A US destroyer, the USS Carney, successfully intercepted and shot down drones and an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The Houthi movement in Yemen has announced it will halt its attacks on Israeli and US vessels in the Red Sea if the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is upheld. This significant declaration comes ahead of the anticipated truce set to take effect soon. The Houthis, known for their military operations targeting Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea, have pledged to end these hostilities in support of the Gaza ceasefire. Their move marks a potential shift in regional dynamics, aligning with international efforts to de-escalate tensions. With the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas about to be tested, the Houthis' commitment could play a crucial role in the broader geopolitical landscape.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Houthi forces launched a precision missile strike on Tel Aviv, targeting Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The attack, carried out using Thulfiqar ballistic missiles, marks a significant intensification in the ongoing conflict. While Israel’s air defense systems intercepted some of the missiles, the strike still caused damage to key infrastructure. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed the missiles hit their target with high accuracy, evading Israeli interception. This attack is seen as part of the Houthis’ ongoing support for Hamas and their solidarity with Palestinian efforts in Gaza. The missile strike follows a series of Houthi drone and missile assaults on Israel, signaling an even more volatile situation in the region. No major casualties were reported, but the strike adds to the growing tensions as Israel prepares for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

The Yemeni Houthi group has escalated tensions with a series of bold military operations, targeting both the United States and Israel amid ongoing regional conflicts. In their seventh attack on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, the Houthis deployed advanced drones and missiles in the northern Red Sea, demonstrating their growing military capabilities.
Simultaneously, a massive barrage of missiles and drones struck Israel, targeting vital locations in Eilat, Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea announced that the attacks were carried out in response to the recent Gaza violence and vowed to continue retaliation if ceasefire agreements are violated or escalations occur.

A mysterious airstrip nearing completion on Yemen’s remote Abd al-Kuri Island raises regional security concerns. Satellite images suggest the UAE is behind the project, potentially to counter Houthi rebel attacks that threaten global shipping routes. As tensions escalate, the runway could be pivotal for surveillance and military operations in the Gulf of Aden. With the Houthis’ continued assaults on Israel and U.S. forces, and suspected weapons smuggling from Iran, this new development could further destabilize the already volatile region.

Tensions between the U.S. and Yemen have reached a boiling point as American bombers launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen’s northwestern Amran province, specifically targeting the Harf Sufyan district. This escalation follows a recent strike by Houthi forces on a U.S. warship in the Red Sea, marking the sixth such attack within a month. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi had warned that military operations in support of Gaza would continue until Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territories ceases.

In a chilling propaganda display, Hamas handed released hostages bizarre “gift bags” featuring photos of their captivity, a commemorative Gaza photo, and gold-gilded “certificates of release.” The released hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, described the gesture as a “cynical game” aimed at psychological manipulation. Video footage shared by Hamas shows the hostages being escorted through Gaza City by a motorcade of armed, masked terrorists, with crowds mobbing the vehicles. Eventually handed over to the Red Cross, the hostages were transported to safety, marking the first phase of a cease-fire deal.

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza.

The Houthis have launched their sixth deadly attack on the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea within a month, using bomb-laden drones. The latest assault occurred on Wednesday, as tensions continue to rise between the Yemeni rebel group and U.S. forces. The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, claimed the operation was a response to U.S. airstrike preparations against Yemen, and vowed further actions until the conflict in Gaza ceases. Despite air defense efforts, the attack caused explosions in the area, adding to the ongoing military tension. This marks another escalation in the ongoing regional conflict, as the Houthis expand their focus on U.S. warships and Israeli-linked shipping.

In a bold retaliatory operation, Yemeni Houthis targeted a U.S. destroyer and three American supply ships in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Yemeni Armed Forces deployed 16 ballistic, cruise missiles, and a drone, achieving precise hits on all targets, according to military spokesperson Yahya Saree. This action follows Yemen's hypersonic missile strike on Tel Aviv earlier in the day, emphasizing Yemen’s stance against U.S. and Israeli involvement in Gaza. Saree reiterated Yemen’s determination to escalate operations until the Israeli siege on Gaza ends. The attack underscores the intensifying regional tensions and Yemen's growing military capabilities.
