Israel Poised to Launch Large-Scale Military Operation in Yemen Against Iran-Backed Houthis
Aden - Israeli military officials have signaled preparations for a large-scale military operation in Yemen targeting the Iran-backed Houthi movement, following a series of missile and drone attacks launched from Yemeni territory toward Israel.
According to Israeli defense sources, the planned operation comes in response to multiple ba llistic missile launches by the Houthis, including a recent strike aimed at Ben Gurion Airport, which was intercepted before impact. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for over 70 missile and drone attacks on Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict in late 2023.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have already conducted limited airstrikes on Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Sanaa and Hodeidah, targeting what they described as weapons depots, missile launch sites, and Iranian supply routes. However, military analysts suggest that Israel is now preparing for a broader and more sustained campaign, potentially involving naval and air assets operating over long distances.
The Houthis, for their part, have vowed to continue their attacks in what they call 'solidarity with Gaza', and have warned of retaliation if Israel expands its operations in Yemen.

13 Palestinians Martyred, including 3 Sibling Children, in Zionist Bombing Across Gaza Strip
Gaza – SABA: Thirteen Palestinian civilians were martyred on Sunday by gunfire, artillery shelling, and airstrikes carried out by the Zionist enemy forces in various areas of the Gaza Strip. A medical source reported that three sibling children were martyred due to enemy artillery shelling on Ahmed Fikri Abu Warda Street in Jabalia al-Nazla, north of the Strip, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA). Four Palestinians, including a young girl, were martyred, and others sustained varying injuries after Israeli enemy forces bombed a home in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. Additionally, at least one civilian was martyred and several others were injured in an enemy airstrike targeting the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City. The enemy's artillery also shelled the western line northeast of Khan Younis and targeted the northern part of the central governorate in the middle of the Strip. Amid the ongoing Zionist massacre against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, five citizens were martyred and dozens were injured by Israeli enemy forces' gunfire on Sunday afternoon while waiting for aid in the northern part of Rafah, southern Gaza. According to UN reports, more than 560 Palestinian citizens have been martyred while attempting to obtain food at so-called "Israeli-American aid distribution points," which are internationally condemned. Since their establishment in late May, these points have turned into traps for mass killings, in addition to deliberately humiliating Palestinians and forcing displacement under catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
