Israel has entered a new and more aggressive phase of its Gaza campaign, combining intensified airstrikes with a systematic ground sweep through key urban sectors and the largest underground tunnel networks Hamas has ever constructed. These fortified passages—some stretching for miles beneath densely populated neighborhoods—contain weapons stockpiles, communications hubs, and smuggling routes that have enabled the terror group to sustain conflict for years. Over the past 24 hours, Israeli combat engineers, accompanied by elite infantry units, collapsed more than two dozen tunnel access points and seized caches of explosives, rocket components, and encrypted communications gear.
Officials in Jerusalem say the goal is not only to neutralize immediate threats but to permanently dismantle the logistical backbone of Hamas’s military operations. The IDF has made it clear: partial measures have failed in the past. This time, the mission will not end until Hamas is disarmed and incapable of reconstituting its forces.
International diplomatic pressure is mounting. Representatives from the United States, Jordan, and the Gulf Cooperation Council have urged humanitarian pauses to allow aid into Gaza. Israel is resisting such calls unless accompanied by verifiable demilitarization steps. Officials point to past experience where ceasefires were exploited by Hamas to smuggle in new weapons. The official position is that genuine compassion cannot be separated from genuine security.
The streets of major world capitals reflected the global divide over Israel’s actions. In London, an estimated 20,000 people marched in protest; scuffles with police led to more than 500 arrests. Similar rallies in Paris, Istanbul, and Kuala Lumpur grew heated, with police deploying riot control measures in some locations. Israeli leaders reiterated that their defense is rooted not only in national sovereignty but also in the biblical covenant that grants the Jewish people the land as an eternal inheritance, a conviction grounded in Genesis 17 and echoed throughout the prophetic books.
Kyiv came under another wave of Russian missile and drone attacks in the early hours of the morning. While Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted the majority of incoming threats, several projectiles penetrated, striking a vocational school and a multi-story residential building. Emergency crews worked through the morning to rescue residents from upper floors, with at least a dozen people receiving treatment for injuries. Power outages were reported across several districts, highlighting Russia’s strategy to weaken Ukraine’s infrastructure before winter.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the nation from a reinforced bunker, quoting Psalm 46: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” He called for national unity, resilience, and unwavering faith in the face of continued aggression. European Union leaders met virtually with Zelenskyy and senior U.S. officials, reaffirming that Ukraine must be directly represented in any peace talks. This message comes ahead of the Alaska summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, a meeting already drawing intense speculation about potential ceasefire arrangements.
Global markets began the day in a holding pattern as traders processed the implications of the expired U.S.–China tariff truce. The absence of a renewed agreement has stirred concerns about escalating trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Wall Street opened flat, with investors awaiting critical inflation data later this week that could influence Federal Reserve policy.
The technology sector was particularly active following news that Nvidia and AMD reached an unprecedented deal with the U.S. government. In exchange for permission to continue exporting certain AI chips to China, the companies will remit 15 percent of their China-based revenue from these products directly to the U.S. Treasury. Supporters call it a pragmatic way to protect national security while keeping American firms competitive. Critics, however, warn it sets a dangerous precedent for government involvement in corporate operations.
Meanwhile, in the renewable energy sector, China’s largest battery manufacturer, CATL, halted production at a major lithium mine due to permit irregularities. The move caused lithium prices to jump nearly 8 percent overnight, sending shockwaves through industries reliant on the mineral for electric vehicles, grid storage, and consumer electronics. The incident highlights the fragility of global supply chains and raises concerns that strategic resources are increasingly vulnerable to geopolitical maneuvering.
In the world of science and technology, OpenAI’s announcement of GPT-5 is drawing intense attention. The new model is said to approach Ph.D.-level reasoning, capable of performing complex analysis, drafting legal frameworks, and processing vast amounts of data with minimal human oversight. While technology enthusiasts celebrate the breakthrough, voices within the Christian community warn of the ethical and spiritual implications of creating systems that could rival human judgment. Genesis 11’s account of the Tower of Babel serves as a reminder that mankind’s pursuit of greatness without submission to God leads to pride and eventual collapse.
NASA added to today’s remarkable developments with confirmation of a massive gas giant planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the closest star system to our own. Scientists believe the planet’s sheer size and orbit may influence the system’s habitability, sparking fresh debates about life beyond Earth. For believers, the discovery is a stunning testament to the scale and creativity of God’s design, underscoring Psalm 19:1—“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
And tonight, nature offers a reminder of beauty and wonder with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. While the bright Sturgeon Moon may limit visibility, each meteor streaking across the sky is a celestial whisper of the Creator’s majesty.
