🇮🇷| The IRGC has teased its new air defense system
It says: “People of Islamic Iran, who have always stood firm: Thanks to your blessed presence and your continued participation in street gatherings and nightly rallies, the IRGC is now sharing demonstrations of its strength with you.
Over the past few weeks, the IRGC’s new and advanced air defense systems have achieved what it describes as an unparalleled feat on the world stage, intercepting and destroying dozens of advanced enemy drones.
Young IRGC officers, pursuing the dual objectives of strengthening strategic depth both domestically and abroad, are demonstrating remarkable capabilities across all fronts of the hybrid war against the American-Zionist aggressor. Armed with ingenuity, intelligence, and advanced capabilities, they are creating scenes rarely witnessed in the history of military conflict.
Our message to you, the dear people of Iran, can now be summed up in one sentence: In the coming nights, take to the streets in even greater numbers, raise the sacred flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran high, and chant God is the Greatest.
Devoted to all those who sacrifice their lives for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

❗️️️️Hamas mourns senior Qassam commander Samir Abu Younis, assassinated by Israel in southern Gaza
Expand
Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced the assassination of senior resistance commander Samir Mahmoud Abu Younis (Abu Mahmoud), a member of its General Military Council and commander of the Rafah Brigade, in an Israeli airstrike on Al-Mawasi, southern Gaza, on Saturday, 14 November.
According to eyewitnesses, four Israeli missiles struck a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Waha camp, sparking a fire. Medical sources at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis reported receiving Abu Younis’s body and three wounded Palestinians.
The Israeli military and security agency confirmed carrying out the assassination, describing him as a central Hamas figure working to rebuild the Rafah Brigade’s military capabilities.
Abu Younis, 53, joined the Palestinian resistance in 1991 and held several senior operational positions. According to the Qassam Brigades, he participated in numerous major resistance operations and was among the key commanders involved in planning and overseeing the 7 October, 2023 operation.
He had assumed command of the Rafah Brigade on 15 September, following the assassination of its previous commander, Nael Abu Obeid.
In its statement, the Qassam mourned Abu Younis as a senior commander who had dedicated decades to the Palestinian resistance, condemning his killing as a “cowardly assassination.”
❗️️️️Car bomb near Damascus kills father and daughter amid string of explosions across Syria
Expand
A suspected car bombing in Jaramana, a suburb southeast of the Syrian capital Damascus, killed a father and his young daughter on Saturday, 14 November, and left his wife seriously injured, according to Al Jazeera.
The explosion reportedly originated from an explosive device planted inside a Kia Rio parked between two residential buildings.
Syria’s Internal Security Forces cordoned off the area and launched an investigation.
Jaramana, home to a large Druze community, has experienced tensions between some Druze residents and supporters of President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government.
According to three sources who spoke to The Cradle, the car bombing in Jaramana, near Damascus, on Saturday evening was an assassination targeting Mohammad Shah Mousawi, the son of prominent Shia cleric Sayyed Taher Mousawi, who is of Pakistani origin and was born in Damascus. Mohammad and his only daughter were killed instantly when an explosive device planted in his vehicle detonated as he traveled from Sayyida Zainab to Jaramana to purchase household necessities.
A family source confirmed that Mohammad, the only son of his parents, had never received threats or had known enemies. His wife, originally from Homs, was not in the vehicle. His father had left Syria following the fall of Bashar Assad’s government, while Mohammad remained with his family, working as a delivery driver to support them. Images showed the vehicle completely charred by the explosion. Syrian authorities confirmed the deaths of a man and a young girl, with at least one other person injured, as the bombing comes amid recurring assassinations, explosions, and deteriorating security across Syria.
The deadly blast comes amid a series of bombings and security incidents across Syria in recent months.
Previous incidents included a double-tap attack in July, which Syrian authorities attributed to an ISIS-affiliated cell, and a deadly bombing at a café frequented by lawyers near Damascus’s Palace of Justice.
Syrian authorities have also reported foiling planned attacks and arresting suspected ISIS operatives, including four people detained in September over attacks in several provinces.
Despite claims of alleged security improvements since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, recurring explosions and armed attacks continue to underscore the country’s fragile security situation.

❗️️️️️️️Yemeni forces announce downing of fifth Saudi drone, repel Saudi warplanes
In the early hours of 15 November, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that Yemeni forces had shot down a Saudi CH-4 armed reconnaissance drone while it was conducting hostile operations over Al-Jawf province, using what he described as an appropriate weapon.
Saree said this was the fifth Saudi drone downed since the beginning of the escalation.
In a separate announcement, he said Yemeni air defenses had confronted several formations of Saudi warplanes using domestically manufactured surface-to-air missiles, forcing them to withdraw. No location was specified for this operation.
❗️️️️️️️Netanyahu, Eisenkot hold unity government talks amid deepening divisions in Israeli politics
Expand
Negotiating teams representing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party and Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar! party are set to meet Sunday evening to discuss forming a national unity government, according to Ynet.
The talks come amid deep disagreements over who would lead the coalition, with Eisenkot, who has been tasked by President Isaac Herzog with forming a government, insisting that he serve as prime minister and rejecting any power-sharing or rotation agreement with Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has called for unity government negotiations without preconditions, while Eisenkot has dismissed the proposal as a political maneuver aimed at undermining efforts to establish an alternative government with ultra-Orthodox support.
The proposed coalition could include Netanyahu’s Religious Zionism allies, although Eisenkot has ruled out negotiations with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party.
Meanwhile, opposition to Netanyahu remains fierce. Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu party has rejected joining a Likud-led government, with lawmaker Yulia Malinovsky comparing negotiations with Netanyahu to dealing with the “Tinder Swindler.” She accused him of exploiting calls for unity whenever his political survival is threatened. Lawmakers are also preparing for a Tuesday vote to replace Likud’s Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana with Yashar!’s Matan Kahana, potentially further weakening Netanyahu’s parliamentary position.
Separately, Eisenkot has reached an agreement with Yair Golan’s Democrats party to establish a parliamentary committee tasked with reversing Netanyahu’s controversial judicial overhaul. According to Ynet, the committee is expected to begin advancing legislation this week to reverse changes to judicial appointments and strengthen the independence of the attorney general’s office, as Eisenkot’s bloc seeks to consolidate a parliamentary majority capable of replacing Netanyahu.
#WesternSyria | W #Homs: Alawite Man Shot Dead in #Qusayr Countryside in Front of His Farm
Mr. Ali Aqil al-Shakl was shot dead yesterday, Saturday, November 14, 2026, with four bullets fired directly at him by a terrorist group believed to belong to the #HTS-led General Security militias. He was killed instantly while standing at the gate of his farm in the village of #Rabla (home to Alawites and Christians) in the Qusayr countryside of Homs governorate.
His killing came after the assassination of his brother, Nasr Aqel al-Shakl, on August 9, 2025. Both belonged to the Alawite community.
🌟 一 Iraqi Islamic Resistance - Kataib Hezbollah:
"We have entered negotiations to regulate weapons, and we reached an agreement with the Framework and the government, but the PM broke his promise. His office has been fabricating lies by publishing fabricated reports on Emirati and Saudi channels, as well as some local channels and paid media outlets that have followed suit, subjecting us to the largest extortion attempt to abandon the resistance’s weapons.
The issues of Al-Jurf and the resistance’s weaponry must be kept out of political conflict, and we will not deviate from this principle, no matter how much pressure is exerted by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the Americans through the Al-Zaidi government".

🇾🇪🇾🇪 This is the latest map of the Ansarullah government forces’ advance.
In order to fully secure Bab al Mandab the Saudi mercenaries must be cleaned out of the remaining areas all the way to Kharaz.
This may take several days or weeks, depending on the intelligence on the PLC retreat.
