Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis claimed an attack on a merchant ship in the Red Sea, part of their ongoing campaign in solidarity with Palestinians. The attack, using an improvised explosive device, caused no casualties. The Houthis have targeted numerous vessels since November, disrupting global shipping. In response, the US and UK have launched strikes on Houthi targets and implemented a maritime security initiative. The attacks highlight the complex geopolitical situation in the region and its impact on international trade.

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at a military base in the northern part of the occupied territories, following Israeli attacks against southern and eastern Lebanon. The rocket barrage targeted the main air and missile defense base of Israel's northern area command, causing a blaze and a power outage. This is reported to be one of Hezbollahās biggest rocket barrages in recent weeks. In addition, Hezbollah's "Unmanned Air Force" launched several kamikaze drones at the Israeli al-Naqoura naval base, killing and injuring several Israeli officers and soldiers.

Hezbollah and Yemen's Armed Forces have significantly improved their air defense capabilities, successfully downing several Israeli and US drones. This development is forcing Israel and the US to reconsider their air operations in the region. Experts suggest that these groups' enhanced abilities could challenge Israel's air dominance and compromise intelligence gathering. As a result, Israel and the US may need to adjust their tactics, improve countermeasures, and continue developing new technologies to maintain their aerial advantage.

The Secretary-General of Iraq's Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq resistance group, Qais al-Khazali, has issued a stark warning to Israel against initiating a new war on Lebanon, emphasising that such aggression would jeopardise the strategic interests of its key ally, the United States, in West Asia. In a bold statement, al-Khazali underscored that the Israeli regime and its extremist right-wing administration, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would ultimately fail to benefit the United States, questioning the wisdom of Washington's unwavering support for Tel Aviv.
