Top Houthi military commander survives 'Israeli' assassination attempt: Hebrew media
Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, the Iran-aligned Houthi's Chief of General Staff, survived an 'Israeli' assassination attempt but sustained serious injuries, the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan News) reported.
The 'Israeli' air force reportedly launched a targeted strike Saturday night on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, aiming to kill al-Ghamari, a top-ranking military official in the Houthi leadership.
While Hebrew Channel 12 confirmed the airstrike was intended to eliminate al-Ghamari, it stopped short of providing full details on the operation's outcome.
However, Kan said later the Houthi official was injured but survived.
Meanwhile, Axios cited an 'Israeli' official who described the operation as part of broader efforts to counter Iranian influence in the region, noting that al-Ghamari was considered the Houthis' highest-ranking military commander.
Who is Mohammed al-Ghamari?
Al-Ghamari serves as the Chief of General Staff for Houthi forces and is regarded as one of the group's most senior and influential military leaders. He joined the movement in 2013 and has led operations on key fronts, including Saada and Hodeidah.

MAGA Republicans overwhelmingly support US strikes on Iran: Statistics
A recent poll has revealed strong support among Make America Great Again (MAGA)-aligned Republicans for potential US military strikes on Iran. The survey, conducted by J.L. Partners between June 16 and 17 and shared exclusively with The New York Post, found that 65 percent of self-identified MAGA Republicans would support US strikes on Iranian military outposts and infrastructure. Only 19 percent expressed opposition. In comparison, 51 percent of traditional Republicans backed strikes, while 28 percent opposed them. The poll results conducted by J.L. Partners. Overall, 58 percent of Republican voters favored US strikes on Iran, with 25 percent against and 17 percent undecided or neutral. 'This poll makes clear: the Republican base is not isolationist. They back forceful US and Israeli action to stop Iran, and see Israel's fight as America's fight,' said James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners. The findings come as high-profile MAGA figures remain divided over the extent of US involvement in the 'Israel'-Iran war. While President Donald Trump has voiced support for 'Israel' and helped coordinate its defense against Iranian attacks, he has so far held back from authorizing direct strikes on Iran. Despite the divide among right-wing influencers, Trump's approval rating remains extremely high among his 2024 voters, with 95 percent approving of his overall performance and 84 percent supporting his handling of the 'Israel'-Iran conflict. The poll also highlights broader Republican and MAGA support for 'Israel's' military campaign. Sixty-seven percent of MAGA Republicans, 63 percent of Republicans, and 60 percent of Trump voters believe that 'Israel's' war is also America's, and that the US should stand firmly behind the Jewish state. Support for 'Israel's' preemptive strikes is especially strong within the MAGA base, with 81 percent approving of the attacks. Additionally, 59 percent of MAGA Republicans and 52 percent of Republicans overall believe that the conflict should continue until Iran's nuclear capabilities are eliminated. While some MAGA figures like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have warned against deeper US involvement, Trump has dismissed such criticism. He recently described Carlson as 'kooky' and claimed that Carlson later apologized for doubting him. 'My supporters are for me,' Trump told reporters. 'If my supporters oppose my support of Israel, they should oppose me. My supporters don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.' Bannon, for his part, predicted that the MAGA base would ultimately align with Trump's decisions, saying the movement would 'get on board' if he chose to strike Iran. Trump himself has remained ambiguous about his next move. 'I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do,' he said when asked if he plans to order strikes on Iran. The survey also found widespread concern across party lines about a nuclear-armed Iran. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe such a development 'cannot be allowed.' Military analysts have warned that without US support, 'Israel' may be unable to destroy deeply buried Iranian nuclear sites, such as the Fordow enrichment facility, located nearly half a mile underground. Experts suggest that only American heavy bombers equipped with bunker-busting munitions could potentially reach it — and even that remains uncertain.

Oil falls as investors weigh chance of US intervention in Iran-Israel conflict
Ammon News - Oil prices fell on Thursday with investors hesitating to take new positions after President Donald Trump gave mixed signals on potential U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, while the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged. Brent crude futures fell 20 cents, or 0.26%, to $76.5 a barrel by 0421 GMT, after gaining 0.3% in the previous session when high volatility saw prices fall as much as 2.7%. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for July fell 4 cents, or 0.05% to $75.10 a barrel, after settling up 0.4% in the previous when it dropped as much as 2.4%. The July contract expires on Friday and the more active August contract was down 8 cents, or 0.11%, to $73.42 a barrel. Iran is the third-largest producer among members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, extracting about 3.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. About 19 million bpd of oil and oil products move through the Strait of Hormuz along Iran's southern coast and there is widespread concern the fighting could disrupt trade flows.
