US advisors: "With an attack before the midterms Trump would claim victory"
Some Trump advisers believe that an attack before the midterms would allow Trump to claim victory and help Republicans in the elections, The Atlantic reported. “It would give Trump a victory and allow gas prices to fall,” a Republican source explained. Limited action before the vote could be followed by stronger military action after the midterms. Trump has spoken several times of an attack after the vote if Iran does not reach an agreement. Last week, the president reported that the United States could win the war "right after the vote," but added that it could do so "maybe even before the election." In recent weeks, the Pentagon has presented Trump with options for reopening hostilities after the vote.
Hegseth visits USS Abraham Lincoln and praises crew
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on its return from a long and difficult mission against Iran and praised the crew. The massive nuclear-powered warship left California in November 2025 to operate in the South China Sea and was diverted to the Middle East ahead of US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic that began in late February, remaining at sea until a stop at a Thai port early last month. “What the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group did, no other carrier strike group has ever done,” Hegseth said, addressing servicemen aboard the ship while it was at sea in the Pacific, “ten thousand sorties, 23,000 combat flight hours, almost 4,000 combat sorties.” The Pentagon chief then announced the awarding of a presidential citation to the strike group for "extraordinary heroism against enemy forces".
October 7, 2023, what happened on the day of the Hamas attack on Israel
October 7, 2023 is a date imprinted in the history of Israel. That morning 3 years ago, the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation began, long planned in secret by the Hamas group. The South of Israel, at the first light of dawn, was taken by surprise: while rockets began to be launched from the nearby Gaza Strip towards the Jewish State, the terrorists entered Israel by land, on foot, with homemade aircraft or motorcycles, carrying out massacres in the kibbutzim, even attacking a music festival, and killing and kidnapping those they found along their way. To date it is estimated that the victims have been over 1,200. Those events had - and still have - an enormous impact on Israel and the rest of the Middle East.

Unifil: "One of our positions on the border between Israel and Lebanon was hit, no injuries"
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) announced that today one of its positions near the border with Israel was targeted by gunfire, but there were no casualties. “This morning, several shots hit a Unifil post near Kfar Shouba along the Blue Line in the Eastern Sector,” the UN force said in a statement, referring to the de facto border between Israel and Lebanon. The peacekeepers called the shooting "unacceptable". “Such deliberate attacks seriously endanger the lives of peacekeepers,” they added, noting that an investigation into the incident is ongoing. Under pressure from the United States, the United Nations Security Council decided in August to set the end of the mandate of Unifil, which has been deployed since 1978, in December. Last month, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam insisted to the UN on the need to "avoid the vacuum" that would be created with the withdrawal of the peacekeeping mission deployed in the south of the country without a valid replacement. Unifil currently has 7,500 peacekeepers from around 50 countries. Violence has declined since the ceasefire following the memorandum of understanding in the US-Iran war took effect in June, while Lebanon and Israel concluded a US-sponsored framework agreement at the end of the same month. The Israeli-Lebanese agreement provides for the disarmament of Hezbollah, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the deployment of the Lebanese army in the region, starting from test areas known as "pilot zones".
Media: "Trump considers attack on Iran before midterms, asks Pentagon for plans"
The White House has asked the Pentagon to develop plans for attacks against Iranian targets that can be implemented before the midterm elections. The Atlantic reports it, citing some sources, according to whom the request shows how much the president wants to reduce energy prices and show Americans progress in the conflict before the elections. The extent of the attacks nor the Iranian targets to be hit are not clear. The plans are being drawn up by US Central Command.

Young Palestinians: "October 7 is not an anniversary, always resistance"
"October 7 is not an anniversary, now and always resistance." It is the slogan with which the group of Young Palestinians of Italy relaunched the meeting on 10 October, recalling the squares "in all the cities of Italy" to "honour the over seventy thousand martyrs of Gaza and its fighters", "for all of Palestine which has resisted the Zionist colonial project for over a century" and "for all the peoples affected in these three years by Western imperialism and Zionist expansionism", citing Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran. "It is not to survive that we need support, but to continue to defeat an enemy that after three years is more fragile than ever", they write, also relaunching the slogan "Against Zionism and its violence, resistance now and everywhere". In the text, the Young Palestinians of Italy also define 25 April next year, in light of the "joint path" already announced by Anpi and Ucei, as a "test bed": "We must work so that that square is not Zionist, but an expression of the resistance of our people". "This same conflict is being played out on a state level", they add, accusing the Italian State of having "chosen a side: that of rearmament and repression".

Saudi Arabia launches separate investigation into Flydubai case
Saudi Arabia has opened a separate investigation, independent of that already launched by the United Arab Emirates, into the alleged attempted suicide attack which occurred on board a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv on 30 September. Well-informed sources reported this to the Times of Israel. Riyadh has reportedly notified specialized aviation agencies abroad of its intention to conduct a safety investigation, according to international regulations, into flight FZ1073, which was in Saudi airspace when the co-pilot attacked the commander with an ax in an attempt to bring down the aircraft. The UAE Attorney General called the incident a "terrorist attack". “We are still waiting for a notification from Saudi Arabia inviting us to participate in the investigation,” said Ofer Vaknin, director of the Israel Aviation Safety Investigation Authority.
