Israel cuts ties with UN agency for Palestinian refugees amid rising tensions
Israel has officially severed ties with the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), citing the agency's failure to address allegations of Hamas infiltration among its staff. This decision has drawn international criticism.
In related developments, Hezbollah launched a significant rocket attack on the Israeli city of Safed, escalating tensions in the region. This follows weeks of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, amid ongoing humanitarian issues in Lebanon.
Additionally, two Iranian Revolutionary Guards were killed in a helicopter crash during an operation in southeastern Iran. The crash occurred in Sistan-Balochistan province, where security forces have been active following recent violence.
