Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday confirmed the elimination of Muhammad Sinwar, a senior Hamas commander and younger brother of former Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar, in a targeted Israeli airstrike.
Muhammad Sinwar had risen to prominence within Hamas after the death of his brother Yahya, who was killed by Israeli forces in October last year. Taking over as a senior commander in the group’s military wing, Muhammad played a critical role in directing operations and was believed to be the de facto leader of Hamas’s military structure in Gaza following the death of Muhammad Deif in July 2024.
“Based on all indications, Muhammad Sinwar was killed in a strike carried out on the grounds of the European Hospital in Khan Younis,” said Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz earlier this month. Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) had previously targeted underground tunnels and command centres located beneath the hospital, which intelligence claimed were being used by Hamas militants.
According to a report by Saudi news outlet Al-Hadath, Sinwar’s body was recently recovered along with the remains of at least ten aides. The same strike is also believed to have killed Mohammad Shabana, commander of Hamas’s Rafah Brigade.
Sinwar’s death marks yet another major blow to Hamas’ top-tier leadership amid Israel’s continued offensive following the October 7, 2023 terror attack, orchestrated by his brother Yahya. That assault ignited the current war in Gaza and left over a thousand Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.
Born in Khan Younis in 1975, Muhammad Sinwar joined Hamas in the late 1980s. He was first arrested by Israeli authorities in 1991 and spent under a year in jail for suspected militant activities. During the 1990s, he was also imprisoned for several years by the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah.
In 2006, he played a significant role in the abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, one of the most high-profile operations conducted by Hamas in that era. Sinwar later commanded Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade and steadily rose through the ranks, becoming a top military strategist after the deaths of other senior leaders.
Netanyahu hailed the strike as a significant success, asserting that Israel remains committed to dismantling Hamas’ leadership and operational network. The confirmation of Sinwar’s death is expected to further weaken Hamas’s command structure amid rising international pressure for a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Hamas has yet to issue an official response or confirm the deaths reported by Israeli and Arab media.

The Indian Army celebrated the lifelong service of its veterans at the Veteran Achievers Award 2025, held in Prayagraj. General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of Army Staff (COAS), presented the prestigious award to four exceptional veterans for their impactful contributions to society beyond their military service.
The event, titled “Veteran Achievers Award 2025: Honouring Service, Inspiring Excellence,” brought together veterans, serving personnel, and civilians to pay tribute to the awardees. A prominent banner reading “पूर्व सैनिक सम्मान समारोह” (Veteran Honour Ceremony) alongside the Indian Army emblem served as a solemn backdrop to the occasion, underscoring the dignity and pride associated with military service.
Veteran Achievers Award 2025: Honouring Service, Inspiring Excellence.#GeneralUpendraDwivedi, #COAS, conferred Veteran Achievers Award on four distinguished veterans at Prayagraj.
The honored veterans have distinguished themselves through a range of social initiatives, including providing shelter and education for orphans and underprivileged girls, offering pro bono legal support to both military and civilian populations, and supporting vulnerable communities such as slum children, elderly citizens, and persons with disabilities. Several awardees have also worked to inspire young people to join the armed forces and have taken active roles in veterans’ welfare programs.
In his address, General Dwivedi commended the veterans for embodying the Army’s ethos of lifelong service. He described them as role models who continue to contribute meaningfully to society, acting as a vital bridge between the military and civilian communities. He also linked their efforts to the broader national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, a roadmap toward a developed India through inclusive and sustainable progress.
The event featured a group photograph with the awardees, General Dwivedi, and senior officials, followed by an interactive session with a larger gathering of veterans. Notably, many participants wore beige caps, likely distributed as a symbol of unity and shared purpose. The ceremony concluded with a collective gesture of raised hands, symbolising solidarity and a shared commitment to national development.
This ceremony follows a similar initiative earlier this year on February 20, when General Dwivedi honoured two other veterans—Lieutenant Colonel Joy Choudhary (Retd.) and Naik A Levi Magh (Retd.)—during a visit to Eastern Command. The Veteran Achievers Award continues to serve as a beacon of encouragement for former soldiers to remain active in community service and national development.
The Indian Army emphasised that such events are not isolated acts of recognition but are closely aligned with national initiatives like the Year of Tech Absorption and the Decade of Transformation. These campaigns aim to propel India into a new era of growth while preserving its foundational values of unity, service, and social empowerment. The ceremony in Prayagraj not only celebrated individual achievements but also highlighted the enduring contributions of veterans to India’s progress.
The Indian Army has taken a major step toward enhancing national security and self-reliance by issuing Requests for Information (RFI) for the development and procurement of indigenous counter-drone systems under the Make in India initiative. These RFIs, aligned with the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020, target two key platforms—the Manpack Counter Unmanned Aerial System and the Ground-Based Counter Unmanned Aerial System—reflecting the growing need to address drone-related threats in today’s evolving warfare landscape.
This move follows recent drone conflicts between India and Pakistan, marking the first time both nations used UAVs at scale during a brief but intense four-day military engagement earlier this month. A Reuters report dated May 27 emphasized the heightened role of drones in that conflict, which has triggered urgent procurement actions. India has committed approximately $4.6 billion in emergency military spending, with around $470 million expected to be channeled into counter-UAV technologies over the next two years, according to the Drone Federation of India.
Two Indian firms, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and the startup Armory, are playing central roles in this technological push. BEL’s D4 System is a sophisticated, vehicle-mounted counter-drone platform designed for real-time tracking, detection, and neutralization using both soft-kill (jamming) and hard-kill (kinetic) methods. Equipped with thermal imaging, optical sensors, and RF spectrum analysis, it offers robust defense against micro and small UAVs, especially in sensitive zones.
Armory, an emerging name in defense technology, has introduced SURGE, a domestically developed drone jammer. SURGE provides real-time signal interception, tracking, and neutralization, and is designed to compete with global leaders like DroneShield and Dedrone. The system adds momentum to India’s push for indigenous capabilities in the rapidly growing counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) market.
The recent Operation SINDOOR further underscored the strategic necessity of homegrown technology. Conducted amid rising border tensions, the operation highlighted India’s reliance on its own defense industry to meet modern combat needs. Companies like ideaForge Technology, which has delivered over 2,000 drones to Indian forces, are enhancing their platforms with electronic warfare resistance, reinforcing India’s technological edge.
With drones now seen as potent, low-cost tools for surveillance and strikes, India’s accelerated development of counter-drone capabilities marks a timely evolution in its defense doctrine. Fast-tracked trials and acquisitions are being prioritized to overcome bureaucratic delays, ensuring frontline readiness.
As India deepens its investment in UAVs and counter-drone technologies, the collaboration between the Indian Army and domestic innovators reflects a broader national strategy of reducing dependence on foreign systems. The Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative is thus not just a policy slogan but a critical pathway to securing India’s borders and future-proofing its military forces against next-generation threats.
The Indian Naval Academy (INA) is preparing for one of its most prestigious events of the year, the Passing Out Parade, scheduled to take place on May 31, 2025. This grand ceremony marks the culmination of rigorous training for the Naval Orientation Courses, and includes cadets from friendly nations such as Bangladesh, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania.

— Indian Naval Academy (@IN_NavalAcademy) May 28, 2025
The Passing Out Parade itself will commence at 0715 hours on May 31 and will be attended by senior naval officers, academy staff, proud families, and invited dignitaries. Known for its precision and grandeur, the parade is a ceremonial tribute to the cadets’ transformation into commissioned officers ready to serve in the Indian Navy and their respective national navies. To ensure broad access, the event will be live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook.
Key naval leaders, including the Commandant of the Indian Naval Academy and the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief (Southern Naval Command), will preside over the ceremony. Their presence reflects the importance of the event in shaping the leadership core of future maritime forces.
This year’s parade continues the INA’s tradition of excellence and its commitment to international defense cooperation. Past editions, including the 2023 outdoor training demonstration and the 2024 convocation, have set high standards for ceremonial and training excellence. As INA prepares to send off another batch of officers into the naval forces, the Passing Out Parade stands as a proud reminder of the academy’s role in strengthening India’s maritime capabilities and global naval partnerships.
A billboard erected in Karachi on May 27 has ignited fierce controversy, as it features images of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist commanders alongside senior Pakistan Army generals. Displayed to commemorate Youm-e-Takbeer, the national day marking Pakistan’s 1998 nuclear tests, the billboard has raised concerns over the open celebration of a globally banned terrorist group alongside the country’s military leadership.
Situated in a prominent location in Karachi, the billboard bears the words “Youm-e-Takbeer” in bold Urdu, celebrating Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities. While the occasion is traditionally associated with national pride and strategic deterrence against India, the inclusion of LeT leaders—implicated in some of the deadliest terrorist attacks in South Asia, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks—has drawn sharp criticism both within Pakistan and internationally.

The timing of this display comes amid strained India-Pakistan relations following a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir earlier this year, which killed 26 Hindu tourists. India has blamed Pakistan-based groups for the assault, further escalating regional tensions. The billboard’s appearance, juxtaposing LeT figures with Pakistan Army generals, reinforces longstanding allegations that groups like LeT operate as strategic proxies under military patronage, particularly in the Kashmir conflict.
General Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Field Marshal, had earlier courted controversy during a February 2025 speech marking Kashmir Solidarity Day, where he declared Pakistan was ready to fight “10 more wars” over Kashmir. This latest display appears to lend symbolic support to such statements, indicating a continued alignment between militant narratives and state-backed nationalism.
LeT, founded in the 1980s by Hafiz Saeed, has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Nations, the United States, India, and several other nations. It has been repeatedly accused of receiving logistical and financial support from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), despite Islamabad’s official denials. The public celebration of its commanders as part of a national commemorative event suggests a defiant disregard for international norms on counterterrorism.
Youm-e-Takbeer marks the anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear tests conducted on May 28, 1998, in Chagai, Balochistan, which made it the seventh nuclear power in the world. While the day holds patriotic significance, critics argue that associating it with terrorist figures severely undermines Pakistan’s global image and obligations.
The billboard has triggered demands for Pakistan’s actions to be reviewed by international oversight bodies. The United Nations and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) have long pressured Islamabad to sever ties with extremist groups and fully comply with global anti-terrorism measures. The incident may prompt renewed scrutiny, especially as Pakistan attempts to avoid reclassification or sanctions under the FATF’s grey list framework.
As the debate unfolds, the Karachi billboard stands as a symbol of the persistent entanglement of militancy and statecraft in Pakistan, a dynamic that continues to cast a long shadow over peace and stability in South Asia.
The Indian Army has honored 10-year-old Shravan Singh from Tara Wali village in Punjab’s Ferozepur district for his courageous and heartfelt support to troops during the tense days of Operation Sindoor. Amid rising military activity along the India-Pakistan border, Shravan showed remarkable spirit by making daily trips to deliver water, milk, lassi, and ice to soldiers stationed near the Amritsar border.
🇮🇳 Meet Shravan Singh – Just 10 years old, yet a true hero from Punjab’s Ferozepur.
While bullets flew and borders burned during Operation Sindoor, Shravan stepped up — not with weapons, but with water, milk, lassi, and love for our soldiers.
Operation Sindoor, launched earlier this month, was a major military response to heightened cross-border tensions. The operation involved targeted strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, reaching areas as deep as Rawalpindi. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh confirmed the scale of the mission, which included the Indian Navy limiting Pakistan’s naval presence to its coastal waters in the Arabian Sea. The operation followed a deadly ceasefire violation that claimed the life of BSF Sub-Inspector Mohammed Imtiaz and injured seven others in the RS Pura sector.
Shravan’s consistent efforts to help the soldiers during this time won the admiration of the armed forces. The Army organized a special ceremony to recognize his contributions, presenting him with a memento and treating him to a celebratory meal and ice cream. His act has been praised as a touching example of civilian solidarity and patriotism in a time of national challenge.

The moment carried added cultural resonance, as the boy’s name, Shravan, draws parallels with Shravan Kumar from the Ramayana, known for his devotion and service. The Indian Army’s recognition of the young boy underscores its broader tradition of acknowledging the support of civilians, especially in border regions like Amritsar, Ferozepur, Pathankot, and Gurdaspur, which remain under heightened alert.
Shravan’s story has touched hearts across the country, symbolizing how even small acts of kindness and courage can make a meaningful difference in moments of national significance.
A large-scale civil defence mock drill ”Operation Shield’ is set to take place in four key Indian states bordering Pakistan — Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Jammu & Kashmir. This preparedness exercise comes in the wake of the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 tourists were killed, and marks the first such nationwide civil drill initiative since the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
The Home Ministry had earlier ordered mock drills in 244 districts across India on May 7 — the same day India launched Operation Sindoor to target terror infrastructure across the border in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The aim of these drills is to assess how quickly and effectively the civil and defence apparatus can respond to emergency scenarios such as air raids, terrorist strikes, and wartime contingencies.
Key components of today’s drill include the activation of air raid sirens to test response systems and blackout protocols. In areas near the Line of Control, like Uri in Kashmir, community bunkers have been prepared, and school children in border towns like Arnia have already undergone evacuation drills.
Safety protocols also focus on protecting vital infrastructure such as military and paramilitary installations, hospitals, and communication hubs. Civil defence teams will collaborate with local institutions to educate civilians, students, and staff on emergency SOPs, evacuation methods, and shelter locations.
Officials urge residents in affected areas to remain calm, follow instructions during siren tests, and treat the drill with seriousness, as it is designed to strengthen the nation’s civilian defence posture amid heightened regional tensions.
General Vijay Kumar Singh (Retd.), former Chief of Army Staff and senior Indian politician, represents a rare blend of military leadership, administrative reform, and patriotic zeal. From leading troops in war zones to overseeing critical evacuation missions and taking bold stands in Parliament, his journey reflects a lifetime of service, integrity, and fearless leadership.
He will be the Reviewing Officer for the Passing Out Parade (POP) of the historic 148th course of the National Defence Academy (NDA), scheduled for May 30. The landmark event will see the first batch of woman cadets graduating from the premier tri-services academy among around 340 passing out cadets.
Born on May 10, 1950, in Uttar Pradesh, Gen. Vijay Kumar Singh grew up in a family with strong military traditions, instilling in him values of discipline, patriotism, and honour from an early age.
