ALBAWABA - Members of the Islamist group "Saraya Ansar al-Sunna" claimed responsibility for the massive fires that have swept through Syria's coastal mountains for the past four days.
In a statement posted on their Telegram account, the group said, "The fighters of Saraya Ansar al-Sunna set fire to the Qastal Mountains in the Latakia countryside on the 3rd of Muharram."
The statement added that "the fires spread to other areas, forcing residents of some villages in the Latakia countryside to flee their homes, and a number of them suffered from suffocation."

It's worth noting that Ansar al-Sunna mercenaries previously claimed responsibility for the bombing of the Saint Elias Church in al-Duwaileh, Damascus.
For days, the northern Latakia countryside has been witnessing uncontrollable fires that have swept through vast areas of forests, with firefighters and residents struggling to control them.
The fires, which have been raging since July 3, have cut off the international highway between Latakia and Turkey, and have put power plants out of service due to the intensity of the fires and the dense smoke.
Jordan's Armed Forces sent two Black Hawk helicopters from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, equipped with specialized crews and advanced technical equipment, to help control the fires and limit their spread, protecting lives and property.
Turkey also sent firefighters to help Syria extinguish the fire that erupted in the coastal area.

Cars flying in the air: New video documents Israeli airstrike in Iran

Published July 3rd, 2025 - 11:32 GMT ALBAWABA - Iranian television channels released new footage on Thursday, claiming it documents an Israeli bombing of Tehran during the war. The video shows the moment of the attack, which caused dozens of cars to fly into the air, causing a huge explosion that shook the entire area. Israel and Iran war began when Tel Aviv carried out airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and attacked Iranian military commanders and scientists, killing dozens on June 13. The Iranian-Israeli conflict continued for 12 days before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement on June 24, declaring an end to the war. "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Trump said via Truth Social. It is worth noting that the ceasefire deal was agreed on the 12th day of the war between Tehran and Tel Aviv. توثيق لقصف اسرائيلي على طهران خلال الحرب ويظهر في الفيديو تطاير عشرات السيارات في الهواء وانفجار كبير هز المنطقة بأكملها. — جريدة القدس (@alqudsnewspaper) July 3, 2025 © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Netanyahu's son buys expensive apartment in UK, registers it under different name

ALBAWABA - Hebrew media has been buzzing in the past few days over the report that the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had bought an expensive apartment in the United Kingdom and registered it under a different name, the Middle East Eye said. Israeli business and economics newspaper, the Calcalist, reported that Avner Netanyahu paid $680,000 to buy an apartment in Oxford back in 2022, but he didn't have to legally report the purchase to the Israeli tax authorities. According to the Calcalist, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid exactly 1.98 million shekels to get the home in the UK, which is a bit below the foreign asset reporting threshold of two million shekels. نتنياهو يشتري لابنه شقة فاخرة في بريطانيا بـ500 ألف جنيه إسترليني ويُغيّر اسمه إلى أبراهام سيغال، وكل هذا يتم بينما آلاف الأسر في إسرائيل بلا مأوى بسبب سياساته الفاشلة والمجحفة. هل هذا عدل؟! — مايسه الرومي יהודי תימן (@Misa_Roumi) July 2, 2025 Sources reported that Netanyahu registered the new apartment in Oxford under the name Avi Avner Segal - a legal alias he adopted based on his paternal grandmother's maiden name. It is worth noting that Netanyahu got the apartment without the need to get a mortgage. "I changed my name on my ID card at the Israeli interior ministry, and then changed my passport and driver's licence. It's a package deal," Avner Netanyahu said.
