Iran can attack Israel at any time. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has asked the security forces to attack Israel with full force and take revenge for the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. This information was given by Ali Fadavi, deputy chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

Iran has deadly missiles

 

Haniyeh was killed in a missile attack in Tehran in July. Iran has blamed Israel for this. Fadavi said, the Supreme Leader has asked to take action at the right time. Meanwhile, Iran's navy has demonstrated its cruise missiles deployed on warships.

It is said that these highly lethal missiles cannot be detected by radar. It is known that Iran is among the countries producing the largest number of missiles in West Asia. Meanwhile, Pakistan has rejected the talks that it has supplied missiles to Iran amid the increased tension with Israel.

Israel kills a Hamas security officer in south Lebanon

 

Israel carried out an airstrike on a car in southern Lebanon on Friday evening. The attack in the Lebanese port city of Sidon, about 60 kilometers from the Israeli border, killed Samar al-Haj, a security officer for the Palestinian armed group Hamas. Samar al-Haj worked in the nearby refugee camp Ain al-Hilweh for Palestinians.

Sources said the security officer's bodyguard was seriously injured in the attack. The Israeli army has been conducting an operation in Lebanon for the past 10 months against members of Hamas, the allied Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and other factions. These armed groups have launched attacks across the border into northern Israel with rockets, drones and artillery.

It is noteworthy that in January, Hamas deputy chief Saleh Arouri was killed in an Israeli attack on the outskirts of Beirut. Last week, Hezbollah's top military commander Fuad Shukr was killed in another Israeli attack on the same area.

Israel attacks Khan Younis amid calls for ceasefire in Gaza

 

Amid calls by the US, Qatar and Egypt for a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel on Friday launched a new attack on Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The Israeli army said it targeted hideouts of Hamas fighters.

It is alleged that Hamas fighters are continuously attacking Israeli soldiers with rockets and mortars. Along with this, Israel has ordered the evacuation of the eastern region of Khan Younis, where people had returned only two weeks ago. Now thousands of them are being displaced again with their essential belongings.

Demand for ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages

 

The leaders of the United States, Egypt and Qatar jointly called on Israel on Thursday to join talks on August 15 on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, saying the ceasefire agreement now remains only a matter of details. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he had accepted the invitation to the talks.

US President Joe Biden, the indirect mediator in the deal, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Qatar's Emir Tamim al-Thani want an end to the Gaza war and are preparing to finalise talks in Qatar or Egypt next week.
