Operation Sindoor: India begins to operations to punish Pakistan's ally..., Indian Air Force chief reaches
Has India's 'operation' started against Turkey, which helped Pakistan during Operation Sindoor? These questions are being raised because Indian Air Force Chief Amar Preet Singh has arrived on a visit to Greece. Relations between Greece and Turkey have been very bad and for a long time there was a demand that India should increase military cooperation with Greece to counter Turkey.
On reaching Greece, Indian Air Force Chief AP Singh was welcomed by Hellenic Air Force (HAF) Chief Lieutenant General Dimosthenis Grigoriadis. On the surface, this visit may seem to be a part of normal military cooperation, but it has much more political and strategic meaning.
India and Greece have multilateral exercises
India and Greece have multilateral exercises named 'Iniochos 23' and 'Iniochos 25'. Although there have already been military relations between the two countries with the 'Taranga Shakti' military exercise, the timing and meaning of this visit of Air Force Chief AP Singh must have worried Turkey. This is the same Turkey which remains a strategic partner of Pakistan and has recently become a major platform for anti-India voices.
On reaching Greece, the Indian Air Force Chief was briefed about the organisation, mission and operational activities of the Hellenic Air Force (HAF). Apart from this, increasing bilateral cooperation between the two countries in areas like operations and training has been discussed. During his visit to Greece, the Indian Air Force Chief, along with the Chief of HAFGS, is scheduled to visit the Fighter Wing of the Hellenic Air Force as well as the Hellenic Air Force Academy at Dekelia Air Base in Tatoi.
Greece is looking at the way the Indian Air Force carried out precise attacks on Pakistan's terrorist infrastructure during Operation Sindoor as a case study. According to Greece City Times, the Greek Air Force has sought strategic information and tactical data from India about this operation, especially the accuracy with which India used advanced platforms like Rafale and Sukhoi. This shows that India has changed its strategy and has made the policy of responding to Turkey in its own language a part of its planning.

'Kill and eat the Jews': Cartoon in Gaza incites children to violence against Jews...
'Kill and eat the Jews': Cartoon in Gaza incites children to violence against Jews… Tell Aviv: Israeli soldiers have been fighting in Gaza in response to the October 2023 massacre. Several Hamas terrorists have been hunted down and killed. Several hostages have been released from both sides; however, several Israeli hostages are still in the custody of Hamas. Amid all this, Israel recently announced the complete occupation of Gaza. Meanwhile, a report from the United States has emerged that shocked everyone. The report claims that the seeds of hatred and violence against Jews and Israelis were sown in the minds of children. The report states that children were brainwashed through cartoon shows, which inspired them to kill the Israelis and martyr themselves in war. What Did The Report Say? According to a New York Post report, a children's TV program Tomorrow's Pioneers, which aired in Palestine between 2007 and 2009, has been accused of inciting violence in the minds of children. The TV show incited innocent people to anti-Semitic violence and glorified 'martyrdom'. According to the report, the show aired every Friday on Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV, in which cartoon characters, including a Mickey Mouse-like character named Farfur, gave children the message to 'kill' Israelis, 'fight for Islamic supremacy' and 'liberate' Jerusalem from murderers. As per a report by New York Post, TV program named 'Tomorrow Pioneers', has been accused of inciting violence in children. The cartoon show was aired between 2007 and 2009 in Palestine. This show incited youngsters to anti-Semitic violence and glorified 'martyrdom'. The report stated that. The TV show used to air every Friday on Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV. In the show, mickey mouse like cartoon characters, named Farfur, tell children to 'kill' Israelis, 'fight for Islamic supremacy' and 'liberate' Jerusalem from murderers. 'kill And Eat The Jews' The report states that in one episode, a rabbit character even says, 'I will exterminate the Jews and eat them.' Farfur, the cartoon character, was later shown beaten to death by Israeli soldiers and replaced with a new character. According to Mia Bloom, a professor at Georgia State University, she termed it as 'terrible propaganda' and 'mental abuse of children'. She stated that such type of content deepened the belief in children that all Israelis are bad and should be killed. Bloom stated that this ideological influence has affected the mindset of certain fighters who were involved in the Hamas assault on October 7, 2023. She further likened it to the indoctrination methods used by the Taliban and ISIS. TV Show Got Suspended After massive international criticism, in 2009, Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti requested the cartoon show should be suspended. However, it continued to air and backed by Al-Aqsa TV chairman Fathi Hammad. Fathi Hammad backed the TV show by saying that it 'does not violate the rules in any way.' He also refused to make any changes to the program.

Dark clouds fail to deter the spirits of people at Red Fort on the 79th Independence Day
The 79th Independence Day programme, themed around 'Naya Bharat' and Operation Sindoor, took place on Friday (August 15, 2025) morning under overcast skies. The grey skies and intermittent rainfall, however, did not dampen the spirits of those in the audience as they cheered during the 103-minute speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Red Fort. The guests ranged from the Indian contingent of Special Olympics 2025 and village sarpanches to beneficiaries of the Lakhpati Didi scheme and best-performing interns under the PM internship scheme. Before the PM unfurled the national flag at 7.30 a.m., it began raining, leading many to cover up with raincoats provided at the venue. A pop of colour appeared in the grey skies when Indian Air Force helicopters showered flower petals on the audience, and when Tiranga balloons were released in the air. The children in the audience ran around the venue to collect the petals that were being showered and cheered as the balloons were seen floating in the sky. Rohit Singh, 38, a private sector employee who keeps traveling between Lucknow and Delhi, said the rain did not matter, as it was his first time attending the Independence Day function. 'The entire programme was systematic and it instilled a patriotic feeling. It is special because my five-year-old daughter was excited and enjoyed the programme.' For his daughter, Samriddhi Singh, 5, who collected flower petals from the floor and kept it in her pocket, the most memorable part of the programme was the 'shower of flower petals'. Also Read | Independence Day highlights Sitting in the visitor's section, Neha Yadav (24) from Faridabad, exclaimed how attending the larger than live event has always been a far fetched dream. 'None of us ever thought we could hear the Prime Minister's address from the Red Fort, but when my nephew, a student at Delhi University arranged passes for us, I was ecstatic,' she said. While visitors shared their joy of being able to be part of the event, those like the sportspersons and Lakhpati didis who received invites as the special guests for the celebration expressed sheer joy and sentimentality. Speaking to The Hindu, Bhawna Yadav (36), a beneficiary of the Lakhpati didi scheme and drone, exclaimed how receiving a special invitation made her labour feel recognised. 'I have been working as a Banking correspondent for 4 years and operating a drone for a year to spray crops, but being selected as a special guest from my state has made me feel that my labour is recognised,' she said. For Heena Rajgur, a sportsperson from Gujarat who practices Yogasana, the journey from seeing the event on television to being a special guest for the event has been joyous and special. 'My family would always huddle near our television to watch the Prime Minister deliver the Independence Day speech, and now to be invited for the event has been an emotional journey,' said Ms. Rajgur. As the Prime Minister's speech ended, he made his way from the podium to the enclosure where several NCC cadet members were seated. Walking in a saffron turban, Mr. Modi crossed the sea of white and try-colour uniform wearing cadets and interacted with them. A group of three NCC cadets, Rosa, Himanshi and Swati, from Zakir Hussain Delhi College said that PM addressing Operation Sindoor made them feel 'patriotic'. One of them, Himanshi Bisht, 19, said, 'Our favourite part of the programme was when the PM mentioned GST reforms.' Another student, Prachi Nanda Thakur, 20, said, 'The PM stopped by and told us 'How could I leave without meeting you all?' It was a good feeling.' Meanwhile, Harshita Dargan, 18, a B Tech student, said, 'We were glad to hear the PM speak about technology and the future of India.' Band performances were conducted by the bands of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Indian Coast Guard, NCC, CRPF, ITBP, CISF, SSB, BSF, IDS, RPF and Assam Rifles at over 140 prominent locations throughout the country. Meanwhile, to commemorate the Independence Day celebration, the Capital had been fortified with the deployment of over 11,000 security forces and 3,000 traffic police to ensure the safety of the attendees of the high-profile event. Commercial vehicles were prohibited from entering the city for a day in advance several special teams were deployed for round-the-clock monitoring. Surveillance was also done through CCTV cameras, drone detection systems and facial recognition systems.
