Israel is facing escalating tensions with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis following the deadly attack on October 7. Recently, in northern Gaza, four Israeli soldiers from the elite Multidomain Unit, known as the "Ghost Unit," were killed, and an officer was seriously injured during ongoing military operations. This incident raises the total number of Israeli soldiers killed in the conflict to 367.

As hostilities increase, the situation in West Asia remains highly volatile, with Israel also targeting Iranian influence and its regional proxies. The conflict continues to have severe repercussions for both sides, exacerbating regional instability. Watch video
