Hamas video shows intense fighting in Gaza with Israel's military
The armed wing of the Palestinian militant group Hamas released on Monday (January 29) an edited video it says shows fighting in the streets of Gaza's Khan Younis.
The footage shows fighters carrying shoulder-mounted weapons systems and firing them at battle tanks. Reuters was not able to independently verify the location or the date when the video was filmed.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army said its forces had killed dozens of Palestinian gunmen throughout the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, including four who were spotted preparing to ambush troops near Al-Amal hospital in southern Khan Younis.
The armed wing of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said fighters clashed with Israeli troops in several areas across the enclave overnight. Hamas' armed wing said its fighters destroyed two Israeli tanks in Khan Younis.

Ukraine War Aid: Where Have U.S. Funds Gone and Why Has Support Stalled? | WD
The political stalemate in Washington is now impairing Ukraine’s efforts to repel Russia’s invasion. House Republicans say they won’t support tens of billions of dollars in additional aid to the war-torn country without a deal on border security on the southern U.S. border. With deliveries of military aid to Ukrainian troops continuing to decline, Kyiv could be hard pressed to replace its losses and maintain its front lines.
WSJ explores where U.S. aid has gone so far and what could happen if additional funding remains stalled.

Russia Deploys Niobium Radars in Ukraine for 500 Km Threat Detection | Be ready to fight Russia
The Niobium radar, a product of the Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering, traces its lineage back to the Sky family of radar systems. The development journey began in the 1980s with the creation of the Sky complex. Over the years, this family saw notable advancements with improved modifications such as Nebo-U in the post-Soviet era.
In 2013, a significant stride occurred with the introduction of the Niobium radar, representing a pinnacle in this lineage. Building on the legacy of its predecessors, Niobium emerged as a state-of-the-art radar system, incorporating advanced features and capabilities. The radar's development was marked by rigorous testing and trial operations, ensuring its efficacy in real-world scenarios.
The Ministry of Defense's decision to initiate serial production in 2017 marked a pivotal milestone, signifying confidence in the radar's performance. Since then, ongoing deliveries to the Aerospace Forces and ground forces have facilitated the integration of Niobium radars into Russia's defense infrastructure. This evolutionary journey underscores a commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in air defense.

3 US service members killed, at least 25 injured in drone attack in Jordan
Three US service members were killed and 25 others wounded in a drone attack Saturday night in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border — a major escalation in already dangerously rising Mideast tensions.
The air assault was carried out against a small American outpost in Jordan and marked the first time US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since conflict erupted in the region after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
“While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iran,” President Biden said in a statement — adding that the troops were killed by a “despicable and wholly unjust attack.
