Israel has struck Russia’s Khmeimim base in the coastal city of Latakia, Syria. The base which is used by Russia to store weapons and ammunition was struck by an Israeli missile which eluded the Russian air defense system. The attack which happened during the midnight was carried out after an Iranian cargo plane from Qeshm Fars Airlines landed in the military base of Russia in Latakia. The Iranian cargo plane which did not have any official announcement landed after an initial Iranian plane landed in the base but was announced by the media as a plan carrying humanitarian supplies for the people of Lebanon. The bomb which also hit various military spots in Latakia province, in addition to the assault on the warehouse, started around 3:55am an hour after the plane landed.  Prodesq gathered that the Israeli launched thirty missiles from their warships in the Mediterranean Sea, which triggered Russia air patrols over the Latakia airspace.  Russian media reported that “An Iranian Boeing-747 with the code QFZ9951, operated by Fars Air Qeshm, landed stealthily at Latakia Airport, with its navigation systems off, the previous morning. It departed eight hours before the attack,”.  It further disclosed that “State media of the country have alleged that Israeli forces targeted locations in Syria’s western coastal cities.” . Israeli media reported that Israeli missiles “allegedly” targeted and struck targets in the Jableh area of Syria, with several fire fighters combating the explosion.  Syrian media reported that the Syrian air defense systems were actively engaging incoming targets over Latakia, Jebla, and Tartus for a period exceeding 40 minutes. Russia has yet to make any official statement about the attack on its military base in Latakia, Syria by Israel. 

Twin blasts rocked the embassy of Israel in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, on Wednesday morning after Iran’s missile attacks on Israel on Tuesday night. The Danish police said that the explosion was caused by the use of hand grenades and no casualties were recorded at the scene of the blast which was 100m away from the Israeli embassy. Jens Jespersen, the Copenhagen Police Chief Superintendent said that investigations are ongoing and three suspects have been detained since Wednesday afternoon. He said “We can’t say for sure if the embassy has been or not been the target of these explosions … We are also investigating if they have acted alone, on request or together with others,” He hinted that the three suspects were Swedish nationals, two of the perpetrators were arrested on a train at Copenhagen’s main railway station shortly after the incident occurred while the third suspect was arrested somewhere else in the capital. He refused to make any further comment about how the three suspects were connected and if they were related to any terrorist organizations or if the attack was linked to any particular terrorist activity. Jespersen, however, disclosed that the Danish security and intelligence service has begun assisting police with the investigation and assessing the already high security level around locations linked to the Jewish community in Denmark. A Jewish school which is located near the embassy was closed after the blast due to security concerns about the attack on the Jewish community in Denmark in wake of the Israeli war in the Middle East.  Soaring security concerns have been raised by the Jewish community in Denmark as they have been facing various backlash over Israel’s invasion of Gaza and Lebanon. The identities of the perpetrators as being Swedish have raised more questions about the nature of the Swedish authorities in securing the Jewish community in their country as Prodesq gathered that in January, a Stockholm police bomb squad disarmed what investigators called a dangerous object outside the Israeli embassy building in the Swedish capital. 

Recep Erdogan, the president of Turkey has issued a stern warning against Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon which began last month. President Erdogan said that the consequences of Israel’s invasion of Lebanon would be severely different from what happened in the invasion of Gaza and the West Bank.  While making this statement at the reopening of Turkey’s parliament after the summer recess, he said  “The consequences of a ground operation in Lebanon will not be similar to (Israel’s) past occupations.”  He added that “Driven by the delusion of ‘promised land’, after Palestine and Lebanon, the Israeli government will set its sights on our (Turkish) homeland,”. He highlighted that the Israeli actions in the region is a deliberate act of state terrorism that is being supported by the western states which would have dire consequences for the entire region and the world at large.  Erdogan pressed the Israeli conquest of invading and occupying neighboring countries in the Middle East as a way of trying to secure their Biblical claims which he pointed out that after Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon, the next target would be Turkey. He further stated that “Occupation, terror and aggression are right next to us. We’re not facing a state bound by law, but a horde of killers that thrives on blood and feeds off Occupation.” He urged the Turkish parliament to see the threats of Israel as a sign of disarraying the region and taking over the region as a whole and he firmly believes that an action is necessary to halt the Israeli occupation and aggression against other middle eastern countries. 

It was a turbulent Tuesday in Israel as two Palestinians men opened fire sporadically on innocent civilians in the city of Jaffa and killed seven people while 16 others were severely injured. The attack which took place a couple of hours before the Iranian missile attacks on several locations in Israel was one of the deadliest ground assaults on Israel since the October 7 Hamas attack. The Israeli police confirmed that the attackers carried out their attacks in light rail station on Jaffa’s Jerusalem Boulevard, the two Palestinians men were armed with one Ak-47 rifle and a knife and were shot and killed by a passerby and a municipal security guard.  The police said that two of the victims were 30-year-old Lod resident Shahar Goldman and 33-year-old Tel Aviv resident Inbar Segev-Vigder while one of the victims was a 17-year-old girl, the police disclosed. The Israeli Police further confirmed the identity of the two assailants as  Muhammad Khalef Saher Rajab and Hassan Muhammad Hassan Tamimi, who were both in their 20s and were from the city of Hebron in the West Bank.  Prodesq confirmed that the attackers were not permitted to be present in Israel and that the Israeli authorities are investigating how the two assailants were able to obtain access into Israeli territory. Haim Sargrof, Tel Aviv district commander, has confirmed that there were no other assailants involved in the attack and has called on the public to remain calm. A large number of police officers and the IDF counterterrorism unit conducted searches in the area, including a raid on the mosque from which the assailants were seen emerging from, the Israeli police arrested several individuals present in the mosque on suspicion of being involved in the attack.

Israel’s Iron Dome could not uphold its defense when Iran’s hypersonic ballistic missiles and Shaed drones dropped massively into Tel Aviv on Tuesday night. The attack which began around 8:pm GMT, saw a wave of missiles flying over the city of Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel. Alarms were heard across Israel and a series of explosions were heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley. The Israelis were reported running into their bomb shelters in a panic mode. Prodesq, gathered that the Iranian attack was a retaliation against Israel for its attack against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday last week in Beirut.  The missile attacks which began after Israel began their ground assault against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon after a failed attempt on Sunday night. Iran which has vowed to retaliate against Israel for its incursion into Lebanon and Gaza sent an envoy message to the United Nations on Tuesday night after the attack which was also posted on the Iran United Nations Mission X account, said that, “Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime—which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran—has been duly carried out. Should the Zionist regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue. Regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime.” However, the Jordanian government has claimed to have shot down several of the Iranian missiles that flew over its airspace with the help from the United States military stationed in the country. President Biden has also issued a statement condemning the Iranian attack on Israel and also voiced his support for Israel, he disclosed this on his X account, Biden said,  “We discussed how the United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks, and protect American personnel in the region,”. Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, has announced that the Iranian attack on Israel will set a precedent for a new era in the region while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised a tougher response against Iran.
