The deadly, back-to-back pager/two-way radio attacks against Hezbollah, which killed dozens and wounded thousands of its operatives, undoubtedly signaled a new phase in the intense cross-border exchanges between the group and Israel.
Over the past few days, the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has entered a precarious new phase, with Israel carrying out both unconventional attacks and heavy airstrikes against the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group, while Hezbollah has responded with an increase in retaliatory fire.

في أروقة السلطة في بروكسل، من الشائع سماع أن منصب الممثل الأعلى للاتحاد الأوروبي للشؤون الخارجية والسياسة الأمنية هو مهمة مستحيلة. وقد يصبح الأمر أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة لرئيسة الوزراء الإستونية المنتهية ولايتها كاجا كالاس، التي من المقرر أن تخلف الإسباني جوزيب بوريل كرئيسة للسياسة الخارجية للاتحاد الأوروبي في الأسابيع المقبلة.

The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden, is a crucial chokepoint for global maritime commerce. Despite the strait’s importance, the waters around it have long been plied by smugglers of weapons and other illicit goods. Djibouti today is an important player in trade in the Horn of Africa region, but it also serves as a conduit for Chinese influence, has been linked to malign actors like Iran and the Houthis, and has faced allegations of involvement in various grey and black market activities, including money laundering, illicit finance, oil smuggling, and weapons trafficking.
