Israeli Army Admits Losing Two More Soldiers In Gaza As It Prepares For Final Offensive (Videos)
Two Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on May 9 that two soldiers were killed and at least six were wounded in two separate attacks in the southern Gaza Strip a day earlier.
While Israel faced little to no resistance when it first resumed its offensive in the enclave, the situation changed in recent weeks with Hamas and other factions demonstrating that they were still willing to fight.
The recent losses didn’t deter Israel, which called up tens of thousands of reservists earlier in the month in preparation for “Operation Gideon's Chariots,” a final offensive meant to occupy all of Gaza and completely defeat Hamas.

India Attacks Pakistan With Israeli Loitering Munitions In New Escalation
Pakistan said on May 8 that its military downed 25 Indian loitering munitions across the country, after what it called a “serious provocation” from New Delhi that wounded four soldiers and killed a civilian.
In an earlier statement, Pakistan military spokesman Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that 12 Harop drones had been shot down over Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Bahawalpur, Attock, Ghotki, Gujranwala, Chakwal, and other cities overnight.
The Harop is a loitering munition developed by Israel Aerospace Industries. Loitering munitions are designed to hover or loiter above the battlefield, waiting for targets to be exposed, and attack upon the operator’s command.

Israel Has Successfully Manipulated The Former Al-Qaeda In Syria, But Is Concerned About The Turkish-Iranian Alliance
After the genocide on the coast, the chaos of the Tahrir al-Sham regime has spread to the southern Syrian Druze areas. After several days of intense fighting, it became clear that most of the Druze see themselves only within the federal political structure of Syria, while the former Jabhat Nusra regime continues to insist on subordination to their autocracy with its capital in Damascus.
Analysts are rushing to explain the confrontation between the Druze and the jihadists as a consequence of the “cold war” that has begun between the Zionists and the Turks in Syria. There is logic in this, but it is too early to talk about the beginning of a serious conflict and there are a number of reasons for this...

Houthis Announce First Attack On Israel After Ceasefire With U.S.
The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen announced on May 7 that they had launched suicide drones against targets in Israel, in their first attack since a ceasefire agreement with the United States was reached a day earlier.
During the operation against the Houthis, which began on March 15, the U.S. attacked more than 1,000 in Yemen. Over 250 people, including women and children, were killed according to Houthi-run media.
Trump’s decision to end the operation came as Israel resumed its own strikes on Yemen following the May 4 Houthi missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport. Two waves of Israeli strikes hit the country on May 5 and 6, with the second placing Sanaa International Airport out of service.

The Unknown War
Today, SouthFront shares the 9th part of the series titled “War in the Air”. The Soviet Air Forces showed great resilience in the face of the Luftwaffe during World War II.
Soviet airfields were among the first targets hit by the Nazis with the start of Operation Barbarossa on June 22 of 1941. 800 Soviet airplanes were lost on the ground and 40 in the air.
German newspapers announced the triumph, but failed to take into account the determination of Soviet pilots and the capabilities of Soviet industry.
On August 8 of the same year, Soviet bombers raided Berlin. Goebbels attributed the raid to British bombers in a desperate attempt to hide the embarrassing failure of the Luftwaffe.
After the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943, the Soviet Air Forces became dominant in the air. The Germans experienced endless aerial bombardment.
The Russians had shot down 77,000 Nazi airplanes by the end of the war. The Soviet Air Forces emerged victorious over the Luftwaffe, which was wiped out.

They gave us their word that they wouldn’t be shooting ships anymore, and we honor that. Hopefully, that’s over with. Just leave those ships alone,” Trump said.
