Israel has singled out Mohammed Deif, the leader of the Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. His rising popularity among Palestinians makes him a top target for assassination.

Egypt and Syria handed Israel its biggest military defeat on 6 October 1973. 50 years later, Gaza militants have launched another stunning offensive deep into Israeli territory. Al Majalla explains.

The conflict between Israel and the Arab world started in 1948 when a Jewish state was created on Palestinian land. Despite some peace agreements reached, tension continues to fester to this day.

After the October War came shuttle diplomacy. Al Majalla reveals what went on in the room when two statesmen met and managed to draw up a historic peace agreement.

Al Majalla recounts the historic war that changed power dynamics in the region through the accounts of senior Israeli officials.

Al Majalla is publishing a series of articles about the war and its lasting impact on the region.

The SDF commander rejects demands to disband his forces and tells Al Majalla in an exclusive interview that US-Russian tension east of the Euphrates is 'under control'
