Shocking videos from Syria’s Sweida province show Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants executing Druze civilians in a surge of sectarian bloodshed. Victims, targeted for their faith, are seen kneeling with hands on their heads before being gunned down. Some videos even show HTS fighters burning bodies and celebrating the killings. The violence, part of a wider Druze-Bedouin conflict, marks one of the bloodiest weeks in southern Syria’s civil war, with hundreds killed in escalating sectarian clashes.

Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades claim a major victory after ambushing Israeli tanks entering Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Shocking video released by Hamas shows several IDF tanks and APCs destroyed by rockets and explosives, with Israeli soldiers believed trapped or killed. This marks a serious blow to Israel’s first major incursion into the area in months. While the IDF insists it’s targeting terror infrastructure, Hamas says it successfully thwarted the offensive, intensifying the already deadly conflict in Gaza.

Israeli authorities have foiled an alleged plot to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A 70-year-old Tel Aviv woman, reportedly an anti-government protester, was arrested for attempting to acquire explosives and gather intel on the PM’s security. The Shin Bet and police's Yahbal unit led the investigation after she expressed her intent to fellow activists. She’s under house arrest, facing indictment for conspiracy and attempted terrorism. The case has reignited concerns over rising violent rhetoric at political protests across Israel.

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?
