Bad news for Iran as Israel develops new defence system that is capable of 'shoot-look-shoot' technology, can detect and stop very fast..., name is...
Israel has made its air defense system even stronger with the development of the new Arrow-4 missile defense system. Boaz Levy, the head of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), confirmed that this advanced system will soon become a key part of the country's national defense. Arrow-4 is an upgraded version of the earlier Arrow-3 system and it is designed to accurately shoot down enemy ballistic missiles, especially those launched from short distances.
One of the most important features of Arrow-4 is its 'shoot-look-shoot' technology which means that if the missile is not able to destroy the target on the first attempt, the system quickly checks and makes another precise strike.
This new defense system uses advanced warhead technology and a highly sensitive seeker system. Because of this, it can detect and stop very fast, modern ballistic missiles, including those that travel at hypersonic speeds.
Recently, when Iran fired advanced ballistic missiles at Israel, the country managed to stop about 85 per cent of them in the air. However, around 50 missiles still hit Israeli land, causing major damage. The goal of launching the Arrow-4 is to fix this gap in defense, so that in the future, not even a single enemy missile is able to reach the ground. Israel speeds up work on Arrow-4, plans for even more powerful Arrow-5
According to Israel Aerospace Industries, it may take up to two years for the new Arrow-4 missile defense system to be fully added into Israel's defense system. However, the Israeli government has already ordered that the process be fast-tracked.
At the same time, work is already underway on an even more advanced system called Arrow-5. This future system is expected to replace Arrow-3 in the coming years and make Israel's defense capabilities even more powerful and unbeatable.
The Arrow defense series is already known around the world as the first fully working anti-ballistic missile system. It includes Arrow-2 and Arrow-3, which are designed to destroy incoming missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3 kilometers per second, right in mid-air.
The Arrow-4 project officially began in 2021 when the United States and Israel announced a joint effort to build the system. For Israel, Arrow-4 is more than just a missile interceptor, it will act as a powerful shield, especially at a time when tensions are high across the Middle East.

Trump-Netanyahu Rift Deepens Over Middle East-N18G
In an explosive outburst, former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following an Israeli airstrike on Syria, shouting, "What the f** is Bibi doing?"* Sources suggest Trump is increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu's aggressive military actions, particularly as tensions rise across the Middle latest Israeli strike in Syria has rattled regional dynamics, with Trump allegedly concerned about its timing and political implications. This outburst reflects growing cracks in the once-close Trump-Bibi alliance, with insiders hinting at diverging strategies on how to handle Iran, Syria, and the broader security is Trump distancing himself from Israel's military decisions now? Is this about geopolitical optics, or a deeper split in U.S.-Israel strategy? As the world watches Syria burn again, the Trump-Netanyahu dynamic may never be the same. Mobile App -

Sam Altman says OpenAI LLM achieved IMO gold-level Math skills, GPT-5 launch coming soon
OpenAI model scored 35/42 in 2025 IMO mock test Evaluated under same conditions as human participants GPT-5 coming soon, but won't match IMO model's capabilities An experimental large language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI has achieved gold medal-level performance at the 2025 International Math Olympiad (IMO), setting a new benchmark in mathematical reasoning for AI systems. Announcing the milestone, OpenAI researcher Alexander Wei posted on X that the model solved five out of six problems from the latest IMO under human exam conditions. The model earned 35 out of 42 possible points, a score that would qualify for a gold medal at the real competition. 'We evaluated our models on the 2025 IMO problems under the same rules as human contestants: two 4.5 hour exam sessions, no tools or internet, reading the official problem statements, and writing natural language proofs,' Wei explained. The IMO is regarded as the most prestigious high school maths competition globally, known for its notoriously complex problems. Wei pointed out that such problems demand extended creative reasoning and that achieving gold-level performance represents a leap from earlier benchmarks. 'We've now progressed from GSM8K (~0.1 min for top humans) MATH benchmark (~1 min) AIME (~10 mins) IMO (~100 mins),' he said. Submissions were graded independently by three former IMO medallists, who unanimously validated the model's solutions. According to Wei, 'the model solved P1 through P5; it did not produce a solution for P6.' He shared the model's answers publicly, noting its 'distinct style,' owing to its experimental nature. Wei said what makes the result even more impressive is that IMO proofs are long, complex and hard to verify. "By going beyond the reinforcement learning paradigm of clear-cut, verifiable rewards we've obtained a model that can craft intricate, watertight arguments at the level of human mathematicians.' The LLM that achieved this result will not be released publicly any time soon. Wei clarified that while OpenAI is preparing to launch GPT-5, this IMO-level model is part of a different research track. 'We don't plan to release a model with IMO gold level of capability for many months.' OpenAI CEO Sam Altman echoed this in a follow-up post, calling the achievement 'a significant marker of how far AI has come over the past decade.' He clarified that this model is not a specialised maths system, but a general-purpose reasoning model. 'We are releasing GPT-5 soon but want to set accurate expectations: this is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques we don't plan to release a model with IMO gold level of capability for many months,' Altman added. Looking back, Wei also reflected on how far AI progress has exceeded expectations. 'In 2021, my PhD advisor Jacob Steinhardt had me forecast AI math progress by July 2025. I predicted 30 per cent on the MATH benchmark Instead, we have IMO gold.' He credited collaborators including Sheryl Hsu and Noam Brown, and concluded by congratulating all 2025 IMO participants, noting that many OpenAI researchers are former IMO medallists themselves.

Pope condemns ‘barbarity' of Gaza war after 85 killed while queuing up for food
Pope Leo XIV has condemned the 'barbarity' and 'indiscriminate use of force' in the Gaza war, after at least 85 Palestinians were killed while waiting for food aid, most of them in the north of the besieged enclave. Addressing crowds at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence near Rome, Pope Leo XIV called for 'an immediate end to the barbarity of the war and for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.' He also expressed anguish over the recent Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic church, which killed three people and injured ten others. Among the injured was the parish priest, who had regularly received calls from the late Pope Francis. According to The Guardian citing Gaza's health ministry, 69 of the victims were killed by Israeli fire while queuing for United Nations aid trucks at the Zikim crossing, near the border with Israel. 'This act, unfortunately, adds to the ongoing military attacks against the civilian population and places of worship in Gaza,' the pontiff said on Sunday, as per The Guardian. 'I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, the indiscriminate use of force, and the forced displacement of populations.' The World Food Programme (WFP) confirmed that a convoy of 25 trucks carrying food encountered 'massive crowds of hungry civilians' shortly after entering Gaza, who then came under gunfire. 'WFP reiterates that any violence involving civilians seeking humanitarian aid is completely unacceptable,' it said in a statement. Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of al-Shifa hospital, told the Associated Press that the facility received 48 dead and 150 wounded people on Sunday morning. He could not confirm whether Israeli forces, armed gangs, or both were responsible for the casualties. The Israeli military acknowledged that its troops had fired on a large crowd in northern Gaza, claiming the gathering posed a threat. It said it was aware of casualties but disputed the reported numbers, which it described as significantly higher than findings from its initial investigation. Tensions escalated further as the Israeli military issued evacuation orders for parts of central Gaza, an area that has largely avoided ground operations until now and is home to numerous international aid agencies. Residents in Deir al-Balah reported airstrikes hitting residential homes, prompting dozens of families to flee with belongings in hand, according to Reuters. The military said its forces were acting to 'destroy the enemy's capabilities and terrorist infrastructure', warning civilians to leave targeted districts in south-west Deir al-Balah. On Sunday, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees accused Israel of 'starving civilians in Gaza,' including a million children. The agency reported that babies were dying from severe acute malnutrition and repeated its call for unfettered access to humanitarian aid. Since the shift to the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in May, food supplies have dwindled and prices have soared. The UN reported that as of 13 July, at least 875 people had died while trying to obtain food. Among them, 674 died near GHF sites, with others killed along aid routes. Children fetching water for their families were also among the victims, the UN said, as per The Guardian. The conflict was triggered by Hamas's attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which killed around 1,200 people and saw 251 hostages taken. According to Gaza's health ministry, 58,895 Palestinians have been killed and 140,980 injured by Israeli military actions since the war began. (With inputs from The Guardian)
