Israel Receives Joint US-German Military Shipment
Israa Farhan Israel's Ministry of Defense has confirmed the arrival of new military cargo planes carrying defensive equipment from the United States and Germany, as part of ongoing support for the Israeli military during Operation Rising Lion. According to an official statement released on Friday and reported by The Jerusalem Post, 14 military transport aircraft have landed in Israel since the operation against Iran began last week. This is in addition to over 800 cargo flights that have arrived in the country since the war with Hamas erupted following the 7 October 2023 attacks. The latest shipment includes advanced equipment designed to strengthen Israel's defense systems. The Ministry stated that the delivery aims to ensure the continuity of military operations and to fully support the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in meeting strategic goals, whether in confronting Iranian threats or improving operational readiness and supply lines. These shipments are expected to continue in the coming weeks and are part of a broader international coordination effort involving the Directorate of Defense Procurement, Israeli procurement missions in the US and Germany, the IDF Planning and Force Build-Up Directorate, the Israeli Air Force, and other military bodies. In response, Iran has accused the US of direct complicity in what it describes as Israeli aggression against its territory.

Iran Hacks Israeli Surveillance Cameras
Israa Farhan An Israeli cybersecurity official has revealed that Iran has successfully hacked private surveillance cameras across Israel in a bid to gather real-time data on missile strikes, including impact timing and accuracy of targets inside the country. The warning follows a wave of Iranian ballistic missile attacks earlier this week, which struck high-rise buildings in Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iranian territory. The cyber threat has prompted urgent alerts to Israeli citizens regarding the security of internet-connected home cameras. Rafael Franco, former deputy director-general of Israel's National Cyber Directorate, urged residents via public radio to either disable their security cameras or update their passwords immediately. Speaking to Bloomberg News, Franco explained that Iranian operatives had attempted to access footage in the days following the attacks to assess the exact locations and effectiveness of their missile strikes. Franco, who now leads the Israeli cybersecurity firm Code Blue, emphasized that Tehran intends to enhance its targeting precision by utilizing Israeli video data. This revelation comes amid a sharp escalation in cyber warfare between the two regional rivals. In parallel with the missile exchanges, pro-Israeli hacking group Predatory Sparrow claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on a major Iranian bank and a breach that disrupted the country's cryptocurrency exchange systems. Iran's state media reported a large-scale cyber offensive from Israel, targeting critical infrastructure across the Islamic Republic. An Israeli National Cyber Directorate spokesperson confirmed that internet-connected surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted as part of Iran's military strategy. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Austria to Tighten Gun Laws Following School Shooting in Graz
Israa Farhan The Austrian government has announced plans to strengthen its firearms legislation in response to a deadly school shooting in Graz, the country's second-largest city. Chancellor Karl Nehammer revealed that the new measures will raise the minimum age for purchasing certain types of firearms from 21 to 25. The proposed reforms are part of a broader effort to prevent future tragedies and ensure stricter oversight of gun ownership. Under the new regulations, the mandatory waiting period between the purchase of a firearm and its delivery will be extended from three days to four weeks. This cooling-off period aims to provide authorities more time to conduct necessary background checks and psychological evaluations. The government also intends to place greater emphasis on mental health screening for potential gun buyers. Individuals seeking to acquire firearms will undergo more rigorous psychological assessments, with results shared between the armed forces and the national firearms regulatory authority. The move comes after a recent school shooting shocked the nation and renewed calls for tighter gun control. The reforms are expected to reduce the risk of similar incidents and improve coordination between security institutions. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
