⚡️🇸🇾 🇸🇾 The SDF have officially concluded military operations and protests at the Tishrin Dam in eastern Aleppo, following over 100 days of fighting.

This move aligns with the restarting of negotiations between the SDF and the Syrian HTS government.

The Syrian government demands full responsibility for the security of the Tishrin Dam and the Sheikh Maqsoud and Achrafieh neighborhoods in Aleppo, including placing the Kurdish Asayish security forces under the authority of the Syrian General Security.

The SDF, however, opposes this, insisting on a joint administration while preserving the Asayish's role as local security. 

There are unconfirmed reports indicating that the SDF has bombed bridges connecting the towns of Deir Hafer and Maskana.

⚡🇮🇹🇬🇧 Italian Eurofighters completed a series of tests of Meteor air-to-air missiles in the United Kingdom, securing another step towards their integration in the Italian Airforce.

The MBDA Meteor has already been integrated into the fighter jet fleet of several other european countries (UK with Eurofighter, France with Rafale, Sweden with Gripen) for several years now but Italy is now catching up.

The European Meteor is a long-range air-to-air. It uses a ramjet engine rather than a rocket engine, allowing it to carry the fuel only, throttle the combustion, achieving greater ranges and terminal speed.

In favor of a bad weather limiting the use of Russian drones, several groups of Ukrainian armored vehicles are attempting to enter the Glushovsky district.

This territory is around 30×15km, with on the west and south the Ukrainian border, north the Seim river and east the only reliable path to the rest of Russia, but still under threat of Ukrainian strikes. This area is vulnerable.

2) In the area of Novyi Put, Ukrainians broke through the line of defense at the border.
Further reports suggest that up to 300 Ukrainian soldiers are waiting to enter Russia from there.

The operation includes sediment flushing, previously restricted under the treaty. Pakistan called any diversion “an act of war” and is preparing legal challenges through the World Bank and international courts.

⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸According to Israel Hayon, Netanyahu has recently expressed frustration in closed-door conversations about Trump's actions concerning the Middle East. He reportedly told his team that, during meetings and phone calls, Trump says the right things, particularly regarding Iran and Syria. However his steps do not align with his statements.

Additionally, Netanyahu expressed concern about the support Trump gave Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which allowed him to tighten his grip on Syria. At the same time, Trump has also reportedly given Israel full freedom to take whatever action it deems necessary regarding Syria.

Netanyahu was also dissatisfied with Trump's decision to open negotiations with Iran and the concessions that were at times considered for the Iranians.

Furthermore, Netanyahu raised concerns last week over the removal of National Security Advisor Tim Walz, noting that Walz held hawkish views on Iran and the Middle East.
