5:35
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. As multiple wars in the Middle East
5:40
appear unabated, Israel, the main defender and attacker on multiple waterfronts in the city of Gaza,
5:47
Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and now Syria, has ordered the Israel Aerospace Industries,
5:53
IIA, to mass-produce arrow missiles interceptors in a very large numbers with the Israel Ministry of Defense
5:59
saying that the state of Israel has increased its defense spending for 2025 and 2026 to 42 billion new Israeli
6:07
shekels, which is approximately $12.5 billion. During the 12-day war with Iran, there
6:14
were multiple reports that Israel was running low on arrow missiles interceptors defense system as Iran
6:20
longrange missiles were seen hitting targets in Israel. Aerospace observers
6:26
said the advanced arrow highaltitude defense systems are critical to countering long range ballistic missile
6:32
threats like those launched from Iran during the 12-day war in June 2025.
6:38
According to the Israel Ministry of Defense in a press statement on Thursday, the director general of the
6:44
Israel Ministry of Defense, IMOD, Major General Reserveist Amir Baram, signed a
6:50
production contract to significantly accelerate the serial production of arrow interceptors at II, Israel
6:57
Aerospace Industries. As part of the deal, II will supply the IMOD with a
7:03
significant additional amount of arrow interceptors. The deal was led by Moshe
7:08
Patel, director of the Israel Missile Defense Organization, IMDO, within the
7:14
Ministry's Directorate of Defense Research and Development, DDRD. The ARO system developed and
7:21
manufactured in cooperation with the US Missile Defense Agency, MDA,
7:26
demonstrated significant interception capabilities during the Swords of Iron War, especially during Operation Rising
7:34
Lion. The system provides exoathmospheric and endoatmospheric interception capabilities against
7:40
ballistic missile threats, protecting the state of Israel from strategic long range threats. The Arrow system
7:47
integrates cuttingedge technologies and is considered one of the world's most advanced air and missile defense
7:54
systems. IA is the prime contractor for developing the arrow system and its
7:59
interceptors through its MLM facility in partnership with the US company Stark
8:04
Aerospace. Other partners include IAL and TAM divisions, Albert Systems, Toma
8:11
and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The US Missile Defense Agency, MDA, is a
8:18
major partner of the IMDO at the ministry's DDRD in the development and
8:23
production of Israel's multi-layered defense systems, including the Arrow and David's Sling weapon systems and the
8:30
production of Iron Dome defense system components. The strategic cooperation
8:35
between the MDA and the IMDO helps ensure Israel's technological edge in
8:41
air and missile defense. Also on Thursday, Israel Aerospace Industries
8:46
IIAi in a statement said, "Israel is reinforcing its defenses on all fronts
8:52
at full speed. In a major move to strengthen national security, the
8:57
Ministry of Defense has signed a significant production contract with Israel Aerospace Industries, IIAI, to
9:04
fasttrack the mass production of arrow interceptors. This strategic step will
9:09
significantly increase production and expand Israel's interceptor stockpiles, ensuring the country remains fully
9:16
prepared for both ongoing operations and future long range threats. The Arrow
9:21
system designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside Earth's atmosphere proved its unmatched performance during
9:28
the recent defense campaign, saving lives and preventing widespread damage.
9:33
As the lead developer and manufacturer, IIAi is operating at full capacity in
9:38
collaboration with trusted partners in Israel and around the world. Together,
9:43
we're not only protecting the present, we're innovating for the future. Israeli
9:48
based news media Jerusalem Post also on Thursday reported that the director
9:53
general of Israel Defense Ministry Major General Amir Baram said that Israel will
9:59
raise its defense spending by 42 billion new Israel shekels which is 12.5 billion
10:06
this year and in 2026. The Finance and Defense Ministries said on Thursday,
10:11
citing the country's security challenges, "The budget agreement will enable the defense ministry to advance
10:18
urgent and essential procurement deals critical to national security." The ministry stated in a press release, a
10:25
long-term buildup plan starting in 2027 will be developed per Prime Minister
10:30
Benjamin Netanyahu's instructions to strengthen readiness and technological superiority against distant threats, the
10:38
ministry said. Additionally, mechanisms for the oversight of the defense budget
10:43
will be strengthened, according to the statement. The director general of the ministry, Major General Amir Baram said
10:51
that this move would allow the defense ministry to replenish consumed stocks of weapons and ammunition. Finance Minister
10:58
Bezel Smotric, Defense Minister Israel Catz, and Finance Ministry Director
11:04
General Ilan Ram all welcomed the increase in defense spending. The challenges ahead are complex in distant
11:11
and close arenas against enemies who openly declare their intent to destroy us. For this, absolute military,
11:19
technological, and operational superiority is required. Katz said, "We
11:25
had reported that shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned from the United States US on Sunday,
11:32
where he had paid an official visit to the US President, Donald Trump, lawmakers, and other US government

11:45
took a new twist, evolving into a deadly conflict after a Drews man was robbed at
11:51

12:16

12:23
the Hayat Tahir al-Ssham, HTS, assisted and joined the Bedawin militias to kill
12:28
the people of Drews and in a swift response the office of the Prime Minister of Israel in a press statement

13:47
of Drew's people is a top priority in his interim government, but he's not afraid of Israel that bombed the Syria
13:53
military headquarters and the military base near Syria presidential palace in Damascus on Wednesday that led to the
13:59
death of five persons in addition to more than 300 people killed less than a
14:04
week. The new conflict ensued

16:49

16:57
to Reuters reporters, war plananes swooped low over the Syria capital and unleash a series of massive strikes on
17:04
central Damascus. The cityscape was blanketed in smoke with a thick plume
17:09
rising from the defense ministry. We are acting decisively to prevent the entrenchment of hostile elements beyond
17:16
the border, protect Israeli citizens, and prevent harm to Drew civilians, the
17:21
Israel chief of general staff, Lieutenant General Al Zamir stated during a situational assessment at the
17:27
Syrian border after the IDF strikes on Wednesday. The attacks carried out by
17:32
Israel this time on central Damascus following its military interventions in southern Syria constitute a deliberate
17:40
attempt to sabotage Syria's efforts to achieve peace, stability, and security.
17:45
Turkey government through the office of the foreign affairs ministry stated the Israel Defense Forces IDF had stated on
17:53
Wednesday in a press statement that the IDF struck the entrance of the Syrian regime's military headquarters in the
18:00
area of Damascus in Syria. The IDF continues to monitor developments and
18:05
the regime's actions against true civilians in southern Syria. In accordance with directives from the
18:11
political echelon, the IDF is striking in the area and remains prepared for various scenarios.
18:18
On Tuesday, IDF said following the directive of the political echelon a
18:24
short while ago, the IDF began striking military vehicles belonging to Syrian regime forces in the area of a Suea in
18:31
southern Syria. This follows yesterday evening's identification of Syrian regime convoys, including armored
18:39
personnel carriers and tanks moving toward the area of a Soueda in southern Syria. The IDF struck several armored
18:46
fighting vehicles consisting of tanks, APCs, and MLRS, as well as access roads
18:53
in order to disrupt the convoys arrival to the area. We continue to monitor the
18:58
developments while remaining ready and prepared for various scenarios. One of the Drews people who crossed from
19:05
the Israeli occupied Golan into Syria in a speech in the village of Hadar was reported to have said, "I came here from
19:12
the occupied Golan despite the Israeli occupation and its army. What these takiri gangs, the gangs of Ahmed al-
19:20
Shar are doing cannot be accepted nor tolerated. We hold the Israeli government and the United States
19:26
responsible because they are the ones who brought al July here along with America, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
19:34
Netanyahu can stop the war within an hour. We don't ask for protection from Israel or anyone. We are protected by
19:41
God. Syria President Ahmed Hussein al- Shar in a televised nationwide broadcast
19:47
on Thursday said protecting Jew citizens is a priority while rejecting any foreign involvement. In his first
19:54
televised statement after Israeli strikes on Damascus, he said Syrians must be defended without inviting chaos
20:01
or destruction, saying Israel seeks to create chaos in Syria. President al-
20:07
Shar accused Israel of trying to destabilize Syria, saying, "The Israeli
20:12
entity seeks to turn our land into a theater of chaos. The Syrian people are
20:17
always ready to defend the dignity." He claimed Israel intensified the situation through its actions, especially toward
20:25
the Drews population. Since the regime's fall, Israel has aimed to dismantle
20:30
Syria. We have chosen not to be dragged into direct confrontation to preserve
20:35
national security, he added. Instead of retaliation, Al-Shar announced that
20:41
responsibility for local security would be given to tribal leaders and local factions. Office of the Prime Minister
20:48
of Israel on Tuesday have said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense
20:54
Minister Israel Katz have directed the IDF to immediately attack the regime
20:59
forces and the weaponry that entered the Swider area of the Drews mountain in Syria and that the regime intended to
21:06
use against the Drews, which was done in contravention of the demilitarization policy they decided on of preventing the
21:13
entry of forces and weaponry that endangers Israel in the southern region of Syria. Israel is committed to
21:19
preventing harm being inflicted on the Drews in Syria. Owing to the deep covenant of blood with our Drews
21:25
citizens in Israel and their historical and familial link to the Drews in Syria,
21:30
we are acting to prevent the Syrian regime from harming them and to ensure the demilitarization of the region
21:36
adjacent to our border with Syria. The Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
21:42
in a recorded video statement on Wednesday said and in quotes, "My fellow citizens of the Drews region, the
21:49
situation in Sida, the situation in southwest Syria is very serious. The IDF
21:55
is operating, the air force is operating, other forces are operating.
22:00
We are working to save our Drews brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs. And now I have one request from
22:07
you. You are a citizen of Israel. Do not cross the line. You are endangering your
22:13
lives. You can be murdered. You can be kidnapped. And you are hurting the efforts of the IDF. And that's why I'm
22:20
asking you go back to your homes. Let the IDF act. ANED news. and Israel-based
22:27
news media in details reported that Syrian regime forces began withdrawing
22:33
Wednesday evening from the predominantly Drews southern Swider province following 5 days of intense clashes, Israeli air
22:40
strikes and mass crossber movement of Drews from Israel into Syrian territory.
22:45
The withdrawal was part of a ceasefire agreement reached between the regime and senior figures in the local Drews
22:51
leadership. The deal announced earlier in the day by Shik Ysef Jerbua, a
22:57
prominent Drews cleric, calls for the full integration of Swider into the new
23:02
Syrian administration. However, it also requires the regime's military units, which were involved in
23:09
heavy fighting in the region, to pull out and allow local Drews forces to take over internal security. Local media
23:16
reported that the pullback began around 9pm m under the terms of the agreement
23:22
which permits police forces affiliated with the regime to remain in the province and coordinate with local Drews
23:28
security elements. A mechanism was also established to regulate possession of
23:33
heavy weapons aimed at ending their use outside of official state frameworks.
23:38
Coordination with religious and community leaders was emphasized with sensitivity to the social and historical
23:44
context of the Drews majority province. The ceasefire followed reports of atrocities during the fighting,
23:51
including summary executions of civilians by regime forces and allied Bedawin militias, public humiliation of
23:58
Drews religious leaders, and the looting and burning of homes. A commission of inquiry is to be established to
24:05
investigate these incidents. Shikh Higmat al-Hijri, the community's top
24:10
spiritual authority in Syria, rejected the agreement outright, calling to continue the struggle until Schwider is
24:17
liberated. He said there could be no negotiation with the armed gangs calling
24:22
themselves the government and warned that anyone deviating from the unified community position would be held
24:28
accountable. A prominent local Drews militia, the men of dignity movement,
24:33
also opposed the deal and demanded a full withdrawal of all regime forces.
24:38
After the martyrdom of our best leaders and fighters, the movement will defend itself until the last fighter able to
24:45
carry a weapon unless the invaders retreat from all villages and towns, the group said. Reports of Wednesday
24:52
evening's withdrawal came shortly after the US State Department called on President Armad al-Shara's regime to
24:59
pull its forces out of Schwider to allow all parties to deescalate tensions.
25:05
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed shortly afterward that an agreement had been reached which he said could bring
25:12
the crisis to an end as early as tonight. The agreement includes specific
25:17
steps required from all sides. He said, "This will require all parties to
25:22
deliver on the commitments they have made, and this is what we fully expect them to do." A comment likely referring
25:28
also to an end to Israeli air strikes. Control over Schwider remains a central
25:33
issue in the ongoing tensions. The province is home to Syria's largest Drews community, numbering about 700,000
25:41
and has long feared persecution under the al-Shar regime, which has been accused of seeking to return the Drews
25:48
to pure Islam and dismantle their traditional way of life. In April,
25:53
violent clashes erupted between Drews fighters and regime forces, resulting in
25:58
more than 100 deaths. That round of fighting ended with a ceasefire in May,
26:04
and since then, Drew's forces had maintained security control in the province. The latest round of fighting
26:10
has so far claimed more than 300 lives, according to the UK-based Syrian
26:15
Observatory for Human Rights. That figure includes 69 Drews fighters and 40
26:21
Drews civilians, 27 of whom were reportedly executed. It also includes
26:28
165 regime soldiers and 18 Bedawin militia members. The violence began late
26:34
last week after Bedawin gunman robbed a young Drews man from Schwider. In response, local residents detained
26:41
several members of Bedawin tribes, escalating tensions. On Tuesday, as
26:47
fighting continued, Al-Shara's forces entered the provincial capital, claiming they aimed to restore order. But
26:54
according to reports, they joined in the clashes and were involved in attacks against the Drews population. Drews
27:00
leaders appealed to the international community, describing the situation as a campaign of extermination.
27:07
Israel responded with a series of intensified air strikes aimed at forcing Syrian forces out of SIDA. Among the
27:14
targets was the Syrian military headquarters in Damascus hit in a strike broadcast live on Syrian television,
27:21
killing five. A military site near Al Shara's presidential palace was also
27:27
struck and an Israeli military source told Reuters the attack was a direct message to the regime. Israel will not
27:34
allow a military buildup on its border with southern Syria and it will not allow the massacre of Drews in Syria,
27:40
the official said. We have reported that the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin
27:45
Netanyahu has commended and praised the efforts of personnel at the Israel Institute for Intelligence and Special
27:52
Operations known in Hebrew word as Mossad over the fall of Bashar al-Assad
27:57
regime in Syria early December 2024 apparently corroborating the statement
28:02
issued by the Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kam in late December 2024 that
28:08
the fall of President Al-Assad regime was a plan orchestrated by Israel and
28:14
the United States. US under the leadership of then President Joe Biden.
28:19
This Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the 68th session of the
28:24
United Nations General Assembly on October 1st, 2013 said that Iran
28:29
directly participated in Assad's murder and massacre of tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children in
28:37
Syria, used chemical weapons against its own people, and in 2010, the ousted
28:42
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had accused Israel of avoiding peace. and
28:47
Syrian Foreign Minister Wed Nuam warned that in the event of a future war, Israeli cities would be targeted by
28:54
Syrian missiles, an action Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believed to
28:59
be the underground work of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatolli. He had accused
29:05
Severy of being the root cause of war in the Middle East. specifically stating at the 68th session of the UN assembly that
29:13
some 2500 years ago the great Persian king Cyrus ended the Babylonian exile of
29:19
the Jewish people. He issued a famous edict in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to return to the land of
29:25
Israel and rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. That's a Persian decree and
29:31
thus began an historic friendship between the Jews and the Persians that lasted until modern times. But in 1979,
29:39
a radical regime in Tehran tried to stamp out that friendship as it was busy
29:44
crushing the Iranian people's hope for democracy. It always led wild chance of death of the Jews. Now, since that time,
29:53
presidents of Iran have come and gone. Some presidents were considered moderates, other hardliners. But they've
30:00
all served that same unforgiving creed, that same unforgiving regime, that creed that is espoused and enforced by the
30:07
real power in Iran, the dictator known as the supreme leader, first Ayatah Homini and now Ayatollah Kami. We had
30:14
reported that in April 2025, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
30:20
traveled to the United States, US, and held meetings with President Donald Trump, only returned from the official
30:27
trip and intensified more aggressive military campaigns in Gaza and staged a military confrontation with Iran, which
30:34
led to the killing of almost 1,000 Iranians in a 12-day war with the Islamic country. This on Tuesday, Prime
30:42
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet members that he will travel to
30:47
the US next week to hold very important security meetings with President Donald Trump and the US lawmakers amongst
30:54
others while specifically telling the cabinet members that the details of the scheduled meetings are things he cannot
31:00
reveal at the briefing. We had reported that the United States US President
31:06
Donald Trump has accused members of the Israel House of Assembly known in Hebrew word as Knesset of apparent politically
31:13
witch hunting the Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu with corruption case
31:18
President Trump had described as nothing but political witch hunt saying the Knesset prosecutors should let Benjamin
31:25
Netanyahu go that he's a war hero who have worked with the US to eliminate
31:30
Iran nuclear threats. And currently he has a big job to do with negotiations of peace deals with
31:36
Iran and Hamas stressing in a question manner how possible is it for the Israel
31:41
prime minister to sit in court all day long. This the prime minister lawyer had
31:46
filed a 2-week delay of the case citing national security demands following the
31:52
12-day Israel Iran war. But the court sitting in Jerusalem rejected the
31:57
application on Friday. and Benjamin Netanyahu, who has spent 20 years as
32:03
Israel prime minister, was expected to be in court on Monday for cross-examination in the corruption case
32:09
that started with police investigation in 2016 and the court trial commenced in
32:14
2020. But a report from some foreign media quoting the prime minister
32:20
political party licked a few hours ago indicated that the court on Sunday has
32:25
postponed the case and cancelled it from holding this week. Similarly, some members of the Knesset had accused the
32:31
prime minister of trying to use the regional war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran to secure end to the corruption
32:38
charges. We have reported that thousands of mourners on Saturday put on mostly
32:43
black and black clothes and rallied from Engab Square to Razadi Square in Tehran,
32:48
the Iranian state capital to honor the country top military commanders, nuclear scientists, four little children and
32:55
four women among the hundreds of people killed during the 12 days war the Islamic country had with Israel and the
33:02
United States. US with the mourners chanting anti-US and Israel songs while
33:07
the Iran Supreme Leader Ali Kami was not seen at the funeral with reports indicating that he has remained out of
33:14
public space and still taking cover in a wellsecured hideout since on Tuesday.
33:19
The ceasefire between the two countries had been broken, and the sagure of many eyes at the state funeral ceremony was
33:26
the arrival and appearance of two top senior Iranian military officers previously declared killed by Israel.
33:33
Ali Shankhani, senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatal Kami and Ezel Khani,
33:39
commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC Kuds force, which
33:45
Israel Defense Forces, IDF had claimed to have assassinated with an air strike on the 13th of June 2025 during the
33:53
start of the Iran Israel war. However, Iranian state media contradicted the IDF
33:59
report on the 20th of June that the officials are still alive and they were in stable condition after recovering
34:05
from severe injuries from the strike. We have reported that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has listed
34:13
what the troops of Operation Rising Lions achieved in a 12-day war with the Islamic Republic of Iran, stating that
34:20
Israel will now pursue the path of making peace with nations in the Middle East and compensate those that suffered
34:27
damages. Specifically stating that all the buildings destroyed by Iran ballistic missiles will be rebuilt a new
34:33
by the Israeli government for the victims. adding that without the immense achievements in Gaza, in Lebanon, in
34:40
Syria, and against the said terrorism in Judea and Samaria, Israel would not have
34:46
been able to reach Tehran made the statement on Tuesday evening after Iran President Massud Peskin announced an end
34:54
to the 12 days tensed and frightening military campaigns that the United States, led by President Donald Trump,
35:01
took side with Israel and officially and openly got itself involved in the war on
35:06
Saturday 21, 2025 when US special military troops flew several B2 bombers,
35:13
fighter jets, and attacked three Iranian cities of Foro, Natans, and Isvahan with allegations that the Iranian nuclear
35:20
facilities in the cities have been destroyed. allegations several media reports and authorities in Tehran have
35:27
dismissed, but in retaliation to the US invasion of the Iranian territory, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC
35:35
launched six missiles into Qatar on Monday with the intention to destroy US
35:40
military base in the Qatari capital of Doha known as US Al-Buade air base. But
35:46
according to Qatar state media, Doha News, all the missiles were intercepted.
35:52
We had reported that the head of the Christian Catholic Church, Pope Leo I 14th, has appealed to all actors
35:59
involved in the ongoing war in the Middle East and beyond to end the battles because according to the Pope,
36:05
war only amplifies or creates more problems and no amount of military victory can compensate the pains of
36:11
mothers, the stolen futures and the fear of children, emphasizing that war does not solve problem. We have reported that
36:18
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has commended President Trump of the United States US over the night
