In a revelation of decades-long intelligence work, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu detailed the sophisticated operation that incapacitated Hezbollah’s communication network using sabotaged devices. The plan, years in the making, targeted the terror group’s walkie-talkies and pagers with hidden explosives. Netanyahu recounted how Mossad demonstrated the devices to him months before the Lebanon campaign, initially raising his skepticism. After testing one himself, he acknowledged their destructive capability. The devices were engineered to look ordinary, with explosives concealed inside batteries and other components, making detection virtually impossible. Mossad quietly supplied tens of thousands of these modified walkie-talkies to Hezbollah through seemingly…

The Israel Defense Forces have issued an update on what officials describe as an ongoing and intensive operation inside the underground tunnel network beneath eastern Rafah, where an estimated 200 Hamas fighters were previously reported abandoned. According to the IDF Spokesperson, forces from the Nahal and Golani brigades, supported by Yahalom combat engineers, continue to advance through the subterranean system. Military officials say nine additional Hamas operatives were identified and killed during the latest sweep. The operation is being supported by a combination of targeted airstrikes and specialized engineering equipment designed to collapse and block tunnel routes. More than 30…
Israeli defence officials have warned that the country is preparing a far more aggressive response against Iran than seen in previous confrontations, as military planners anticipate a prolonged period of hostilities. Senior sources say preparations underway in Jerusalem indicate that any forthcoming engagement could extend well beyond the 12-day exchanges witnessed in earlier rounds. The escalation follows heightened tensions across the region and growing concerns over Iran’s strategic posture. Officials suggest Israel’s response framework has shifted significantly in recent weeks, with the security establishment bracing for a sustained campaign should hostilities ignite. The developments mark a sharp rise in regional…
London’s architectural creativity took a festive turn this week as the Museum of Architecture opened its annual Gingerbread City exhibition, showcasing edible interpretations of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks. This year’s standout attraction is a meticulously crafted gingerbread version of Big Ben, created by architects at Purcell the same firm responsible for the tower’s recent real-world restoration. The team sculpted the iconic clockface using clear sugar, allowing it to glow from within, a delicate detail that required precision and patience. Hosted at Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross, the exhibition brings together design teams from across the city to reimagine…
Guinea-Bissau entered a tense new chapter on Friday with the sudden appointment of Ilidio Vieira Té as Prime Minister, deepening an already volatile political landscape following a disputed presidential election and a rapid coup.

Markets reopened with reduced activity, as traders worked despite…
High-level political assessments in Israel have concluded that the proposed International Stabilization Force for Gaza (ISF) is unlikely to materialize, following indications that no foreign government is prepared to commit troops to the mission. Officials say the development has shifted Israel’s strategic calculations regarding post-war arrangements in Gaza. According to accounts from the weekend’s closed-door consultations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed cabinet members that he has reached an understanding with the United States: “If there is no external force, we will demilitarize Gaza.” Security sources say the Israel Defense Forces have already begun preparing for expanded operations. IDF Chief of…
A growing wave of food contamination incidents is raising alarm among public health officials, consumer advocates and local communities, as unsafe handling practices and weak regulatory oversight fuel increasing risks at markets, eateries and food processing points. Across several regions, reports of contaminated staples including vegetables, grains, meat and street-vended meals have surged. Health experts warn that exposure to harmful chemicals, bacteria and poor hygiene standards is contributing to a rise in food-borne illnesses, placing vulnerable households at even greater risk. Investigations by local authorities indicate that inadequate storage, cross-contamination, improper waste disposal and the use of unsafe additives are…
A new United Nations Security Council resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan has triggered fierce international debate, with supporters calling it a path toward regional stability and critics condemning it as a dangerous reward for extremism. The resolution, passed with broad backing on Monday, establishes a detailed framework for Gaza’s future governance following two years of devastating conflict. It authorizes an international stabilization force, outlines steps for demilitarization, and introduces a transitional “Board of Peace’’ to be overseen by the U.S. president. But the decision has drawn sharp criticism across parts of Israel and its global supporters, who…
Businessman Adolf Tetteh Adjei, widely known in La and Tseado for projecting himself as the “King of Tseado,” is said to be battling a severe emotional breakdown after the Supreme Court delivered a unanimous 5–0 ruling that stripped him of more than 33 acres of contested land and upheld the interest of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas. Reports from inside his household indicate that the gravity of the judgment hit Adolf so hard that he had to be rushed to hospital shortly after leaving the courtroom. A close worker told Amnewsworld that the tears he shed during the ruling were…
A renewed debate over Africa’s fragmented access to the Indian Ocean has surfaced after public remarks by the President of Uganda, who reiterated that true continental integration requires African nations to share the strategic resources of the ocean equitably. His comments have revived long-standing calls for a United States of Africa—an integrated bloc where no state remains landlocked because of colonial-era borders. The president’s position reflects a growing sentiment among Pan-African thinkers: that access to coastlines is not merely geographical but fundamental to security, trade, and development. Under current arrangements, 16 African countries remain without direct access to the sea.…
