Druze activists in Suwayda clarified that a video circulating today on X and other social media platforms—shared by both Druze and Israeli accounts and alleged to show a massacre of civilians by government forces inside Suwayda National Hospital—does not depict a massacre. Instead, it shows a collection point for Druze fighters who were killed in recent clashes with the Syrian Army.
The Syrian Army has started withdrawing from the Suwayda Governorate in southern Syria tonight, following a U.S.-brokered agreement between the Druze community, Israel, and Syria. As part of the deal, security forces under Syria’s Interior Ministry are expected to stay in the region.

Message from Netanyahu on Syria:
"My brothers, Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in Suwayda, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious. The IDF is operating, the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating.
We are working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs.
And now I have one request of you: You are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border. You are putting your lives at risk; you could be killed, you could be kidnapped, and you are hindering the IDF's efforts. Therefore, I ask you—return to your homes, let the IDF operate"
Axios reporter Barak Ravid says the Trump administration is nearing a de-escalation agreement between Israel and Syria, following tensions sparked by Israel’s continued strikes on the Syrian Army despite U.S. requests to pause military action.

The Yemeni National Resistance Forces, under the command of General Tareq Saleh, have intercepted more than 750 tons of Iranian weaponry en route to the Houthis — marking the largest seizure of its kind to date.
The cache included cruise and anti-aircraft missiles, drone engines, radar equipment, and Farsi-language manuals, all traced back to Iran’s Ministry of Defense.
U.S. CENTCOM Commander General Erik Kurilla stated, “Iran continues to be the most destabilizing force in the region.”

The Trump administration has reiterated its request for Israel to cease airstrikes in Syria and pursue dialogue with the Damascus government to reduce tensions, a senior U.S. official told Axios.
According to the official, U.S. Special Envoy to Syria Tom Brack met with Israeli Minister Ron Dermer on both Tuesday and Wednesday to press for de-escalation.
For the third time today, hundreds of Israeli Druze have crossed the border into Syria to protest the escalating violence in Suwayda. Many demonstrators expressed frustration, accusing Israel of “not doing enough” to support the Druze-majority militias, despite ongoing Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian Army forces and government facilities in Damascus.

Israel continues to carry out more strikes against the Syrian Army and the Government of President al-Sharaa than it ever did against the Syrian Arab Army and the Iranian-backed Assad Regime prior to its fall in December. A reminder that Syria under al-Sharaa has launched zero attacks or even facilitated attacks against Israel, in fact they have been actively attempting to prevent attacks by Iran against Israel.
An Israeli military official confirmed they are in close coordination with U.S. counterparts regarding developments in Syria.
IDF released drone strike footage on Syrian Army equipment near Druze areas in Suwayda.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned: “Southern Syria will become a demilitarized zone. We recently struck near the General Staff in Damascus. If the message isn’t understood, more strikes will follow.”

Netanyahu: “This is the eighth front. The disinformation campaign is among us. You know, it takes a second for a lie to circulate the world, and then you have to battle it with the only weapon you have, which is the truth. And truth is slower than lies and more difficult to ascertain because you have to get the facts. When you lie, you can say anything, and it’s instantaneous.
When you tell the truth, you have to ascertain the facts. And until you do that in the electronic age, boy, that lie could encircle the earth a thousand times. So it’s a handicap. But we’ll fight the information war too. And basically, you have the weapon of truth.
We just have to be more efficient at the disclaimer. I think we have to shame the media that does this. I know you’re sort of tepid and mild about that. You should continue with your passion to speak for the truth and to shame those who spread the lies. I don’t see any other solution.
Do you?”

According to the Washington Post, U.S. President Trump is likely to grant Ukraine permission to use its limited stock of the long-range variant of the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which have a range of over 200 miles and were provided to the Ukrainian Armed Forces beginning in 2024 for their M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), to strike targets deep inside of Russia.
Additionally, President Trump is said to be considering providing Ukraine with a land-based variant of the “Tomahawk” Land-Attack Cruise Missile (TLAM), which has an unclassified range of well over 1,000 miles and would easily allow Ukraine to strike Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other targets extremely deep inside Russia, even as far as the Ural Mountains.
🚨 GAZA UPDATE

• Reservists from Brigade 646 uncovered a field of explosive devices, which was subsequently neutralized by an Israeli Air Force strike.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced yesterday in Washington that Germany has formally submitted a request to the U.S. Department of Defense to acquire the “Typhon” Strategic Mid-Range Fires System (SMRF). This ground-based launcher is capable of firing both Tomahawk Land-Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAMs) and Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) interceptors.
If approved, the acquisition would give Germany the capability to conduct long-range strikes deep into Russian territory—including as far as Moscow—should a large-scale conflict erupt in Europe.
🚨USA 🇺🇸/Indonesia 🇮🇩:

“I negotiated directly with their respected president,” Trump stated.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for Vladimir Putin, mocked President Trump’s ultimatum this morning, in which Trump gave Putin 50 days to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also downplayed the ultimatum, saying, “Fifty days? Before it was 24 hours, then 100 days… we’ve been through all of this before.”

During a phone call on July 4th, U.S. President Donald J. Trump reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to escalate long-range strikes inside Russian territory, even inquiring whether Ukraine could target Moscow if supplied with the appropriate weapons, according to sources familiar with the conversation who spoke to the Financial Times. The call came just hours after Trump had a tense exchange with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he later described publicly as “bad.” According to those briefed on the discussion, Trump asked Zelensky, “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow?… Can you hit St. Petersburg too?” to which Zelensky replied, “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons.”
The Senate is advancing a major bill introduced by Senator Ted Cruz that seeks to formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. If passed, the legislation would cut off the group’s financial resources and impose broad sanctions on its global network.

I also anticipate new tariffs and sanctions will be made available to President Trump—tools he’s never had before. And I believe we’ll see greater support from Europe in aiding Ukraine.” Graham added that Putin miscalculated badly: “For six months, President Trump tried to bring him to the negotiating table. Instead, the attacks escalated. One of Putin’s biggest mistakes was thinking he could outplay Trump.”
