🇵🇰⚡️🇮🇳India Launches Airstrikes on Suspected Militant Sites in Pakistan Amid Rising Tensions

On May 7, 2025, India conducted airstrikes on nine locations in Pakistan, targeting what it described as “terrorist infrastructure” linked to groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). These strikes were in retaliation for an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists, on April 22. Key targets included a seminary in Bahawalpur associated with JeM, resulting in 13 deaths, and a complex in Muridke linked to LeT, where three people were killed.

India’s operation, named “Operation Sindoor,” marks the most significant escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors in over two decades. Pakistan reported that the Indian strikes resulted in 26 civilian deaths and 46 injuries, and claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, condemned the attacks and vowed retaliation, stating that India would “have to pay the price.”

The international community has expressed concern over the escalating conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump urged both nations to de-escalate tensions, offering assistance to mediate the situation.

⏺🇮🇳⚡️🇵🇰According to defense monitoring group Duorope, the drone involved in the recent incident at Lahore Airport closely resembles the IAI Harop loitering munition. The sound and strike pattern of the drone align with the characteristics of the Harop, a loitering munition developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The Harop is designed to loiter above the battlefield and attack targets by crashing into them and exploding. It has a loiter time of 6 hours and a range of 200 km both ways. The Harop uses a man-in-the-loop mode, being controlled by a remote operator, and can select static or moving targets detected by the aircraft’s electro-optical sensor .

The IAI Harop has been used in various conflicts, including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2020, where it was credited with destroying a Syrian Air Defence SA-22 Greyhound on May 10, 2018 .

🇺🇸🇵🇸⚡️Columbia University Pro-Palestinian Protest Leads to Dozens of Student Arrests

On May 7, 2025, New York City police arrested approximately 40 to 50 students at Columbia University after they occupied the second-floor reading room of Butler Library during a pro-Palestinian demonstration. The protest featured banners reading “Strike for Gaza” and “Liberated Zone.” The university administration called in the NYPD following clashes between demonstrators and campus security, resulting in two public safety officers being injured.

This incident is part of a broader wave of student activism demanding that Columbia divest its $14.8 billion endowment from defense companies and Israeli military contractors. The protests have drawn criticism from former President Donald Trump, who has labeled them antisemitic and advocated for the deportation of foreign student activists like Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian Columbia graduate student currently detained in Louisiana.

In a related development, a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, has ordered the Trump administration to provide detailed legal justification for its attempt to deport Khalil. The judge has temporarily blocked Khalil’s deportation as constitutional questions are reviewed.

Similar pro-Palestinian protests have occurred at other institutions, including the University of Washington, where student demonstrators were arrested and suspended.

🇺🇸⚡️Trump Considers Easing U.S. Chip Export Limits to Gulf Nations Amid Strategic Tech Push

President Donald Trump signaled a potential shift in U.S. trade policy, indicating that his administration may relax restrictions on the export of advanced microchips to select Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This move comes ahead of his scheduled diplomatic tour of the Middle East and reflects a broader effort to solidify alliances and expand technological cooperation in the region.

The current restrictions, originally imposed to prevent sensitive technology from reaching China, have drawn criticism from major tech firms such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon. These companies argue that the rules hinder their global competitiveness and could unintentionally push strategic partners in the Gulf toward Chinese alternatives.

In a significant development, the UAE has committed to investing $1.4 trillion in the U.S. over the next decade, aiming to secure preferential access to American semiconductor and AI technologies. This pledge underscores the Gulf state’s ambition to become a regional tech hub and deepen its economic ties with Washington.

Trump also hinted at reviewing geopolitical naming conventions, possibly supporting Arab states’ preference for the term “Arabian Gulf” over “Persian Gulf”—a move that could heighten tensions with Iran.
