Sirens sounded across central 'Israel' on Tuesday after the 'Israeli' military reported intercepting a missile allegedly launched from Yemen by the Houthi movement. In a statement, the 'Israeli' army said a single missile was fired toward 'Israeli' territory and was successfully intercepted before impact. The launch triggered air raid sirens in multiple areas, sending residents rushing to shelters. Hebrew Channel 12 reported that people remained in shelters for an extended period following the alert. No injuries or damage were reported, and the military did not disclose details about the type of missile intercepted.

Houthi missiles trigger Israeli airport shutdowns as Tel Aviv strikes Yemen's Hodeida port
ALBAWABA- Air raid sirens rang out across central and southern Israel, including Ashkelon and the greater Tel Aviv area, after a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen, prompting widespread panic and sheltering. Israeli authorities confirmed that one missile was intercepted before it reached Israeli airspace, marking the second such launch in as many days by Yemen's Houthi movement. As a precaution, air traffic was temporarily suspended at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport, with thousands of Israelis forced into shelters across affected regions. Channel 12 reported that the public remained under alert even after the interception. The Houthis have declared the missile strikes a response to what they call Israeli "atrocities" in Gaza and continued aggression against Yemen. The launches are part of a broader campaign to pressure Israel amid its ongoing war in Gaza. Also Read Israeli navy carries out its first attack on Yemen In a significant escalation, Israel retaliated on Tuesday by striking the port city of Hodeidah in western Yemen, the first such Israeli naval attack in the conflict. The Israeli military claimed the Houthis were using the port to smuggle weapons, allegedly bypassing UN inspections. Hodeida is a key hub for humanitarian aid to Yemen, and the attack is likely to complicate relief operations in a country already grappling with hunger and war.

UK, allies sanction Israeli ministers over incitement, U.S. support for two-state solution frays
ALBAWABA- The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Norway have jointly imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinian communities. Also Read Israeli navy carries out its first attack on Yemen In a coordinated statement released on Friday, the five countries cited "repeated incitements of extremist violence and gross violations of Palestinian human rights" as grounds for the punitive measures. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron emphasized the urgency of de-escalation, stating, 'We will continue to press for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas.' He added that settler violence and ongoing settlement expansion are jeopardizing the already fragile prospects of a two-state solution. 'We have taken action to hold Ben-Gvir and Smotrich accountable for their incitement and extremist rhetoric,' Cameron said. His comments were echoed by the foreign ministers of Australia, New Zealand, and Norway, who reiterated their commitment to a peaceful resolution grounded in the two-state framework. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich dismissed the sanctions as foreign interference, declaring, 'Britain once tried to prevent us from settling in our homeland, and we will not allow it again. We are determined to build.' Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded defiantly, saying, 'We defeated the Pharaoh of Egypt, and we will defeat Keir Starmer too,' referencing the UK Labour leader in a pointed rebuke of the British sanctions. Ben-Gvir also lashed out at the measures, doubling down on his controversial stance.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre denounced the 'completely unacceptable violations of international law currently taking place in Gaza,' warning that Israeli policies are undermining peace and security in the region. In a related development, Bloomberg cited the U.S. ambassador to Israel expressing doubt over Washington's continued support for a Palestinian state. According to the report, the ambassador questioned whether establishing such a state in the West Bank remains a U.S. foreign policy priority, suggesting it might be sought 'elsewhere in the region.'
