Iran has been hiring young people in Europe to attack Israeli and Jewish targets in countries across the continent, according to media reports.

The Assad regime’s collapse in Syria means the entire Iranian axis has been disrupted, and ‘as we learned today, it even stopped the Iraqi militias,’

Iran could have an operational nuclear weapon within "weeks, maybe days," a former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. said, as Israel closely watches whether Iran could quickly pivot and create a nuclear weapon before next month's change of administration in Washington.

The last year has seen the Shin Bet arrest dozens of Israelis working for—and getting paid by—Iran or Hezbollah with the express purpose of spying on or sowing discord in Israel.

Rebel forces in Syria are building a transitional government after toppling the regime of President Bashar Assad in a lightning-quick advance across the country.

In April, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria, prompting Iran to strike back with more than 300 drones and missiles aimed into Israel. But Israel worked with the U.S., Jordan and Saudi Arabia to shoot down nearly every missile and drone.

Iran has reportedly been hiring young mercenaries in European countries to carry out attacks on Jewish or Israeli institutions.

The Gaza war erupted when Hamas militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel responded with an air and land offensive that has killed 45,000 people, health authorities there say, displaced 1.2 million and left much of the enclave in ruins.

For much of the past decade, Assad’s regime, bolstered by unwavering support from Iran and Russia, brutally suppressed dissent. What began as an uprising in 2011 evolved into a devastating civil war that eventually settled into an uneasy stalemate.

Israel has paved the way for a decisive strike against Iran’s nuclear programme by eliminating swathes of Syria’s military infrastructure, according to officials speaking to The Telegraph following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
