Turkey Dries Up the Euphrates-The crisis revolves around the Euphrates River, which quickly became the Euphrates Creek when Turkey completely cut off the water flow upstream of Syria, reported Al Akhbar on May 30. The Euphrates originates in Turkey and passes through the Atatürk Dam before flowing into Syria and Iraq. By cutting off the flow and directing it into the reservoir, Turkey has lowered water levels downstream.Water levels in Lake Assad, Syria’s largest body of water, have dropped by 20 feet since Turkey shut off the water supply. The Euphrates hydrates large parts of Syria.
When did Turkey dam the Euphrates river?
The construction began in 1983 and was completed in 1990. (7 YEARS) (THE FUTURE TRIBULATION IS ALSO 7 YEARS)-The dam and the hydroelectric power plant, which went into service after the upfilling of the reservoir was completed in 1992, are operated by the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ).

As IDF targets Hamas leadership in Qatar, FM says Israel accepts US hostage proposal-Sa’ar’s statement comes day after Doha said to press Hamas to take deal; Hamas says leadership was discussing proposal when bombed By Lazar Berman,Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 6:47 pm-sep 9,25

Israel “said yes” to US President Donald Trump’s latest proposal for a hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Tuesday, hours before Israel targeted Hamas leadership in apparent airstrikes in the Qatari capital that cast further doubt on the viability of a deal.The strikes targeted the Hamas headquarters in Doha, where the terror group’s leaders had gathered to discuss the US’s proposal, according to Hamas sources, a day after Qatari prime minister pressed the group to accept the deal.According to Israeli officials, the strike was aimed at top Hamas leaders, including Khalil al-Hayya, the terror group’s exiled Gaza chief and top negotiator. Hamas sources claimed the top officials who were targeted in the strikes survived the attack.“The war in Gaza can end tomorrow,” Sa’ar said during a press conference in Croatia. “We are ready to accept a deal that would end this war, based on the cabinet decision,” he added, noting that Israel had two demands for ending the war — the release of all the hostages and Hamas laying down its arms.The latter demand “ensures a better future for Gazans, for the Palestinians there,” as Hamas is “a problem for Palestinians and for the region,” he said.The US and Israel have yet to provide details for the proposal, though reports said it entails the immediate release of all hostages held in Gaza within 48 hours in exchange for an assurance from the US that Israel would not subsequently resume the war.Channel 12 news reported on Sunday that under the new proposal, Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza would be gradual but would take place mostly at the start of the ceasefire. Negotiators would then have 60 days — or as long as it takes — to come to an agreement on the disarmament of Hamas, the specifics of Israel’s withdrawal, and an alternative government for Gaza, according to the network.“Israelis and Palestinians have suffered enough,” said Sa’ar. “As long as Hamas remains in power, the suffering on both sides will not end.”On Monday, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani pressed Hamas political leaders to “respond positively” to the US proposal during talks in Doha, according to an official briefed on the talks.“The Qatari prime minister pressed Hamas to respond positively to the latest American proposal, conveyed through mediators, and aimed at securing a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza,” the official said.After the strikes in Doha on Tuesday, a senior Qatari official blasted Israel, saying the operation came as Doha was working to advance the new hostage deal framework, crafted last week by US special envoy Steve Witkoff.“Hamas received the new US proposal from us, which we obtained from Witkoff last week in Paris. Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani met with Hamas negotiators yesterday. The Hamas delegation then decided to meet again today to discuss the proposal, traveling from Turkey to Qatar, where the strike took place,” the official said.“However, as has happened before, the Israelis undermined hopes for peace, further prolonging the war and complicating efforts to bring back the hostages,” the senior Qatari official added in a statement.According to reports in Hebrew media, Qatar informed Israel that it is suspending its role as a mediator in talks with Hamas after the strikes on its territory, effectively shutting down the negotiations that had been taking place in Doha.Even before the strikes, an Arab mediating source told The Times of Israel on Monday that the US proposal was unlikely to succeed, as Hamas does not trust the proposed assurance from Washington that Israel would not resume the war after the hostages are released.Hamas has pushed back against the idea of immediately releasing all remaining hostages without concrete guarantees that Israel will not be able to resume the war. In the past, it has sought a UN Security Council resolution that would sanction Israel if it returned to fighting.It has not found US assurances to be sufficient, the Arab mediating source said, pointing to the Trump administration’s backing of the Israeli decision to resume the war in March, rather than transition to the second phase of the ceasefire and hostage release deal that had been in place at the time.Another possible sticking point was reported by the Saudi-owned Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, which on Monday cited Hamas sources who said it would be impossible for the terror group to release all 48 hostages from Gaza at the onset of the ceasefire, since some slain captives’ remains are inaccessible due to the IDF presence in Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to hold a cabinet meeting to discuss the US proposal, which could well face pushback from his far-right coalition partners over its requirement to withdraw from Gaza, where many of them envision Israel reestablishing settlements.Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 48 hostages, including 47 of the 251 abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza.They include the bodies of at least 26 confirmed dead by the IDF. Twenty are believed to be alive, and there are grave concerns for the well-being of two others, Israeli officials have said. Among the bodies held by Hamas is an IDF soldier killed in Gaza in 2014.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 64,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed over 22,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 465. The toll includes two police officers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.

Palestinian reports say 2 killed in Doha strike, but fatalities do not include leaders-By Nurit Yohanan-SEP 9,25

Palestinian media reports that two people were killed in the Israeli airstrike in Doha, but senior Hamas leaders were not.Reports name the dead as Himam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya, and Jihad Labad, the director of Khalil al-Hayya’s office.According to the reports, no other Palestinians were killed in the attack.

Army maps Jerusalem terror shooters’ homes for demolition-IDF engineers survey sites in Qatanna and Qubeiba; defense minister orders ‘civil sanctions’ on their relatives, residents of villages; rights groups write to AG protesting move By Emanuel Fabian and Jeremy Sharon-Today, 4:09 pm-SEP 9,25

Israel Defense Forces engineers on Tuesday surveyed the homes of two Palestinian terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem the day before, to prepare for demolition.The two gunmen, Mohammad Taha, 21, from Qatanna, and Muthanna Amro, 20, from Qubeiba, murdered six people and wounded over a dozen others at Ramot Intersection in the capital before they were killed by an off-duty soldier and armed civilians.As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks, saying the measure is intended as a deterrent.In addition to mapping the homes in the two villages on the outskirts of Ramallah, the IDF said troops combed several sites and questioned suspects in the area.Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered authorities to impose “civil sanctions” on the relatives of the two terrorists as well as residents of Qatanna and Qubeiba, appearing to impose collective punishment on Palestinians who are not accused of involvement in or knowledge of the assault.The move drew pushback from a rights group that asked the attorney general to intervene.Katz said 750 work and entry permits to Israel would be revoked. Immediate family members of Palestinians accused of terror are barred from working in Israel as a matter of policy, but it is rarer for Israeli authorities to revoke work permits of more distant relatives.Israeli officials have said the policy is intended to dissuade Palestinians from planning terror attacks, as doing so will harm their extended families’ livelihood. Critics have called it collective punishment.Katz also said he ordered the demolition of “any illegal structures in the villages,” though it’s unclear what the practical implications would be. Both villages lie in Area B of the West Bank, where Israel has no authority over civil matters such as issuing building permits.Katz said he ordered the sanctions at the recommendation of defense officials, including the outgoing chief of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unit, Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian.The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) called on Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to instruct the IDF and the Defense Ministry to refrain from imposing what it said was collective punishment.“Collective punishment is prohibited under both Israeli law and international humanitarian law. Such actions are war crimes,” ACRI told the attorney general. “We ask you to instruct the Defense Ministry and the army to immediately cease committing war crimes.ACRI said it sent a similar letter to Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi.The Yesh Din civil rights organization sent similar legal warnings to Baharav-Miara, Tomer-Yerushalmi, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir on Monday evening following media reports of planned punitive actions by the military against the Palestinian towns where the terrorists came from.“International humanitarian law absolutely prohibits collective punishment without exception,” the organization stated.Yesh Din referenced a recent incident in which the IDF uprooted thousands of olive trees in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir in what appeared to be a reprisal for a shooting attack carried out by a resident of the village.The Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on the letters.Terrorist’s home razed-Meanwhile, Israeli troops razed the home of a Palestinian accused of taking part in a deadly terror attack that killed a child on a bus in the West Bank last year, the military reported.The attack against a bus headed to Jerusalem on December 11, 2024, killed Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha, 12, and injured three others.According to the IDF, the attack was carried out by several gunmen, including Thabet Mohammed Masalmeh, whose home in the town of Bayt Awa was demolished overnight.

All we hear are bombings and ambulances carrying martyrs'In first, Israel orders all of Gaza City to evacuate ahead of ground invasion-Some residents say they’ll stay put, believing nowhere is safe; defense minister says Gaza ‘will be razed’ unless Hamas surrenders; Gazans say 5 high-rises toppled by IDF since weekendBy Emanuel Fabian,Nurit Yohanan,Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 1:26 pm-SEP 9,25

The IDF on Tuesday issued the first widespread evacuation order for Gaza City, saying all Palestinian civilians must leave the entire city immediately, ahead of a major military ground offensive against Hamas.Previous warnings issued by the IDF in recent days had only included specific buildings and the area surrounding them.“The IDF is determined to defeat Hamas and will operate in the Gaza City area with great force, just as it has throughout the Strip,” Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, said on X.Palestinian civilians were instructed to head to the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the Strip’s south via the coastal road.“Remaining in the area is extremely dangerous,” Adraee warned.The announcement also provided a phone number for Palestinians to “report Hamas roadblocks or attempts by its members to prevent evacuation.”Last week, Israeli officials accused Hamas of preventing civilians from evacuating Gaza City, saying the terror group was using them as human shields while amplifying claims of “forced displacement” to sway international opinion.Witnesses said Tuesday Israeli military aircraft dropped hundreds of leaflets on Gaza City, urging residents to flee southwards.Israel has declared Gaza City, in the north of the territory, a combat zone amid plans for the military to take it over in a campaign to push Hamas into submission. Parts of the city are already considered “red zones” from which Palestinians have been ordered to evacuate ahead of expected heavy fighting.That has left residents on edge, including many who had returned after fleeing the city in the initial stages of the Israel-Hamas war. With Israeli bulldozers razing the ground in neighborhoods already occupied by the army and some Israeli leaders supporting the mass relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, many fear departing the city now could mean leaving for good.Additionally, moving can be costly, and space is at a premium in the overcrowded south of the Strip.Tuesday’s evacuation orders caused panic and confusion among residents of the Strip’s largest urban center.Some said they would have no choice but to leave for the south, but most said they would stay, as no other place was safe.“Despite the bombardment in the past week, I have resisted leaving, but now I will go to be with my daughter,” said Um Mohammad, a 55-year-old mother of six.Many in the city, including some who have been displaced repeatedly during the war, have expressed exasperation with the demand to evacuate, arguing that nowhere in the enclave is safe.“Despite the bombardment in the past week, I have resisted leaving, but now I will go to be with my daughter,” a 55-year-old mother of six tells Reuters by text message.While pictures out of Gaza showed some leaving to the south, there were no immediate signs of a mass exodus in the wake of Israel’s warnings.On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said some 100,000 people had evacuated Gaza City so far, far short of the city’s estimated one million residents.Hamas-affiliated media outlets in the Strip reported that dozens of people in Gaza City held a protest, insisting that they would not leave.Footage showed demonstrators carrying signs reading “We will not leave” and expressing the sentiment that they will only leave when they’re dead.Public protests are rare in Gaza, and the fact that it was publicized by Hamas media may indicate that the rally was organized by the terror group rather than being a spontaneous demonstration.Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday that the enclave would be reduced to rubble if Hamas, which rules Gaza, doesn’t disarm and free the hostages it has held for 23 months, his latest threat as the military prepared to invade Gaza City and continued to bring down multistory buildings.In recent days, the IDF has conducted several strikes on Gaza City high-rises it said were used by Hamas to conduct operations against troops, after warning residents to flee.“An unprecedented hurricane hit Gaza yesterday,” Katz wrote on X. “Thirty multistory terror buildings were attacked and destroyed and dozens more terror targets were bombed and demolished, to thwart infrastructure for observation and terror, and pave the way for ground forces.”“If Hamas terrorists do not lay down their arms and free all the hostages, they will be destroyed and Gaza will be razed,” Katz said.The post was accompanied by a video showing the collapse of the al-Ruya tower in Gaza City’s prestigious Rimal neighborhood on Monday.Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said Monday that five high-rises had been destroyed by the Israeli military in the last 72 hours, a tally far smaller than claims from Netanyahu and Katz that dozens such buildings had been hit in recent days.The five buildings, most of them 10-15 stories, housed some 4,100 people in 209 apartments, said the rescue and emergency body.Strikes targeting the buildings also destroyed 350 nearby tents sheltering some 3,500 people, it added.A day after four IDF soldiers were killed in a Hamas attack on the outskirts of Gaza City, the Hamas-run civil defense agency said Israeli airstrikes continued overnight across Gaza City.“All we hear are bombings and ambulances carrying martyrs,” Laila Saqr, a resident, told AFP by telephone.Israel has been intensifying its strikes on Gaza City in preparation for an operation to take control of it, despite repeated entreaties from Western nations and aid agencies.The families of the hostages held in Gaza have said they are deeply concerned for their loved ones as the Gaza City operation intensifies, citing the murder of six hostages in a Rafah tunnel last year as their captors heard Israeli troops nearing.According to Channel 13 news, the military admits it has incomplete intelligence on the locations of the hostages in Gaza, and has assessed that Hamas may try to move captives into Gaza City ahead of the intensified IDF operation there.IDF Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir has been widely reported to oppose the Gaza City takeover plan, and has urged ministers from Netanyahu’s hardline cabinet to instead reach a hostage-ceasefire deal.Zamir has reportedly tried to reassure the families of hostages, saying in a recent meeting with them that “the operation will be conducted by me, with responsibility toward the troops and the hostages,” according to Channel 12 news.

Syria says Israel bombed 3 locations, fumes at ‘blatant infringement’ of sovereignty-No immediate comment from IDF on reported strikes near Homs, Latakia and Palmyra-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 12:50 pm-SEP 9,25

Israel struck in the vicinity of Syria’s central city of Homs, the coastal city of Latakia and the historic city of Palmyra, Syrian state-affiliated media said on Monday night.There was no immediate comment from Israel.Syria’s Foreign Ministry condemned the alleged Israeli airstrikes as “a blatant infringement” of its sovereignty and regional stability, saying in a statement on Tuesday they were part of an ongoing series of “escalations” pursued by Israel against Syrian territory.Syrian media did not elaborate on the scale or the impact of the reported strikes.Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which relies on a network of sources on the ground, reported that “the Israeli strike near Homs targeted a military unit south of the city.”Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since the overthrow of president Bashar al-Assad in December, despite initiating an unprecedented dialogue with the new authorities.In late August, the Israeli army launched an aerial and ground operation south of Damascus, according to a Syrian state media outlet.Israel has not confirmed the attack, but Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that forces operate “day and night” wherever necessary for the country’s security.SANA reported earlier this month that Israeli soldiers detained seven people in the southern province of Quneitra, whom the Israeli army told AFP at the time were “suspected of terrorist activity.”After the Assad regime fell, Israel launched an aerial campaign against Syrian military targets to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of extremist groups, and seized parts of Mount Hermon in Syrian territory that was a buffer zone between the countries following the 1973 Yom Kippur War.Syria and Israel have been officially at war since 1948, but are engaged in “advanced” US-mediated talks on easing tensions in southern Syria, with Damascus seeking a security deal that could open the door to wider political negotiations.According to Hebrew media reports last month, Damascus and Jerusalem are closing in on understandings, and the deal under discussion would be based on the disengagement lines that the two sides agreed to in 1974 after the Yom Kippur War.On Sunday, the Kan public broadcaster reported that Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer was set to meet Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani this week, as the two sides continue talks on de-escalating the conflict in southern Syria.The report offered no further details.In July, Israeli and Syrian officials met in Paris together with US special envoy Tom Barrack, the latter announced at the time, in what appeared to be the first time such a sit-down between officials from Jerusalem and members of the new government in Damascus was publicly confirmed.
