The Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades rocket attack is likely coordinated with the Hamas Movement. The al-Nasser Brigades are one of the main allies of Hamas in Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Army confirmed that at least two rockets targeted the settlements of Hof Ashkelon and Sha’ar HaNegev north of Gaza Strip in southern Israel. Several Israel sources claimed that the Israeli anti-rocket system “Iron Dome” successfully intersected the rockets. However, the Israeli Army didn’t confirm these claimes and didn’t report any loses from the rocket strike.
Local sources from Gaza Strip reported that  Israeli warplanes are highly active over Gaza now. The sources added that warplanes were seen dropping flares for unknown reasons.
The Israeli Army will likely respond to the Palestine rocket attack in the upcoming hours. However, unlike previous accidents, the tension may raise further to a dangerous level due to the ongoing Jerusalem crisis.

Analysis Barrel bombs are improvised devices that contain explosive filling and shrapnel packed into a container, often in a cylindrical shape such as a barrel. The devices continue to be dropped on towns all over Syria . Indeed, there have been several documented cases of their use in Iraq over the past months, and residents of the city of Mosul, which was re

Russia Looks East for New Oil Markets

Click to Enlarge In the final years of the Soviet Union, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev began orienting his foreign policy toward Asia in response to a rising Japan. Putin has also piloted a much-touted pivot to Asia, coinciding with renewed U.S. interest in the area. A good expression of intent was Russia's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012 in Vladivostok, near Russia's borders with China and North Korea. Although its efforts in Asia have been limited by more direct interests in Russia's periphery and in Europe, Moscow recently has been able to look more to the east. Part of this renewed interest involves finding new export markets for Russian hydrocarbons. Russia's economy relies on energy exports, particularly crude oil and natural gas exported via pipeline to the West. However, Western Europe is diversifying its energy sources as new supplies come online out of a desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies . This has
