In a recent operation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) successfully encircled Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, Gaza, with the objective of dismantling terror infrastructure sites and eliminating terrorists in the area. The mission aimed to reinforce control and expand the security zone in southern Gaza. During the nighttime operation, IDF troops encircled the area, neutralized several terrorists, and conducted a targeted raid on a terror infrastructure site. This site had been used as a command and control center for Hamas terrorists over the past few months. To ensure civilian safety, IDF troops facilitated the evacuation of civilians from the combat zone via organized routes. The IDF will continue to operate against terrorist organizations in Gaza to protect Israeli civil ians.
Attack 'very dangerous' situation for US - but also the UK, Professor Anthony Glees warns
The suspected terror attack in New Orleans is "very dangerous" for the US - but also for the country's allies, a security expert has told Sky News.
Professor Anthony Glees said: "This is a terrible attack, and it's a very dangerous national security situation for the US, but also for its allies and in particular for us here in the UK.
"So, this is a very worrying thing that is happening."
Prof Glees said all Western countries are facing Islamist threats, and points to the uncertainty over the future of Syria following the fall of the Assad regime last month - and whether that could present new challenges for security services and governments.
He added that it seems US intelligence had "no idea" about the attack.
"This is a highly dangerous situation," he said.
