Israel, Lebanon agree to conditional ceasefire

A fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire has been declared between Israel and Lebanon, but its endurance hinges precariously on Hezbollah's immediate and total cessation of cross-border rocket and drone attacks.

The Biggest Military Lesson From Operation Sindoor Wasn't Air Power—It Was Missiles

Operation Sindoor, a recent high-stakes Indian military exercise against simulated adversary targets, has revealed a profound strategic pivot: the defining lesson wasn't air superiority but the overwhelming efficacy of integrated missile systems. Indian forces executed complex precision strikes deep within "enemy" territory, employing a sophisticated mix of indigenous and acquired cruise missiles, loitering munitions, and stand-off weapons to neutralize critical infrastructure and command nodes. This marks a decisive shift from traditional manned aviation-centric doctrine, underscoring New Delhi's evolving asymmetric response capabilities against well-defended airspace.
