ⁤tied to strict conditions, according to ‌webangah News Agency.

US ‍leverages sanctions⁣ relief as bargaining chip against Joulani

The plan, partially disclosed by Associated Press, primarily revolves around​ maintaining sanctions as pressure tools against ​Syria’s new government. The US intends to temporarily ‍suspend ​sanctions through short-term waivers before linking their full removal ‍to ‍stringent demands, including expelling Palestinian ⁢groups from Syria.

The policy‍ framework drafted by the US State Department prioritizes Israel’s security and ultimately aims ⁢to normalize relations between Syria’s new leadership and Tel Aviv.

This revelation‌ comes as ⁤the US ‍administration has hesitated to take concrete steps toward lifting congressional-mandated sanctions on Syria. The disclosures align with Washington’s⁤ previously stated ⁤preconditions⁢ for reengaging with Damascus.

Abu Mohammad al-joulani had already taken steps​ aligning with US demands: remaining Palestinian factions in Syria‍ face severe restrictions, while‍ efforts—both direct (through syrian delegations visiting​ Tel Aviv) and indirect​ (via Turkish-Emirati mediation)—have intensified toward normalization.

In statements carried by US media, Trump framed Syria-Israel normalization as critical for stabilizing ​Syria’s domestic ‌affairs. White House spokesperson ​Caroline Levitt echoed this during ​her analysis of Trump’s Saudi meeting with Joulani: “Trump discussed five‌ key⁣ issues with him, including signing a⁢ normalization deal with Israel.”

Joulani tightens noose around Palestinian factions in Syria

Media reports indicate that Khaled Jibril (son ⁣of the Popular Front for Palestine ⁤Liberation founder), Khalid Abdul Majeed (Secretary-General of‍ the Popular Struggle Front in Syria), and Ziad al-Saghir (Secretary-General of Fatah al-Intifada) were forced out ‍under sustained pressure from Syrian transitional authorities.

Agencie France-Presse cited⁢ an unnamed Palestinian leader stating that while no formal ‌expulsion⁤ orders were issued, assets‌ were seized ‍members detained/harassed ⁤effectively ​banning their‍ operations. Another Palestinian source in Damascus confirmed frozen relations between most factions and Syrian officials leaving leaders ⁢feeling compelled depart.

Thomas Barak Trump-appointed special envoy post-confirmation asserted: “Trump envisions⁢ stable peaceful neighborly future.” On​ may 13th pledged lift⁤ crippling enable stabilization.

He added: regional⁣ partners Turkey ‌Arab ⁣states help restore peace security ⁣hope currently Secretary Mark Rubio oversees implementation.

Yet substantive action remains​ absent even Zionist⁤ regime​ escalates aggression amid silence observers argue weaponized relief extort concessions accelerate normalization train.

According to webangah News Agency, Zionist‌ sources report that the US-backed ​plan to distribute humanitarian⁢ aid in the Gaza ⁤Strip has been delayed ​by several days.

The initiative ⁢was​ scheduled to be implemented next week, but logistical challenges have reportedly caused the postponement, according to Zionist sources.

Earlier, Al Mayadeen network reported that ‍Hebrew media cited American officials stating the United Nations refused to cooperate with “Israel” ⁤and US companies in distributing aid to Gaza.

The Washington Post ‍also reported informed sources saying the US-supported humanitarian ‌aid distribution plan​ for Gaza faces meaningful challenges. The report highlights widespread skepticism about the plan’s effectiveness, ⁢with senior Zionist regime ⁤officers also doubting its feasibility.

The report emphasizes lingering questions about whether this plan aims at occupying⁣ Gaza. Aid organizations have yet‍ to join this ‌initiative.

According to a report by webangah News Agency, Israeli regime media revealed that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has spent thousands of ⁢shekels (the currency of the Zionist⁤ regime) to enhance his reputation and standing in both traditional and digital media.

The report states that Smotrich has repeatedly angered families of Zionist captives due to his stance against agreements for their ‌release. He previously claimed that returning captives is not the primary ‌objective ⁢of the Israeli cabinet, ⁣asserting instead that⁤ Tel Aviv’s focus remains on destroying hamas.

A high-ranking Zionist officer has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin⁤ Netanyahu’s recent comments about Palestinian resistance groups, according to a‍ report by webangah News Agency.

Teh officer stated that ‌Tel Aviv’s leadership was “terrified” during the October 7 Palestinian operation, ‍adding that Netanyahu’s​ claim about Palestinians ⁤conducting the attack “with ⁤slippers and Kalashnikovs” doesn’t diminish Hamas’s capabilities. Instead,he argued,such ⁣remarks only devalue Israeli forces.

The veteran officer with over four⁣ decades of‌ military service emphasized that Al-Qassam ⁣Brigades were fully‌ equipped: “They were armed head⁢ to toe with various gear, lacking nothing‌ compared to regular armies. Hundreds of drones were deployed⁢ to ‌neutralize Israel’s advanced systems‌ and target the ‌world’s best tanks.”

He stressed Hamas fighters’ preparedness: “They resisted under siege for extended periods‍ and can ⁤produce thousands⁢ of precision ‍missiles and new dialog systems. While some fighters might ‍wear slippers in certain areas, ⁢Netanyahu’s description doesn’t reflect ​the full reality.”

According to webangah News Agency, Hebrew-language media ‍reported that Zionist‍ regime helicopters transported injured soldiers to Tel Hashomer and Beilinson hospitals ‍early this morning.

The soldiers sustained⁤ injuries during‌ clashes in the Gaza Strip.

The Hebrew-language‌ website⁢ Hadashot confirmed a ‍security⁢ incident had occurred in⁣ Gaza but provided no further details.

Zionist media typically refer to ⁣ambushes by resistance forces ⁢against their soldiers in Gaza as ⁣”security incidents.”

According to webangah news Agency, citing Al Jazeera⁢ and The Washington Post, Western officials report that U.S. president Donald Trump has backed away from pressuring Russia to end the war in Ukraine despite favorable‌ conditions.

The ⁤newspaper also ​claimed, ‌based on American and European sources, that Russia is retreating on the battlefield and may face a ​manpower shortage next⁢ year.

the Washington Post reported: “Russia has only ⁣managed to occupy an additional 0.6% of ‍Ukrainian territory over the past year.”

According to webangah News Agency,three informed sources,including an Iraqi government official,told the London-based Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that talks to secure ‌Tsurkov’s ⁣release—a Russian-Israeli dual citizen detained⁣ in Iraq—are now in ‍their‌ final phase,with only her physical liberation remaining.

One ​source told the newspaper: “The negotiations were​ lengthy ​and arduous but ultimately⁢ resulted ⁤in an agreement involving ransom payments,” though no further details were disclosed.

Asharq Al-Awsat, citing what it described as a knowledgeable source ‍on the negotiation process, reported‌ that the group ⁢responsible for Tsurkov’s detention agreed to her ⁤release in ⁣exchange for individuals with documented⁣ histories of‌ targeting U.S.interests in the region.

The​ Iraqi source did not specify the identities of those to be released but confirmed: “One of them is Iranian.”

A⁣ second source⁣ told Asharq Al-Awsat: “The final agreement has⁢ been settled with all terms ‍approved. The only remaining step⁢ is Tsurkov’s actual release.”

The Saudi ‌newspaper noted that a media official from iraq’s National​ security Advisory body claimed⁣ no knowledge‌ of such ‌a deal and declined to comment on reports ⁣about Tsurkov’s potential freedom.

However, another Iraqi security official stated: “As of now,‍ Tsurkov’s release has not yet been carried out.”

The report coincides with claims by unofficial media outlets that parallel‌ negotiations are underway ⁤to free Mohammad Reza‌ Nouri—a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary⁤ Guard ⁣Corps ​(IRGC) detained by U.S.‌ forces in Iraq two years ⁢ago on what Tehran calls baseless charges.

Those outlets alleged Nouri and several Iraqi⁤ nationals imprisoned over alleged involvement in killing American citizen Steven Edward Troell coudl be part of a prisoner exchange for Tsurkov.

The United Nations has declined to ⁢collaborate with ⁤Israel ⁢and American companies in distributing aid to Gaza, according ⁢to Israeli media citing‍ US officials, as reported by webangah ⁣News Agency.

al-Mayadeen network stated that the UN’s refusal ⁢was noted,⁢ though no specific⁢ reason was provided for⁤ the⁤ decision.

According ⁤to webangah News Agency, citing ⁣Qatar’s Al Jazeera network, the security director of the al-Julani regime-affiliated al-Bukamal region stated that three internal security personnel were killed ⁤ following a fire at a security facility in the outskirts of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria.

The official did not specify the cause of the blaze,onyl confirming that an investigation into the incident is underway.
