1 - ISRAEL

Today, Israel launched major airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting Hezbollah’s command center and reportedly attempting to kill its leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Several buildings, including potential Hezbollah terrorist leadership sites, were destroyed. Nasrallah’s fate remains unclear, with no official statement from Hezbollah, but an Israeli official suggested his survival is unlikely.

The IDF confirmed targeting Hezbollah’s underground facilities, including anti-ship missile storage. Prime Minister Netanyahu approved the strike from New York. He reiterated Israel’s right to continue fighting against Hezbollah until Israel is safely able to return its own displaced citizens to their homes.

Despite all the strikes, Hezbollah continues its rocket attacks on northern Israel - showing their unwillingness to stop attacking Israel.

2 - SUDAN

The Sudanese Army launched one of the largest offensives of the war on Wednesday, attacking the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.  Air and artillery strikes began during the night, and intensified at dawn.  The army then crossed key bridges over the Nile that separated the government-controlled areas of Omdurman from the RSF controlled areas.  

The RSF claimed that the attacks had been repelled, most at the bridges, but gunfire and smoke were reported from within the city as the Sudanese Army tries to regain the control that it lost at the beginning of the war in 2023.
