Battle of Haifa: Along with the Jodhpur Cavalry and the sixteenth Imperial Cavalry Brigade, soldiers from the Mysore Lancers charged on Turkish positions in and around the city of Haifa in September 1918. New Delhi: The current geopolitical equations are aligned in such a way that India and Turkey find themselves in two different camps. India, which has resorted to strong measures against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, is not getting any support from Turkey and was rather engaged in downing Turkish-made Asisguard Songar drones launched by Pakistan. Therefore, the latest turn of events has taken Indo-Turkish relations to a new low.  While the latest event does not directly link India and Turkey, there’s an episode in history that brings together both the Indian and Turkish perspectives. The convergence point is known as the Battle of Haifa, which epitomised the valour of the Indian troops during the First World War against the Turks.  The Battle of Haifa was one of the greatest achievements of the Indian troops fighting for the British Raj.

An Israeli airstrike on a building in central Beirut killed Hezbollah’s media relations chief Mohammed Afif according to Lebanese security sources. The strike occurred in the Ras al-Naba’a neighbourhood, not in Hezbollah’s stronghold in the southern suburbs. Lebanese media also reported an unusual airstrike in the area, which targeted a building possibly housing the Syrian Ba’ath Party offices. Meanwhile, Israel launched multiple airstrikes on southern Beirut’s suburbs, including Hadath, Burj al-Barajneh, Chiyah and Haret Hreik, after issuing evacuation warnings. Hezbollah retaliated by firing a barrage of rockets into northern Israel, targeting Haifa and its surrounding areas. The Israeli military intercepted some of the rockets and reported damage to a synagogue in Haifa. Additionally, three suspects were arrested after flares were fired near Prime Minister Netanyahu’s residence, an incident condemned by Israeli officials as terrorism. On the same day, Israeli attacks across Gaza killed 96 Palestinians, prompting outrage from Gaza’s media office. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
