Zionist enemy police arrest protesters demanding ceasefire & prisoner release
Occupied Quds - Saba:
On Thursday evening, the Zionist enemy police arrested at least four protesters during a demonstration on "Begin" Road in Jaffa (Tel Aviv), calling for a deal to release Zionist prisoners in Gaza and an end to the ongoing war.
According to enemy media sources, three protesters were taken to the "Lev Tel Aviv" police station, while a fourth was transferred to another facility after being detained inside a police vehicle.
The newspaper Haaretz reported that the arrests occurred after protesters blocked traffic on "Namir" Road, a vital route leading to Begin Street in the city center.
The protest followed a march that started at Rabin Square and headed toward the vicinity of the Israeli army headquarters (the Kirya). The march was led by a group of Israeli soldiers' mothers demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the return of prisoners.
Opposition Leader Calls for End to War
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated that it is time to end the war in Gaza, urging the leadership to change its failing strategy.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lapid said, "Tel Aviv has failed in Gaza, and the war has reached a dead end," calling for its conclusion to secure the prisoners' release.
"What we are doing now isn't working. The war has reached a deadlock," he added.
He continued, "It is time to end the war in Gaza. The leadership must know when to change strategy when it stops succeeding."
Lapid further emphasized, "It is not right to leave Israeli soldiers in Gaza as targets for further attacks."
Criticism of Netanyahu's Motives
The Israeli opposition and prisoners' families accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging the war to appease the far-right extremists in his government, serving his personal political interests—particularly his grip on power—rather than national priorities.

Pentagon: U.S. Forces Evacuated Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar Ahead of Iranian Strike
The Pentagon revealed on Thursday that U.S. forces conducted a preemptive evacuation of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar shortly before it was targeted by an Iranian missile strike, describing the move as a critical success in averting casualties and damage. According to General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the evacuation was carried out based on direct orders from former President Donald Trump, following intelligence indicating an imminent attack. Kane praised the operation as a 'major achievement,' noting that U.S. air defenses successfully intercepted the incoming missiles before they reached the base2. The strike was part of a broader Iranian response to recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on nuclear and military facilities inside Iran. In parallel, American forces launched precision airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, including the Fordow facility, which was reportedly destroyed, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth described the mission as 'one of the most complex in U.S. military history,' emphasizing that the strikes were based on accurate intelligence and achieved their strategic objectives without escalating into full-scale war. The Pentagon's disclosure comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf, with Washington reaffirming its commitment to protecting its regional assets while avoiding broader conflict.

Ballistic Missile from Yemen Falls in Central Israel, Triggers Alarms but Causes No Casualties
A ballistic missile launched from Yemen early Thursday morning landed in an open area near central Israel, according to the Israeli military, marking the latest escalation in cross-border tensions involving the Iran-backed Houthi movement. The missile, reportedly aimed at the Tel Aviv area, penetrated Israeli airspace from the southeast before falling in an unpopulated zone approximately six kilometers from Ben Gurion Airport. The impact caused a fire but no injuries or significant damage were reported. Air raid sirens sounded across Tel Aviv and surrounding cities, prompting residents to seek shelter. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that interceptor missiles from the Arrow defense system were launched, but it remains unclear whether the missile was successfully intercepted or fell before impact. Israeli media outlets reported that debris from an interceptor missile landed near a train station in Modi'in, while authorities temporarily suspended operations at Ben Gurion Airport as a precaution. The Houthi military spokesperson later claimed responsibility, stating that the missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport and warning airlines to avoid the area, calling it 'unsafe'. This incident follows a series of long-range attacks by the Houthis in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, and comes amid heightened regional tensions despite recent ceasefire efforts between Iran and Israel.
