Israel denies reports of overnight strikes in Syria's Sweida
Israel on Friday denied reports on the Syrian state news agency that it had conducted further air strikes near the Druze-majority city of Sweida late the previous day. 'The (Israeli military) is not aware of overnight strikes in Syria,' a spokesperson told AFP. Israel bombed the Syrian army in Sweida and Damascus earlier this week to pressure the extremist-led government to withdraw its troops from the Druze heartland around Sweida following deadly sectarian clashes. Syrian troops pulled out on Thursday. Israel also announced on Friday that it is sending humanitarian aid to Sweida following days of deadly sectarian clashes in the Syrian province. 'Against the backdrop of recent attacks targeting the Druze community in Sweida and the severe humanitarian situation in the area, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has ordered the urgent transfer of humanitarian aid to the Druze population in the region,' the foreign ministry said in a statement. The aid package will amount to 2 million shekels (nearly $600,000) and will include food parcels and medical supplies, the ministry added.

Egypt Welcomes Tehran's Renaming of ‘Islamabouli Street' as a Turning Point in Relations with Iran
Egypt has welcomed Iran's decision to rename a Tehran street once dedicated to Khalid al-Islamabouli - the Egyptian army officer who assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981 - describing the move as a significant step toward resetting bilateral relations. In the first official Egyptian response to the development, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Tamim Khallaf told Asharq Al-Awsat: 'Renaming the street is a positive step in Egyptian-Iranian relations. It helps put matters back on the right track.' The street, long a source of tension between Cairo and Tehran, has now been renamed after Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, following a decision by the Tehran City Council. Iranian media reported that a formal ceremony was held to unveil the new name, attended by officials, intellectuals, and civil society figures. The change was part of a wider initiative that saw 11 streets in the capital renamed last month. Dr. Hoda Raouf, a Cairo-based expert on Iranian affairs, said the move reflects 'a meaningful shift and a clear sign of Iran's serious intent to restore relations with Egypt.' She noted that Egyptian-Iranian ties have two key dimensions: regional security - particularly Egypt's opposition to Iranian interference in countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen - and the bilateral relationship, which has long been strained over symbolic gestures such as honoring Sadat's assassin. Political philosopher and Iran specialist Dr. Mohamed Khairy echoed that assessment, calling the street name change 'a significant development.' He emphasized that the decision was passed by majority vote and attended by influential figures from Iran's political establishment, which he said reflects a genuine desire within Iran to repair ties with Cairo. The gesture comes amid signs of warming relations between the two nations. Iranian top diplomat Abbas Araghchi recently visited Cairo, where he met President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and senior officials. His visit included a symbolic walk through the historic Khan el-Khalili bazaar, prayers at the Al-Hussein Mosque, and dinner at the famed Naguib Mahfouz restaurant. Sisi also held a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the recent Israeli escalation against Iran, in which he affirmed Egypt's rejection of Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
