1 - ISRAEL

The city of Eilat in Israel was struck by an attack drone today, with the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq claiming responsibility. One drone was intercepted by the Israeli Navy, while another struck the Eilat port, causing damage and lightly injuring two civilians. This incident is part of ongoing cross-border strikes as Hezbollah and other Iranian terror proxies ramp up attacks against Israel.

Hezbollah, a terrorist group based in Lebanon, also launched a missile targeting Tel Aviv. Israeli airstrikes continue to hit Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, where the IDF has shown evidence of Hezbollah storing munitions in civilian houses.

Hezbollah’s military strength has grown significantly since the 2006 Lebanon War. They now possess over 200,000 rockets and missiles, including 40,000 ballistic missiles capable of reaching deep into Israel. Their arsenal includes advanced Russian anti-tank systems, mobile missile launchers, and deep tunnel networks. Hezbollah has also invested in modern drone technology, from small commercial units to Iranian-made attack UAVs.

2 - SUDAN

The Sudanese Army bombed the airport in the city of Nyala, and destroyed the control towers, offices, and the runway.  Warehouses suspected of housing RSF supplies were also reportedly struck in the attack, as well as other sites.  Nyala has been under continuous bombardment by the Sudanese Army, who claim the that they are destroying military supplies being provided to the RSF by the United Arab Emirates.  

The bombing of the airport comes after an unknown cargo plane landed at the airport and unloaded a large shipment.  Eyewitnesses reported that the RSF had renovated the runway prior to the aircraft's arrival, and had also increased the troops guarding the airport, which has been under RSF control for almost a year.
