Israel says intercepted missile fired from Yemen
Israel has repeatedly struck Houthi-held parts of Yemen after the Iran-backed rebels began targeting the country with missile and drone attacks, claiming solidarity with Palestinians over the Gaza war.
The Houthis targeted Ben Gurion International Airport "using a 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile", according to military spokesman Yarya Saree, who had hours earlier claimed a similar attack on the airport.
On Monday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said "Yemen's fate will be the same as Tehran's" after hitting Huthi targets in Hodeida port in an attack aimed to prevent any attempt to restore infrastructure previously hit.
A Houthi security official, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told AFP that "the bombing destroyed the port's dock, which had been rebuilt following previous strikes."
The Houthis recently resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to put pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war.

Gaza Government Media Office: "Enemy has allowed only 14% of required aid over 8 days"
Gaza - Saba: The Government Media Office in Gaza revealed on Monday that the Israeli enemy has permitted the entry of only 14% of the required humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip over the past eight days. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the office explained that the Israeli enemy continues to enforce a policy of "engineered chaos and starvation" against civilians in the Strip. It noted that only 674 trucks had entered the Strip in eight days, out of the approximately 4,800 trucks needed to meet the minimum humanitarian requirements—averaging no more than 84 trucks per day. The office pointed out that most of this aid, after entering Gaza, is subjected to "systematic looting and theft" due to the security chaos imposed by the Israeli enemy. It emphasized that the Strip requires at least 600 aid and fuel trucks daily to secure basic needs in the health, service, and food sectors, amid the complete collapse of infrastructure and the ongoing genocide committed by the Zionist enemy. The Media Office strongly condemned the crime of deliberate starvation, the continued closure of crossings, and the prevention of the entry of infant formula and relief supplies. It held the Israeli enemy and its international allies fully responsible for the worsening humanitarian catastrophe threatening the lives of over 2.4 million Palestinians in the besieged enclave. The statement concluded by reiterating the call for the international and humanitarian community to take urgent action to permanently open crossings, ensure the continuous flow of relief and medical aid, and hold the enemy accountable for its ongoing crimes against defenseless civilians in Gaza.

From School to Camp
The 'Proletariat' school where I completed my secondary education, located on the Aden-Lahj road where I spent three years, has now become a camp for the Fifth Brigade, a newly established unit. This transformation carries a profound meaning for me. When a school turns into a camp or a prison, it signifies a serious failure in policies and the awareness of those in charge. Here, the camp appears to be more important than the school, a fact evident in the differences in attention, food provisions, maintenance, renovations, and material support. This reflects a clear aspect of the political consciousness regarding the status of the camp in comparison to the school, which also includes a student dormitory. The school we attended was far from ideal; it underwent no repairs or maintenance throughout our three years there. The contrast between the wretched state of the school and the well-equipped camp, which underwent complete renovations, was stark and striking. The camp became a place of pride, with newly established infrastructure that included all necessary means for military training in parachuting and assault, such as engineering obstacles, training grounds, and field training requirements. Competent officers of high ranks, tasked with training, were all affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. It's worth noting that before this place became a camp, it was a school with several teachers, some of whom were also affiliated with the Popular Front. I remember the philosophy, Arabic, and biology teachers, along with a Lebanese teacher of Palestinian descent who taught various aspects of the Arabic language. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was the common thread between the school of the past and the camp where we train today. Their competence, ethics, and professionalism distinguished them all. This training course introduced me to new and significant knowledge that I had long wished for. The instructors were skilled and professional, carrying a unique awareness and maturity that earned our respect and admiration. We put in considerable effort to gain their approval through hard work, learning, and discipline. I grew fond of these trainers, and through them, I developed an affinity for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and its leader, 'George Habash,' whom they referred to as 'the Wise.' My gratitude towards this front, which was present in our school and equally so in this unprecedented military course, is immense. I cherished the trainer Abu Ali, from whom I learned military knowledge previously unknown to the Yemeni army. His lessons were new, unique, and filled with wonder and astonishment. I found myself asking more questions than I could count, while he provided detailed answers, enriching our military knowledge day by day. He regarded me as his star pupil, or at least that was my impression. I also admired trainer Abu Firas, who conducted intense field training involving combat, running, overcoming fires, and navigating engineering obstacles. Simultaneously, I followed the policies of the Popular Front, growing to appreciate it more than other Palestinian factions, perhaps because it deserved such affection, or because of the people I met through it. However, I always held great admiration and respect for its wise leader, George Habash.
