LIVE TV Captures Israeli Airstrike on Damascus — Syrian Army HQ Hit, Reporter Screams, Smoke Engulfs
Shocking live footage captured by Kurdish media outlet Rudaw and Al Jazeera shows the exact moment an Israeli airstrike hits the Syrian Army Headquarters in Damascus.
Viewers watched in real-time as a reporter screamed and ran for cover, while a massive cloud of smoke engulfed the skyline.
The target appears to be the Syrian General Staff building, a critical military facility.
This dramatic escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of operations to protect Israel’s northern front — and specifically addressed the Druze population to stop crossing borders.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sharply condemned Israel as a “dog on a leash” of the United States and warned that Iran is ready to deliver a far bigger retaliatory blow if attacked again, following recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran’s counterattack on a sensitive US base in Qatar. Khamenei praised Iran’s resilience and emphasized that Tehran approaches both diplomacy and military action from a position of strength.

Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa credited U.S., Arab, and Turkish mediation—led by President Donald Trump—for halting a full-scale war between Syria and Israel following intense Israeli airstrikes on Damascus. Al-Sharaa issued a chilling warning, declaring Syria “won’t forget” the attacks and accusing Israel of trying to exploit Syria’s instability.

Al-Qassam Brigades have reportedly destroyed one of Israel's most advanced and expensive tanks — the Merkava-4, worth $10 million — in a major battlefield blow. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), known for their technological superiority, suffered the loss as the tank’s “invincible” armor was penetrated during intense ground clashes. The attack raises questions about the vulnerability of even Israel’s most elite military hardware amid escalating hostilities.

Tensions between Israel and Syria have reached a boiling point. The Syrian Army has reportedly withdrawn from the key Druze city of Sweida following relentless Israeli airstrikes. Damascus lies in ruins as Israeli forces target key Syrian military installations, citing threats from HTS-aligned units and a need to protect the Druze population. With dozens feared dead and infrastructure devastated, the region is on the brink of a wider war. Is this the beginning of a new Middle East conflict? Stay tuned for live updates on the escalating Israel-Syria war.

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syria’s General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a “misunderstanding” and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says it’s intervening to protect the Druze community.
With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional war—or a chance for diplomacy to prevail?

Yemen's Houthi rebels (Ansarallah) have claimed responsibility for launching another significant missile attack toward southern Israel, triggering massive panic and sounding major air-raid sirens across the region. The group stated the attack was carried out in "solidarity with the people of Gaza." The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the launch and announced that its air defence systems were activated, successfully intercepting the inbound missile before it could hit its target.
This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have vowed that such attacks will continue until Israel ends its military offensive and blockade of the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Ansarallah has fired over 50 missiles and drones toward Israel since the conflict resumed, frequently targeting critical infrastructure like the Ben Gurion Airport in previous attempts. This raises the critical question: Is Israel now fighting a three-front war, facing threats from Gaza, the north, and now consistently from Yemen?
The attack comes amidst a volatile situation in the wider region. Israel has recently intensified its own strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to their persistent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. In a major act of retaliation, the Houthis recently sank the UK-registered Magic Sea ship, a move that dealt a significant blow to global trade and maritime security. This video breaks down the latest missile attack, the successful Israeli interception, and the escalating cycle of violence that is pushing the Middle East to the brink.

Just hours after Israeli Defense Minister’s threats, the IDF launched drone strikes on Damascus, targeting Syria’s Defense Ministry. Prime Minister Netanyahu released a video urging the Druze community not to cross borders, claiming the IDF is protecting them. Israel issued an ultimatum to Syrian forces to withdraw from Suwayda or face further attacks. Multiple bombings hit Syria’s army headquarters as tensions escalate. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s corruption trial was adjourned amid the crisis, sparking debate over timing. The situation in Damascus remains extremely volatile.

A U.S.-operated oil field in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region has been obliterated by a drone strike — and all signs point to Iran-backed militias. The target: HKN Energy’s Sarsang site in Duhok, now in flames and completely shut down. As smoke rises, so do fears of a wider proxy war unfolding across Iraq.
The attack, which Kurdish officials condemned as a “deliberate act of terrorism,” comes amid a stalled oil export system and growing instability. The U.S. has issued a sharp rebuke, demanding Iraq take action. Meanwhile, Baghdad and Erbil are under pressure to respond — fast.
Is this the beginning of a new front in Iran’s shadow war with the U.S.? Or a direct message to Washington about who controls Iraq’s energy future?
