Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since ending the ceasefire with Hamas in March. Satellite images and verified videos reveal extensive, deliberate destruction, including intact homes, schools, and mosques. Legal experts suggest these actions may constitute war crimes under international law. Israel claims the demolitions target Hamas infrastructure hidden in civilian areas, but many affected zones lie deep within Gaza. Humanitarian law experts argue that destroying entire neighborhoods without strict military necessity violates the Geneva Conventions and risks long-term harm to civilians.

A 35-day-old infant has died of starvation at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as Israel’s blockade continues to restrict humanitarian aid. On the same day, two more people reportedly died from malnutrition-related causes. Meanwhile, at least 116 Palestinians were killed in ongoing Israeli airstrikes, including 38 individuals who were shot near a relief center operated by the U.S.-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

According to aid organizations, more than 17,000 children are now suffering from severe malnutrition, with growing fears of an impending famine. International agencies are urgently calling for the blockade to be lifted to prevent further humanitarian catastrophe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a phone call to discuss the worsening situation in Syria. Erdoğan warned against Israeli violations of Syria’s sovereignty and stressed that renewed conflict could endanger regional stability. The Kremlin stated both leaders emphasized dialogue and national unity to stabilize Syria. They also discussed the Ukraine war and possible peace talks in Istanbul. Meanwhile, the U.S. envoy to Turkey confirmed a ceasefire between Israel and Syria, welcomed by Turkey, Jordan, and other regional neighbors.

In Rafah, southern Gaza, Israeli forces fired on a crowd of starving Palestinian civilians gathered near a US- and Israel-supported aid center, killing at least 25 and injuring over 70. Since October 2023, Israeli operations in Gaza have killed over 58,000 Palestinians and injured around 140,000. The conflict escalated after a Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, leading to ongoing military actions and a brief ceasefire that ended in March 2025. The IDF continues efforts to rescue hostages held by Hamas.

Yemen’s armed forces claimed responsibility for a hypersonic missile strike on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport using the “Palestine-2” missile. The strike reportedly caused mass evacuations and halted flight operations. Yemen described it as retaliation against Israel’s actions in Gaza and pledged continued operations until the blockade ends. Israeli media confirmed the airport’s temporary closure and urged nearby residents to seek shelter. This marks the second missile launch from Yemen toward Israeli-occupied territory within 48 hours.

Israel is suspected of launching attacks in Syria, including near Damascus, under the pretense of protecting the Druze minority in Suwayda. Syrian politician Tarek Ahmed claims it was a strategic move to destabilize and remove interim President Ahmed Shara. He suggests Shara was misled by promises of peace. With increasing regional tensions, Ahmed warns of serious security risks and long-term consequences, saying Israel’s actions could reshape Syria’s power dynamics and possibly plunge the region into deeper chaos.

International criticism of Israel's Gaza offensive is intensifying, with countries like the UK, Canada, and France imposing sanctions on Israeli ministers. The "Hague Group," a coalition of Global South nations, is coordinating diplomatic and legal efforts against Israel. Public opinion is shifting worldwide, with rising protests, boycotts, and legal cases, including a genocide charge at the ICJ. Even within Israel, anti-war activism and military refusals are growing. Despite continued U.S. support, Israel faces increasing global isolation and economic pressure.

Syria and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire following intense airstrikes and ethnic violence in Suwayda province, with the U.S. acting as mediator. The ceasefire was welcomed by Turkey, Jordan, and regional neighbors. Israel claimed its strikes aimed to protect the Druze community, amid deadly clashes involving Druze, Bedouins, and Syrian forces. Syria’s interim president warned against Israeli interference but said Syria seeks peace. Special forces have been deployed to Suwayda to restore order after over 100 deaths in recent violence.

Israel has rejected a ceasefire proposal from Hamas that included the release of all hostages. In a video message, Abu Obaida, spokesperson for the Qassam Brigades, stated that the Netanyahu government has shown no willingness to end the war. He added that Hamas will not accept any partial agreement.

According to Hamas, only a comprehensive agreement ensuring a permanent ceasefire, complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and unrestricted humanitarian aid access will be acceptable. Abu Obaida declared that Hamas is prepared for a prolonged conflict and will continue its operations to expel Israeli forces from Gaza. He also criticized the silence of Arab and Muslim nations regarding the crisis.

Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated during a dinner event that an additional 10 hostages could soon be released from Gaza.

At least 41 people were killed and 110 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Friday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The latest attacks bring the total death toll to 58,667 since Israel launched its military campaign in October 2023 in response to Hamas’ assault on October 7. The number of injured has now reached 139,974. Although a ceasefire was announced in January, hostilities resumed in March, resulting in an additional 7,843 casualties.

Reports suggest that out of 251 hostages initially taken by Hamas, at least 35 are believed to be still alive.

Israel has initiated a new phase of its military campaign in Gaza after violating a ceasefire agreement, with satellite and video footage showing widespread destruction. Schools, towers, hospitals, and thousands of buildings have been deliberately demolished. Experts say this targeted demolition of civilian infrastructure violates international law and constitutes war crimes. Gaza’s densely populated areas are now largely abandoned as the humanitarian crisis deepens.

Doctors in Gaza report that Israeli drone strikes are causing severe injuries and deaths among children due to missiles packed with nails. These weapons cause deep internal wounds and internal bleeding, leading to fatal outcomes. Medical teams are struggling to save lives amid the rising toll. Attacks have intensified over the past 40 days, often targeting crowded civilian areas such as markets, water lines, and food distribution points. The claims contradict Israel’s narrative of using precision and technology-driven weapons.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast continuous rainfall over the next five days across various regions. Light to moderate rain or thundershowers with gusty winds are expected in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet, while parts of Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Barishal may also see rain. Isolated areas in the northeastern and southeastern regions may experience heavy rainfall. Day and night temperatures may slightly fluctuate. Rainfall activity is likely to intensify in the coming days, according to the extended forecast.

Ukraine has launched a gamified military initiative called "E-Points," where soldiers earn points—and rewards—for destroying Russian troops and equipment via drones. Inspired by video game mechanics, the system incentivizes strategic kills: 50 points for a rocket launcher, 40 for a tank, and so on. Each drone strike is recorded and analyzed in Kyiv for accuracy and reward allocation. While some soldiers find it motivating, others criticize it as a reflection of a distorted wartime mindset. The program is led by Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

A senior Iranian security official has warned that Tehran is prepared to take retaliatory action if the United States fails to compensate for the recent attack on its nuclear facilities and if Israel is not held accountable. The official stated that Iran is not interested in a permanent ceasefire and has rejected recent U.S. proposals for dialogue as “premature.” In response to the June 13 Israeli assault, Iran launched 22 missile strikes on Israeli positions and also targeted the U.S. Al-Udeid base in Qatar. “Our finger is on the trigger; this time we won't wait for the enemy to strike,” he said.
