Senior Iranian sources claim that a "definitive and painful" response from Iran is expected before the US presidential elections. The US government has issued a warning to Iran, urging restraint.Gaza:In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified operations against Hamas.

The IDF's actions are part of a broader strategy to dismantle Hamas' military infrastructure and prevent imminent threats.West Bank:Tensions remain high in the West Bank, with the IDF conducting targeted operations against Hamas leaders.

The Lebanese Prime Minister expressed hope for a ceasefire, facilitated by US envoy Amos Hochstein, although Hezbollah's willingness to agree to terms remains uncertain. Lebanon's military plans to boost its presence in the southern region are contingent on a resolution that aligns with UN Resolution 1701.Syria:US Central Command recently executed a series of strikes against ISIS camps in Syria, resulting in the elimination of numerous ISIS leaders.
